Idk If People Have Talked About This Before But One Thing That's Really Special To Me About Having Grown

idk if people have talked about this before but one thing that's really special to me about having grown up loving Les Mis is that I used to find it extremely hard to relate to Grantaire because I was an extremely idealistic leftist that didn't understand not having any ideals - but having been forced to realize just how hard it is to actually cause any change, I have gone through phases of deep pessimism that do not improve with the way the state of the world is going.

During those phases, I find myself understanding and sympathizing with Grantaire's psyche so much that I get a lot of serenity from it. And then I sympathize even more with his obsession with Enjolras, because he to me is the personification of idealism, so yes, I do venerate that version of myself, and I do believe in it even when it's hard to believe that change is possible.

I just love Victor Hugo's writing so much and this dynamic has been so helpful for me to work through my complicated relationship with activism.

If I may add, Albert looks like a carrot cake with chocolate brigadeiro as frosting kinda guy

Brazillian Albert who always splits his first piece of cake and gives it to Race and Spot at the same time and Race and Spot who have no idea why he does this but never say anything cause they think it’s cute

Thats it. Thats the post.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

How is it called when you don't have parent issues because they are not necessarily bad parents, they're just not good people and you rather be anything than like them in any aspects of your life?

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.
