Son of a pilot, here: it’s one of few standardized international safety laws that they can’t take off with passengers standing. If you’re on a plane anywhere in the world, you can do this. You’re legally within your rights to do so and they would be breaking the law to ignore you/take off regardless.
I want to go on cute dates and build pillow forts together and have snow ball fights late at night and go dip our feet into the lake on a warm afternoon with ice cream and after a long day of doing things together I want to be able to flop into bed beside you and fall asleep in each others arms
Looking back at the first episode of Carmilla makes me emotional because it reminds me how far the series has gone in the last four years. It only started as a series about Laura Hollis, a tiny gay journalist, and Carmilla karnstein, a useless lesbian vampire, trying to save some girls being sacrificed and dealing with the fact they had feelings for each other along with Danny,Perry, Laf and Kirsch. Now it means so much to so many people because of the well written romance between Laura and Carmilla and representation of both lesbians characters and non-binary characters too. They even avoided the dead lesbian syndrome with hollstein. We are so incredibly lucky to have the Carmilla series.
Fuck man I’ve literally never even thought about this (which sounds so stupid when I type it out but that ‘s the insidiousness of abelism isn’t it? If we aren’t he ones affected we don’t think about it) but that’s ridiculous. Getting a brail menu made up can’t be that difficult. (And if it is, it shouldn’t be.) The big chain restaurants, certainly, have no excuse for not doing this. They can afford to put in that effort, can afford those extra printing costs without question. And they should be doing it, without question. But they won’t unless we say something.
So how about the next time you go into a restaurant, you ask them if they have a brail menu. Tell them you’re “checking for a friend” or whatever, I don’t care. Just ask them. Start making posts and tweets. Heck, tweet at the restaurants if they’ve got twitter accounts. If enough people ask, if enough pressure gets placed, they’ll see there’s a demand. They’ll see there’s a need, an obligation to provide a basic fucking menu that everyone can access. And maybe they’ll take steps to meet it. We can hope right?
Because the fact that this isn’t already standard practice is fucking appalling.
to be honest Ive never thought of this too so I’m reblogging to spread it out there!!
