hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?

There's Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there's LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!

switchboard.lgbt and akt.org.uk are two i regularly support, and there’s always stonewall !

trans aid cymru is a mutual aid group rather than a charity but ill always shout them out for wales specific trans community support! they have a donation page here

just saw an article that said the cdc is reporting higher rates of depression bitch i wonder why. Let’s use our eyes and our brains today

In case anyone thinks this type of sanism doesn't happen on Tumblr

It's so hard when you're in a state where you're actually "schizo rambling" in public because everyone takes it as a joke. You can post "I'm having an psychotic episode from no meds" and people will reblog it as a joke... cuz this schizo stuff leaked off of 4chan and now we have to suffer for it... even videos of people having psychotic breaks go viral because people just think the state of being in psychosis is funny... please we are real people

And if you make jokes pretending to be schizophrenic or psychotic please consider what happens to us when you muddy the water about our experiences

There's been some people who aren't sure about my last paragraph, I just want to say I agree anyone can become psychotic. What I mean by muddy the waters is that when the entire joke is pretending to have a breakdown, people start to consider "having a breakdown" as a public performance and a joke... Even my really kind audience I get people thinking I'm joking if I post stuff about psychosis. So if you experience psychosis in the future you also risk being stuck unable to communicate that you are serious to those around you, but even if you don't, you're helping this ripple effect spread.

Thanks everyone for showing support and considering what's said in the post

NEW FISH JUST DROPPED

I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.

Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.

We made a whole-ass fish.

The reason this was accidental BTW is because they used paddlefish eggs as a negative control group for a breeding experiment on sturgeons because the scientists, quite naturally, assumed that they were SO unrelated it would be genetically impossible for them to mate. Like. I cannot stress enough to you how these creatures last related ancestors were

140 MILLION YEARS BACK.

If you don't know how far that is, that's basically the start of the cretaceous. Let me simplify that for you even further. Chimpanzees and humans seperated, what, 5 or 6 million years ago?

This is basically like if humans could hybridise with THESE THINGS.

This is the sort of thing that should be impossible. They used those eggs to be ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.

And then THEY GOT FISH OUT OF IT.

Like. You can quite clearly understand why they didn't think anything would happen. WE ARE MORE RELATED TO BLUE WHALES THAN THESE THINGS.

THE AMERICAN PADDLEFISH AND THE STURGEON ARE SO COMPLETELY UNRELATED THAT THIS IS NOT PLAYING GOD. IF ANYTHING THIS IS AN ACT OF GOD.

THE SCIENTISTS HAD NO BLAME IN THIS BECAUSE NOTHING LIKE THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED BEFORE

It sort of goes against the rules of genetics a bit.

Oh i forgot to add

THESE THINGS, FOR HYBRIDS, HAD A REALLY HIGH SURVIVAL RATING. LIKE 70% OF THEM SURVIVED.

To put that into perspective, getting a blue whale and a squirrel and trying to hybridise them is more sensible, and that wouldn't produce anything but getting you banned from science. Most animals that aren't plants can barely hybridise two degrees away from each other.

BUT THESE TWO ENTIRELY UNRELATED FISH create PERFECTLY HEALTHY HYBRIDS.

the scientists literally had to do the tests AGAIN just to be like "okay this is real right. This is actually like, not a fluke, this works right" and it worked again. They just Can!

It clearly wasn't a fluke. This is a fluke.

hey, did you know that the world is a better place because of your creations and art and writing, no matter how niche or how many people see it

mutuals if you were a video game character I would do every step of your questline and get your good ending

What would you do with non mutuals? Cause speedrunners are always killing me for my crystal scythe before doing my quest

Well now that I know you have a crystal scythe I'm definitely killing you for your crystal scythe

This is the only way I want to be convinced to do taxes: by manga.

Direct File was also still operational when I filed back in February, even though Elon had already said it was shutting down. The tax return that hit my bank account like a week later indicates otherwise, so I assume it's still working? If you live in an eligible state and have the right kind of tax return it's absolutely the best option!

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

The latest news out of DC is that everyone in the federal government, up to and including all the MAGA ghouls cannot fucking stand Elon Musk

i got a dehydration-related migraine over the weekend and while i did take some pain meds/have caffeine/etc., the biggest thing that seemed to help was singing musical theater songs with my partner in the kitchen, and like when they came back to the car from the grocery store before that, my headache dropped at least a point, so uh

apparently the power of gay can fix my migraines???
