General rant: Peace And Love™️ mfs piss me off. Every time I hear one I either coddling a bigot, coddling an abuser, or coddling someone who’s not at that extent yet but is just a dickhead online and refuses to take responsibility I lose some of my stamina. Look, now I’m finally talking like Avalon. Pretty cool, huh? But anyways. Stop protecting jackasses online from the backlash they deserve just cuz you love and peace and hippie. It’s annoying. You don’t need to woobify and cradle bad people like that. Stop pretending like people can’t be pissed and that they’re not allowed to call that person something that is insulting but is actually true. If the person thinks they’re grown and wanna do grown people shit like being an asshole, let them deal with the people who don’t like assholes. I’m talking to the people who coddle really bad people, by the way. Because it’s way too common. Like a literal homophobe or racist or something. And at the very vey least, if it’s not that and the person just keeps making hate mobs and false accusations and drumming up random hatred signaled towards a specific person who didn’t do anything, you still need to stop babying them and making all the excuses you can come up with out your ass. It’s embarrassing. Allow the backlash that is warranted and valid to be said. Stop shielding all of it and giving the mf a baby bottle. They made the choice. Let them deal with it.

Help Me Get New Mobility Aids!!!

Happy Disability Pride Month! I initially wasnt going to make a post to try to get new mobility aids/tools, but I really need them, so what the hell.

I am a multiply disabled Black lesbian and I have been without proper supportive mobility since the start of the pandemic. I had many of my things broken or thrown away during this time period, and I thought I could go without but its been so long and I really cant anymore.

I need smart/ergonomic forearm crutches because regular forearm crutches wreck my fragile hypermobile wrists, I need braces for both legs and ankles, a shower bench and detachable showerhead. All of this combined is a bit over $550.

I REALLY need this, esp the crutches! My mobility and bodily autonomy would be GREATLY increased If I was able to get these items. I

CA: $sleepyhen

VN: wildwotko

Dm for P@ypal

TLDR?: Disabled Black Lesbian needs new mobility aids for increased mobility and autonomy.

reminder that anyone telling you not to vote is either an idiot or trying to strip away your rights 😊

[insomniac-dormouse]

They totally know what they’re doing!

Found this on YouTube and wanted to share here (sorry for the choppy editing, I'm relying on screenshots)

I am at a loss for words.

I am devastated, I am scared, and I am angry.

I am so unbelievably angry.

I didn’t know I was capable of feeling this much unbridled rage.

I feel so unbelievably stupid for believing that a woman would ever be voted into the oval office.

Let alone a strong, charismatic, educated black woman.

Who has been the best candidate this country’s had in a long time.

But you proved me wrong America.

You showed me that you value racism and misogyny over human rights and economic security.

It took less than a day for his supporters to create a new slogan to belittle and dehumanize women.

“your body, my choice”

You showed me that in my own country, I don’t matter.

I am not worth anything.

So, congratulations.

You won.

For now.

I would just like to let everyone who voted for him or refused to vote know some things.

When your taxes, your groceries, your housing, and everything else goes up. I don’t want to hear a single complaint from you.

When you can’t afford to send your kids to school because the entire education system has been privatized. Learn how to home school.

When you can no longer afford to retire in 5+ years because the cost of living is too high. Deal with it.

When divorce rates skyrocket and the 4B movement popularizes in the country. Go jerk it to your orange messiah.

When you’re alone because your family and friends cut you off. Good.

I am not doing anything for any of you.

This was the last straw.

You want to dehumanize me and every other girl in this country?

Take away my rights, my friends’ rights, my sister’s rights, my cousins’ rights, her rights?

You will get no sympathy from me.

No help.

No support.

No shoulder to cry on.

Nothing.

You wanted shit.

Now you can eat it.

As for everyone else, I’ve still got your back.

I am still in your corner.

I will continue to fight for myself and you.

As long as I draw breath on this earth, you have someone out there who cares about you.

Who will continue to fight for your human rights.

This is far from over.

Stay safe, and take care of yourselves 🫶

This reminds me of how some people keep fearmongering about rising rates of diagnoses of autism, adhd, etc. in student populations *as if it's a bad thing that these things are being diagnosed.* Just because there's a higher recognized occurrence of something happening (like transgender people diagnosed with ocd, autism, etc.) in a given circumstance doesn't mean that that circumstance causes that thing, anymore than there's anything more going on in modern diagnosis rates of autism, adhd, etc. beyond better and more widely implemented diagnostic tools.

On a related note, I'm tired of people acting as if people with diagnosed psychiatric, mental, or diagnostic disorders are unable to make appropriate decisions regarding their own bodily autonomy, up to and including gender transitioning. This is something that happens across the medical spectrum when it comes to psychiatric and developmental disorders, as if being neurodivergent means that you're unable to understand or do anything that is right for yourself, and I am *sick* of it.

something that should be taken with a grain of salt are the statistics talking about the high rates of mental illness + neurodivergence among trans people (ocd, bpd, adhd, autism, etc)

I see both sides of the political spectrum taking these studies at face value - conservatives say we're broken, and trans people try to come up with reasons why for example autism + gender dysphoria makes sense and why one of them feeds into another

at the end of the day you have to remember that we're the one category of people on this planet who are legally required to go see a psychiatrist in order to receive non-psychiatric medication and surgeries.

more trans people are in therapy by law than any other demographic of people, and as a result, this captures more comorbidities.

if I had to look at my own family & rates of mental illness?

mom, dad, 2 maternal aunts, maternal grandmother, paternal grandmother, sister, sibling, and me all have OCD.

