I really can’t bite my tongue any longer. This needs to be said. While scrolling through recent tumblr posts, my jaw dropped when I saw a post about the character Nan on AHS, with the caption: “Please lord Jesus, don’t make the retard the next supreme.” I saw this hours ago and I am still enraged and saddened by it. Before I educate you on how hurtful and cruel it is to use that word, I would like to inform you that this character has a NAME. Her name isn’t retard, it’s Nan. She is played by the incredible actress Jamie Brewer, who has had to overcome more than most of the petty, insignificant assholes who reblogged that post. Now that that’s cleared up, I would like to inform you that your disgusting LABEL of this character/actress is truly sickening. It is 2013 and people still think it’s okay to label someone with a disability as retarded? UNBELIEVABLE. Next, I would like to point out that a disability doesn’t DEFINE someone. They can accomplish just as much as someone without a disability, and they deserve the exact same amount of RESPECT that you would give someone who doesn’t a disability.
Some of you may not know this, but I am a student teacher who works with many children who have special needs. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t have these kids in my life. Their smile is infectious and their kind hearts fill me with happiness everyday. These children don’t have any prejudices, and they are respectful to everyone around them. It’s truly sad that people can’t treat them the same way they treat us!
So let me ask you a few questions. Why shouldn’t Nan be the next supreme? What has she done that makes her unworthy? Why doesn’t she deserve the title just as much as Zoe or Misty or Madison?
I am posting this beautiful picture of Jamie because she deserves to be recognized for her incredible talent and kind spirit. I would just like everyone to look past her disability and realize that she is just like you and me. The fact that she has down syndrome is completely irrelevant when discussing why someone should or shouldn’t be the next supreme. Please educate yourselves before posting such harmful things about people who did nothing to deserve it.
Couldn’t have said it better. Thank you for posting this.
The Cubli: a cube that can jump up, balance, and ‘walk’
–
The Cubli is a 15 × 15 × 15 cm cube that can jump up and balance on its corner. Reaction wheels mounted on three faces of the cube rotate at high angular velocities and then brake suddenly, causing the Cubli to jump up. Once the Cubli has almost reached the corner stand up position, controlled motor torques are applied to make it balance on its corner. In addition to balancing, the motor torques can also be used to achieve a controlled fall such that the Cubli can be commanded to fall in any arbitrary direction. Combining these three abilities — jumping up, balancing, and controlled falling — the Cubli is able to ‘walk’.

“I know she is proud. How not? What is left to her but pride? I know she is strong. How not? The Dothraki despise weakness. If Daenaerys had been weak, she would have perished with Viserys. I know she is fierce. Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen are proof enough of that. She has survived assassins and conspiracies and fell sorceries, grieved for a brother and a husband and a son, tro the cities of the slavers to dust beneath her dainty sandaled feet”
people who write gorgeous metaphors and make comparisons
and i’m like
“he walked forward and got there.”

Who sells their kid on ebay? That’s nuts.
That’s a child. A living being that you made.
That shit goes on etsy.
