A Random Bean Does Random Things

Truth is a god in the way that gravity or magnetism is a god. He's just a manifested force of nature. He's sapient on some level, sure, which is a neat trick, but we managed to make meat think and we're not extraordinarily special about it either. He didn't invent humans and he didn't spawn the universe the way that Rose would have expected the god of her religion to have done; he has minimal to no interest in the day to day lives of any creature and only intervenes when someone actively wanders into his grip of influence. He's not a Capital-G God. Truth is to matter what fire is to flammable objects. He's a metaphorical (and perhaps even allegorical) chemical reaction.

Ed isn't an atheist because he saw god and cussed him out irl; Ed's an atheist because he doesn't believe that the brute force of Truth qualifies as a god. Quite frankly, I think that's a hell of a lot ballsier and a much more complete understanding of the situation. This perspective insulates him against idolizing the Truth as an ultimate divine force and makes Truth something that can be reasoned around or through, rather than with, which would never have worked.

I love their work otherwise, but it hurts badly to hear them toss around casual intersexism in their videos constantly when discussing queer and trans issues and nobody ever mentions it.

Using us when it does fit an argument, but ignoring us entirely outside of that context, ex. Using intersex people existing to validate trans people existing, but never doing any sort of intersex advocacy unless it directly benefits/includes trans people as well

Erasing intersex issues while attempting to argue trans rights, ex. "No child is getting forced sex changes, that's not a thing that happens" (It doesn't happen to trans people, but happens all the time to intersex people)

Saying that sex is binary but gender isn't (Neither of them are binary)

Reducing intersex people down to cis people with disorders, ex. "Cis people without uteruses" or "Cis people with gynecomastia"

In addition to the above point, generally acting as if intersex people are not oppressed or as though we have it better than trans people do, often by calling us cis and disordered rather than intersex, ex. "Cis women with high testosterone levels are allowed in sports but trans people aren't" (Which is not even really a true statement) or by wishing that they were intersex or openly admitting to calling themselves intersex in their personal life in an attempt to avoid discrimination

Casual use of the word "Hermaphrodite"

Calling intersex animals trans/nonbinary

Ignoring blatant intersexism, never calling it out

Calling bills/laws or other issues which directly impact intersex people "trans bills" instead of "trans and intersex bills", such as the recent Kansas bill directly targeting intersex people being called a "trans bill" - making these bills aiming to exterminate intersex people solely about trans people and ignoring the bills' direct attack on intersex people

When these issues are brought up, saying that intersex people are "just caught in the crossfire/unfortunately affected by mistake but not intentionally, it's about trans people not intersex people"

Saying that intersex people are not LGBT/queer (Not all intersex people identify as queer, but we have always been part of queer community and should not be pushed out)

Reducing intersex people down to a statistic

Common misinformation, such as saying that being intersex means "being born with both parts"

i have made one new friend in person since graduating highschool in 2020. she is my housemate's girlfriend. she stays over frequently, and the only reason we are friends is because she stays over and we have shared university papers. i would not have had the opportunity to befriend her otherwise. that is in the space of three years.

i don't go out much. i cannot guarantee that i will leave my house within any given week. technically i have class i need to go to twice a week for an hour, but those moments aren't time for friends, they're time for classwork and i don't interact with people in a social capacity there.

i simply do not get the opportunity to meet people.

i cannot go out with friends and meet new people that way, because my social circle is already so small, and i don't have the energy to go out half the time anyway. when i do, i suffer for it later.

i don't meet people on campus because i'm immuno-compromised, and ableds seem to have forgotten that we are still in a pandemic.

i don't go to clubs or go out for the sake of going out because i can't. i've grown agoraphobic, because i am so worried that something health related will happen and i'll get stuck somewhere alone. i hate leaving the house because of the guarantee of an anxiety attack which leaves my body more likely to flare. it's a vicious cycle of isolation.

i am not the only one who has experienced this -- i can still leave the house, i can still go and visit friends with assistance. i struggle, but at the end of the day, it's still an option. there are others who are completely isolated.

the worst of it is that people leave. people get tired of the 'i can't come, i'm sorry', of the 'hey, i'm sick, can we postpone?'. even people who you love and hold dearly will stop trying. and it's awful. you have to sit and watch these people who you love walk away because they can't deal with your disability. i don't have words to describe how much that hurts.

However, and I can’t stress this enough, those few vague similarities does not change the differences. I still have able bodied privilege which makes it infinitely easier for me to go out and do things, makes clubs and activities more accessible. Low energy from depression is not the same as chronic pain or fatigue, it is also usually temporary and treatable rather than permanent.

something I find interesting about myself is that I would argue that I am both disabled and able-bodied, I will always argue having adhd and autism does make me disabled, but without a physical disability I am still able bodied and therefore have able bodied privilege.

Fandom Problem # 3972

I think the thing with a lot of online discourse is basically confirmation bias with extra steps.

Say I don't like something. A trope, a trend, a character, an actor, a show, a franchise, whatever. Don't have any real reason, just find it annoying, nothing that deep.

Here’s an example, I don’t like the colour orange, there’s nothing wrong with orange as a colour but equally there’s nothing wrong with me simply not liking it.

Important if your in an abusive situation you can turn off this alarm

Do you know at 3pm on 23rd of April 2023, a UK-wide test of an emergency alert system will take place on every mobile phone in the country? This loud alarm will sound on your phone and make it vibrate, even if it is switched to silent or notifications are off.

If you're living with domestic abuse and you have a mobile phone hidden in your house "just in case", please remember to switch it off on Sunday 23 April 2023. Your hidden phone must be switched off completely during this time to avoid discovery.

• Even if this post doesn't apply to you, please support/share/repost.

• You will be connected to someone who is living with domestic abuse right now, even if you think you're not.

So like any rational person I went on an epic quest through tumblr to find it

Y/N: 

Y/N: What?

So I would like to do an experiment: setting a completely impossible goal for an incredibly dumbass reason that no one would want. Just to see if it's a meme or do people only spam things that they want to see happening?

Here's the experiment~

3000 notes within one week and I'll post my creative writing here on tumblr.

Goodluck bitches.

Fuck it.

This post is now serious. Still to the same goal. You have until 11.8 (3 days from now) at midnight to take this shit past 3k.

And I will post my writing. Maybe that'll teach you why I don't want to. Cuz it's horrid~

I welcome and appreciate your spams and I apologize for previously objecting them <3

A/N: please don’t sue me, o anime overlords, I’m not making any money off of this! I’m just a broke student! I don’t have any money!

A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!

remember when there’d be interactions with the author and the characters?

InuYasha: I don’t get why I have to be here for this