7/9 of them are cishet, never been to therapy, never diagnosed. 2/9 are trans, required therapy for hormone treatment, and were diagnosed.

you don't have to do any math to just see that the resulting statistics end up intensely skewed.

and we can think back to how autism was virtually never diagnosed more than 50 years ago - ruling out any grandparents being included in statistics - and even my parents' generation (they're in their 60s now) wouldn't have been included either.

I don't think it's to anyone's benefit to accept these studies uncritically. a lot of these things are hereditary and far more prevalent in the overall population than people realize

alt text: 

Four hands are shown, each holding the wrist of another to create a square. The hands are labelled ‘trans people’, ‘fat people’, ‘disabled people’, and ‘POC’ (counter-clockwise from upper left.). The text in the space bwteen the hands reads ‘Any attraction felt towards us or by us is labelled as a fetish by people outside our communities who claim to be allies but in actuality just see us as somehow lesser and therefor undeserving of our own bodily and sexual autonomy’.

as a system of colour, I just want to set stuff straight about alter race.

alters can have different skin colours to the body, but that does not make them a different race than the body. skin colour is just part of someone's appearance while race has multiple factors to it such as culture.

being a poc is an experience that only someone who is bodily a poc will understand, hence why "alter race" is just impossible.

it's like how an adult alter in a minor bodied system will not have the same mentality as an actual adult since the brain only has the experience of a minor to base that alter off of.

also I know that I've been focusing on poc, but this applies to any race

Do you ever think about how Bashir saw every example of his exceptionalism as a reminder that his bodily autonomy was violated and his mind altered against his will, unable to truly excel if he wanted as this could be used against him but also constantly pressured by his parents and himself Be The Best™ or else what was it all for?

Do you ever think how this dynamic relates to him being an Arab man and how many POC have to work twice as hard to be recognised and still have their achievements devalued in the fragile face of white supremacy?

Do you think about how the ultimate fear of genetic augmentation is eugenics and the elimination of traits seen as undesirable under neurotypical str8 white supremacy? And the view of those who are unaltered as lower? And yet Bashir, a goofy, twinky, Autistic MOC who shows these traits very clearly, is seen as one of the only functional, successful augments? How instead of cold, inhuman amorality associated with augments (as Garak accuses him of) Bashir's morality is so so human - every line he skirts and boundary he crosses a desperate attempt to save lives and connect with other people? How he views himself as lower than everyone because of these augmentations and views any accolades as bittersweet, a reminder of the boy Jules who he feels he murdered to live?

Do you ever think about how Bashir constantly lives with the blinding, consuming fire of Kahn noonien-singh above him, unaware he is the gentle shadow at his feet?

Do you ever think about the emotional rollercoaster of Julian Bashir and want to give him a hug?

Or do you only think of yourself?

Everything! Everything this man is saying is so damned true. If you are someone who willingly voted for Trump while knowing what he'll do once he gets in Office again.

Deeply FUCK YOU! If you're a person that refuses to vote against him and didn't do anything to stop him at all than FUCK YA'LL too.

If you are a Muslim or Latino or a Non-Black POC that supported and voted for Trump and are now worried about being deported and banned from the country, I really don't feel sorry for any of ya'll. Some of ya'll non-Black POC countine to showcase that ya'll will always choose White Supremacy and Whiteness at the end of the day while simultaneously voting against your own self interests while still being anti-Black as hell.

You won't get any sympathy from me whatsoever. Ya'll Fuckers wanted this so deal with it.

To the percentage of White Women who yet again let down Black Women & other Women of Color by voting for having less bodily anatomy and less rights than you're great great-grandmother, Ya'll don't deserve any sympathy neither.

Pro-Palestine people, FUCK OFF too. Ya'll are also full of bullshit and have showcased that ya'll truly don't give a Fuck about Palestinians or Gazans lives when you let a raging White supremacist like Trump who have said he'll let Netanyahu " Finish the Job", and will have no remorse or issues Nuking the hell out of both Gaza and Palestine altogether.

Ya'll aren't " activists " of any kind and have shown just how unserious, radicalized, brainwashed extremists ya'll truly are in terms of your so-called " Support ".

To the percentage of brain-dead Black men who also voted for this bastard, I rarely used the N-word in my vocabulary. But ya'll are truly some stupid-ass Nigg*s. You're character as a person is garbage and you are a disgrace to your grandparents and many other Black people of the Civil rights movement who fought and died for your fucking ass and this is how you repay them.

By voting for a White supremacist and beyond racist piece of shit. Ya'll Uncle Tom's or I should say Ruckuses don't deserve any sympathy neither.

The third-party voters and those who wasted their vote on Jill stein as a protest vote, ya'll are the stupidest group of people alive and FUCK ALL OF YA'LL as well.

I've seriously had enough of this shit. I'm tired and sick of being held hostage by the ignorant and stupid and hateful people of this damned country.

I'm just so fucking sick.

Ya'll won't get any sympathy from me if you actually wanted this man in power again or refused to actually vote against him during the election.

You've shown ya'll true characters and how horrible of people ya'll truly are.

Don't expect any sympathy or empathy towards you if you're the one who wanted this to happen.
