I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue. source

when people love you they find joy in making life easier for you
Tumblr user manwhorewednesdays:
This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.
Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good". source

With what's being done to Snap benefits--food stamps--this month, and Thanksgiving coming up, I think it's a really good time to give what you can to food pantries. With the reminder that money is always better than giving food, because the pantry is able to make that money go further and knows what they actually need. source

Tolkien would have loathed seeing his words used like this. He was a veteran who wrote The Lord of the Rings as a warning against the machinery of domination through the industrial, imperial and the bureaucratic.
"There won't be a Shire, Pippin" was spoken in fear of those who wage war and destroy homes, not by those recruiting for them.
It is a call to action, a warning to wake up and see that comfort is fragile and fleeting. If you think your peace will last while others are trampled, you have already begun to lose it. Do not let them co-opt that quote. It is not about them. It is about all of us who are woke to the rise of authoritarianism and fascism.
We already know the regime is using a literal Palantir to spy on its own citizens. Saruman is not a force for good, no matter how eloquently he whispered in the ears of world leaders.
As Tolkien wrote: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." source
