I get really confused, and even angry sometimes at lower support needs people who don’t understand the true meaning of autonomy and when it comes to caregivers and guardianship.

I mentioned ONCE in a group about wanting to go into assisted living and looking into it. Immediately got dog piled by people saying to absolutely not go into assisted living because itd “take away my autonomy” and “I should just live with others for as long as possible.”

Assisted living, group homes, guardianship, whatever, can very much mean that someone actually GAINS autonomy. And independence. The goal is for quality of life. We should be focusing on quality of life instead of what YOU want. What YOU want as a lower support needs person because you’ve heard bad stories.

Higher support needs people often don’t get the decision. It’s life or death for them. Y’all HAVE to realize that.

Stop forcing your narrative on young higher support needs people who are looking into different options for their care. Yes. It’s SCARY to be put in a bad situation, but often times it’s trial and error for us. Y’all HAVE to realize that. We don’t have the privilege to pick and choose between if we just live independently or go in a group home. It’s group home, or death, or living in a fucked up, maybe even abusive situation already.

Stop it.

A note, because not everyone knows this: if you're driving and another driver flashes their brights at you, this is a signal to be on alert and slow down. There may be debris in the road, a cop out of sight, or an animal crossing ahead of you. (Or, alternatively, your brights are on and they're getting blinded.) Whatever the reason, it's a signal that you need to focus and reduce speed. And possibly turn your own brights off.

This PSA has been brought to you by the four fawns and does that ran out in front of me at various points on my drive home.

Let's court death with mama!

be kinder to each other this pride month. remember that while we must remember why we need to stay vigilant and protect ourselves from queerphobia, and to remind people of the violence and hatred has happened in our past, we also have to show support for one another, and be kind and accepting, even if we don't understand each other. there is never a time to hate on your queer siblings, but especially not during pride month. this is the time where we are meant to band together the most, and share happiness, joy and understanding alongside remembering the hurt we've experienced.

get over yourself and stop the trans infighting. trans men and women are never enemies, especially not during pride month. drop your hatred for queer people you don't like or understand, like nonbinary people, intersex people, """tmes""", afab queer people, queer cis women and men, straight trans people, male lesbians and female gays, bi and pan lesbians and gays, he/him lesbians and she/her gays, bi and pan people in general, aros and aces, genderfluid and bigender people, and anyone else you feel animosity toward. there is never a time for that, but especially not now.

expressing and experiencing pride together is what makes us strong, and helps us understand one another, and that the barriers between us do not exist like we think they do. band together. experience pride together. it's not just for you- it's for every queer person, and that deserves to be celebrated together. if you don't like that, you're missing the entire point of pride and you need to reflect on this before you even attempt to celebrate this month. pride isn't for you and you alone, it's for everyone, and that includes the queers you don't like and don't accept. they're queer, they're here, and they're not going anywhere. accept it.

i like when you watch a video essay from 5+ years ago and they make a joke/apologize for how long the video is and the runtime is like. 35 minutes. when we now live in an era of 3 hour intricate breakdowns of bad kids shows being everywhere.

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon

Everyone warns you agaist going to the supermarket hungry, but nobody tells you about the dangers of going there too full: I do not want any of these things, for I will never require any food again at all!

they should invent an apartment that has huge windows but is never too hot and is near everything i like and all my friends but is also quiet when i want it to be and costs zero dollars or perhaps they pay me to live in. and they save it just for me so i dont have to look for it :)

I like the expression new-fangled. I don't know what it means for something to be fangled, but I sure as hell know it was recent
