Good morning, Morgan

Calomyxa metallica by Sarah Lloyd

your stitches are good, but not the best - your hands are twitching to the beat of your heart. but they're going to be perfect soon, whether you want them to be or not.

little thing i go through every day

being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.

we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car

Hey OP (or anyone else actually, not just OP), we're genuinely curious: has anyone ever come up with how to assist those that are bedbound or housebound because of being disabled/disordered and do legitimately need delivery, specific kinds of transport, stuff like that to survive? Right now a lot of those folks rely on walmart deliveries and stuff which is shitty but there isn't a better choice, which is incredibly unfortunate.

We don't usually see an answer to this question and we refuse to let eugenics be the answer so we would appreciate if someone can explain to us if anything has been thought of.

I think "anti-car" doesn't have to mean "no cars ever" it should mean "cars should not be the primary means of transportation when other solutions are available." It's okay if there are still roads and delivery services and taxis and things of that nature - we're not trying to abolish cars completely. What needs to end is the over-reliance on cars when much more efficient solutions exist for needs like commuting, intercity/crosscountry travel, etc. We do not need every city to have huge multi-lane roads cutting through the center of town. People should not need to sit in highways full of traffic burning huge amounts of gas for an hour or more every day to get to and from work. We do not need to build sprawling housing developments composed of acres and acres of single-family homes with no mixed-use zoning and no bus service.

no shade meant to @anendoandfriendo, genuinely, but your comment kinda came off as sort of a condescending non-sequitur/thought terminating cliche here.

i absolutely agree that it's important to ask "how will this include/accommodate disabled people?" and to not accept eugenics in the name of "the environment";

however i think that the original post doesn't really leave out disabled people (despite, i guess, the wording "go for a walk"? idk?)

a disabled person who is a wheelchair user, or home/bed bound, and relies on things like deliveries to survive is still someone who benefits from a reduction in reliance on cars!

the delivery industry is only dominated by couriers driving cars because our world has been built to rely on cars. believe it or not, delivery systems can and will adapt to communities designed for walking, biking, and public transit.

wheelchair users will enjoy safer, more navigable environments with cleaner air when cars are not the default.

the reliance on cars is a product of capital, and it has negatively shaped our environment for too long. transitioning away to alternate forms of transit benefits everyone!

Seeing a lot of trans faux-progressives talking about breaking the law (in relation to diy hrt) like it will instantly end your life and you will never get away with it, and its very irritating to me because if you have read some queer history you know people have lived long, fulfilling lives outside the bounds of the law in our community since we started banding together. It was at one point just outright illegal to even be gay or trans in public and yet we held rallies and shows and events and we still went to the bars and we demanded our dignity. Do not let the law strip you of what you consider important, especially if it's transition

so many psych diagnoses work as post-hoc forms of gender (re)assignment, not in a literal way but in an interpersonal one - for obvious examples: borderline pd indexing a violent excess of 'femininity,' aspd a violent excess of 'masculinity'. the gendering of "types" of autism likewise make it convenient to assert intrinsic "neurological" roots for gendered behavior, a kind of gotcha against the increasing consensus that, um, that's (neurological gendered behavior) obviously not a thing.

now that the stereotype of autistics as hyper-rational, emotionless, and rigid has been done to death and thoroughly disproven, there needs to be some way to integrate this growing wave of late dx'd autistics who are or were once women/girls into a framework that clings so desperately to binary gender as its own diagnostic logic

see also: the idea parroted even by some 'progressives' that 'obviously so many autistic people are trans bc autism is intrinsically linked to Gender/Sexual Deviance'

See also: the Venn diagram between ABA abuse and conversion abuse being the same damn circle

As it turns out, gender is a series of repeated social behaviors performed in — hey… judith? Did you just come out of my walls?

Switching between these every day
