Jonathan: Go away!
Buffy: Never gonna happen.
Jonathan: You think I won't use this?
Buffy: I don't know, Jonathan. I just –
Jonathan: Stop doing that!
Buffy: Doing what?
Jonathan: Stop saying my name like we're friends! We're not friends! You all think I'm an idiot! A short idiot!
Buffy: I don't. I don't think about you much at all. Nobody here really does.
Buffy: Bugs you, doesn't it? You have all this pain and all these feelings, and nobody's really paying attention?

Jonathan: I know.
Buffy: [holds out hand] I'd rather do it this way. [gently takes the rifle from Jonathan as he hands it to her]

When you say that we are not disabled, when you say that we are “better than that”; that instead we are “handicapable”, simply “differently” abled, or when you haphazardly throw a parenthesis around an unsuspecting prefix, what you are really saying is that you are afraid. You are afraid of acknowledging...

So I reblogged something about public proposals and I saw that someone reblogged me and called me judgmental because I didn’t agree. That’s a little hypocritical don’t you think? They said that if I didn’t like the proposal then I should have “negotiated it with my partner”. I’m sorry but that’s fucking stupid. Anyone as close...
