I hope, if Elementary eventually brings in Moriarty, he’s played by Jesse Williams.

So, I noticed this picture on my Facebook:

And, firstly, I hate inspiration porn. A lot. It’s always some random picture, usually of a child, with a disability doing something simple like playing or running, etc. And see, it’s inspiring cuz look at those poor poor disabled people doing ‘normal’ people things. And people without disabilities look at it and tell each other, ‘hey see those disabled people can do it, so can you!’ People with disabilities aren’t here to be inspirations to other people. I just want to live my life. I don’t want to be told how ‘brave’ I am for simply… existing.

This is something I really hate. The people who come up to me and tell me ‘oh, I could never do what you do.’ Or even worse, the people (it doesn’t matter how many, the people who do say this are triggering as hell) who say things like ‘oh, if I had a diagnosis like that, I’d just kill myself.’ Yeah, thanks.  

So there’s that. But THIS picture, is particularly terrible because of that quote. I hate that quote. No, no, there are other disabilities. I can have the best attitude ever and I’m still not gonna be able to lift more than about 20 lbs without intense pain, I still won’t be able to run. My illness isn’t going to be magically cured because I have a good attitude about it. Also, those prosthetics, they actually cost a lot. Some insurances won’t cover stuff like that. Yeah, you can learn to live with a disability and work around it, and have a good attitude about things. But guess what? It’s still a disability! Some people just aren’t going to able to do everything a person without any disabilities can do. Not everyone is going to able to run, or even be able to walk. There exist in this world disabilities, and attitude has not a damn thing to do with it. 

Reblogging for awesome commentary. 

The other harmful consequence of quotes like that in the picture is increased stigma towards people with mental illness. If society accepts the premise that attitude has anything to do with disability, this increases the expectation that mentally ill people can and should just wish their illness away. This particularly applies to depression and anxiety.

Names are important not just culturally but specifically within the universe of Doctor Who: the Doctor’s choice of name and what it means both to him and to other people was examined under Steven Moffat in “The Beast Below” (when he stated that once he had ‘killed’ the star whale…

Yellow - Childhood - I don’t miss it one bit. I had a hard time growing up tomboyish with short hair in a small town (even if it has 500.000 inhabitants, they still behave as a small village) where everyone was expected to be really inside strict gender rules. 

Pink - Parents - I love them and they really inspire me. They’re a source of wisdom and very loving.

White - Personality - Hmm… when I’m not annoying, dramatic and demanding, I think I’m brilliant. And I have a giant ego too.

Green - Body - I love my body. At least, that’s what I try to do most of the time. Not easy. Could be harder, though. 

Blue - Family - I love my family a lot. We stick together and we defend ourselves like a pack of wolves.

Red - My Best Friend - I’m actually lucky enough to have more than one best friend. They’re all far away now, well, except for one. 

White - My personality - I’m annoying, demanding and dramatic. Still, I like myself, when I’m not busy hating myself.
