Saw An Extremely Good Sign On The Bus Today

[french below]

Please help me spread the word! I co-created a french speaking support server on discord for people with chronic gynecological conditions (endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain, etc)

Aidez-moi à faire passer le message! J'ai co-créé un serveur discord de soutien pour toutes les personnes atteintes de pathologies gynécologiques chroniques (endométriose, adénomyose, SOPK, douleurs pelviennes chroniques, et autres). C'est un serveur safe LGBT 🌈 et inclusif pour offrir une alternative à tous les groupes de soutien cis-centrés qui existent autour de ces thématiques. Ouvert à tous-tes, avec ou sans diagnostic ! 💗

Ok so I have developed a new obsession and my lizard brain has drawn a connection between 4 unrelated characters and this paired them together.

They’re all

Skinny

Tall

Related to the color blue

And have some trauma

And I redrew each of em

We’ve got

2D from Gorillaz

Edd from Ed, Edd, and Eddy

Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime

And

Megamind from, well Megamind

The way my brain rationalized these was that they should each be from a Different form of media such as a band, cartoon, video game, or movie.

And now I present you my favorite work I’ve created of these boys so far

Since I love Gorillaz

Because I have no motivation to write the next chapter right now but am hella stressed, I present....

no one fucking tells you this so here it is:

when signing out forms to apply for disability / filling out a form for diagnosis

you’re supposed to fill it out as you on your worst days

like, I filled out forms that said I could do most things usually

like, my doctor added in the conditions like “yeah, they can feed themselves when not stressed” “they can do this when not stressed”

but how I should have filled it out was more like

“some days I can’t feed myself” “some days I can’t leave the house”

My doctor didn’t even know this, but I talked to someone who had worked with people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities for a number of years, and she told me to write down how it is for your bad days

this should be a thing they tell you, but it isn’t

part of the reason I didn’t get my autism diagnosis as soon as I should have is because I filled out forms wrong!

I was having such a good morning.

I was volunteering at my favorite place to volunteer, cheering people on at a 1k and 5k for the holidays (for the holidays) and I was on my feet for three hours straight and I was okay.

But when they brought the volunteers back to home base, I stepped of them golf cart and my ankle shot pain up my leg.

God dammit.

So now I’m sitting in the ground waiting for my ride and trying not to aggravate my ankle anymore.

A drag performer who inspires me?

Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.

I absolutely adore his works and his music.

Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.

Despite my drag ocs...

Ok

I need y’alls help with something.

I’m doing this thing and I need all of y’alls best cheesy pickup lines, as many as you can think of!!! 

Any brand of pickup line is allowed, but that doesn’t mean they will be used. 

“You’re too young to be in pain!” isn’t the wake up call you think it is. Your words aren’t going to magically make my pain disappear. And if you mean these words in a genuinely sympathetic way, then I urge you to stay away from it still. It can feel invalidating to a lot of us.

Crab Day

okay, so here's a new info post from the top.

the problem: tumblr is extremely extremely in debt. the current model is not profitable. this is why they are trying to turn the site into a shit clone of every other social media site, so they can attract new users and their money.

solution: not a ton of people can afford a long-term subscriptions like ad-free. however, many of us CAN afford $3 to inflict crabs on another unsuspecting user. (and those that can't, can still enjoy crabs everywhere)

the idea: in the grand traditions of mishapocalypses and goncharovs and tumblr users' obsession with [random inconsequential thing] Days, we create a fund drive/holiday on July 29th, dubbed Crab Day. buy your friends crabs. buy your enemies crabs. blaze posts. post memes. change ur icon. whatever. actually put your money where your mouth is and show @staff that there actually IS profit motive to listen to the current users about what we want this site to look like. (and yes, that means accessibility features too. we currently have zero leverage to demand these features. let's change that.)

i don't know if this will actually go anywhere. worst case scenario, a few of us have fun, tumblr gets a small amount of money, and nothing changes. best case though, we actually provide incentive to keep our stupid hellsite unique.
