God I love this woman
July is Disability Pride Month. The first Disability Pride started in Boston, MA in 1990 but it has since become an international celebration. The aim of Disability Pride is described by the founders of Disability Pride NYC to “promote inclusion, awareness, and visibility of people with disabilities, and redefine public perception of disability”.
The Disability Pride flag has some very interesting symbolism interpreted by the artist which include:
The Black Field: this field is to represent the disabled people who have lost their lives due to not only their illness, but also negligence, suicide, and eugenics.
The Lightning Bolt: the shape of the lightning bold represent the non-lateral lives that many disabled people live, often having to adapt themselves or their physical routes to get around an inaccessible society.
The Colours: each colour on this flag represents a different aspect of disability or impairment:
Blue: mental illness
Yellow: cognitive and intellectual disabilities
Green: sensory perception disabilities
Red: physical disabilities
They did this on Mike’s farm, fite me
You can look me in the eye and tell me this isn’t the kind of shit the losers do in their free time, but I won’t believe you.

Content Warning: Ranboo talking about his facial dysmorphia and anxiety, and how it's been affecting him.
I’m so sad to hear that his facial dysmorphia has been getting worse. It really sucks. I really hope that he doesn’t feel pressured to face reveal, nor keep his word for the YouTube subgoal, because face revealing is his own thing. He gets to choose whether he is ready and comfortable to do it, or not.
Mental illnesses suck and sadly they’re not easy to “treat”, and sometimes they stick with you for a lifetime. But his willingness to reach out for professional help is good. I hope that his openness on the topic, and the way he sort of keeps us updated on his journey, brings about more awareness on mental illnesses, and that hopefully people affected by them feel “inspired” to seek out for help themselves.
Here are some resources to educate yourself on facial and body dysmorphia, and social anxiety disorder:
- Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
- Facial Dysmorphia (It falls under BDD)
- Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
- Relationship between Social Anxiety Disorder and Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Remember that these are not diagnostic tools and that you should seek immediate help if you feel like your wellbeing is threatened. Please talk to a professional if you need help. I know it seems counterintuitive sometimes, especially for people who suffer from social anxiety disorder, but I promise that in the end it will be worth it. You just have to push through the first steps. I believe in you!
My messages and “ask” ’s are always open if you need to vent or talk! If you only want me to read, and not hold an actual conversation, just say so and I will just read through your message :)
You are not alone.

I don’t know if this post has been made yet but I just want to warn everybody that if someone stops you in a parking lot and asks you if you’re interested in some perfume and hands you a paper to smell, PLEASE DON’T SMELL IT.
i repeat, DON’T SMELL IT.
Apparently the sample papers are being laced with a drug to knock you out. Please signal boost this. It can save someone’s life!
