You know what? You know what I think?
I think that if we lived as we were meant to, in larger intimate ("extended family") groups and with more shared labor and time to do it (UBI NOW) people like me would not feel so useless and burdensome because there would be people around to help and to do what neurodivergent people can't while making valuable space for the neurodivergent to do what they ARE good at.
The way we live right now, all right, the way we live right now forces units of two adults to be able to do EVERYTHING or PAY to have someone come do it for them. I have to do the housework. I have to do it! But I am having to do a million different things and most of them I am not good at. I suck at them.
I wouldn't feel like shit, okay, if I had more than one other person around who was not a child and who could do the things I can't, like do the yard and cook and do repairs and basic maintenance; and someone else to split everything else that I like but is too much for me. It would free me to do what I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning, as in the sink and toilet, the windows, the blinds. Taking out trash. Folding, hanging, and sorting laundry.
But because all the shit I can do often relies on other shit being done first, and I can't do or have trouble doing those things, the shit I can do often can't be done. And even the shit I can do, I can't do ALL of it. So I can't keep up, and things get very bad.
We aren't meant to live like this. We are not meant to live like this.
That thought hurts so much because being able to flee the birth family is integral to survival for so many people. I'm so afraid that living in larger family groups would create more opportunities for, say, queer kids to be isolated, rejected, bullied, and abused. But if we gave people enough money to survive, and stopped considering children the property of their parents with no system in place to help them escape bad situations except a system that is often just as bad, just different.
I'm aware that communes and collectives aren't all that successful and are kind of a joke. I don't mean that. I mean a fundamental shift to multigenerational families where taking in "strays" (which my family did) is also normalized so people escaping abuse into existing households was accepted, with these families centered in maybe a couple of different larger residences so not everyone has to buy and maintain their own fucking washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and so people can benefit from large group meals that yield leftovers, and so child and elder care can also be centralized.
Then disabled people and the neurodivergent and sick and injured people, and pregnant people, and grieving people, would not have to either labor through all those stressors or consign themselves to living off an unlivable pittance or being put under legal guardianship.
I'm not saying anything new. People live like this in other parts of the world and maybe it sucks and I am wrong. But I'm just really mad right now because I can either do laundry or clean the sink but not both, and I really think we could improve society somewhat by making it so I did not have to choose one without sacrificing the other.
#im feverish feeling (not a real fever just malaise that i have no other way to describe) from the IBS (which can affect you like that#)#and i don't actually want to do ANYTHING#i would have to even living with others but it would be easier#at the very least i wouldn't have had to clean the microwave earlier which is hard because my arms are like the size of a meerkat's#and i can only reach the back with my fingertips#where is my BF in all this?#WORKING FULL TIME WITH BACK PAIN#yes i AM going to want him to have to do as little as possible when he comes home#he's neurodivergent too and struggles with the same shit#it's all a mess#we are doing way better i didn't realize how deep a drain three very sick cats were#but there's still only two of us#if you are disabled physically OR MENTALLY you should at least get in-home household help once a week or so#there's places that do that but the limitations are usually severe and always rule me out#because im not single im not an elder im not a veteran and im not physically disabled#if we have to ration that sort of thing i can see how on the whole it is more caring to allocate those resources to for example elders#but the fact that i celebrate what help there is doesn't mean i don't get mad that more people can't access it#is2g if i was functional enough snd physically sound enough i would start a charity that did intervention cleaning for people like us#who have fallen behind and can't catch up but can MAINTAIN#and who helped people clean for a few months during and after an illness pregnancy trauma major loss etc. so they could stay on their feet

on god im always excited when ppl get into my interests but the sole exception is sonic the hedgehog Then im monitoring you extremely closely and any mistake can mean instant block. IT GETS SERIOUS
#anyway i just blocked a mutual of like a year on twt bc they got into sonic from sonic 3 and then immediately started shipping son/adow#and Okay. IS IT PETTY TO BLOCK SOMEONE OVER A SHIP. yeah probably.#but time and time again ive seen new sonic fans that always like son/adow#always say the most fucking egregious shit about the series bc they dont know SHIT from FUCK about the games#also son/adow fans are the number one offenders of mischaracterizing the characters and no thats not hyperbole. its actually unbelievable#listen i can be friends with someone who likes son/adow. Sometimes. if theyre chill.#but as a Seasoned Sonic Veteran (has been playing the games since i could pick up a controller)#i need to spare myself the grief of seeing bad sonic takes on my timeline#i can handle people liking things i dont like but im so cagey about sonic i get genuinely heated about bad takes#from people who are just ignorant and dont play any of the games and just read idw and watch the movies#like holy shit pick up a controller or watch a playthrough what is wrong with you#literally when sonic 2 came out i became mutuals with this person#and they did a “hottest sonic character” poll AND TAILS WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS#and when they were getting dogged on they said “oh i just watched the movies i didnt know he was eight” BROTHER.#i cant trust new sonic fans bro. ESPECIALLY NOT ONES WHO CAME FROM THE MOVIES seriously im watching yall.#anyway if youre wondering what any of that has to do with the ship thinking sonic and shadow would be in a relationship is inherently wrong#sorry.#does this sound elitist idk maybe but idc im just sick of these ppl#ok heated rant over#txt

