#Ok to Rb by the way

[fleapit]

one of my favorite artists got ran off twitter for "fetishizing" his own disability on an 18+ personal account by a fucking 15 year old, and in light of that, i just want to say if you fucking police what disabled people do/think about our own bodies you can go fuck yourself.

you arent entitled to anyones backstory, anyones "reason" why they're disabled, and making bullshit claims about how they DID IT TO THEMSELVES is ableism 101. im so furious right now i can't see straight.

this fucking wave of puritanical anti-sex fear-mongering NEEDS TO END. you're hurting REAL PEOPLE over ART! over FICTION! the kind of fiction that's been created since humans started existing!

reevaluate yourselves and your own relationship with sex before coming for ANYONE ELSE.

making my own post bc i don't wanna derail a post specifically about trans people

we need to use the phrase "identifies as" less. when someone is Identifying As something, they just,,,, are that thing. whether it's man, woman, enby, dog, cat, lizard, dragon, etc., they ARE that. just say that.

i want less 'pup identifies as a dog' and more 'pup is a dog'

(this doesn't apply if they personally prefer using 'identify as' type language to describe themselves btw)

SYMPATH

Elevate your heart rate. Stare into the headlights.

Cool for: Escape artists. Prey animals. Panic Attackers.

If Half-Light emphasizes aggression, Sympath emphasizes evasion. Your neurons fire warning shots in times of peace. Your body maintains a consistent baseline anxiety that may keep you cautious, however persists despite your best efforts.

At high levels, you will not want to be here. You cannot stand to be here. You will remove yourself as best you can. As far away as you go, you find that you cannot ever leave.

At low levels, you won't feel fear. You can wake up and not be drowned in a constant crushing dread. You will not worry about the vague impending doom. You also will not fear in times that demand your survival. You will not know the danger until you're in it.

Another fake skill. I had a difficult week and thought about how if I had skills, I'd probably have a high Half-Light. This is what it looks like for me. My other skills can be found here: ALLUSION PANOPTIC

This is sort of meant to be vent art. This one may seem harsh and possibly upsetting but I felt like I had to get it out for myself. I got my neurotransmitters REALLY scrambled this week and found my GAD surfacing in times I didn't want it to. It feels silly talking about this. Also: SYMPATH refers to the sympathetic nervous system, the controller of the fight/flight response. I kept thinking about the band AJJ and how they have to regularly specify at live shows that they got their physiology knowledge wrong when writing "People II The Reckoning." Fun fact: part of my username is derived from AJJ lyrics.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

[spiderversegf]

i have started asking myself “how can i make this more fun?” in regards to the things i have to do and it is such a small difference but it brings me so much delight

#🍜 #sagittarius posting #but really like i just let myself stim however i want and i let myself do my weird silly harmless stuff #i used to be sooooo self conscious even when all alone! so this has been making me feel braver in a weird and unexpected way #i love joy i will never stop seeking it out!!! #ok to rb #🦠

[ash-and-starlight]

quick psa bc apparently it still needs to be said

DO NOT REPOST ART

idk in which language i have to say this for y’all to understand

DO NOT REPOST ART

i dont CARE if you credited the artist i dont CARE if u found it on pinterest i don’t CARE if you found it on instagram i don’t CARE if u found it laying in the corner of the sidewalk i don’t give a shit. it’s simply not yours to take and post without permission

repeat with me. you can repost only. and i mean ONLY. if the artist has given you explicit permission BEFOREHAND, asking them after you reposted does absolutely nothing. nada. nisba. niente. zero. it’s even worse.

(and permissions to repost are not blanket statements. if an artist is ok with reposting it doesn’t mean that another artist will be too, if you have the go-ahead to repost a certain art doesn’t mean that the permission extends to the rest of the artist’s work as well. “oh but i thought—“ i don’t cARE. ASK EVERY TIME.)

PLEASE begging to show even a crumb of respect for artists/writers/creators and their work it really is not that difficult

#im so doneeeeee i’m so fucking done i’ve had it up here with this shitt #i wish my art getting reposted didn’t make me so massively uncomfortable i’d be way more at peace and have less gray hairs #its ok to rb btw #but if u add some dumb take i will pulverize you #send post #yes i will rb this multiple times during the day i Will be making sure to cover more timezones djhdsj

in summer of 2021 i got my first shot of the covid vaccine in a rural vaccination centre. the person working there was very respectful and asked how to gender me correctly. it was a very small interaction but it stuck with me, especially after i got misgendered a bunch at my city's vaccination centre when i got shot #2. in summer of 2022 i talked with some people at a trans meet up and one of them told me that their transfem friend worked at that rural vaccination centre and had briefed the rest of the staff on trans identity. i have such a fondness for this trans stranger whose efforts impacted me in this small way and made my experience getting vaccinated a positive one. and it gives me hope that the work i do when i educate cis people around me might have a positive impact on trans people i will never meet

you empaths need to realize that getting pissed at low/no empathy people for… being the way we are isn’t gonna magically give us empathy. it’s actually gonna make us less inclined to even learn how to feel it LOL

