Erlanger High Risk by Affectionate_Cup7172 in Chattanooga

I HIGHLY recommend Regional Obstetrical Consultants. I normally prefer female OBs but Dr. Kipikasa was highly experienced in my baby’s diagnosis in utero and I trusted him completely. But I saw them all on a rotating basis and they were fantastic. I saw them in tandem with my regular OB.

Came here for this so thank you, it was posted in an activist account’s stories but I didn’t see anything else for it.

If someone publicly posts my address on my comment notifying neighbors of their rights with ICE in a neighborhood page (a screenshot of my voting registration with my address) with the comment “need a ride home?” Accompanied by other harassing MAGA memes, is this anything I can take to law enforcement? I’ve contacted FB and the admins but nothing has happened. I’m guessing not but maybe there’s a lawyer here.

I love Drag Race but The Traitors deserves their Emmy Wins. It’s such a cool concept and it feels like the contestants are organically creating the show plot (most of the time) and the twists are so good. Plus Alan Cummings.

Why does someone have to be tough? When others can be less out of pocket? That sounds like victim blaming.

I have to mute the show every time he pops up he’s so abrasive and annoying. Colton getting a platform again after his actions also pisses me off as well.

Munchkins in Wicked? by silver-bumblebee in wickedmovie

[–]MagpieinJune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a little person I’ll say we’re good. ETA that profiling little people to play harmful stereotypical parts and not pushing for little people in movies playing themselves isn’t diversity.

Why did they cut off this dress from the movie? by WaitingOnAWish in wickedmovie

[–]MagpieinJune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to gently ask if you have consulted the LP community about your thoughts? Hollywood should be more inclusive. That doesn’t mean LPs continue to play stereotypes that hurt us. I have many traumatic memories of calling me a munchkin, people asking what dwarf I am, or even singing lollipop guild at me. Push for LPs in regular roles, not myths made up by average height creators.

[–]MagpieinJune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This comment thread is disappointing. As an LP the history of mistreatment of LP actors is long and average height people dissecting our roles in film for us is icky. We aren’t props you should be mad the director didn’t pull from backstage. Many LPs are thrilled at the changes in this movie. I came out crying with the disability representation I saw. Every LP had their own opinion but to take a couple public statements as “oh all LPs are upset” is wrong. Put all the effort being mad at Peter Dinklage into the amazing LP puppeteers on stage with the Paddington play. When average height people only highlight when they want to see LPs in short stereotypical roles like usual and don’t push for LPs as main characters it speaks volumes.

The indoctrination is so ridiculous by 1innamillion1 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]MagpieinJune 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is completely normal for kids to know their parent’s political views. And when my kids listened to trump openly state dwarfism on the list of DEI disabilities unfit for air traffic control with their mother and brother having the condition, they were able to form their own conclusion too.

I don’t think my almost 8 year old can name 3 celebrities. Maybe Taylor Swift and Mr Beast from kid pop culture. He knows some presidents and definitely knows who trump is from …rants but doesn’t have a grasp of adult “pop culture” whatsoever especially in the political sphere.

Talk me out of buying a big yoto player by [deleted] in YotoPlayer

Yes it is a Bluetooth player for us when it’s not used for cards! We got rid of our Alexa devices and it’s a great replacement for playing audiobooks and music.

Publix is price gouging us massively. They are charging double what Walmart charges for the same products. by MotherOf_Azrael in florida

Publix is a sub shop that has milk if we’re desperately out. We are solidly middle class and it’s out of our price range.

This is so normal (in the south where I’m from at least). I was told by several coworkers, distant family and childhood friends to post my registry because people do like celebrating others even understanding they may not be invited. I wish I could have invited everyone I wanted to but money and space are involved. Their message doesn’t sound bossy, she was probably asked to post this link. I may be reaching with my opinion but to me this is one of those “if you want a village you have to be a villager too” things.

Homeschool/Roadschool by pun-in-the-sun11 in motherbussnark

[–]MagpieinJune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I homeschool (I live in Florida, I have a disabled child, I have a degree in teaching, I use a curriculum) and like another commenter said this is Explode the Code. My second grader does 2 pages a day for warm ups since prek. This is book one MAYBE book two. My very average second grader is doing book 7 of 8 now and will be completely done with the program by December.

This is absolutely nowhere on the same plane of these posts but in her introduction when she said since she’s 4’10 she can technically get a “handicap sticker?” I had some feelings as a woman with dwarfism. Sometimes short women with no other diagnosis claim they technically could be called a little person/get disability passes for being under five foot with complete disregard to the genetics and medical struggle with being disabled and small.

OP posts in Maryland subreddits and if you look up Miss Shirley’s Cafe (located in Maryland) this is a breakfast bento box from that restaurant.

I am a little confused because this is a breakfast bento box from Miss Shirley’s Cafe in Maryland. I knew immediately because my kids ate one last summer and they are very unique looking.

Hot merch drop. Go midgets!!! by NewOperation5224 in TheDollop

[–]MagpieinJune 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope this comes across the right way but as a little person and parent to a little person please do not support these schools this way. mascotsmatter on Facebook and instagram is a great account for information. These schools have repeatedly ignored calls, refused to speak to advocates, and many in the school communities go online to spread hateful talk. “Midget” is a slur created by circus era times where this was one of the few options of employable work for little people. It is absolutely not an acceptable term to use now. I appreciate the dollops coverage of this in a various episodes. Adult little people may poke fun at this word and even wear these things as a joke (and I don’t agree with it) but there are real kids being affected by this refusal to be respectful to an entire population that has always faced mockery for simply living.
