    Absolutely no joke I would watch this all the way through.

    The biggest complaint about Hallmark is how they lack creativity and every plot is the same. I feel like the missing piece to their formula is absurdism. Like a love child between the princess switch 2: switched again meets sharknado.

    I work in an accessibility-focused field and can say person-first verbiage is more important for those with visible/ serious conditions that society tends to focus on over them as a person.

    The spirit is that you view them as a person, instead of a their condition. It might seem obvious, but imagine you have a very visible physical disability. People are always talking about your condition, asking you about it, it’s the first thing people focus on when they meet you. As a person, you don’t want your condition to define who you are. As an example, if you worked really hard to win a major award, would you prefer the headline “First Name Last Name Wins Award”, or “Severely Autistic Person Wins Award”?

    It’s fairly nuanced, and within some groups (such as ASD) there is actually pushback against person-first. But then there’s people that it really helps so it’s more of a “just be chill and not a dick about things” kind of vibe. Kind of like pronouns where some people make a huge fuss whenever they’re mentioned. In reality, it’s more about just treating people with respect as well as not walking on eggshells around everyone.
