So sick of people seeing “silly” gadgets in videos and claiming whoever uses them are lazy.
Disabled people exist.
Most of those “silly” gadgets are for us.
Just because you don’t have use for it doesn’t mean it’s not important for someone. You may find it stupid but it may give someone freedom in a way they haven’t had for who knows how long.
“Why don’t you just (task that’s hard for disabled people to do)!” Why don’t you shut the fuck up.
Stop making fun of gadgets that are for disabled people.
So I ended up with free time at the end of my first class today, so I was like “do yall wanna see a vintage meme?” and turned on “what does the fox say”. Expected like. A laugh from the kids, or even just a “wtf is this mx?” which is. A reasonable reaction to What Does The Fox Say.
But instead of a reasonable reaction. all of my students watched the first 60 seconds with jaws agape. And then this one kids turns to me like the fucking eye of Sauron and literally goes:
My husband told me I also should share the next part of this story, where I, feebly trying to defend my honor against a child, said, “No, this video was just big when I was in college!” and he scoffed, rolled his eyes, and absolutely obliterated me by saying, “So did you go to furry college?”
To everyone pointing out my icon: do I have a fursona? Yes. Does that make me a furry? Almost definitely. Do you admit that to a 12 year old who has just accused you of being a furry, in front of 23 other 12 year olds, with 25 instructional days left in the year? Absolutely THE FUCK not!!!
I need you in my life man. You’re the only guy I know who can say “ganondorf” like the smash bros announcer. Please just come back and be my little ganondorf jester please
I love my name and I chose it because it’s a gender neutral nickname for my full given name I just hope and pray that no one ever thinks I named myself after the guy from Heartstopper or WORSE the guy from GoT.
