i'm JD, mostly just here to promote accessibility and talk about the ttrpgs i gm.

important stuff

ways you can support me, if you'd like

  • buy something from my etsy shop - I make paper flowers and a lot of them are pride themed! I also do custom orders. Etsy is my main source of income right now so buying something from my shop helps me out a ton!
  • buy me a book off my wishlist - most of these are books that i've already read from the library and loved! rereading beloved books is my love language. a few are books that are harder to find / continuations from series that i love.
  • tip me on kofi - tips are super appreciated <3

[Video description: a video captioned, "The moment when he realised" with a laughing emoji. In the video, a person walks up to a gray horse in a pasture and goes through the motions of putting a halter on, except they aren't holding anything. Despite this, the horse reacts as if a halter is being put on him, most notably by flattening his ears when the crown piece is supposedly put over his head. After this, the person walks away with their hand slightly held out and in a fist, as if holding the halter rope and leading the horse somewhere. The horse follows for over ten seconds, then slowly comes to a halt and looks in the direction of the camera. He shakes his head to confirm he is indeed not wearing anything. End description.]

I own the night.

Affirmations bc i'm disabled & struggle with internalized ableism:

I am doing good. My goals are mine, and I don't need to compare myself to other people.

I am inherently worthy as a human being, regardless of my productivity (or lack thereof).

I am allowed to rest, and it is okay that I need to rest almost 24/7 because of my disabilities. Rest is not a break to be earned; it's a need, and everyone's needs are different.

I am allowed to enjoy things simply because they make me happy. My joy is a human need, not something to be commodified.

I have so many strengths: thoughtfulness, compassion, gentleness, creativity, etc. These are the core of who I am.

I am loved and cared for. There are so many people like me across the world, and any time I feel lonely, there is another disabled person somewhere feeling the same. In the same vein, there are disabled activists who are fighting for us; being a voice for people who can't make their voice heard, or don't even know it's an option.

I am not alone <3 And neither is the person reading this. We are worthy, valued, and important. No ifs, ands, or buts.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

ID start

Two pictures of a person modelling jeans with tomato patches/designs on it, they are various shades from deep red, to orange with a few pale green ones. The pictures are of the front and back of the jeans, the jeans are blue and the warm tones of the the tomatos stand out.

ID end

in two days i will be in the woods with my girlfriend in a treehouse and we will have a private salt water hot tub and this is the only thing i care about rn

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

hello! how are you. this is a public service announcement to remind y'all that there are flower crowns in my etsy shop. 🌺👑

[image description copied from alt text: a selfie of me, a white queer person with short brown hair and glasses, touching the side of my face and smiling. I'm wearing a flower crown of paper roses in the trans pride colors.]

my gf: (in a completely different room) … what is that sound? are you eating a hot potato?
