For anyone interested in more context for Heart's character, this article shines some light on the difficulties the deaf community faces in Thailand.
Excerpt for the busy:
There are 375,680 deaf individuals in Thailand according to the 2018 report by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. On average, 94.79 percent of differently-abled people in Thailand had completed primary education, while only 2 percent further go on to complete secondary education. Undergraduate education amongst differently-abled people plummeted to a mere 0.35 percent, while those with postgraduate education dropped to an alarmingly low 0.26 percent. Needless to say, differently-abled individuals face a different set of barriers in the education system, making entry into the workplace a challenging one.
I swear so many critics of queer media are full of brain rot, because they’ll watch a new queer series and invent an alternate universe where we have a rich body of queer media from which to judge tropes in these series as “tired” or “overdone” or “cheesy.” We don’t “earn” good queer media by constantly belittling new works for not being a tortured artistic exploration of queerness in an unforgiving society. Queer media is allowed to have tropes that are relatable, and tropes aren’t inherently bad. Queer media is allowed to expand to different genres. Queer media is allowed to be idealistic and cheesy, and it is especially allowed to be campy. If it doesn’t directly and actively harm queer people by reinforcing negative stereotypes and promoting violence towards us then it’s not “overdone.” You just don’t like it. 🙄
one can instantly free oneself from the chains of identity discourse by simply conceiving of sexuality as something that is dialectical and not metaphysical

Not just thousands of Palestinian children, but tens of thousands of Palestinian youths, men, women, and the elderly. 5% of Gaza's population has been either severely disabled/injured, has gone missing, or has been genocided. From destroying orchards and farms, to the destruction of Gaza Infrastructure to the point where it has collapsed in many spaces -especially their medical complexes, to the complete lack of access to fresh and clean water. Israhell is also still starving Palestinians -is still committing war crimes, and now this? The zionists are continuing their illegal settler-colonial project full steam ahead apparently, and it's beyond horrific.
