Personal headcannon accepted: Yemisi switches to Spanish when she gets really exasperated.
2023-09-20 19:19:25 +0000 UTCRandom: I had forgotten that Ayomide was the character's name, and was about to ask if you misspelled "Ayudame" (Spanish for "help me")...

2023-09-19 09:29:59 +0000 UTCA few people here are still operating out of what we in the disability space call the 'moral model' of disability. Such a model sees disability as a moral issue and I'm seeing words like 'responsibility' and 'ownership' being thrown around a lot. The moral model calls disability a punishment on the parents or the failings of the individual. This model is very old, across many cultures. It often excuses further punishment and "treatment" like the excesses of the Victorian era and of course eugenics. These days we operate in the 'social model' of disability, developed by the disabled in contrast to another model of disability, the 'medical model' of disability which sees the disabled as broken and needs to be 'fixed'. The social model sees disability as a construct of society made of barriers, that it was built for the abled, not the disabled and seeks to change that.

2023-09-19 07:10:24 +0000 UTCAyomide hasn't engaged _in_ any dumbass behavior since she got here, but I think a strong argument can be made that she has engaged _with_ some, given the way Dora decided to hire her.

2023-09-19 04:15:37 +0000 UTCAs someone with un/self-diagnosed ADHD, Yemisi lost many points with that "maybe on purpose". What one wants and what one does or does not do can be very different things.
