Cosmic Horror Bimboy

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.

“What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently?” What if the fucking disabled people had needed to get to their stop urgently?????

People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”

It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.

Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.

Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.

There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.

Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.

Yep!

#obligated to reblog limmy on my dash but op why didn’t you post the whole rest of the clip!!!

ur so right

what would you do

Little details & things about this SFM i felt like sharing!

genuinely they have probably saved people.

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

there's a lot of slapstick comedy in ed edd n eddy, and i think everything comes down to the fact that these characters have no concept of personal space. none. it just doesn't exist. they're constantly roughhousing and manhandling each other but they're also constantly clinging to each other and won't stop doing shit like this so it all loops back around in the end, really

like i've never seen so much of this in a cartoon. they will not stop holding each other. eddy just crawls all over people like a spider. incredible

this is making me insane

so my twitter feed pointed out something...interesting

buying microsoft products funds genocide

i understand we cant be perfect in this, and microsoft has wormed its way into almost every aspect of our lives so its not like we can just cut all ties with a single mouse click, but like. you dont need that that video game.

BDS is specifically focusing a target on XBOX and is requesting people participate in the following tiers of engagement:

1. cancel game pass subscriptions

2. avoid spending time/money on candy crush, Minecraft and call of duty

3. boycott all Microsoft gaming products, including Xbox branded consoles and accessories AND any Microsoft owned publishing labels

Bare minimum you should be able to cancel a game pass subscription, but I think we can all try to push for a level 3 participation. BDS specifically requests people avoid Bethesda in their list of Microsoft owned publishers.

This is a specific request of a targeted boycott, which has a higher chance of success. It's nearly impossible to avoid products from all companies involved in the genocide, but we can focus on specific targets with specific demands and help push Microsoft to divest.

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think

You may not need anither cup of coffee, you may need some more food, or maybe both? You deserve to take an actual lunch break even if it isn't normalized. I've heard a lot of talk about fiber recently, and yes, it deserves the hype. It may not be a lack of willpower or discipline, it may be the body wanting to keep you alive and nourished?

i don’t give a fuck if i “sound like chatgpt,” you will pry—my em dash—from my cold—dead—hands—fuck you fuck you fuck you

in all seriousness, i find it concerning how we’ve begun to denigrate rigid/formal english in favor of what feels “real” (i.e. informal, social). harrowing implications for neurodivergent and ESL communities. i was a child who “sounded like a computer”—i can’t imagine what my education would have felt like under AI-driven scrutiny. as an adult, i’m far more equipped to construct my thoughts using informal language, but i consider that skill a privilege

many people experience this in reverse, learning english as a native language through peer-driven social experiences. in that world, “formal” english signifies privilege and education rather than neurodivergence and/or multilingualism, so i understand the impulse to attack it, but there’s nothing wrong with relying on structure to be understood, and—for the record—you cannot always identify generative AI with a cursory glance. it is an exercise in hubris to believe otherwise
