Me: hmmm, I have too many OCs, I should do something to fix that. Me, 10 seconds later: *makes new OC*
Late Halloween costume, oops!
Me and @canndsoap were Greg Lee and Mae Borowski from Night in the Woods!
The zero is red vinyl, and I made our ears from cardstock paper, and tape!
I really really really wanna be the person that always says "goodbye" before you leave and "I love you" before you can hang up on me.
Because I really really really wanna be someone that likes me.
And I really really really like people that get exited over little things and attached to fleeting things and in love with wild things.
So I really really really wanna be just like that.
But it's really really hard
When it makes me really really tired
And really really sad
And really really really craving some quiet.
But I'll still do it.
Because I really really really wanna learn to be somebody that likes me a lot.
Sometimes I think back to -arguably- my most prestigious accomplishment: Being a creative writer in Piccolo Spoleto:Rising Stars.
And I think: why the ever-fuckity-fuck did I think those poems were good???
I was so stiff and awkward, it was terribleeee
But, you know what, if I were to get he chance to do it again, I would.
But I wouldn't read poems about love (for... reasons)-oh no!- I'd write some poems about anger, or sadness, or something stupid and meaningless! Because this are the things I should write about.
Looking back though, performing was such an insane experience that is do again in a heart beat.
This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.
Among other things, it will:
Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.
Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.
Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)
Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.
REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.
REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN
For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.
Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.
Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.
These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.
If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!
I'm not leaving to spite you.
I Leaving for the benefit of MY mental health.
Why does everything I do count as ignoring you when you hate Me?
You agreed with him, but neither of you want to hear me out.
Stop thinking this is about you, it's distracting you from people you like.
What am I supposed to do...
I'm terrified of getting better.
The idea of focusing on myself scares me.
I'm trying so hard to get better but I'm making myself worse.
But fuck it, I'll comfort you.
Even though you're forcing yourself to pretend you like me as though you owe me something for crying while my mom called the cops that night.
Even if I'll never be able to forgive myself for being so fucking selfish.
How dare my mother take me out of school because it's been negatively affecting me and the only reason I even went was to see my friends.
Friends.
The people that hate me.
The people that couldn't care less.
The people that wish I were dead.
Fuck it.
I'll comfort you.
When no else bothers to think about how fucking guilty I feel for even fucking breathing, fuck it.
Fine.
It's not your fault.
You're not alone.
You're not selfish.
I don't hate you.
I thought...
Nevermind.
You deserve to live.
You deserve to be happy.
You deserve good friends.
You don't deserve to have me hanging around and overstating my brief welcome.
I'm sorry for manipulating you into being my friend. God, I'm so sorry.
I want you to forget about me.
I want you to stay with people who help you.
I want you to stop wasting time on me.
I'm a hopeless bitch.
I'm a waste of time.
So stop it.
Please
I'm so sorry.
I should never have been so fucking selfish.
Because I'm not special.
And things won't get better for me.
I deserve the shit they throw.
I deserve to be isolated.
I deserve for them to hate me.
To wish I were dead.
Can't say I blame them.
You can get better.
And I hope you do.
I'm sorry.
The other girl through the first punch.
But it made me realise that school's too much
For me to handle.
I just can't seem to take
When I make calmness break
In someonelse...
Or in myself.
Last week-
I think-
I had a dream
Where I was in love
And happy
And we were content
And calm...
In my head:
There was still calamity,
So I thanked you
For sailing in my storm with me.
Because I know
Some will still be angry
When I go back-
Just as when I leave
(again)
They can't forgive me
For last year...
For just-
Disappearing
From them.
I plan to tell them
This time-
Give my reasons-
And explain
That school
Is seeming
Like an unbearable strain
And I need a break
And a little concentration
Combined with motivation
To keep going.
But last night
...
No dreams.
Just the one nightmare
As my comfort and my company.
But because of it
I woke of lonely
And still felt empty
For a couple hours 'til
I remembered
That they(and you)
Were angry
At me
For leaving.
And I felt queasy
Even now, this evening.
And I know
That is was true, though.
But it scared me anyway
That she
Had wanted revenge
For what- I couldn't say,
After all: /she/ tried to punch /me/
I'd just wanted her to stop.
...
I guess I'll never really
Feel like I'm enough.
...
Any way, I remember
That in my dream
Everybody knew each other-
And all of you hate(d) me.
I guess dreams /do/ just mirror reality...
It's gonna be a bad day.
I wish I was still sick.
I'm staying home.
It doesn't feel right.
I don't like this.
It doesn't matter.
I don't think I've posted a drawing of these two yet! Lemme just- fix that real quick! This is Selina Kingsley and Franklin Amdras-Simel! As you can see: my babies are growing up and I love them very much(despite the fact they don't actually exist)!
I love Atlas very very much but he sleeps in the weirdest places around the living room. Like, why does he like the vacuum so much? Anyways, have I mentioned I love him? He's an ass and a attention whore but he's also really sweet(most of the time)
Haha, it's ok, he's not so bad, it just sucks when it does happen- I'm sure he's worse when I'm not around, so I'm actually pretty grateful for the things I /have/ heard him say, haha
-my dad, to my sister, less than 20 feet from me.
I am the /only/ queer person in the house.
I am the /only/ queer person in our imedient family.
He's didn't need to say it like.... That.
It wouldn't hurt so much if it hadn't been almost a year since the last time I heard say something anti-lgbt+ but it has been a while and I thought he might not say that- at least not in front of me.
21, he/they, ace- not very interesting and rarely post(let alone anything good)
