Like, 90% of infomercial style products were designed by/for disabled people, but you wouldn’t know that, because there is no viable market for them. THey have to be marketted and sold to abled people just so that any money can be made of off them and so the people who actually need them will have access.
I think snuggies are the one example almost everyone knows. They were invented for wheelchair users (Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a coat on and off of someone in a wheelchair? Cause it’s PRETTY FUCKIN HARD.) But now everyone just acts like they’re some ~quirky, white people thing~ and not A PRODUCT DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLES DAY TO DAY LIVES 10000X EASIER.
But if at any point you were to take your head out of your own ass and go “Hey, who would a product like this benefit,” that would be really cool.
This makes informational make so much sense now.
Like… of course there’s no reason for that guy to knock over that bowl of chips. However, the person it was actually designed for has constant hand tremors that would make this pretty rad, but since we don’t want to show that in a commercial, here’s an able bodied guy who can’t remember how gravity works.
Shit. Those commercials suddenly get a lot less funny when you realize it’s pretty much just people ineptly trying to mimic disability.

You people who have never had braces don’t understand that most of us still have a metal bar behind our teeth you just never see it and it’s not cool
i actually love looking in the mouths of my friends who had braces. it’s like a real estate developer went crazy on a new construction and then ran out of money halfway through and abandoned it.
I eat everything bagels for breakfast most days and those damn seeds get stuck in my permanent retainer all the time.
I have a tiny safety pin at my desk, specifically for poking into the gaps of my retainer to dislodge food bits.
Just a few pages ago she was angry about Lauren lying to her mom about what she was really doing. About using ‘magic’
Now she’s talking about how she hasn’t even told her mom about her own powers? Then why be so angry about it??
Salime is one of those people who LIKES TO BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. XD
That, and she is fiercely protective of her family, though she is quite blunt and aggressive about it. A variable like Lauren could bring the whole thing down, which is big threat in her mind.

Italian woman in space, took a moment to celebrate Captain Janeway at
around 250 miles above Earth. (CNET) (twitter)
