and then I think about all the films and movies with little people in them and unsurprisingly their bodies are used as props, as sites of horror and the creepy.
I honestly never even realise this until today. how crazy is it that there is this huge chunk of our population who have not only been dehumanised, but had their histories erased, been subjugated to violence... and it's so invisibilised. This erasure is so brutal.

Alright, I got banned from going live on #TIKTOK where I was reading my book and this time it was for "Hate Speech." Some say yes, some say no, & I need answers. Cause I didn't think it was a "slur", but some people say it is, and now I'm confused as all F*ck.
Please only answer if you have #dwarfism or have an immediate family member who has it.
IS #MIDGET A BAD WORD?

I need someone to do a sensitivity look for a model's proportions, specifically from someone with #achondroplasia. Please boost!

*Fantasy Dwarves and Dwarfism*
An interesting article from The Guardian about the use of dwarves in fantasy media and the casting of actors to play them.
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/dec/13/fantasy-dwarfism-problem
I watched the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, and Francesca Mills' character was one of the big draws despite only having a few seconds of screen time. The upbeat personality and slightly roguish smile sold me on the character.

Just watched the first two episodes of #Willow sequel and the original from 1988.
It makes me want to see more #dwarf #movies that's not set in #fantasy where they're a different race, discriminated, or mocked.
#KingdomOfBadassdom with #PeterDinklage is almost there in a way that his #dwarfism is just accepted as is.
I need more exposure to actors, actress, or anyone from this group!
