Im happy to live in a time where angel maxine and other trans people are advocating publicly In africa but id be lying if i said that I wasn't also very on edge about how much being public puts them at risk. The bravery it takes to be open and also knowing that their inboxes become confession booths

Dear Friends,

I am deeply grateful for the love and generosity you’ve shown me so far on this journey. It’s not just about the donations, it’s about the belief you’ve had in me and my healing process, and that means the world.

Thanks to your support, I’ve been able to cover:

• MRI scans and monthly tests to monitor the progression of my condition.

• Physiotherapy and therapeutic massages, which provided temporary relief from the intense pain and kept me going.

• A variety of pain management strategies, recommended by my doctors, who tried to delay surgery as I was considered quite young for such a major procedure.

Over the years, I’ve managed the pain with prescribed medications, including painkillers, alongside these therapies. However, the excessive intake of painkillers has now started to take a toll on my body, recent lab results show that my kidney and liver parameters have been affected, making this surgery no longer optional but an urgent necessity.

The surgery scheduled for January 30th, is critical not only to relieve my pain but also to protect my overall health and allow me to regain my total mobility. This will mean the world to me, as I will finally be able to walk, dance, and live a life free of constant physical limitations.

I am reaching out to you again for support. I need your help to cover the remaining surgery costs, post-operative care, and rehabilitation. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to a life where I can move freely and without pain.

If you’ve already donated, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get this far. Please consider sharing my story with your networks to help me reach this goal. Your kindness and compassion mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to come back stronger, ready to advocate, perform, and inspire in even greater ways.

With love, gratitude, and hope,

Angel Maxine"

And according to her instagram she did have the surgery on that date. She hasn't given an update on generally recovery yet, most of her focus is on #KilltheBill rn i think

I take immense schadenfreude in Elon Musk spending $25 million to try to influence an election in Wisconsin only for the candidate he was backing to lose by a larger margin than was predicted before Musk got into the race. Like how tf do you dump that much money into a state supreme court election and get not only nothing out of it but LESS than nothing. That's a truly impressive level of failure. I'm watching Elon become the most hated man in America like the Sickos yes hahaha yes comic

Anonymous asked:

what do you think is the answer to dealing with the stereotypical “roommate won’t do dishes bc of trauma/sensory issues”? like sure that’s possible it’s difficult & people should be aware of their needs, but when it begins affecting other people, i feel like someone has to consider other solutions—i.e. using paper plates instead of ones they have to wash. it’s also complicated when racial & gender dynamics come in to play. and then when i think on myself as an autistic white trans guy how can i both recognize where i need support but balance it with not recreating bad dynamics? I’m just not sure how we have these conversations while still validating folks experiences & dismissing their problems. we all deserve help but we also can so easily overly rely on others & burn them out especially if we have privilege over them. disability, especially invisible disabilities often become a shield for white folks & men it feels like to get away with shitty behaviors

I honestly think that a big problem people encounter in navigating such issues is that they make what is ultimately going to have to be a personal negotiation of limits and needs into something that is far more symbolic and abstract. it's almost impossible not to, if you care about social justice issues, and I think there are good intentions when people try to be mindful of how race and gender alongside interplay with this stuff, but in practice a lot of times people use their political ideals as a reason to argue against their own feelings or to not be honest about their feelings. people feel like they don't have the right to say that they cannot do something or need support, or that they're pissed off, in an individual level relationship, because they are treating both themselves and their roommate or partner as a symbol of an entire group. I think a person has to be able to tell their roommate when they are being an asshole. I think a person should just be straight up if doing the dishes is something that's not generally going to happen for them -- in unmasking autism I profile Reese Piper, an autistic sex worker who just straight up tells her prospective roommates that doing the dishes is not something she can do, so then they know what they are getting into and can work around it. honest conversations about what a person is and is not capable of and what they need really can vanquish a lot of so-called weaponized incompetence and other domestic issues long before they occur. but all parties involved have to be operating based on good faith. unfortunately not everyone is, sometimes people use their identities or their roommates guilt around structural oppression in order to pressure them to do things that they cannot do, and conversely it is very common for a white or TME roommate to weaponize anti blackness or transmisogyny against a roommate who speaks up about any inequity and portray them as the aggressive one. but I think before somebody gets way way too much in their own head about how a particular conflict looks or what structural issues might be relevant in the aggregate, they really have to start from a baseline level of self-acceptance and the ability to articulate both which household tasks are hard or impossible for them, and when they are fucking cheesed at their roommate for not doing what seems like their fair share. if you feel like you can't name those things, you're never going to actually have a respectful functioning relationship.

