Idk one day I'll make a fuller post abt it but I've come to think of the "trans people were always trans" narrative as, like, actively harmful. First of all transness should be first and foremost about autonomy (I chose to be trans and I'm damn proud of it, thank you very much). But second of all it doesn't even make sense without a sort of quiet admission that gender is this real, essential quality, that someone has a gender from the moment they're born; I don't feel I need to explain why this is something we should not be throwing our weight behind.

Yes, precisely. You say I'm not a real woman? Well I say; neither are you!

shoutout to the slow artists. the artists with hardly any time for art. the artists who reach the end of the day with no energy for art. you got this i believe in you and you are no less valued than anyone else

to be clear. when i say artist i mean every kind of art. drawing writing music sculpting embroidery idc this post was for you and i am sending my love your way

there is no “normal ppl vs. narcissists” at a cosmic scale. you can’t divide humanity into “good” and “evil” and pretend like you just Did Something. that’s called ableism and eugenics and Christianity and it’s been done before

do NOT kill a bug loose in your home. do NOT release it outside. mail it to me P.O. box 453 in LA CA. i teach them circus tricks. if my training doesn’t work i will eat it

The United States has always been a terrible place to be sick and disabled. Ableism is baked into our myths of bootstrapping and self-reliance, in which health is virtue and illness is degeneracy. It is long past time for a bedrock shift, for all of us.

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

Because it is not mentioned by name in the article!:

If any of you develop “violent new food allergies” after having covid — even allergies that present as migraines, malaise, nausea, irritability rather than swelling and itching — you need to get checked for mast cell activation syndrome. It is staggeringly common to develop from long covid and is often treatable.

As soon as I can revive him from the dead the wedding is BACK ON !!!!

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
