I've always had a hard time finding the ponies, but the LPS I've found tons of stock of in every toy/"nerdy" shop I've been into in the past few months. interesting, I have not seen any! 3

I hope that BF sees how popular the MLP products have been and go with releasing Baby Ponies or even the Flutters.
I really didn't love the Original 6 ponies in the first place as a child, I liked the mid-years. Now we have what, 4 re-releases of them? Too many to keep track of! We thought Cotton Candy was the OG "too many of her" pony... yeah... 5

I completely agree! If people would just stop creating obstacles and barriers for others. Find out what people need to succeed and support them with that! And access to these supports is totally vital. I also struggle with navigation - my husband gets so angry when he tells me to turn left and somehow I turn right! LOL Definitely don't tell me to go east/west/north/south or we will never get to the destination! Say, "Turn left at the McDonalds" or "see that big tree, the NEXT street, go there" My grandma had this problem too - she would enter the highway going the wrong direction and end up in a different state and have to find an exit ramp and turn around... 6

Ableist language and actions really bother me because it really puts self-created limits on what people think they can do. It's like the Down Syndrome awareness PSA : "if you think I can't ______,, then you don't treat me like I can ______, and then I don't ______."
I know quite a few people who could probably be quite self-sufficient, contribute to the workforce, and be more independent, but it doesn't fit their family and support providers' narratives and definitions, so they think they can't work or shouldn't work. To the best of your ability, I say! If you need supports, then by all means, use them, but don't opt out of doing things "because you can't (because you believed someone telling you that)". Technology advances all the time - if there are now mechanized suits (like in anime), you can walk and lift and exercise! Japan has several cafes that have robots that are operated by paraplegic people at home, using special headsets that connect directly to their brains . if you need a service animal to help detect if you're going to have a medical episode, that's totally fine. if you need a communication device/speech board/etc. , that's no different than the millions of other humans who can't get their face out of their phone LOL It's no reason to opt out of society, hide yourself away, and be lonely. 7

This is a week in which I feel like my family's taxi driver.
Everyone has errands and appointments and I am still the only one who can drive... 8

I think it's because of the marketing. In NAmerica, it was "I'm a MLP Mommy!" and "I want to collect them all!" So we got Mommy Charms. I would guess they just shifted that to UK terms? Anyway there are a few ponies in the petite line that would have made cool G1 in full size 10

*huggles to everyone who needs them or wants them*
why can my house never stay clean? it always looks like a hoarder's nightmare. i shouldn't say that on the internet but... it's so discouraging. laundry always needs to be washed, folded, or put away. or mended! Dishes are always clean and in the dishwasher, or dirty on the counter, or too delicate or dirty for the dishwasher. the plastic containers always need their lids matched. spring is coming so all the jackets and coats and gloves and hats need to be washed, mended, sorted, stored! my doll collection is strewn through the whole porch and looks like it has been ransacked by dollhouse thieves. i read at least one book a day but the stacks of books to read have spilled from the bathroom, to the pantry, and now are filling up a corner of the living room! piles of fabric and mending regularly fall over and cover other things.... I had a nightmare last night about moving into a historical mansion that had become a hoarder zone and the most terrifying part of the dream was that I just moved my own stuff into the disaster. I didn't even start picking up and organizing the previous owner's stuff... I just started putting my things on top of it! stuff like the water had been turned off, and so now the sinks were full of books and knick-knacks, and I was like *shrug ok I can't put my t-shirts in here, I'll just keep them in the box that needs to go under the ladder which I have to move a chair to get to* literally i woke up panicking... 13

I have a dreamy brain cloud that has something to do with a collecting binder/scrapbook but I haven't had time to really do anything about it...
