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.

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
jack is sooo in love with david it makes him look stupid. the first real conversation they have, jack negotiates the split of profits to be 60-40, despite knowing upfront that david had at least two mouths to feed, himself and les, whereas jack only had himself to worry about. jack goes from that — screwing david over in the prioritization of his own survival (which to be clear i dont judge him for, i think it's very human) — to scabbing for david. which is a huge personal sacrifice, i mean jack literally puts himself under the thumb of pulitzer knowing the loss of freedom and humiliation that entails, sacrifices his reputation and his relationship with david in one fell swoop, damages the strength of the strike, etc
and when david confronts him, jack says, "i aint like you. it's just me, i gotta look out for myself." and what always gets me is how there’s such a huge contrast between what comes out of jack's mouth (i'm only in it for myself, i dont care about you) vs what the reality of the situation is (i'm doing this to protect you, i'm breaking your heart because of you)
like. something about david makes jack throw away his self preservation instincts, which is what makes him so flighty, AND confront his deeply rooted belief that he isn't loved, which he copes with by telling himself that he can move to santa fe no problem because he has no real attachments here. in the end it always circles back to the fact that when jack makes the decision to stay in new york, he looks at david and grins and says. "I got family here." really good.

Albert DaSilva is brasilian
DaSilva/ da Silva/ Silva is THE MOST popular brazilian last name
It was a last name given to our native population when they were baptized into catholicism by the portuguese colonizers and conquerors. It means "from the wild/forest"
