Intro post I guess:
Hi Iβm Moth.
Any image I share or reblog has alt text or an image description, beginning of 2024-present.
What if we were all nice to each other. What if everybody was taken care of because theyβre alive.

So this post is for anyone who needs to hear it.
Sometimes behavioral euthanasia is your only option.
Maybe someone else could help your dog. Maybe the right trainer could turn everything around. Maybe you haven't found the med that works for your dog yet. Maybe a different or more experienced owner wouldn't have made the same choices. Maybe if there weren't kids involved. Maybe if you weren't married. Maybe if you were married. Maybe if you live out in the country. Maybe if you were more diligent. Maybe if you didn't hover so much. Maybe. Maybe. Maybemaybemaybemaybe.
Maybe.
But none of that happened. And you're here now. And it was the right choice.
It was you. In the home you have. With whoever you had to help you. Or without any support. Handling your dog to the best of your ability at that moment in time.
That includes having limited mental and emotional bandwidth. There may have been more things you were physically capable of doing, but that doesn't mean you had the emotional and mental resources to do them. You would've done them if you could have. If you knew that you should.
But i know for sure that you didn't pay a few hundred dollars so that someone would kill your friend for no reason.
You did it because you were unsafe. Or because someone else was. Or because your dog was so overwhelmed by the world that they couldn't cope.
You certainly didn't walk into a vet appointment where every choice you'd ever made regarding the dog was questioned and you were told about all the local and breed specific rescues because you didn't try.
You made that appointment and walked in and suffered through the interrogation because you loved your dog enough to know that putting them through being rehomed or institutionalized in a shelter would lower their quality of life so significantly that it wouldn't be worth living for them. Or because you knew that no one would ever be safe living with them.
You did it because you cared. Because you loved them. Because you trusted that it was the best option. Because you tried.
And it still hurt. Even if you were angry and relieved. It still hurt.
So, let me encourage you to let go of "maybe". You loved them. You tried. You cared. It was and wasn't enough all at the same time. You made the right choice.
You're the only one who has to suffer with this decision because they're now at peace.
practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of itβd be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance
βoh i donβt deserve rest and relaxation, i havenβt done enough, i havenβt earned itβ and my carβs breaks donβt deserve break fluid because they arenβt breaking well enough to earn it. thatβs what you sound like!!!!!
school uniform codes extending to what colours youβre allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and youβre not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????
βoh itβs to prepare you for the workplaceβ okay. i donβt think any workplace should be dictating what you can and canβt do with your body either and i think itβs strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own
iβm going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you donβt agree with is getting too automatic and itβs eating you from the inside out

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just βthey know theyβre safe now.β Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
"it's a tv show" "it's not real" i don't care. NO SHOES ON THE BED
okay if this breaks containment I think my asian grandparents would be proud of this post being my legacy. but for their sake i must clarify my personal stance. NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE AT ALL
We really really need a "only followers can reblog" option in the account settings
Trapped between being militantly pro-choice and deeply concerned about the erosion of abortion rights and thinking the way that people talk about pregnancy/motherhood/children on this hellsite is pretty gross and borderline misogynistic.
To expand on this a bit more, at the risk of sounding like That Guy, a lot of people on here don't seem to realize the right to choose to have children has been something that's been forcibly taken away from people as well. I live in an area with a pretty large Native population, a group that has, historically and even to this day, been subject to forced sterilization. They're not the only ones, either. Other ethnic minorities, disabled people, etc have all been subject to eugenics and had their reproductive rights undermined in the other direction to promote what dominant society considers a """pure""" population. Even a lot of the modern anti-abortion movement still disproportionally favors making more white people above all else. Saying that not having children is always the right choice and that keeping a child is always the bad, regressive choice, frankly, comes from a position of privilege. Like everything else, it depends.
Pro-choice goes both ways, and everyone should have the right and medical support behind whatever option they choose without discrimination. Simple as.
And can we please stop this over-the-top disgust over the bodies of pregnant people please please please y'all are so happy to defend all sorts of disabilities but then dissolve into a misogynistic froth when pregnancy comes up