Happy 11/11 everyone!!!
Tumblr media
It's 11-11-24 today!!!
First, thank you to all veterans who have put their lives into protecting us. We love you all so dearly and thank you for your service. Without you, I am unsure of how our lives would be today.
Secondly, as today is quite literally an angel number, I will put a lot of effort into shifting today.
I woke up unable to breathe and couldn't stop coughing, so any of my plans for the day were put on hold as I rested to get back to my original self.
So now I sit here typing this while cuddled into soft blankets and plushies with some subliminals playing in the background.
I will be finishing my MPHFPC script while watching the movie and rereading some of the books, I am making a big change to my script which I am excited about so hopefully I can keep my motivation up!
I hope all of you have a lovely day and happy shifting to you all <3

Finally finishing the first Elric of Melniboné book, and I have made some notes on how disability is treated in it. Surprisingly, not as bad as I would have expected, which is cool.

I wasn't made aware of this update until I saw posts about it on here because god forbid they give a notification when there's a big update like... getting rid of activities, groups... EVEN THE EDITOR CHAT.
BRO. I used that shit to take notes about my stuff. Why would you get RID OF THAT.
I don't know if the comments are safe from the purge but if not you guys are going to have to communicate there lmao (I say 'you guys' because I don't have people to talk to on Quotev anymore, which doesn't matter to me).
Anyway, I'm moving to Ao3 to write my stuff. If you can't tell, this Tumblr account isn't new at all, so is my Ao3 account. Honestly, writing there makes me feel more professional for no reason.
Oh Food Jesus... I'll miss ya buddy.
Hello to everyone else who's migrating to Tumblr like a flock of birds. Hello, fellow birds (because my name's Crow ahahaha... ha... I'm not sorry).

You cannot resist the whole of the military industrial complex, especially the US American sector, without holding compassion and sympathy for veterans.
#sentences that would explode too many young left leaning but deeply conservative pilled people on the spot#ignoring and silencing the 'undesirable leftovers' of war is 100% in alignment with the military's recruitment goals#the majority of vets are anti war and are the ones who warn us of the dangers and militant tactics best#and those who are pro war still deserve to be heard and kept safe for themselves and others JUST AS MUCH as the anti war vets#bc honestly there's pieces of how military propaganda works that you will not learn from those who it didn't work on (drafted or family#pressures made them enlist moreso than the actual messaging) and those who broke free of it#why does it take hold of folks? how does it keep them entrenched and loyal to the military cause? you can only really#learn those intricacies by respectfully observing and listening. not silencing.#it's hard to help people you disagree with on such a serious issue live safely and in peace but you have to. and you have to understand#that they were made to suffer by someone given inordinate amounts of authority and the goal to train to kill. the training alone has been#enough to send more recruits home with PTSD than you think. they're all sick and have been taken advantage of. yes even the assholes.#it does not require forgiveness nor agreement to learn from and to respect veterans#they've gone through something horrific and that's just what the complex wants. to throw them away. do Not help make throwing human#life away any easier for them.#my text posts

true oh my god the tcc wants him to be an evil child rapist so badly and i do not get why. i’m convinced none of you give a damn about anything the guy said like ever you just wanna appear as edgy as possible LOL. if i see one more person bring up the “i’m attracted to teenaged girls” thing as an argument ‘proving his pedophilic attraction’ i’m going to bomb an orphanage because he literally says like, seconds later he doesn’t wanna fuck them, he just wants to BE them. he wants to be like them. BECAUSE HE WAS ANOREXIC
i hate when
people paint adam lanza to be some pro anorexic pedophile. He had started off his opinions on pedophilia with "I am not a pedophile". what part of that do people not get?
sure this will be a rant, but either way, he only defended it which does not make him a pedophile. nothing proves he himself was a pedophile and he mentioned before he wasn't. He had mentioned before on fuckcomments (which, before you say its not him actually do research), someone will find you beautiful no matter what weight you are.
"fuckcomments 4 years ago: A woman’s weight has NOTHING to do with her beauty. Sorry that is something they don’t teach. If you are under 300 pounds, you are attractive to someone, if you are over 300 pounds you are attractive to someone out there, who is probably 300 pounds as well or maybe not even! So what. Just be healthy. There is someone out there for everybody no matter what they look like. Eating poorly makes someone feel like dying, regardless of their mental disorder."
his 30 reasons were taken from a tumblr meanspo thing.
Proof on fuckcomments-https://archive.is/SZtXz
Just look up an archive of CulturalPhilistine on reddit. Let's stop making adam a rapist pedophile. We don't even know if he was a pedophile and he would not rape an adult or a kid. No, he'd not follow people around stalking them. He was more of an online guy for that. It's not that hard to do research.
He would not hurt his partner, make fun of them in anyway. In his YouTube channel, "CulturalPhilistine" he mentions he'd care for his partner. He also said he wanted to die with his partner, suffer with his partner, cuddle with his partner and care for them. He would not abuse his partner.