#talking tag #it’s actually funny how illogical you people are #and you get pissed when we try to understand. don’t fucking punish behaviour you want to see 😭 #ok to rb by the way

i think a lot about hot sauce and jeannemary. two young girls so ready to kill and to die. a comparison made all the worse when you recall that hot sauce lost all her family to the cohort, that she can specifically recall fourth style necromancy (using corpses as bombs). a fourteen and thirteen year old that could easily have been on opposite sides of the same front line. 

#the locked tomb #the loss of childhood! senseless violence! #opposite ends of the propaganda machine #eskildit posts tlt #all of nona the ninth #how am i supposed to tag hot sauce #jeannemary chatur #ok to rb #edit: okay im actually gonna use these tags to ramble a lil #in many ways i feel alecto the ninth is gonna be the hardest book to actually pull off #first for the obvious reason that its an ending and endings are always hard #but second because nona the ninth was by far the most political book of the series #books 1 and 2 following harrow and gideon mean we're following characters on the outskirts of the empire #gideon is individually oppressed by the ninth and even harrow is considered a black sheep outsider of the nine houses #but they are still WITHIN the houses gideon has dreams of the cohort harrow has dreams of of revitalizing her house #nona was our actual introduction to the real consequences of the empire that characters like judith like jeannemary like corona herself #have their livelihoods and status entirely built on the imperial violence we see first hand on new rho #anyway i say all of this to say it means coming back to these characters might be kinda tricky! #the cost of the empire is no longer abstract its extremely palpable! #how does one return to our core cast we've know for multiple books now that we understand that #idk. interested to see where we go!

no comment pisses me off as much as consistently as "i couldnt tell youre autistic" does. we've gotten it on several occasions after sharing that we're autistic and its always said like its a compliment. something positive. its not. not to us.

there's a couple situations in which this comment will come up. someone new who we've known for a short amount of time, a few hours at most, who we've been masking around the whole time. masking takes effort that is tiring. our masking isn't perfect, but it gets the job done. its not a compliment here because we are putting so much effort in to keep them comfortable. we dont want to do this. "i couldnt tell" means "you're masking adequately and i will expect you to keep this up forever to keep this view of you in my mind perfect".

someone we haven't bothered to mask around much or at all. new or not. "i couldnt tell" means "i have a singular view of autism probably influenced by a singular autistic child, most likely a family member. you dont act lik my nine year old autistic nephew so i think you dont act autistic." if this isnt a new person, there's a high chance this person has commented on us "acting weird" before. one instance of this was someone who, about two minutes prior in the same conversation, had also said she "admires that [we] can be [myself]" in reference to how we dress and act. the reasoning given for not being able to tell we're autistic? "you're so well-spoken!" something that stems from our autism.

[queerprayers]

holding your gay lover ash wednesday afternoon is like. the myth of the ancient martyr wouldn't understand us but I'd die for love too, I would. and I will, we all will.

I'll take my pink eyeshadow off in a couple hours, to be replaced with a smeared cross, a bigger love, a love I'll die into. I'll wash it off when I get home so I won't break out (and so it won't get on my pillow) and it'll still be there when I look in the mirror out of the corner of my eye.

either life or death will separate my butch and I—whether God leads us diverging ways or Sister Death claims us one by one first, I only get this for now.

but God asks us to live for now, to love for however long we get to, and to remember the whole way how fragile it all is. I don't pretend to know the why, but I hope I never forget the way my hand is warmer in another's.

I understand the rib story now, y'know? not in a way that triumphs over the love for my sister or my friend or my grandfather, but in a side ache that means we're slowly becoming made out of each other. I would be complete without it (I have been all along)—and also: the more people I love, the more faces God lives in.

I don't presume to know how love exists after death, but I hope—I know—we all return to the same dust. till death do us part, to become something else that can love easier and forever.

#thought dump on the way to church #sister death in the st francis way btw #ok to rb #if u want my butchfemme death meditation lol #and disclaimer: romantic love does not have a monopoly on any of it including my tag: #to love another person is to see the face of god