Thank you for answering so many asks and reblogging so many posts from intersex people. We're probably the most erased group in the acronym, and I'm happy to see someone use their platform to bring attention to us and our issues.
I want to give a few general tips & things to know for your average perisex person for how to be a good ally to the intersex community!
Include our flag in pride projects!
Do not try to force intersex people into a binary like tme/tma or afab/amab. Even cis & trans. We're sick of it! Afab/amab should only be used to describe your own experiences, not other people's. Stop saying stuff like "amab anatomy" & "afab childhood"
We do not like being called biologically nonbinary and most of us are sick of that joke
Stop calling intersex animals trans! It may seem harmless but this is a mild form of erasure. Maned lionesses, male calico cats, antlered does, etc, are intersex! They are not trans! Posts about intersex animals may point people to learn about intersex people, which is a good thing for awareness!
Don't lump us in with trans people! Don't conflate transness & intersexuality. Yes there is overlap between our struggles but we are different groups!
Intersex people can identify as cis but our society will never see us as cis, we do not have cis privilege.
Do not listen to TERFs who call us "DSD", this stands for 'Disorders of Sexual Development" and is NOT the preferred term by the community. It's important to note that this is the current medical terminology for intersex people!! We are fighting against this label and do not accept it! We don't like "Differences of Sexual Development" either because it's the same acronym.
Not every intersex person has ambiguous genitalia. And of those of us who do, we don't "have both", we have something between male & female. And regardless you're not entitled to know what's in our pants lmao.
Use the terms perisex, endosex, or dyadic (they all mean the same thing, but perisex is the most recent & revised term. Endosex & dyadic are better known among older people) when talking about people who are not intersex. The same way you use cisgender when talking about people who are not trans. This positions intersex as a natural variation vs a deviation from normal.
Support intersex advocacy organizations like @interactyouth! InterACT is a wonderful group! As is InterConnect!
Most bigotry intersex people face is medical abuse, please recognize that! Many otherwise reputable medical sources are wrong about us and NEED to be challenged.
Do not reduce intersex people down to "cis person with a disorder" (like what the medical field does) especially in the context of the person in question being subject to transphobia. I see this so often with trans people saying "transphobia affects cis people too" only to show a headline about an intersex woman being harassed. Intersex people are an intended target of transphobia! It is not "transphobia backfiring on cis ppl". Remove phrases like "cis men with gynocemastia" from your vocabulary. Instead say intersex men.
PCOS is considered an intersex variation by the intersex community, but not by the medical establishment. If you are someone with PCOS, you ARE intersex due to your body's natural hormone levels! (You don't have to take up that label if you don't want to!)
I didn't know this had to be said, but do not say futa/futanari. I do not care that it's a popular porn category, it's a slur for intersex people in Japanese. It's the same as calling us a hermaphrodite, only worse because of the fetishization. There are better words you can use. (Ex bigenital)
YOU CANNOT TRANSITION TO BE INTERSEX! You can transition to have mixed sex traits, but do NOT say you are intersex! Please! This is co-opting! Use words like altersex, nonbinary or salmacian! Even post-transition, you are still perisex.
Please realize that we are being violently erased via the medical system. They need to mutilate us because our existence challenges the status-quo of bioessentialism. The only way a dyadic society can recognize our existence is as a "problem" that needs to be "fixed". This should piss you the fuck off. It should make you MAD. If it does, you're better than most allies. It's not an unfortunate "I'm sorry about that :(" this is a WHAT THE FUCK kind of situation. The subdued reaction everyone has to intersex people being mutilated and forced onto hormones is just so bleak to me. It's like nobody gives a shit. You never see intersex people because our dyadic society doesn't want you to. This is purposeful.
^^^ listen to intersex voices!
also as some of you may know, i have always been repulsed by dead bugs. absolutely horrified by them. i loved live bugs and didn't mind other dead things (i assist necropsies on marine mammals) but dead bugs upset me so much i'd have other people remove them from rooms for me. but after i moved to ireland i wanted to learn the insects their to impress my boyfriend when she visited (heehee)
so i took a bunch of bug ID books out of the library and started learning all of them. then one day once i moved to kerry i was lying down on my belly on the beach sunning, when i noticed a dead bug in front of me and without thinking about it i picked it right up and opened up the ID book. then i realized i was holding a dead bug, and i didn't even mind.
as always, curiosity is the antidote to fear : )
a broken link is a kind of dead wife
"In the cases of Isaac and others, scientists wish to discover whether these boys shared their brothers purported violent tendencies and the so-called mean gene. To accomplish this, the researchers did much more than simply give the boys a dose of fenfluramine. More than a dozen of the boys were withdrawn from all their medications for a month, including medications for such life-threatening chronic conditions as asthma.
For four days, they ate a special low-monoamine diet (basically a low protein diet), because monoamine affects serotonin levels. The boys were hospitalized the night before, and once they were out of sight of their parents, food was withheld for the duration of the experiment; the next morning, water was withheld, as well. At 8:30 A.M., physicians inserted a catheter and gave each boy fenfluramine hydrochloride by mouth.
Fenfluramine had never been given to children under twelve before this experiment began. Ninety percent of adults given a single dose experienced side effects ranging from anxiety, fatigue, headache, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, visual impairment, diarrhea, nausea, irritability, to a feeling of being "high". Up to 30 percent of adults who take fenfluramine develop heart-valve damage, and it can trigger a life-threatening form of high blood pressure called pulmonary hypertension.
One boy complained of a severe headache and others complained of light-headedness, but they were not released. Beginning at 10:00 A.M., blood was drawn hourly from the boys' catheters and tested to determine fluctuations in serotonin."

Now, imagine being put in these circumstances, and being told that if you respond poorly, it's because you're genetically predisposed to aggression π
This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

your self destruction doesn't have to be self harm to be real and worth caring about. self harm is very specifically causing yourself physical harm on purpose. if your self destructive habit isn't causing yourself physical harm on purpose, it's not self harm. you can discuss the emotional hurt caused by opening up your ex's texts without calling it something it's not.
neopronouns are all well and good but as long as we're adding words to the english language there's much cooler things we could add too. lets add inclusive and exclusive "we." a variant of "we" that distinguishes between "we (including listener)" and "we (including the speaker but not the listener)". other languages have this. Let's add the obviative case to our third-person pronouns so that we can distinguish between two people of the same gender - a him-[salient] and a him-[less salient]. this would make it much easier to write sex scenes where two people use the same pronouns. why aren't our proud pronoun warriors working on this
Yes! I'm thinking "we all" for the inclusive/universal we and "we folks" for the exclusive/limited we.
"We all are going to the park" versus "we folks are going to the park" I already feel has that distinction and the added words are nice and short
Not getting ideas for the obviative though
Can βwe allβ be contracted to βwβallβ like you all and yβall? Because thatβd be sick as fuck actually.
Yeah that feels natural to me! Seems "w'all" already exists on Urban Dictionary so I think it's not just us lol.
