Rambling about health issues, don’t mind me just gotta vent somewhere lol ( ;∀;)
So about 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes; since then I’ve been trying to eat better and exercise but so far I haven’t lost any weight (love that!) and it’s been absolutely effecting my mood lol the medicine makes me sleepy and feel meh all the time; and like I want to draw and be productive, but I just can’t bring myself to do it half the time.
I’m so sad, I just want to feel better and make art and lose weight to be healthier but none of that is happening and it makes me depressed. I can’t get into my usual doctor until June (the one I saw that diagnosed me was fine, but I’d prefer to see the doctor I usually see ;; ) so I feel a bit helpless. I’m going to keep trying my best to improve my health, but it’s difficult ; u;
And I feel so useless when I’m not drawing or making things to post online, or it feels like I’m letting people down. I’ve tried to stop that mindset (why would people be hostile to someone for not posting for a few days ya know?) but my brain is terribly mean when it comes to myself.
If you read this, thank you for listening to my ramblings haha I try not to be negative too often but this one was bothering me ^^; Thank you for being there! Back to posting things that make me happy and hopefully make you happy too! 💖

[Img ID: post reading "it doesnt matter if we're feminine or masculine or androgynous. they'll want us dead anyway. THIS POST IS ABOUT TRANS MEN AND TRANSMASCULINE PEOPLE. DO NOT DERAIL. MAKE YOUR OWN POST." /end ID]
I think actually we've reached terminal selfishness and self-centeredness when "look basic transphobia. THIS IS ONLY ABOUT SOME TRANS PEOPLE. MAKE YOUR OWN POST" is considered acceptable behavior, like
1 this is the reblogging posts site. if you don't want it "derailed", turn off reblogs
2 it's not "derailing" to talk about experiencing the exact same type of oppression for the exact same reasons. like, this is tagged transandrophobia. y'know, the word coined to talk about oppression UNIQUE TO or MORE TYPICALLY EXPERIENCED by trans men and mascs? Like I know we're all super sensitive to "it's just transphobia" because bad faith actors use it to shut us up about our own oppression, but even if transandrophobia is ANY transphobia experienced by transmascs, this one is SO not unique and SO universal that calling other trans people "derailing" for daring to acknowledge they experience it is honestly transphobic itself
3. Are you being transmisogynistic or exorsexist it both? Do you find it offensive that a group even more erased than transmascs (trans people who are neither transfem nor transmasc) might "take the spotlight" by experiencing the same pain as you? Are you just mad that transfems suffer from hypervisibility (a key factor in transmisogyny, no less) that you're wrongly viewing as some sort of privilege?
Like this is the logical end conclusion of exclusion, separatism, and the idea that it's immoral or even just dickish to talk about SHARED experiences of oppression. Even those who aren't convinced that there's no overlap and oppression fits into neat little boxes based on your actual identity (and that people with multiple identities experience each oppression as discrete separate forms of violence OR a new unique form of oppression that no one else ever does) are like "I have the right to shut people out of a discussion of their own pain and trauma just because *I* experienced it for THIS reason
Like, I draw the line at someone saying anything more exclusionary than "oh I didn't name all groups that experience this because this was a more personal vent post, but please share your experiences because this isn't exclusive to us".
Idk I can't even articulate what's so gross and off-putting about this. But whatever, this intersex transneufemmasc is making their own post so they aren't (implied) transandrophobic by, idk, being transmasc but also other things and experiencing this same thing based on those other identities, or acknowledging that those other identities share these experiences in the absence of transmasculinity.
Also, nontransmasculine/non-trans-men experience transandrophobia, you fucking asshole. Transneutral, abinary/atrinary, neutrois, maverique, and other trans people that are seen as transmasc by bigots experience no material differences in the oppression they face. Their experiences are almost identical to yours - except they have to either be misgendered to be acknowledged or get erased. What functional difference do you think there is between an afab person pursuing what you forcibly label a "masculine" transition facing this exact shit, and you, other than that they respect your gender and you don't return the favor. Or you do, only to shut them out of a conversation that they have less of a voice in than you do.
That's just fucking transphobia. Fuck off.
If you're being so defensive over past trauma you bite people BEFORE you know they're unsafe, maybe you need to get a fucking grip.

i am genuinely so tired of my dad's gambling problem and im so annoyed at how im not allowed to get angry about it ever bc its "not our money" (the casinos give free money to start every week or whatever)
He made a HUGE fuss abt not wanting to take me to the book store and out to lunch yesterday bc it would take too long and he was going to have a big dinner later, and the only reason i agreed to do it today is bc he waved the promise of lunch + bookstore AND a haircut at me today. i never get to leave the house because my life revolves around him already so of course this is a big deal to me.
Only to change his mind the very last second bc he wanted to go to a fucking casino. This happens so often. I am so sick and tired. My autistic ass goes fucking insane when plans are changed like this and now this and I'm . so...

TW: Rant/vent
Honestly wish I could write faster so I can get these requests done in a timely manner
I'm mad that I procrastinate on some, even if it's for a little bit. Or when I can't think of anymore ideas for a request, like I want to add more but it's just I can't think of anything, makes me feel disappointed myself even if it's not my fault.
I love almost every single idea that comes into my request so it makes me disappointed when I can't get to them all at once, I want to make everybody please and satisfied and just to pump them out like a machine-
don't even know why I'm having these feelings, it's such a simple thing.
I just truly hope in the end that my product satisfies the viewer even if it's short or something

I’m currently sat on the floor of A&E (ER) with my little brother. He can’t sit or stand but apparently the hospital has nowhere for him to lie down whilst we await assessment. Now, I know that is bullshit, there MUST be a gurney or something somewhere, but instead we have had to make a bed out of pillows on the floor.
It’s just so hard not to get angry. The NHS is so badly underfunded and under staffed, and I know this, but when I see my best friend, my baby brother, in so much pain that he literally is struggling to exist, it makes me so fucking angry. It doesn’t help that the nurses really have no bedside manners and don’t seem to know how to work with patients who have medical ptsd.
I feel so helpless. My brother-in-law just got top surgery 6 days ago and is doing his best, and I’ve been staying with them all weekend to try and help as much as I can but it just sucks so much.
What makes it worse is the issue he is here with is something he had surgery for TWICE last year, at this hospital, so literally we just need to get the ball rolling so he can get surgery in the morning.
