Alright I’ll bite. Here’s why you can’t use the “expensive perfume” story to justify spending 7mil on a 30 second ad when the least of these are *right there*: you can’t compare every astronomically expensive church-related thing to perfume. It was a thing done in private to

Hi disabled and/or chronically ill friends, What's your most helpful purchase which has made your life more accessible in some way?

i do believe that bears are dangerous and anyone who thinks they can get close to one is very stupid. but i also think i am different and the bear would sense my loving spirit

Today I shared an incident that happened to me in law school. The experience is not uncommon, even today. As a 1L, I told a professor I was disabled, and as a result, I was threatened with an honor code violation and academic discipline.

u must release your fear of being annoying or cringe or “too much” in order to truly live a joyful and satisfying life. being a little annoying is actually really fun and many of you need to try it

Unwanted Attention Once, at a Christian conference, I got caught in an elevator with one of the speakers. He looked at me for a while. Awkward. Then he said to me, "God told me he doesn't want you to wear glasses. You don't need them. Let me pray for your healing right now!" I said, "No, thank you!" He looked wounded and baffled at once. I was the host of the conference. Didn't look good on me. But I have to be honest. I didn't believe him. Wearing glasses is not a disability. But I sure can identify a bit with my disabled friends who are constantly harassed by well-intentioned people who want to heal them and fit them back into the community as "normal" people. Imagine being constantly prayed upon in a way that disrupts your valid attempts to just be there as you are! Without having to be able-bodied and therefore "normal". This applies to my friends with invisible disabilities as well. I think this obsession to miraculously heal people is often motivated by an anxious need for God to prove themself and make everyone "normal". Discrimination is often driven by this anxiety while cloaked in good intentions. Alt text: cartoon of a woman in the aisle of a church with pews and no wheel chair space in the visible portion. A group of members lays hands on her and prays for a miracle out loud. One asks, "Do YOU believe in miracles?" The woman is thinking: "The real miracle would be if I could just go to church without all this unwanted attention." The pastor in the pulpit and additional members in the pews all look directly at the scene.

"The Little Mermaid is a DANGEROUS MOVIE for Christians to watch, because it depicts a sea witch taking away a woman's voice, and only evangelicals are allowed to do that."
