We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

I know that's not a thing that translates well or easily to all languages or cultures or contexts - and still, I really, really do recommend it, or at least your version of it

We talk all the time about how lonely and isolated everyone is. How lonely and isolating society is right now, especially mainstream society, and especially in the United States

Hi im Robin and Im a 23 year old autistic trans woman facing a housing crisis. My situation has gotten rapidly worse and I am in desperate need of support.

There is a gofundme set up to assist me in aquiring more stable housing by DECEMBER. Please if youve been spreading my other posts, please a reblog or donation might save my life.

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you've seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn't feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there's a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people's kidneys, meaning we're less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren't getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you've requested, say to them the following:

If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.

it's the state legislators' goal to answer that impossible question

i am a proud woman and i wish to exist as such, free to wear as much or as little as i want. no one is harmed by my tits being out, only i am hurt by a lack of bodily autonomy. when the heat is overwhelming i want nothing more than a parasoll in hand and nothing on my chest.
