Watching “I woke up a vampire”, it’s cheesy and cute.

I want kev and Dylan to date, and carmie and Madison.

Love that Madison seems to pull influence from clawdeen, their nails!

And the adoption plot seems okay, very subtle but a nice change of pace for her to be the older sister and not a replacement baby.

After years of seeing “call the midwife” clips on the internet. I have started watching it. I was unprepared for the regular episode to Christmas episode ratio, there are like 8 episodes per season and one of them is a Christmas special every time.

I was also not prepared for the reality (it’s based on memoirs, but I didn’t know that going in) there are episodes that talk about infant death, but also a man being arrested for being gay and forced to take estrogen for treatment (I do not understand the logic behind that) and then there is a lesbian couple that comes out of nowhere and then is separated and then reunited. But also just random midwives dating preachers, which is not that weird but understanding the difference between Anglican nuns and catholic nuns was not really something I wanted to learn about.

We should not be crabs in a bucket. We should be monkeys in a barrel, linking arms and reaching new heights

I saw recently someone accuse nonbinary people of "riding the coattails" of binary trans people, and I cannot emphasize this enough: take my coattails, hold them in your hands, pull yourself up by my bootstraps. Together is how we thrive, together is how we fight, together is how we win.

There are queer people out there who when they see another branch of the queer community either succeeding or receiving support, their reaction is to try and pull them back down. The logic is often: if I had to suffer, so do you.

If I could give a piece of advice to anyone just entering the queer community, it would be: be wary of people who want suffering more than solidarity.

Remember, in this community, we are not here to fight for scraps, we are here to rise together.

Many indigenous people and people of color also experience this in the USA and Canada.

Two of my siblings are adopted from foster care, they were placed in care at birth because their mothers genuinely did not have the ability to care for them, one was drug exposed and both were premature. Their mothers both had other children already in care and had not intentions of taking my siblings home. The trauma that they experienced at birth from being separated, still effects them and will for the rest of their lives.

I was at a courthouse once, and saw an indigenous australian woman in a dressing gown very carefully and gingerly making her way down the steps outside the courthouse, surrounded by family who were helping her down the stairs. We asked if she was OK, because she looked awful. She looked like she should have been wrapped up in bed with blankets and hot soup, not on the steps of a courthouse.

One of her family told us that she had given birth yesterday evening, but that Child Protection services had taken her baby away with no warning, claiming that she wasnt prepared to look after him. What had happened, is that she'd literally only just given birth -- hadn't even passed the afterbirth yet, is holding her blood-coated, crying, newborn baby to her chest -- and a nurse asked what her feeding plan was. She was tired from the birth and distracted by the brand new baby in her arms and thrown off by the timing of the question, but still, she managed to answer, and said she planned to breastfeed him whenever he was hungry.

Well apparently that wasn't enough of a plan for the hospital staff, who reported her and claimed that she was unprepared to look after the child, and claimed that had no social supports, and that the baby was at risk if left with her. All because a brand new mother, 30 seconds after giving birth, didn't have a PowerPoint presentation ready to go that cited the timing cycle she would feed her kid on, and instead simply said that she would feed him when he was hungry.

Child Protection services showed up, took her kid, and she was told to show up to court the next day to contest custody if she wanted her baby back.

So a woman who had given birth less than 24 hours prior was forced to rally her family and show up to court to prove that she a) had a feeding plan for the child, and b) had enough social supports to justify reclaiming her baby.

It was one of the most appalling things I'd ever seen. I don't even know if she won her case. They didn't know at the time we saw them, and after that brief interaction on the stairs, i never saw them again. I sincerely hope she got her newborn baby back.

That was about 5 years ago. And the exact same kind of thing is still happening today.

News broke today from a South Australian whistle-blower of the appalling treatment new mothers frequently receive, including hospital staff taking the baby away from the mother "for medical tests," only for the mother to then be told, with absolutely no prior warning, that the baby was not going to be returned to her.

Here's the article, and here are some excerpts:

I just watched a trailer for “how to date Billy Walsh” and while it would be very cute for the girl to get him, the cover picture looks like a bi comedy, and now I really want the two boys to get together, which is only a little dumb, but I don’t know if I can watch it when I have that secret hope.

The girl looks like a good character and I want her to have a happy ending, but I’m just a gay boy.

Lots of things in my life effected if I was attracted to people and my libido.

Now that I know I’m autistic, I know that that informed a lot of my relationships when I was a kid. I did things because I saw other kids do them. I said things that were not nice but I didn’t understand why.

I liked people when I was a kid but looking back they were genuinely I liked this person not I was attracted to them. A lot of the boys I liked was purely because I wanted to be them.

In high school I like boys and girls, but it was still muddled between being friends and wanting to be them.

By college I had accepted that I was aro and ace and while I still felt attracted to some people it was mostly men, and that still was confused with wanting to be them.

I’m now 24, almost completely out as a trans man and on T. My libido is much higher than it ever was during puberty, and I’m more comfortable with my body than ever before. And for pretty much the first time ever, I am confident in says that I’m Gay, Homosexual, sexually attracted to men. Women are pretty and I’m sure there are some that I might like but I want a man to pick me up.

