Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!

okay fellow autistics & people who have sensory issues or trouble eating specific foods: hear me out.

I’ve been trying my best to eat more fruits & vegetables & more generally “healthy” food (I don’t think we should label specific foods as “good” or “bad” because food at all is better than no food etc, but that’s besides the point) & I’ve realised something.

If I pretend to be a specific animal while eating a certain food, it can be marginally easier to eat. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY?! Put away the reactionary part of you that goes “wow, that’s cringe”, because this genuinely helps me. I don’t care if you laugh, grow up.

For example, if I pretend I’m a bunny rabbit while eating celery or lettuce, it sort of becomes fun! It turns into me playing a part in my head, kind of. I also do this with sultana bran/raisin bran kind of cereal, where I’m like “hehe this looks like bird/rabbit food” & it becomes easier!

I just thought I’d share this trick in case it helps anyone else. It’s alright if it doesn’t help you, but I’m proud of the efforts you’re making to get better at eating certain foods, it’s not easy. & if you’re finding it hard to start trying foods out of your comfort zone, I’m proud of you as well 💕💕

Tried to shift and ended up having a nightmare woooohoooo /s

“This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal”

On February 25, we received an email from a person who signed himself Aaron Bushnell, announcing an act of protest against the genocide of P

If your heart is broken by the horrors in Gaza and you are prepared to bear significant consequences to try to stop them, we urge you to do everything in your power to find comrades and make plans collectively. Lay the foundations for a full life of resistance to colonialism and all forms of oppression. Prepare to take risks as your conscience demands, but don’t hurry towards self-destruction. We desperately need you alive, at our side, for all that is to come.

It'd be really nice to go on walks with a boyfriend who's fav topic is trees/plants and who explains and talks about them and all the things they like about it <33

i’m completely sick and tired of psychosis and paranoid thinking being made into a fucking joke. people on tiktok thinking it’s somehow funny to trigger people’s paranoia when they mention struggling with it. “i’m living in your walls” and “sending a SWAT team to you” jokes were being made at a creator who directly expressed that they have paranoia and comments like that were triggering it. i am livid. i am pissed. we are not a joke. we are not there for you to mock at our expense and suffering.
