creator: here is a new piece of media aimed at 4-5 year olds. it is about gnomes living at the bottom of the garden. tumblr: cool! tumblr, four hours later: anyone who ships pondwizzle is GARBAGE SCUM, clearly the only morally correct ship is grundywaggle or at a push pondblubby. Is Grundy the Gnome a minor? EXILE BLUBBY THE GNOME FROM THE GARDEN. I WANT HIM TO GET EATEN BY SPARROWS. I miss half an hour ago before this fandom got so toxic. Here’s a masterpost on Pondwater the Gnome’s systematic abuse of his fellow gnomes
4 year old: I like Blubby the Gnome because he has a funny hat on and he yells “Go away” to the other gnomes. Hee hee! 19 year old superfan of the gnome show: Okay First Of All Same fan, writing on their blog later: and you know what? I had a great talk with that kid. I guess I really made her see the error of her ways? It’s just not right that young people are walking around with a positive impression of Bl-b-y the G-o-me’s conduct to his fellow gnomes
“The show’s big problem is that Grundy’s in it way too much. He’s in every episode and it’s like nothing happens in the garden unless Grundy the Gnome and his friends are around. And why do all the other characters look up to Grundy? OK, he’s ‘kind’ and ‘nice’ but he keeps making decisions based on ‘what would my father, Mr Grumbly the Old Gnome, do’ instead of considering the overarching power structures and the problematic hierarchical position of the Old Gnome. His social analysis is faulty – ‘Gnomes should just be nice to each other’ and ‘Let’s be kind’??! (liberal lol) as we saw when he released the Wicked Spider from the matchbox despite her long record of problematic remarks and abusive behaviour. wow I’m just so done with ‘Grundy the Gnome and Friends’” #grundycritical
Just for once I’d like to tell the gate agents and flight attendants that my folding wheelchair is going into the onboard closet and not have them tell me there’s “no room”. Bitch that’s a wheelchair closet, not a “your bags” closet. Move your damn bags where they belong.
Ok, so according to my friendly aviation expert, this is a Big Fucking Deal. In fact, if an airline argues with you about putting your wheelchair in the wheelchair closet or even suggests there may not be room, unless there is already anotherpassenger’swheelchair in that closet, they have violatedfederallaw.
CFR Title 14, Chapter II, Subchapter D, Part 382, Subpart E, Section 382.67, Subsection (e)
“As a carrier, you must never request or suggest that a passenger not stow his or her wheelchair in the cabin to accommodate other passengers (e.g., informing a passenger that stowing his or her wheelchair in the cabin will require other passengers to be removed from the flight), or for any other non-safety related reason (e.g., that it is easier for the carrier if the wheelchair is stowed in the cargo compartment).”
This is hugely important because it means that if this happens to you, you should report their asses to the DOT. Why? Because these statistics are published every year for every airline, and the airline gets a huge ass fine for every violation. If we want to see change, we need to make airlines literally pay every time they treat us this way.
In the near future, you are making dinner because you are about to meet your girlfriend’s dad for the first time. All you have in the kitchen is cooked frozen steaks. In walks your girlfriend and her dad, Gordon Ramsey.
