I’d just like to add, see how they behave when they’re angry/frustrated/exhausted, and if you see something that concerns you, wait until they’re calm, and then talk to them about it.
My husband used to yell when he got frustrated, but after I explained to him that I found it upsetting, he stopped yelling and started consciously working on asking for help before he got to that level of frustration.
When I’m upset over something, or just in a bad mood, I tend to withdraw. My husband explained to me that it makes him feel like I’m mad at him, so now when I need some space, I’ll tell him what I’m upset about, or that I’m in a bad mood for no particular reason, and I need to be alone for a little while.
See your friends and partners at their worst, but don’t assume that their worst is immutable. If someone loves and cares about you, they’ll try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.
By law, it should be
REQUIRED to have wheelchair ramps at every door
REQUIRED to have elevators in every building
REQUIRED to have braille on every sign
REQUIRED to have auditory options for every text
REQUIRED for children to learn d/Deaf standard sign language in school
REQUIRED that everyone learn how to do CPR and how to detect a stroke
REQUIRED that areas with strobe/flashing lights have proper warnings
Stop calling it disability “friendly” or “accessible”. Start calling it the fucking standard.
funny how when a “straight” person finds themselves surrounded by a bunch of gay and lesbian and bisexual friends they often end up realizing they aren’t straight it’s almost like heteronormativity and being surrounded by heteronormativity keeps people in the closet and being in an environment where gay love is more normalized allows people to connect with parts of themselves they otherwise probably wouldn’t be able to
It’s totally cool how the official White House twitter is pushing white nationalist talking points.
important to note that this isn’t even being disguised as anti-illegal immigration.
the white house is taking a stance against LEGAL immigration here. their infographic says “admitted to the US”. it’s blatant racism.
