btw cops are inherently supposed to be manipulative as FUCK

pre-law student here, we're spotlighting interrogation lmao.

the only other occurrence i've ever seen, heard of, and even experienced with cops myself, is just straight up abuse with no prior softer demeanour.

interrogators, and by extension, all cops, are required to be manipulative. they are told to gain the suspect's trust and trained to psychologically gain it through every minor aspect, even subconsciously. they are then told to provoke the suspect after building a genuine relationship. they then become aggressive and nearly all of that aggression is completely planned and was the intention the whole time.

don't ever trust a fucking cop unless it's a life or death situation for you. don’t trust a traffic cop, don't trust a security cop, don't trust a campus cop, don’t even trust a cop in a situation you aren't a suspect or perpetrator. acting nice towards them is best for your own safety, but make sure more than anything that that kindness is NOT genuine. manipulate them.

don't trust any fucking cop.

i know you're pro-c but r u pro consent for everything :P

yep! I’m pro consent above all else

I say I’m pro-c with the understanding that contact is consensual with all parties involved

for you or anyone else curious, I follow the VSR consent model as described by the third groundwork principle of consistent progressivism and the definition they provide (see website below)

Lack of hygiene isn’t shameful.

Unemployment isn’t shameful.

Lack of education isn’t shameful.

Reading difficulties aren’t shameful.

Writing difficulties aren’t shameful.

Messy rooms aren’t shameful.

A lot of folks are just really ableist and classist.

hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak

I've been disabled for almost 29 years. Here's what I've learned.

Tablets sink and capsules float. Separate out your tablets and capsules when you go to take them. Tip your head down when taking capsules and up when taking tablets. Liquigels don't matter, they kinda stay in the middle of whatever liquid is in your mouth.

If your pill tastes bad, coat it with a bit of butter or margarine. I learned this from my mom, who learned it from a pharmacist.

Being in pain every day isn't normal. Average people experience pain during exceptional moments, like when they stub their toe or jam their finger in a door, not when they sit cross-legged.

Make a medical binder. Make multiple medical binders. I have a small one that comes with me to appointments and two big ones that stay at home, one with old stuff and one with more recent stuff.

Find your icons. Some of mine include Daya Betty (drag queen with diabetes), Stef Sanjati (influencer with Waardenburg syndrome and ADHD), and Hank Green (guy with ulcerative colitis who... does a bunch of stuff). They don't have to be disabled in the same way as you. They don't even have to be real people. Put their pictures up somewhere if you want; I've been meaning to decorate my medical binders with pictures of my icons.

Take a bin, box, bag, basket, whatever and fill it with items to cope with. This can be stuff for mentally coping like colouring books or play clay or stuff for physically coping like pain medicine or physio tape.

Decorate your shit! My cane for at home has a plushie backpack clip hanging from the end of the handle and my cane for going places is covered in stickers. All of my medical binders have fun scrapbooking paper on the outside. Sometimes, I put stickers and washi tape on my inhalers and pill bottles. I used my Cricut to decorate my coping bin with quotes from my icons, like "I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se" and "I need you to be angrier with that bell".

If a flare-up is making you unable to eat or keep food down, consider going to the ER. A pharmacist once told me that since my eye flares can make me so nauseous that I cannot eat, then I need to go to the hospital when that happens.

Cola works wonders for nausea. I have mini cans of Diet Pepsi in my coping bin.

Shortbread is one of the only things I can eat when nauseous. Giant Tiger sells individually-wrapped servings of shortbread around Christmas or the British import store sells them year-round. I also keep these in my coping bin.

Unless it violates a pain contract or something, don't be afraid to go behind your doctor's back to get something they are refusing you. I got my cardiologist referral by getting in with a different NP at my primary care clinic than who I usually saw. I switched from Seroquel to Abilify by visiting a walk-in.

If you have a condition affecting your abdomen in some way (GI issues, reproductive problems, y'know) then invest in track pants that are too big. I bought some for my laparoscopy over a year ago and they've been handy for pelvic pain days, too. I've also heard loose pants are good for after colonoscopies.

