I actually feel kinda shitty now. I still hold with the core of what I said earlier, but I'm starting to notice I run into things half-cocked a bit lately. I don't take it well when people are flat-out dismissive of things other people are going through because I've had a very close friend in a situation that turned out to be incredibly serious. Still, I was being reactionary, wasn't I?

Yes, because I can at least admit it’s fucking ridiculous that seagulls scare the living shit out of me and make me hide whenever I so much as hear one

But I’m not going to get mad at someone for laughing about that

Not unless they PURPOSEFULLY go out of their way to shove seagulls at me, which someone has done in my inbox once before


INTENT.

ALWAYS KEEP THIS IN MIND

Learn the difference between an impulsive mistake and ill intent.

Denny didn’t suddenly react by posting a wall of tumblr bluespace images, or go after the person with more of said images.

All she did was go “LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS?”

And it’s perfectly fair to see the reason why, especially with how over reactive people are on tumblr.

To call her ableist for that is completely uncalled for.

another thing, I’m not going to demand people tag seagull posts just for me

sure it would be nice if they did but it doesn’t make them a bad person if they don’t feel like it

that’s unreasonable and unfair, because they never intended to target me or anyone else by posting it.

This reminds me of the hot chocolatey milk incident.
