Omg! Did u see? It only took me over two years to bring this zine into reality!

Honestly, I’m so relieved I finally did finish this and released it. I’m looking forward to moving on to the next issue and a new project. I’m tired! But I’m proud I finished it and didn’t scrap it or give up on the series.

I’m constantly needing to remind myself that I’m disabled, and I’m living in a world where quite literally *everything* is more difficult for me because of that. There have been no spoons in my drawer for a long time, but I scraped together what I could to publish this issue. If that’s not very on topic, I don’t know what is lol

Both the PDF and physical listings are up on my site now! And an announcement will follow soon(ish) for open submissions for issue 18: Body Mods as Transformation.

I would dearly love for more people to be capable of differentiating between public risk and personal risk.

Examples: drinking is a personal risk. Drinking and driving is a public risk. Going scuba diving is a personal risk. Running a scuba shop with faulty equipment is a public risk. Riding a bicycle without a helmet is a personal risk. Not maintaining public transport safety standards is a public risk. Foraging for mushrooms is a personal risk. Advertising a mushroom identification app that uses shoddy AI is a public risk. Elective surgery is a personal risk. Not wearing a mask in a doctor's waiting room when you are sick with a contagious illness is a public risk.

I could go on just about forever here. But it's a really important distinction and it drives me nuts when they get conflated, and it's so common.

Free Superstition Zine!! (When All Else Fails)

Hey everyone! I made a zine for one of my classes and it was really fun. I compiled a bunch of superstitions and their origins, so if you find that stuff interesting, or just want a free zine to print out, here you go!

not that anyone asked me in particular, but since theres worry about tumblrs lifespan, i think itd be cool if people made zines of their favorite posts and such. Even if things end up all good, you could have a little book of your favorite ones for when you're bored or cant get online or something. Just a random idea :]

“Normal” test results are not the relief people think they are. When you wake up in pain and continue to be in pain for hours every day and your tests come back normal you don’t stop being in pain.

Shoutout to the “gross” disabled people.

Shoutout to my homies who puke

Shoutout to my homies with ostomies

Shoutout to my homies with catheters

Shoutout to my homies who drool

Shoutout to my homies with facial disfigurements/differences

Shoutout to my homies in diapers

Shoutout to my homies who struggle with personal hygiene

Shoutout to every disabled person who’s ever been called “gross”

Y’all are beautiful and perfect the way you are. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty

"quick meal for when you're low on spoons!" *involves chopping vegetables* *uses a stove* *includes condiments* *involves letting something set/rest/simmer* *requires multiple kitchen items that will need to be washed* *estimated prep time: 30–45 minutes*

Hello hormonally intersex people, I'm here to kill the imposter syndrome demon in your head. Hypoandrogenism and hyperandrogenism are both enough to make a person intersex. And perisex children don't get put on hormones to correct their sex trait development. That only happens to intersex children.

You need to know that a doctor will almost never call you intersex, even if you straight-up have ambiguous genitalia, ovotestes, tits, and a penis, the doctor will tell you that you have a disorder, a syndrome, a deficiency, an excess, an abnormality. Never that you're intersex. You'll be told you're something wrong not that you are something else. The perisex medical establishment wants to separate us and deny we exist. Don't forget that, ok?

Do I understand the importance of child safety locks on medication caps? Yes.

Is it also a unique kinda fucked that the cap on my arthritis medication is VERY difficult to open? Also yes.