Do whatever works, even if it's weird. I've sat on the floor of the Eaton Centre to take my pills. I've shoved heating pads down my front waistband to reach my uterus.

High-top Converse are good for weak ankles. I almost exclusively wear them.

You can reuse your pill bottles for stuff. I use my jumbo ones to store makeup sponges and my long skinny ones to hold a travel-size amount of Q-Tips.

Just because your diagnostics come back with nothing, it doesn't mean nothing is wrong. Maybe you were checking the wrong thing, or the diagnostic tool wasn't sensitive enough. I have bradycardia episodes even though multiple cardiac tests caught nothing. I probably have endometriosis even though my gynecologist didn't see anything.

You can bring your comfort item to appointments, and it's generally a green flag when someone talks to you about it. I brought a Squishmallow turkey (named Ulana) to my laparoscopy and they had her wearing my mask when I woke up. I brought a Build-A-Bear cat (named Blinx) to another procedure and a nurse told me that everyone in the hall on the way to the procedure room saw him and were talking about how cute he was. Both of those ended up being positive experiences and every person who talked to me about my plushies was nice to me. If you don't feel comfortable having it visible to your provider during the appointment, you can hide it in your bag and just know it's there, or if you're in a video appointment, you can hold it below frame in your lap.

Get a small bucket, fill it with stuff, and stick it in your bed (if you have room for it). I filled a bucket with Ensure, juice boxes, oatmeal bars, lotion, my rescue inhaler, etc. in October 2023 in anticipation of my laparoscopy and I still have it in my bed as of January 2025.

If your disability impacts your impulse control (e.g. ADHD, bipolar disorder), you should consider setting limits around your spending -- no more than X dollars at a time, nothing online unless it's absolutely necessary, and so on. Or, run these purchases by someone you trust before committing to them; I use my BFF groupchat to help talk sense into myself when I buy stuff.

Feel free to add on what you've learned about disability!

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

transgender is a transID

literally. By definition.

Proud transgender people who hate other transID people are hypocrites

anti-transID is anti-transgender

anti-transID is transphobia

[lunarpawz]

youre not "pro consent" if you limit your definition of who can consent based on age or IQ.

if you see incest as a bad word then you are not pro-consang.

if you see incest as synonymous with rape, you are not pro-consang.

if see incest as something inherently traumatizing, not safe for children to see/know about, or something that needs a "tw incest" warning, then you are not pro-consang.

if you see incest as "usually abusive with some exceptions" then you are not pro-consang.

if you only support incestuous relationships as long as they dont have biological children, you are not pro-consang.

if youre "supportive of consang but not incest", then you are not pro-consang.

if you see incest as purely sexual, you are not pro-consang.

if you use terms like "incestuous abuse", you are not pro-consang.

if you dont see non-romantic/sexual incestuous relationships (such as queerplatonic, alterous, solaic, or even platonic) as "actually incest", you are not pro-consang.

if you only support incestuous relationships when you personally agree with the politics of the people involved, you are not pro-consang.

if you only support certain family members dating (such as cousins, siblins, etc) but not others, you are not pro-consang.

if you dont fully, 100%, no exceptions support ANY and ALL incestuous relationships and see them as consensual BY DEFAULT, you are not pro-consang.

you don't have to be socially acceptable. Be yourself unapologetically!

Transharmfuls who are stereotypically edgy, I love you!

Transharmfuls who struggle to transition, I love you!

Transharmfuls who don't want to fully transition, I love you!

Transharmfuls with "problematic" microlabels (transnªzi, transbigot, all that fun stuff), I love you!

Transharmfuls who are also paraphiles, I love you!

Transharmfuls who struggle to not be nice or sweet, I love you!

Transharmfuls, I love you!

I don't know why there's been a lot of unnecessary hatred towards specific transharmfuls. Let people live, man.

Nonsexual nudity needs to be fully accepted in our society. It should be legal in public. It should be allowed in media regardless of rating or target audience. There is nothing about the human body that is inherently harmful to see or inherently sexual. Reblog if you agree.
