The effort to turn every trans person into a political activist and place the burden of political leadership onto us is the same mindset as thinking trans lives are inherently political. Combating this means holding trans people to individual standards. If a trans person occupies political spaces, it should be because they have chosen to, not because people look at their transness and the "political implications" and it is all they can see

Usually I just save stuff like this to my drafts until I calm down but you know what, fuck it, I'm done.
Any so-called leftist who refuses to recognize that our options right now are "genocide abroad, progress at home" and "genocide abroad AND genocide at home" and that there is a significant difference between those two options is cordially invited to eat shit and die. We do not have time to entertain your anti-voting hopeless nonsense. A future in which we are able to move towards less death will always be preferable to the one in which we can't, and if you smug, sneering little clowns sacrifice that future on the altar of your own self-righteousness because you're too high on your own farts to realize how far up your own ass you are, I genuinely hope you fucking drown. Specifically, I hope you drown in the blood of the people who will die all over the world as a result of your bizarre refusal to work towards a future that doesn't include ethnic cleansing.
This is the United States. We sell war, here. I don't know how so many of you are only just now figuring that out, but you better get over your shock like yesterday because we are out of fucking time. We ran out of time when Reagan took office if not long before. You think not voting will improve any of this?
Keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming. Governments everywhere are (slowly) beginning to listen. Democrats are (slowly) beginning to listen. But Republicans never will, and if they seize power again next year (which they will absolutely do their damned to attempt), everything will be so, so much worse for everyone, everywhere. The work is slow and painful and imperfect but it will only get done if we show up and do the work, so keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming-- and when the time comes, you show up and vote for the future that lets us build a better tomorrow instead of just choking to death in the steaming shitpile of today.

youtube ads becoming first one 5-second ad then two 5-second ads in a row or one 15-second ad then a million unskippable ads in the middle of videos instagram quietly inserting one ad in-between every 5 or 10 ig stories then 2 in-between 4 ig stories not to mention the new reel- and explore page ads. a quiet tumblr ad banner at the top of your dash then photo ads in-between posts then video ads then video ads in-between every 3 or 5 posts that play audio automatically while youre trying to read a textpost. the most popular, paid subscription, news apps adding ads between their articles, then in articles, then paywalling new articles further with a new "news +" subscription and putting ads in those as well. once every 15 tweets there being an ad, then every 5, then theres also an ad if you scroll to the replies. you cant look at tweets without logging in anymore, theres just no option for anon scrolling. facebook ai mining on instagram, facebook ai profiles hyping up ai generated photos im fucking going insane ai temu ads and gallery app ads and printer app ads and higher subscriptions while still seeing ads and i cant fucking do this anymore!!!!! its fucking shameless and worst of all its silent and nobody talks about how half the things we see anymore are fucking ads and we dont own a single thing we pay for and companies can just randomly raise their prices through the roof and nobody says anything about it

It's £30 for 6 hours of work and you still don't want to pay because 'on Fiver you could have gotten it way cheaper?'
All right. Pretend I'm your new boss at the office. I'm only going to pay you £5 an hour because that's what your time and effort is worth to me, okay? You should be grateful, I know people who would do this sort of work for much less than what you're asking for.
Keep your damn money, but I'm not giving you the art.

i dont see enough things talk about the embarrassing parts of apd
i have people who are supper close to me call me stupid for not having good reading comprehension
i immediately forget things that are said, and when I am told to repeat the conversation, i get flustered
or i just immediately forget if someone is going to make me something or not, and then when everyone is eating and im not, i just sit there trying to figure out if i was suppsoed to make my own, share with someone, or if I was ever even included. just because i cant remember anymore
There is also the obvious one i see a lot about how you need someone to repeat themselves 4 or more times
but have you ever had to email your doctor after a phone call and have missed their actual name amd so now you're confusing everyone around?
there's also the "super fun"(/sarcastic) moments when you've been pronouncing a word wrong because you couldnt process how it would possibly be said until you hear it
Im just so tired of how embarrassed I feel with my disability it makes me want to hide in my room and not interact with people anymore in fear od embarrassing myself more

tw: vent. aphobia.
talking to allos is once again so exhausting. i wish there was a way to make them stop without outing myself (not that it’d have much effect, they don’t know and don’t care what being aroace feels like).
today, I feel so deeply exhausted and overwhelmed by the people around me. i wish everyone would stop feeling attraction, just so they could understand my life isn’t a joke.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of grippy sock/tight slipper? No; not for that reason. I’m kinda eh mentally but not necessarily in crisis (yet)…
The fake hardwood floors in this apartment are literal sensory hell to walk on. I can’t take my socks off and walk barefoot on them for two seconds without getting the worst fucking joint cramps in my hands and feet I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s like insta-gout, just add naked toes; but I don’t actually have gout (thank god)… it’s SOLELY from the texture of the floor. I’ve been wearing the same vampire bat socks for four days because I can’t bear to remove them unless my feet have been soaked in hot water before.
Also, the vampire bat socks for your amusement because the little guy is cute:
