hi everyone! so while the term “handicapped” is really outdated/problematic & we don’t use it to discuss pwd anymore, i still hear good, woke people use it to refer to parking spots/toilets/etc. like “the handicapped stall” or whatever. and i really think they do that bc they don’t know of a better term. so i’m gonna give you one!  “accessible!!!!”
any time you’d say “handicapped,” say “accessible”
“oh, he has fibromyalgia, so he has an accessible parking permit” “due to her spinal cord injury, she has an accessible dorm room” etc etc
this is cool for two main reasons! 1 – you’re not using super outdated language and 2 – it puts the focus on the accessibility of the environment, not the personal impairment, which if you’ve done any reading on the social model of disability, you’ll know is a really good thing.
so spread the word, practice better disability politics, and spare me the inward cringe every time i have to hear the word “handicapped”
Bards are too powerful. They can learn mass suggestion. All they have to do is yell “Everybody clap your hands!” and make up to 12 people do the Cha Cha slid for 24 hoursÂ
…. a level 20 bard can force you to do the Cha Cha Slide for a year and a day
anyone on these interwebs wanna talk about……… clowns?
Hey d’you want to know why some clowns are scary?
i am definitely apprehensive but sure i would like to know
So I learned to be a clown briefly in grade 7. And here’s the thing, clowning is taking the worst aspects of yourself and amplifying them to the point of hilarity (It’s quite good for self-esteem, actually). But here’s the thing, some people try to make their clown a happy clown when they themselves aren’t a happy person, and that is, technically, lying. And our brains are REALLY REALLY GOOD at detecting lies, so warning bells go off. And therefore we get scared.
TL:DR, the only scary clowns are the ones who are lying.
“the only scary clowns are the ones who are lying” is a mood and im not sure how but it really really is
i’ll never get over the fact that there’s a movie called “snakes on a plane” and in that movie there’s a line that is, verbatim, “ive had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane”.
that is absolutely bonkers. that’s ridiculous. that’s like making a movie called “gators in the sewer” and having someone in the movie say “im getting really sick and tired of these fucking gators in the sewer”
the funny part is that the alternate title was something mundane like “flight 93″ and samuel l. jackson made the director change it back to “snakes on a plane” bc he said it was the only reason he auditioned
oh my god, the youth have forgotten that there was a huge viral phenomenon when this movie was being filmed, where the internet got wind of the working title snakes on a plane, and a) demanded that title be made official, b) CAME UP WITH the line about these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane, and c) GOT THE LINE INCLUDED IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE
You forgot the part where three up and coming bands in the emo scene collaborated to write a song called Snakes On a Plane and filmed a music video of themselves smuggling snakes onto a plane, and it practically launched all of their careers.
Why is every response in this thread like “you must’ve forgot” or “the youth have forgotten”?
I saw the movie when it came out and never forgot any of this stuff, but I still feel exactly the same as OP. You don’t have to be a n00b to think it’s astonishing that Snakes on a Plane is a thing that actually happened.
