So called pro lifers claim to care so much about disabled people just, because they screech about people who get abortions because the fetus has Down syndrome, but don’t say a word when caregivers murder disabled people. They also want to cut benefits for disabled people (which are difficult enough to qualify for and are extremely punitive) and stand by while disabled people lose custody of their children, because of their disabilities.
Plus, their creepy fetus worshipping stance means they’d let me die if a wanted pregnancy goes very wrong (e.g. ectopic pregnancy, sepsis, preeclampsia). And they don’t acknowledge the hundreds of disabled people (especially disabled POC) who were sterilized against their will.
In short, they are hypocritical jerks who honestly don’t give a shit about disabled people.
Bao-Dur is an awesome underrated character.
- disabled veteran who is still wracked with guilt from his actions in the war - volunteer eco-vigilante working against a major, corrupt corporation to help an oppressed species save their planet, until mercenaries forced him into hiding - prefers droids to people because they’re easier to understand - followed around by a floating little droid he build as a child - exile: “can you build me one?” bao-dur: “i would, but then i wouldn’t be the only one with a floating sphere following him around and i kind of like that” - fluent in five languages: zabraki, ithorese, basic, bocce and binary - his talents in engineering rival the best echani shield smiths, he built himself an arm, also one of the lost jedi but still says ‘i’m just a tech’ - breaks through shields and force fields just by punching them. literally canon that bao-dur is the best at punching things - exile: “how’d you lose your arm, anyways?” bao-dur: “i got tired of it- kept dropping my hydrospanner. figured i’d get a new one” - “i’m trying to work here, atton” - probably the reason why he can’t equip jedi robes is bc he’s too buff and would probably just tear them apart by flexing - “if it wasn’t for me, we’d all be floating in space”
Prayers were dead songs lodged in my head, soothing, routine words that meant less to me than they should have.

Thought I’d share this with Floralia being upon us, which also overlaps with Beltane.

(c. 83 BCE-40 BCE) The first non-mythological woman to appear on Roman coins. She was married three times (Publius Clodius Pulcher, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Mark Antony) and actively involved in all her husband’s careers. She testified against the murderer of her first husband, and inherited several street gangs. She unsuccessfully plotted against Octavian in retaliation for divorcing her daughter Clodia. She was exiled to Greece and died. One of her sons by Mark Antony, Antyllus was executed after the Battle of Actium, while the other Jullus committed suicide after participating in a plot with Julia (the daughter of Augustus).
She’s not as well known, due to being overshadowed by both Livia Drusilla and Cleopatra (who was also involved with Mark Antony).
And Nonbinary people, genderqueer people and genderfluid people can also be bisexual.
you know bi girls aren’t diet wlw right? being attracted to men doesn’t decrease their attraction to women and they can love women just as strongly and the same goes for bi men not being mlm lite
