ten worms in a trenchcoat

genuinely i think beyond joining tumblr and leaving school possibly the best thing that has ever happened to us was learning what non24 is. cannot imagine how we used to live before knowing that it wasnt our fault. now we have the ability to actually, you know, find resources and community and advocacy groups. i intend on doing more research into the process of diagnosis and subsequent disability application. once i actually gather enough data and educational resources we'll probably be able to undeniably convince our parents that Yes It Exists and No It Isnt A Lack Of Willpower. we're actually being encouraged by the community to not forcefully end our free-running schedule, seriously, it is huge that we are actually being encouraged to prioritize our health. top 5 best things for us ever

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

reblog to let people know it's ok to bother you with questions and statements

I tend to do a lot of cooking experiments and frankly the amount of closed mindedness people have around what food should and shouldn’t look like is holding them back I think

I notice that a lot of people’s immediate reaction to hearing about a cooking technique or flavor combination that they haven’t come across before is open disgust. A disgust and primal hatred that they will then take out on the messenger of this new and glorious news that the world is a little bit bigger than they thought it was.

Yeah I put apples in soup sometimes. People have been doing that for centuries. Get the fuck over it like an adult.

I found out today that there was a (thankfully very ill-fated) attempt to have the entire Wikipedia article on discrimination against transgender men deleted. At first I thought the perpetrator was yet another bargain bin transphobe/TERF act of disruption but apparently not so, she is a trans woman. The user in question had been disputing the use of transandrophobia in the article as being inappropriate, but as other editors pointed out, the way in which it was used was as to be expected (basically saying “hey this term is being used commonly right now in places to describe this phenomena”). When attempts to get the article edited to remove any mention of the term failed, this user instead decided to just nominate the whole article for deletion instead. She even went as far as to say “you will never be a man” to the editors disputing this, though it was quickly deleted. It’s the actions of only a single person, but I find this indicative of how the chronic devaluing and othering of transmasculine people and voices in faux-transfeminist spaces leads to action basically indistinguishable from cis transphobes. Resorting to attempted vandalism of an online resource and blatant transphobia is a symptom of this trend that deserves absolutely no patience at this point.

wanna note - the nomination for deletion outcome was a "speedy keep" and the user in question has an administrative warning for attacking other editors. She will be banned from editing if she pulls this again.

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

Happy pride month to her and her exclusively

happy pride

one of the most frustrating ways i've found you can be misunderstood is when people think you're horny about the things you're just weirdly fascinated by and weirdly fascinated by the things you're horny about

"omg is this like a fetish for you or something 😅🤣" NOT EVERYTHING IS A FETISH!!! "you have such interesting hobbies" no uh . that one is a fetish actually.