I stopped watching. 9-1-1 during season 6, I can’t remember when, but I saw a post about season 7 on here 2 nights ago, so I am caught up and it was everything I wanted it to be. I cannot wait for the new episode to be on Hulu tomorrow.

Donna Lee Parsons isn’t particularly well-known in hardcore/punk circles, but she should be. She played a pivotal role in rock history. Before she transitioned, she founded Rat Cage Records, a record label that released the Beastie Boys’ first two EPs; she signed them at their very first show. Twenty years later, after Parsons came out as trans and the band’s meteoric rise to fame, the artists quietly paid for Parson’s gender affirmation surgery. According to member Adam Horovitz, since the men knew she wouldn’t accept the money if she saw it as a charitable act, they claimed they owed her royalties from their EP Polly Wog Stew.

[...]

So if you’ve ever worn a ‘lightning bolt’ t-shirt or listened to Victim in Pain or found yourself fondly recalling a Beastie Boys show you went to, you have a transgender woman to thank for that. And we should know her story. If you call yourself a hardcore kid, Donna Lee Parsons touched your life.

I am very tired of the wish slander I see on my Instagram feed. I love that asha did not have a romantic relationship, she got to be the kid thrust into saving her town. She had to unlearn her whole upbringing and convince others that what was happening was wrong.

Magnifico had good intentions, be taking away everyone’s wish prevented progress and stifled grief. One creator pointed out that one wish was a guy hugging his son, and their idea was that his kid was dead and he gave the wish of having his son away and no longer feels that pain, but what does that mean? Did he speed run grief? Did he forget about his son? Does he remember his son being there one minute and then gone the next?

I really liked wish, the nods to other Disney movies were cute, and I enjoyed the music.

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

this headline is so fucking horrible why is it whenever indigenous people are murdered everyone avoids saying they were murdered

As many young adults do, a friend of my sister’s was selling cutco knives. My father and I both sat for demonstrations because that’s all that they need to make a goal.

I spent some money and bought an astronaut ice cream scoop, it’s dishwasher safe and heats if I shake the handle which makes it an accessibility tool for me, and a knife that’s the same model as one we inherited when my grandmother died, it is one that I use constantly. But because I spent more than $150 they sent me a free vegetable peeler. Which I don’t need, because I already have one that I like, but there was a big problem with the package.

It was addressed to “Mrs [last name]” which can cause a lot of confusion because that’s my mom not me. I’m not married, I am a man, and the didn’t even put my first name on it. So overall incredibly rude.

I finally finished the twilight audio book.

I started midnight sun. It’s so fucking funny I’m crying

It starts at lunch Bella’s first day and he’s annoyed that jasper is hungry, so he has to watch him carefully and then he finds out that he can’t find Bella’s thoughts.

In Bio he realizes she smells good, breaks the table (just a lil bit) and then starts planning how to kill Bella and the rest of the room to his the evidence that he’s a vampire.

I have to take a break because I can’t even

My sister take medicine for her adhd. She is out of town for spring break, with our mom, but because she is a child and not old enough to get her own medicine, I was in charge of packing it.

I split the pills and put them in the right bottle, I packed her new prescription and I thought I put her 3rd medication in. Turns out I packed the 1/2 pills, her new prescription and the old prescription of the same kind. Which means instead of 5mg of one, 3mg of one and 0.5mg of the last one, she was taking 5mg of one and 5mg of the other.

My dad or I are usually the ones who give her the 2 meds at the same time, and while one changed shape and from orange to yellow, the other was still round and orange.

Which means that when my mom was giving her an orange pill and a yellow pill, it seemed visually correct, and it did for a child too. So now after 3 days the excess medication is catching up to her and she’s super tired.

So she is going to the Dr.

And she should be fine, short term double dosing (less technically) should not cause any problems outside of excessive tiredness, but poison control recommended she goes, and that will help.

I feel bad, and I know that it was an accident and could have happened to anyone, but I still feel bad

I had to make the difficult decision last year to resurrender my puppy to the shelter. It’s been just over a year since then. Longer without her than with, and I still feel lost without her and my baby siblings ask about her all the time.

What’s up just a reminder that the Hula Girl stereotype can go to hell and is in part responsible for Hawai’i being the tourist destination and getting invaded by rich white people, and for Hawaiian culture being disrespected and appropriated

Here’s a few sources on the topic:

How America’s Obsession With Hula Girls Almost Wrecked Hawai’i (the site is weird but the research is legitimate, gives a good overview of the issue and references a lot of sources that are harder to get your hands on read: books)

“Pop” Goes Hawai’i: The Twentieth Century Origins of Tourism in Hawai’i and the Impact of U.S. Pop Culture on Women in the Islands of Aloha (this one is very long but a really good read)

Misperceptions of the “Hula Girl” (this one is a personal essay but it’s an entry in the University of Hawai’i’s academic newspaper)
