i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

I hadn’t really considered “the agnostic demigod of electromagnetism is the reason Musk’s companies fail” before, but I like the concept.

Fuck it we'll hold this art community together on our own.

If you're an artist who does commissions or a person who likes to buy commissions reblog to boost and reply with your commission prices etc.

You got adopts currently open? YCH's? Share those too.

This works best if you share an image of your price list. That way it shows up when people look at the replies.

Tags are nice but visual art is visual and people love seeing examples!

Something needs to be done about teachers who hate kids tbh

My sister is currently getting her doctorate in child psychology & education, but years ago she worked as a substitute english teacher at a high school in nyc. She spent half a year subbing for a woman who was out for surgery, and had been teaching english there for years and years. Most of the kids in this class were remedial; they had failed english before and had to retake it. Most of them hated the class, and they hated literature, because they had been made to feel unintelligent. My sister decided to introduce them to poetry, which was a little easier to digest than long form prose, and had them read Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice." And the kids loved it! They connected with it, they were spirited and engaged in class for the first time all year. They wrote their own poetry! They started seeking out and reading poetry on their own! They were all on track to get a C, B or A in that class. And then the original teacher returned and failed every single student, to "teach them all a lesson". That was the moment my sister decided to go into administration so she could hopefully prevent that sort of thing from happening. But it's difficult. Despite numerous complaints from parents and other teachers, that teacher had a job there for decades. She continued to have a job there. There are a lot of teachers like her, wielding power and taking their frustrations out on kids, especially disabled and remedial kids. And students have so few advocates in the classroom.

This post has turned into teachers complaining that this behavior is understandable because of burnout, low wages, etc and like. Ok then quit lmao. If you treat my kid like this because of "burnout" I'm gonna burn out your fucking teeth

that teacher sounds shitty some classrooms have kids who are not willing to learn yet and they'll act up and behavior is not smtg school adminnis great about helping teachers with a remedial class does seem like a classroom where students would want to learn to so they could graduate and many times their grades are bumped up TO pass them i'm surprised that teacher could get away with failing them admin usu does their best to pass students for school funding

*reaches through your screen and shakes you by the shoulders*

accessibility goes beyond what the government decides is accessible!

disability is more than what the government decides is disabled!

*shakes Americans harder* the ADA is not enough and should not be the stopping point for accessible advocacy!

I'm happy this struck a cord because it's deeply frustrating as a (mostly) ambulatory disabled person that my other disabled comrades had to drag themselves up the capitol steps without their mobility aids to get the ADA passed, which was hopefully meant to be a bare minimum of recognition of a systemic problem and hopefully reflect new access that mirrors what ambulatory able-bodied people can access. This was never the case and has been weaponized against us american disabled people of all demographics to insinuate that we already have equal access. Now we have fun things like "ADA entrances" and "ADA accessible" as a selling point for events and hotels and the like.

I can't use the bathroom in over 50% of public places due to lack of sanitary features for my medical device. The ADA does not require hooks and/or shelving for medical devices, only that if hooks are offered they be at a level accessible by little people and wheelchair users.

And when I do have access to an accessible bathroom/stall, it's usually the only stall large enough to accommodate mobility devices like wheelchairs, which makes me weary of taking space from someone else. I bring an S hook (thank you followers for the rec) to make my own adaptations to stalls in a pinch. This usually isn't an option for people who require larger hooks to hang their mobility aids. Most accessible stalls also lack sinks as well, so we still have to handle our medical devices with soiled hands.

July is Disability Pride Month. I'd love to recommend starting with An Oral History of the Capitol Crawl if you'd like to learn a little more about The Capitol Crawl itself and the organization behind it, ADAPT. Despite the shortcomings of the ADA, I don't want to downplay the blood, sweat, and tears that disabled activists put into getting the act passed. We wouldn't have what we have today without them.

Other disabled people feel free to chime in about your experiences, especially in other countries. I can only speak from my experiences as a us american.
