can't change whats my main blog >:(

every post talking about the hate polyamory gets is always filled with comments of people being weirdly hateful but framing in a "just talking about my experiences" kinda way

“of course having a law that allows corporations to own the work of artists for a one time payment and then make millions off that work without paying the artist a cent is worse than having no law at all.” In a world without IP, wouldn’t the corporations just do the same thing but without even the one-time payment? Like, they own the means to profit off of creative content anyway, so isn’t making them at least pay for the idea better than nothing? Or is it more that it’s not worth the tradeoff of letting them abuse IP against smaller creators?

While we're on the subject of baked food, please tell me where you're from and what this is called.

As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing that’s been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my “wasted potential” is accepting that potential doesn’t exist and never did.

I had a similar experience when I changed my setup. A part of it is adjustment to a different posture. Another part of it is the separate keyboard is often higher and the mouse is bigger and you want to rest your arm on the table but the corners haven't been sanded and the surface is hard, and since you're actually trying to keep your shoulders relaxed, all the weight of your arms is going against the table. I had to buy a padded mousepad and extendable arm rest and a foam pad to rest my wrist near the keyboard. And I had to buy some sandpaper and actually sand down the table edge. And I still get back pain, of course, I sit on my table way too many hours every day. But the shoulder pain is manageable now.

I recommend two three things: a chair with good arm rests you can adjust to be level with the table, and a simple foam pad (literally just. Rectangle of foam with fabric on top) for your keyboard that lets your hands rest on something level with the keyboard. Those two things fix like. All pain from bad ergonomics issues for me.

Ok sanctimonious covid anon. I guess "sanctimonious" isn't great and yes shame is only one tactic that is not uniformly effective (but also not uniformly ineffective). When does this become a respectability politics issue with disabled people though? Idk, when the public health response is transparently eugenicist and many supposed fellow radicals don't care to mask (some cannot due to access but i promise plenty just dont Wanna) to stop chains of transmission for a still relatively novel airborne virus, is it the responsibility of disabled anticovid organizers to be super nice all the time during covid education, when even when we are, plenty of our supposed comrades don't mask with us and leave the onus of organizing accessible events all on us? Obviously not all your responsibility to shoulder lol, you just have an open askbox + what feels like disappointing covid minimization/denialism next to the rest of your politics or other elucidated points of view.

The thing with asking individuals to mask is that it doesn't protect anyone but themselves. 99/100 people on the train not masking presents the exact same risk profile to you as 100/100 not masking. And anon I simply don't give enough of a fuck about my own health to bother.

after a very heated argument i had with another trans guy about transmisogyny and what it is, i just wanna make clear on this account, because my stance on some things has changed since being more involved in the trans community and more specifically dating a tma person:

Hey uh I’m really short on money right now and hanging on by the 9 dollars I have to my name uh . Any help, even reblogs would be greatly appreciated please and thank you (I hate asking for help with money) 🥲

hey, op here! i seriously hate to do this, but my partner and i are homeless trans women and tbqh desperate beyond words. my health has been deteriorating really badly since last september, and now the nonprofit that helps us not just with hormones, but with other meds we literally need to live like gabapentin and albuterol. if you're seeing this and you can, please send some money our way. we need $260 for 90 days of meds for both of us, and we have no other way of getting that much money other than asking online. i've never had a post break like, 300 notes before, and i'm hoping that helps this get some attention. please help if you can, and reblog if you see this.
