disabled people are often in permacrisis

there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

I really need to find some reasonable way of playtesting my ccg online. I bet I could find folks on here who would be down for playtesting a ccg if that were possible online

I don't remember finding fart jokes particularly funny even when I was a child.

Five year old me, watching a movie with fart jokes: "Oh, how gauche. They're pandering to the lowest common denominator."

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

i recently found out what the * * * that sometimes separates parts of a text is called and youre never gonna fucking believe it

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

my gps took me the wrong direction but now I see the error in my waze

idk I can tell that some tumblrinas are not up on fat politics because I see a lot of people saying stuff like “it’s better to be a little fat than waste your life trying to be thin” or like “it’s chic to have a little belly” like okay but there are fat people who are “a lot fat” and have “a lot of belly” which everyone is weirdly silent on all the time. Like the fattest person on earth still deserves to exist in human society with joy and dignity regardless of how they got to that weight or how many health conditions they have as a result of their personal actions…that should be everyone’s baseline here I’m not really sure what’s complicated about it

a rogue SecUnit will see a group of scientists and be like “is anyone going to protect them?” and not wait for an answer

Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

Also, sewing machines are one of those things that is often much better to buy used, because in the old days they used metal gears and now the gears are nylon and don't last as long. If you want to get a sewing machine and dabble, I highly suggest looking on Craigslist or at estate sales for a used one. Mine cost me $30 and would have gone for much more, adjusted for inflation, when it was new. But people inherit sewing machines or want to give them away all the time, so it is very worth checking on the used market near you if you want to get into sewing clothes but aren't sure where to start. You can often get a lot more sewing machine for your buck than if you buy a new one.

If you want an affordable metal-parts machine that can sew through multiple layers of denim, the Janome HD line starts at about $300. My HD1000 has been going strong for... 15? years now as my daily driver. I've sewn canvas on it no problem, and lightweight leather with the hand crank (do not do this, it's bad for your machine). It's a real workhorse. If you don't want to drop $300+ then an OLD used machine won't do you dirty. You can score professional grade machines for cheap if you keep an eye out; there are people letting industrial Jukis and walking-foot Pfaffs go for a song when they're clearing out grandma's estate.

i have for a while been using stepping on somebody's toes as a metaphor for misgendering. and i genuinely think that it's kind of a good one.

if you give a grovelling begging apology after accidentally stepping on somebody's toes one time you're going to make the whole thing awkward, but not giving a quick "sorry" before moving on is still kind of rude.
