My mom, every time I mention something I do is probably related to my autism/ADHD/OCD: Um, no. That’s just you as a person. You don’t need all these labels!
My neurodivergent ass, wanting these labels so there’s proof to myself I’m not alone and it’s not just me:
The map flag had the same color scheme as the pan flag and now they’re switching to the bi flag
If you see anyone with this flag or any variation
Run
Don’t fucking hesitate to block because pedos are now using this new “flag” and other forms of it
Can I get a signal boost from larger accounts? Start tagging people so this will spread
Dr James Barry, the first doctor to perform a successful C section wherein both mother and child survived, was a huge champion of handwashing at a time when most doctors didn’t wash their hands. For this reason, many of the chilldbirths he delivered resulted in healthier babies and mothers. He was also a gay trans man, who specifically wrote that upon his death he wished for his body to be taken in its nightshirt, wrapped in his sheets as a shroud, and placed into the coffin so that nobody would see his body. His wishes were not respected, and as a result he was outed at his death.
I’ve recently discovered the joy of plants! Much better than people, 10/10 would recommend. (You can expect spam of my babies soon.)
I’m a trypanophobic, meaning I am afraid of needles. My phobia has caused me to put off or completely avoid injections out of fear. However, recently I found something that helps immensely, the ShotBlocker, by Bionix.
From Bionix’s website,
’Bionix ShotBlocker® is an innovative device that instantly alleviates the pain and anxiety of needle injections. ShotBlocker® works through a novel application of the gate control theory of pain management. It is a plastic, C-shaped device with small bumps on its back. When pressed firmly against the skin at the injection site, ShotBlocker® saturates the sensory nerves and distracts the patient from pain signals caused by the needle poke. The device is both simple and easy to use, bringing comfort to users of all ages.’
The bumps aren’t sharp. Here’s a picture of my hand after I pressed the ShotBlocker to it:
Here’s a picture of the instructions that come with it:
My doctor had no problems administering the shot, and I felt no pain. I don’t mean that as in ‘just a small sting’, I mean that the needle felt just like one of the plastic nubs. Absolutely no pain at all. I was stunned.
Of course, it doesn’t get rid of the anxiety/dizziness/nausea that I get during injections. But with time, I think I’ll be able to train myself out of that.
You can buy them on Bionix’s website for 5.99 USD, I think I got mine from Amazon for a few cents less. They’re reusable and relatively inexpensive. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Person appears holding a bundle of furs.
“Hi! My name’s Siqiñiq, I am Iñuipaq from Alaska, Iñuit, and I want to show you my furs!”
They shift the furs in their arms, holding up a white with blue undertone fur.
“This is blue fox, I’m going to use this on my girl’s parka’s (atigi)”
They hold up a white and brown colored fur.
“This is lamb, which in the city many of us use as liners.”
They next switch to a caramel colored outfit.
“This is sikshrik, squirrel. This is what you would use as a liner traditionally. It’s much softer, so pretty.”
The next fur is a white-grey color.
“This is silver fox, my favorite.”
The Tiktoker holds up the finale fur.
“And my wolf!”
They wrap the wolf fur around their head.
“Okay, yesterday Biden signed support in one of the largest fossil fuel projects in North America right next to my village where my mom lives right now-“
White text that says “Willow Master Project” shows up. They put the fur down and bend closer to the camera.
“-a dynamite mine less then 10 miles away would be installed over 300 miles of pipeline. This completely goes against the Paris climate agreement.
You can take action now.
Visit the link in my profile, it’ll go to a YouTube video of testimony’s of real people in these communities. Then go to silainuat.org
Thank you!”
The video stops

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
I apologize in advance if I hyperfocus on your blog and end up liking/reblogging 200 posts in a row like a dumbass lol.
TIL that the relationship I have with my partners is called an open equal triad. Finally I don’t have to explain it as “see I’m dating A and B, and A and B are dating! But A is also dating C, while B and I aren’t.” Thanks @thebibliosphere!
Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?
Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!
The United States Government:
(Watch how many people don’t get this.)
I hope this can be a safe space for all who need it. (He/him. Spoonie. I’m over 18.)
