I live in complete poverty and disability. Trying to make art to sell as prints as I am not getting commissions the way I used to. I am disabled and diabetic, immunocompromised from recent surgery, and I live in a traditional filipino house partially destroyed by storms and termites. I work 3 jobs, but they are all very unstable. Please please please, if you've ever derived joy from my art or insight from my posts or book recs, if you could pick up a print, send a tip, or subscribe to my patreon where I have 400+ exclusive drawings / early access, it would help keep me alive, in the most literal sense. I have been given a second chance at life, and I would like to keep living. Thank you so much

I really did just go through almost a decade of adult life like "yeah I've got at least a dozen mild to moderate medical problems completely unrelated to each other, bad luck I guess" until a physical therapist suggested I talk to my primary care doctor about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and. Well. It turns out I have that. I don't have a dozen problems, I have like four. Most of my problems were actually just manifestations of the EDS. What the hell.

Transcript:
Girl, just do it fat. Don’t wait until you’ve lost enough weight. You’re worthy of taking up the space that you fill. Live your life now. Don’t wait for some future version of yourself that you think will be more deserving. You have every right to pursue your passions and dreams just as you are today. Your worth isn’t tied to a number on a scale or the size of your clothes; it is inherent in who you are. You’re allowed to be seen, heard, and celebrated in whatever body you inhabit right now. Don’t let anyone or anything convince you for too long. So go out. Do it fat! Wear the clothes you love, pursue the opportunities that excite you, and live unapologetically. There’s no reason to put off living the life that you want, waiting for a moment that you’re not even sure will come. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled just as you are, and the world needs you exactly as you are today. Everything good that has ever happened to you, happened in this body. Girl, just do it fat.

It's very, very common for people to argue that "sex is still binary, outside of rare exceptions or deformities", which is usually how people justify a binary, immutable view of biological sex, but its so stupid and circular.
You can't define intersex people as "deformed" without a defined sex binary and you can't define a sex binary without excusing intersex people "deformed".

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

Begging y'all to stop using POC cultures and the entire intersex bodies against gender essentialists to "prove them wrong." You're not being progressive. You're not protecting trans people, intersex people, or people of color. You're not going anything good, actually. You don't care about us. We're just a tool to you.
