kissing girls for a living

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I REALLY REALLY hope you guys realize neurodivieristy doesn’t just start and end up with Austim and ADHD

Like it’s great people are become aware! And learning more about this But it seems that people only pretend these are the only two and if you don’t have these two then I guess you don’t count??????

remember the rest of us and stick up for each other when we can

Literally lost this post and had to scroll way the fuck back down my dash to find it again and rb because I’m going to cry over it. Yes I know, I cry over everything these days, fuck off. I literally just started halfway coming out to people in my real life this week and this shit is fucking validating.

I don’t have a picture of them but Tash Sultana (they/them) is my favourite Nonbinary singer atm!!

This is lifting my soul

I saw Bex Taylor-Klaus and Jay Harper and my soul  a s c e n d e d

[ID: three images drawn by a_silent_child. The first is titled “When people talk about transition, I often see…”, showing a drawing of two people facing the viewer. The man on the left is thin, has light skin and a beard, and is neatly dressed in a button-down and jeans. Arrows point to him and say ‘binary trans man’ and ‘he/him pronouns’. The woman on the right is thin, has light skin and is wearing a pink dress. Arrows point to her and say ‘binary trans woman’ and ‘she/her pronouns’. Arrows point to both of them and say ‘had HRT’, ‘multiple surgeries’ and ‘cis passing’. Underneath it reads “And it’s not wrong. They are trans.” The second image is titled “But let’s get something clear…”, showing two people, one facing the viewer and the other looking to the left. The person on the right is fat, has dark skin, and is wearing a purple shirt that says ‘autistic & cute’ and galaxy-patterned leggings. Arrows point to him and say ‘likes to be called ‘cute’‘, ‘had top surgery’, ‘doesn’t want HRT’, and ‘socially transitioning’. A label reads ‘he is also trans’. The person on the left is thin, has brown skin, and is wearing a crop top and shorts. Arrows point to her and say ‘can’t afford HRT’, ‘socially transitioning’, ‘doesn’t like dresses’, and ‘likes having a penis’. A label reads ‘and her’. The third image shows three people, two looking towards the viewer and one looking to the left. The person on the right is thin, has light skin, and is wearing dark jeans with chains and a fishnet-style crop top that reads ‘happy thoughts’. Arrows point to zir and say ‘wants HRT’, ‘wants breasts’, and ‘not a woman’. A label reads ‘and zir’. The person in the middle has brown skin, is thin, is wearing a red jumper and blue jeans, and is using crutches. Arrows point to them and say ‘socially transitioned’, ‘uses they or fae pronouns’, and ‘not a woman’. A label points to fae and the person standing next to them and reads ‘and them too.’ The person on the left is fat, has brown skin, is wearing a floral-patterned yellow dress and has a beard. Arrows point to them and say ‘wants bottom surgery, but not top’, ‘feels pretty with a beard’, and ‘uses she or they pronouns’. End ID]

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who celebrates it!!

no more “ambiguously colored” characters. no more “suntanned skin” “golden skin” “warm honey peanut butter nutella sriracha condiment skin” it’s ok to say the words “dark” and “skin” in the same sentence. if you have to shove the two times “tanned skin” was mentioned down my throat to reach at POC representation, i will tell you that it is simply not enough. also stop with the freaking salad dressing skin colors. nobody writes white people as “ranch toned” or “egg colored” and it’s unfair POC have to sludge through pages of food descriptors just to feel good about a pinch of representation.

Writing With Color is a really awesome resource!

Please do not leave deaf, disabled, mentally ill, and autistic people out of your conversations about police brutality.

50% of all people killed by police have a disability.

And this is coupled with the fact that Black folks with these conditions/disabilities are way more likely to be seen as having “behavioral issues” or being “dangerous” or “noncompliant.”

so loving men isn't a curse. loving men isn't "unfortunate". loving men isn't a bad thing. yes, we can joke about how awful men can be, but it gets to a a point where this mentality can really hurt. it can really feed into you hating yourself for something you can't control. loving men is something special. loving yourself is just as beautiful.

another reminder that it's okay to love men. it's okay to be a man. it's okay to love men whilst being a man. loving men isn't sacrilege.

No doctor will ever get my respect like the woman in the ER who checked me for claws and fangs because I told her I was turning into a werewolf and could feel it and let me know gently that she couldn't find any but that didnt make it feel any less real, like THATS how you do it, other doctors who just flat out told me I was wrong take notes

This is how you treat us!

Can I just add that, if you like me have delusions where everything bad that happens is your fault, the doctor shouldn't be like "Yeah, you're probably right" but try to reason with you in a respective way. OP's doctor did it right, but some of the notes make it look like people think delusions must be agreed to always, when doing so can be detrimental to the person's wellbeing

the overwhelming grief of losing an entire year to sickness, violence and pandemic fatigue is settling in so id like to remind everyone that: you are not a failure, yes there is still a happy future for you, and wearing a mask is very sexy
