my mom: we don’t celebrate Halloween

me: uh, yes we do? We put up decorations and we go trick or treating in costumes?

my mom: no, we do all that stuff because we think it’s fun, but we don’t celebrate the devils birthday

me: …but Halloween doesn’t have anything to do with the devil, you literally told me so. And, doing all that stuff is celebrating Halloween bc that’s all Halloween is.

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

walking distance poll

• speaking for your own definition in a private context (for example not what you would expect when a hotel advertises a "beach at walking distance" but rather if you want to go somewhere, what distance do you consider within your personal walking distance)

• you can walk at any pace you like, fast or slow

• you can take as many breaks as you like, the only thing that matters is the total time that it takes you to get from point A to point B

• you can use any medical mobility aids you want/need to cross the distance

The funniest thing about this situation is that Elon Musk is so pissed off at not getting to do something illegal and get away with it by being a billionaire for once in his life that he has been -and I’m 100% serious here- making photo edits of our Supreme Court minister dressed as fucking Voldemort. Literal little kid taping a picture of someone they don’t like to a dartboard kind of behavior.

Same energy as when I received my pre-op phone call for my surgery, and the lady said I could drink whatever I want the night and morning before surgery except red gatorade or other red drinks, and I went full chemistry mode thinking that the red dye must bind to anaesthesia or something, and she was like "No, anaesthesia makes a lot of people nauseous post-surgery, and we really don't want to guess whether or not you're throwing up blood."

btw repeating 'trump is worse' over and over no matter what only incentivises the explicit dem strategy of intentionally boosting far right candidates so they have the worst people on earth to run against. it contributes to a state of politics in which the people on your side go out of their way to bring in candidates who want you dead. you cannot vote your way out of a corrupt electoral system.

Any other aro people not realise that saying "I love you" was a big deal?

Like I fully thought that if you were dating someone that was the same thing. Until I was in a relationship with someone (who I was not remotely into because you know lack of romantic attraction and I just didn’t know that yet) and they said they loved me and I was like cool and they were like do you love me and I was like sure. And then I just sort of sat there very confused. I broke up with them eventually because I realised I didn't actually feel anything more for them than friendship and everyone was super confused. I still feel bad about it and I still don't understand what the fuck the point of saying "I love you" is.
