People don’t realize how much we sound like other things because we are created from the same laws of physics. “That potato in the microwave sounds like it’s screaming” is funny because it really is, air is vibrating out of a small hole which is how our throat works too. The babbling river that sounds like humans whispering, that’s because it’s a wet hollow cave with echo delivering the same functionality. The river doesn’t just sound like us, we sound like a river. They use a metal trashcan to create a lion’s roar for movie sound effects. But the truth is, not only does a trashcan sound like a lion, a lion sounds like a trashcan. Cars purr when you turn them on. Everything is like everything else. Inanimate objects are not so far away from life as it seems.

Remember the next time you feel more alone in the company of large buildings, or maybe less alone among the rocks of the river, that they are not completely unlike the parts of you.

If you have the means, consider donating to the Khartoum Aid Kitchen which feeds around 20,000 people a day in Sudan, who are suffering from extreme starvation.

Yeah….another mutual aid post for black wlw couple :) Juneteenth/pride edition :)

Hey guysss my hours have sort of been cut for early summer/end of the school year bc receptionist staffing depends on how many doctors are working and all of our doctors are moms.

My last check wasn’t even $450. It’s a sad time to get behind not just bc of pride and Juneteenth but bc our anniversary and birthdays are all coming soon back to back 🥹 and rn there isn’t a lot of wiggle room for gifts or celebrations which is really stressing me out tbh- it’s our 3rd year and we’re really excited regardless but it ofc feels bad to be so limited. we are also trying to somehow make a new car happen asap, for rn we’re surviving this heat wave in a car we were gifted for free with no ac and 1 functional window (+ a little sunroof)

My official goal again will be 250 just for partial rent assistance, but frankly more would be a great help rn. I don’t have a lot of recent pics of us together that I can post rn due to dysmorphia :) but here’s a totally unapproved pic of her (she/they) in our janky hot ass car and me (OOGA BOOGA 👹) also in the hot ass car

a game about transitions, journeys, and potential

Whakawhitinga is a worldbuilding game for 2-5 players, which uses the framework of an indigenous Te Ao Māori (Māori culture) creation history.

Players will create a new world over 5 rounds, through asking and answering questions.

Whakawhitinga is designed to be able to be played by those both familiar and unfamiliar with Māori culture, so give it a go even if it's all new to you!

The 36 pages of content include illustrations, a custom written karakia (plus an audio link), prompts for whakawhanaungatanga (connection building), guidance for playing the game, and the game content itself.

Gather some friends, and create a world using an indigenous lense -- starting from Te Kore, the void; moving to Te Pō, the eternal night; then finally, into Te Ao Marama, the world of light and life.

Grab your very own copy of whakawhitinga here, for only $5 USD:

i don't actually give a fuck whether fatness is an indicator of health because health shouldn't indicate a moral high ground. being healthy isn't some pinnacle of human achievement, it's not morally superior. and being unhealthy isn't a moral failing and shouldn't mean you're less worthy of kindness, justice, and a good life. signed, a chronically ill person who will never be "healthy" at any weight.

There's a difference between "disabled" and "legally recognized as disabled," and I just want to give a shout-out to all the other disabled people who don't have formal diagnoses, who don't have access to benefits of any kind, who don't have the ability to use even the shittiest and least-helpful resources, because the process of getting legal recognition for disability sucks ass.

And another shout-out to all the disabled people who purposely avoid getting diagnosed, because official diagnoses can be used against you, and you're unable or unwilling to risk it.

Trying to convince as many people to just stand in the ocean with me instead of only ever looking at the water. It’s so interesting and fun to be in the water don’t be afraid of the cold!!!!