what my thearapist doesnt understand when she tells me to just do sth productive in the 30 minutes it takes for my food pill to kick in ..... is tht the domperidone makes that impossible. i become ravishingly hunger and unable to focus on anything. its like trying to herd cats

Sonic's burger store has recognized the strategic importance of America's drink infrastructure and implemented tamper seals to prevent your large Diet Dr. Pepper being poisoned by ISIS lone wolfs or seditious court advisors

im the type of person where the shit i reblog always gets notes from ppl but my weirdo posts r lucky to get like .... five. kinda funny tbh. n then occasionally ill post sth n it gets a bunch of notes which im glad about like a call for fundraising. or ill add to a reblog and apparently my addition got a lot of attn which i only know bc sometimes ppl add comments folks dont wanna on the reblog so they reblog directly from me.... which i feel like is a very autistic experience.

I’ve always been a pretty good liar. As an adult I’ve come to a moral place in which I don’t use that skill set unless it will explicitly benefit someone. But when I was a kid all bets were off.

I think tiny child me was doing their little autistic best but recognized that some situations would be best navigated by lying as telling the truth never netted positive results. Whether it was because my needs often went unmet or ignored, or because I didn’t see any reason not to lie if it would be more favorable, I’m not sure.

This is the story of my proudest lie. The best lie I ever did. A lie that looking back I still go, damn, I was eight.

Our story begins in second grade. I was eight. My school was having a book fair and I spent my small stipend on Gulliver’s Travels. No idea why. Lacking further funds I wandered the fair and came upon the greatest sight known to man. Frog erasers. They were so cute and I was extremely into animals of all kinds.

The whimsy. Who could have known they made erasers in such wonderful shapes? I mourned that I’d spent my money already, and played quietly with the little frogs in their bin. That’s when I was approached by a few other kids from my class.

I didn’t know most of them very well, but enough that it was civil when they asked me, “Are you going to buy those frogs?”

“I’d like to,” I admitted, “but I spent all my money.”

“Why don’t you steal them?”

“I thought about that, but I don’t have pockets.” Indeed, stealing had crossed my mind but it had been a brief temptation. I wasn’t even scandalized that the other girls suggested it.

“Caitlin has pockets,” the leader of the pack said. And indeed, Caitlin in her purple overalls did have pocket space for two frogs. So Caitlin and I became partners. My role in the escapade was just... wanting frogs and walking out with her. We stole two frogs, a yellow and a purple, and united by the misdeed we played together with them at recess despite not really being friendly prior.

After lunch I was called from class to the library. The principal herself was there waiting for me. She had a somber air, almost mournful that she needed to punish me. It was self evident to me that I was here for frog crimes. Caitlin had cracked and taken the fastest route to forgiveness- snitching on an accomplice. Despite the fact that my role was just: wanted frogs, I knew I was going to be in trouble.

Now, I could have told the truth. Pulled a Caitlin and ratted on the girl who told us to steal them. But clearly I’d still be in trouble for having gone along with the morally bereft plan. I was mad at Caitlin for telling but not enough to foist the onus back into her.

“Do you know why you’re here?” The principal asked kindly.

“Is it about the frogs?”

“Yes, Caitlin told us you stole the frogs.”

I quivered my lip and drew myself up indignantly. “I didn’t steal them!”

She blinked at my vehemence but since I looked near tears she carefully asked, “What happened?”

“I really wanted the frogs, but I didn’t have any money. So I asked the librarian if I could take them and bring the money tomorrow! But she was really busy and lots of people were talking to her, and she said yes! But maybe she was saying yes to someone else? And I thought it was to me but Caitlin didn’t, but I was going to bring money tomorrow!”

The principal. Was flummoxed. This was a situation in which I clearly thought I’d done no wrong, in which she couldn’t prove I had done anything wrong, and which the librarian would almost certainly not be able to weigh in. She regarded me not with suspicion but rather vaguely confused as to how to handle me.

I got off with a slight warning that I should pay for things before taking them, despite not having been the one to take things in the first place, and the frogs were confiscated.

I was vaguely worried they’d call my parents but years later when I admitted the story to my mom as an adult she laughed herself sick and said she’d never gotten a call.

Magical girl transformation where I look exactly the same by the end except my posture and speech are different and I have to be reminded of several details on the conversation we just had

As the host of a system myself I gotta agree with ya there

Breaking news: System posts joke about systemhood, reported to Funnier As A System. More at 11, now back to Jennifer with the weather. [The newswoman visibly slumps for a moment before straightening up and continuing, the camera does not cut.] Thanks Jennifer, we're gonna see a cold front moving up the-

i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0
