Before I got my glasses the stars looked big and well star shaped, with lots of little spikes, I was utterly disappointed when I got my glasses, looked at the night sky and they’re just dots, boring ass dots.
Oh I had the same experience with my friend’s hair. I used to like being behind her in line because her hair was like a flowing, floaty cloud. When I first wore glasses, I could see each hair and it became like a tangle of wires.
You should try looking up at the stars with night vision some day. It’s spectacular.
…Or so I’ve heard. I’m one of the poors that can’t afford unfilmed gen III white phosphor tubes.
Just mine your own phosphor at home
Wtf is that event name? That is possibly the most convoluted way to write “disability awareness day”.
DAD is a much better acronym.
It’s literally the same logic that led to “people of color”, just applied to having a disability.
But I have to have a way to look down on people who are sympathetic to my cause but aren’t serially online. How else will everyone know I’m more compassionate than you?
I think it stems from a movement to stop identifying people first by their disability. I think along the lines of the difference between “Here’s a disabled person” or “Here’s a person who happens to have a disability.” Lots of people would rather be first identified as a person.
Shrug.
The idea that an adjective being literally first in a phrase, determining what a person “is identified as” first, is ridiculous.
Was there really not a shorter title than Day of Persons With Disabilities?
“Spaz day” wouldn’t get the right message across, I suppose.
And miss the chance of that amazing acronym that just rolls of the tongue?
