jellowshipping my sillies

[detailed ID: a drawing of Lillie and Mallow, against a galaxy-style background with the text ‘Mallow is the girl that I wanna kiss’ handwritten above them. Lillie is on the left, and is a skinny pale skinned girl in a dress that’s just above knee length. The dress has an under layer with a scalloped hem and puff sleeves, as well as a collar, which is pale blue. It also has a top layer that is white with straight straps, similar to a pinafore dress. Lillie has waist-length blonde hair with fringe bangs, and two sections in the front bubble braided that sit infront of her dress. She has green eyes, and is looking slightly up at Mallow, as she is a little shorter. Lillie is standing with her right arm linked around Mallow’s left, left arm stretched and pointed downwards, and her right leg bent at the knee. Mallow, who’s on the right, is a slightly taller girl with tanned skin, and is a little chubbier. She has green hair and eyes, and her hair is tied into two waist length ponytails. She’s wearing a pink T-shirt, and blue short dungarees. There’s a gold and white clover like decoration on her dungarees at the waist on the left side. She’s wearing a darker green headband with a pink flower on it. Mallow is looking at Lillie, and standing with her left arm bent to hold onto Lillie’s arm, and her right arm by her side. The girls are both smiling at each other, and there’s a small heart drawn inbetween them. END ID]

little pet peeve of mine

I’m not a detransitioner. I’m boygirl, yes, but i’m still transmasculine??? i’m still going to get top surgery one day?? i’m still waiting very impatiently to see if i’ll be allowed on testosterone?? i’m a man, but also a woman, and i don’t get what’s so hard about that to *other queer people*

i’m not sorry for not fitting in your boxes of gender and i’m not sorry for dressing fem sometimes but still wanting to be referred to with he/him pronouns. i’m also not sorry for getting upset when you they/them me because i have my identity pretty clear. i have my pronouns displayed on my social media and i have pins on all my bags and on my uni lanyard. i use he/it/she, it’s not like you have no options if you don’t want to use any one of those sets.

please stop treating me like i detransitioned i’m still very trans and i’m not sure where the idea that going from binary to non binary trans is detransitioning came from???

anyone got any decoration ideas for my wheelchair specifically for cosplaying Isha? (arcane, kid that’s seen in S2 with Jinx. I’m cosplaying her with her blue hair)

I’m going to have the spikes on my push handles and that’s all I know I’m doing, I’ll already be taking fake vines (which i don’t feel is her vibe) and blue and green lights as I’m cosplaying Lynette that con too.

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.

"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.

"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.

"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?

"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.

If you hate trans men, I hope every woman you look up to in your life transitions into the happiest, hairiest, fattest trans men ever.

AO3 IS DOWN

[aetherial-boy]

also forgot about and am fed up with the ‘what’s wrong with your leg’ that i get with my cane

i forgot that the weird shit going on with my legs was that obvious and didbt actually notice it again until i saw myself in a full body mirror

[aetherial-boy]

it’s not even like i don’t walk 🥲 i’m mostly walking at home and i walk if what i’m doing dosent need more than about 15 minutes with my cane or an hour with my rollator i just overestimated tpday

[aetherial-boy]

thought uni would be easier with my cane bc i was in one room all day and it’s a BAD one to get to in my wheelchair, i was infact wrong and the consequences are pain and not being able to stop shaking

[aetherial-boy]

fuck me why do i overestimate my ability to walk

[aetherial-boy]

I feel like I have so much solidarity with fat people as a wheelchair user because we both take up more space than thin pedestrians and we both have people refuse to move for us when we need to get somewhere.

signs you need to get your tonsils taken out, apropos of watching someone experience every single severe "i need to get my tonsils out right the fuck NOW" symptom while also insisting they don't need to get their tonsils out:

you are known as a "bad swallower;" you frequently choke on pills

you get an uncommonly high number of respiratory illness (once a month or more)

when you get a minor respiratory illness like a cold, it consistently lasts for longer than a couple of days, and/or it frequently turns into ear or sinus infections

when you get a respiratory illness, you have difficulty breathing, especially or exclusively while lying down

every single respiratory illness you get feels like strep throat

kissing or making out with anyone causes you to come down with a mystery infection immediately after

you can see your tonsils when you look down your throat in the mirror

you are regularly hacking up tonsil stones (on a daily or weekly basis)

you snore loudly and it is not due to sleep apnea

none of these on their own are a guarantee you need to get your tonsils removed, but two or more in conjunction are a sign you need to be considering this possibility and contacting an ENT for assessment at your earliest convenience.

oh, and if your PCP says we "don't take tonsils out anymore," they're an idiot don't listen to them

peace and love from a bitch whose immunocompromisation was from my tonsils the whole damn time and who now post-tonsilectomy can kiss someone without coming down with a week-long infection immediately

chronic pain: hurts but i can deal, done it since i was young. usually bearable. sometimes popping my joints helps, sometimes it makes it worse, only one way to find out.

chronic fatigue: unfortunate but i can deal, i need to catch up on sleep anyway i guess. naps are great. not in class but naps are great.

chronic nausea: put a fucking gun to my head

You're not fucking cripple punk if you are are gonna be ableist towards severely disabled people. Take those stickers off your cane if you can’t treat powerchair users with speech issues and carers like we’re fucking human beings.

In fact in general if you’re going to treat severely disabled people and people with intellectual disabilities or higher support needs like shit then stay the fuck away from disability "activism" or "advocacy".
