Hey, I’m a trans guy, disabled, desperately unemployed but jobseeking

last night things escalated when my dad grabbed me by throat like he was trying to choke me, shoved down the hall into my room, called me crazy woman and threatened to call the police to take me away/institutionalize me.

This all started because one of the dogs was barking and it awoke him at 2 a.m.. and that was my fault, somehow. 

he apologized this morning ‘for last night’ but undid the apology by maintaining to say that I provoked it. but after having hands around my neck like strangling me I can’t stay here. 

Thanks so much for helping me, reblogs and donations alike. thanks for caring

So our shitty ass government decided to put pregablin and gabapentin (Lyrica, Neurontin, etc.) on a controlled drug schedule with very little consultation from us. This starts in April.

What this means is that you can only get a one month supply of this at a time and it can only be prescribed in writing (on a green prescription not a white one that gets sent electronically to your pharmacy). I’ve seen almost no advice or announcements regarding this and worry that people will get caught out. These drugs are generally used for chronic pain, seizures, and migraines but they have other medical uses as well.

Contact your doctor and pharmacist to find out how they’re handling this change. All different GPs and specialists are handling this in different ways. The most important thing is not to panic. These changes don’t go into effect until April 1st.

Procedures after I die are a little costly for my budget. I’m going the route of cremation with a lovely local organization [KORU Cremation], and while they keep fees as low as they sustainably can, it still comes to ~$2,000 depending on the specifics. I’m not close with my parents so my friends will be handling the arrangments, and I don’t particularly fancy hefting that cost on them immediately following my death.

as promised, here’s the link for my cremation crowdfund - pls donate &/or share if you can <3 

DO NOT EAT GRAPEFRUIT IF YOU TAKE OPIOIDS.

I recently learned that compounds in grapefruit juice called furanocouramins increase the blood concentration of both oxycodone and oxymorphone, and in half the time than without grapefruit juice.

Know what that means? The grapefruit juice increases the potency of your normal dose.

THIS IS LIFE-THREATENING.

Grapefruit already interacts with many medications, but this is dangerous. You could overdose. You could die.

Save a Spoonie.

It’s a jolly season, until one of your babies gets their mouth around a plant that won’t treat them well.

Watch out for these plants during the holiday season, no beauty is worth possibly injuring your beloved.

✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️

Poinsettia: contains an irritating sap that causes nausea and vomiting

Holly + Mistletoe: harmful leaves and berries, will cause everything from vomiting, to hallucinations, to death

Cyclamen: a winter bloomer, it’s a common gift that can cause vomiting, convulsions, and paralysis

Amaryllis: poinsettia’s competitor, it has Lycorine and other substances that cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lethargy

Jerusalem Cherry: literally in the nightshade family and will easily kill as it is highly toxic to animals

Lillies + Daffodils: especially harmful to cats, these will cause vomiting, diarrhea, arrhythmias, and convulsions

Fir/Pine/Cedar/etc. Tree: the center of many homes during the holiday season, its oils are irritants, its needles can puncture their insides, and the water bowl is a cesspool of bacteria, mold, and any chemicals used for its creation and preservation. Especially bad if it was covered with a flame retardant.

✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️❄️✖️

So, definitely not saying that you shouldn’t decorate with or gift these items, but you know your pet the best. If they’re a chewer, keep an extra eye on them, but, of course, no pretty plant should be worth more than their lives.

to those whose hands shake too much to paint their nails black

to those who can’t wear punk/edgy clothes because of the texture or other sensory reasons

to those who can’t wear punk/edgy clothes because of medical equipment or mobility aids

to those who can’t wear combat boots because they need shoes with better support

to those who have allergies or sensory needs or weakened immune systems or any other reason that prevents them from getting tattoos or piercings

to those who can’t afford to buy the clothes they want to wear

Some people in the notes said things along the lines of “get a job”. They seem to be unaware of how hard it is to find one when visibly trans. Mostly interviewers are polite but never call back. Anyway. They’ll be happy to know that after a year of searching I finally found a short term summer job. It should help pay a portion of it. So I reduced my goal a bit. But I’m still scared I won’t make it.

I am the second example they used.

if you ever see a conservative and wonder just how in the world they have so little compassion?  they are genuinely convinced that most - not all, but most - bad things that happen are the fault of the person affected, because then they don’t have to feel bad

You can have reading problems that aren’t dyslexia, too, including being a slow reader or having poor reading comprehension.

The problem is not dubs, and they shouldn’t be treated like a grudging, “not as good” last resort for those sad disabled folks who you guess should be able to enjoy anime. There are some amazing dubs out there–Trigun is fabulous, and while I’ve not seen it I’ve heard the Ghost in the Shell dub is really great too, with the new Sailor Moon dub being “not perfect but definitely way up there, especially for relevant localization.” The problem is that most dubbing companies do not care to make good dubs. Japanese names aren’t hard to pronounce if you just have a phonetic guide to them (for fuck’s sake, just play the original seiyuu saying the name half a dozen ways so the VA can get it from a native speaker! Problem solved!). Reasonably accurate translations aren’t hard if you don’t phone it in.

So rather than hating on dubs, let’s push for better dubs that we can all enjoy.

If you’re going through something tough, get extra sleep. Take a nap. Don’t feel bad about going to bed early.
