fanfic fandom is just as likely to turn on ‘disruptors’ as the knitting hobby is -- witness what happened to the 2 techbros who bought knitting.com, thought they’d be able to leverage that, and were eaten by insulted, angry knitters like a pair of oxen in a river of piranha

[spoonie-isms]

I wish they taught a class on what being a normal human is like

Like, the normal amount of pain is zero. The normal amount of wishing you weren’t ever born is zero. Food isn’t supposed to itch or hurt*. Going numb (any time outside sitting in one position too long) isn’t normal. Passing out isn’t normal. Normal people take like 10-20 minutes to fall asleep, and sleep like 6-9 hours. You’re supposed to get one period a month, which is manageable with a few tampons or pads a day and lasts 3-6 days.

These are all things I had to find out later, like a moron.

(fibromyalgia, depression, allergies, cataplexy, narcolepsy, PCOS and endometriosis)

*spicy food is supposed to hurt?

[spoonie-isms]

Sneezing when you see bright light? Normal.

Sneezing hurting your ribs so bad it makes breathing hard? Not normal.

[spoonie-isms]

It’s normal to hear a fluttering in your ears when you yawn. It’s not normal for your ears to hurt so much your teeth hurt too.

It’s normal to sleep badly and wake up sore every now and then. It’s not normal to lay awake because pain is keeping you up.

It’s normal to be nervous to see a doctor. It’s not normal to put off care because of your anxitey

[spoonie-isms]

So many times I’ve realized something about my body is super messed up when I’m like “you know how when X, Y?” And all my friends are like…no. I don’t experience X.

[tea-and-spoons]

A couple good additions from the notes:

(image description: screenshot of a reply to this post from fiddlysticks that says “Took me up until very recently to learn headaches aren’t supposed to feel heavy and fuzzy, make you extra sensitive to light and sound, be debilitating, and last about 3 days lol)

(image description: screenshot of a reply to this post from raw-squid that says “Also like period cramps arent supposed to literally wake you up, even with the strongest over the counter painkillers :) )

Some additions from my own experience:

-Crunchy foods like toast or pizza are apparently not supposed to cut up the inside of your mouth and make you bleed- that’s unusually fragile skin and might indicate a connective tissue disorder

-Wearing jeans or bulky jackets isn’t supposed to make you feel like you’re dying- that’s a sensory processing difference, more specifically tactile defensiveness

-Ribs are not supposed to dislocate when you laugh too hard (connective tissue disorder again)

-Waking up exhausted every single day isn’t supposed to happen- could be any number of underlying conditions

-Standing up is not supposed to cause your heart rate to skyrocket and you to get super dizzy- that’s dysautonomia, anemia, or something similar

-Constantly sitting like a pretzel as a teen or adult mean nothing, but if other people are baffled by how you’re comfortable in those positions, you might be hypermobile or neurodivergent or both!

-The normal amount of seeing double is almost none!  And even if you’ve seen double your whole life, the eye doctor can still prescribe you glasses that fix it

-Have a few “floaters” in your vision is normal, having constant showers of them that interfere with your vision is not

Basically, just because everyone in your family experiences something doesn’t mean it’s normal, it might mean there’s something genetic going on and you should ask a “control group” friend

[audkitty]

• Food isn’t supposed to make your mouth itch. That’s an allergy

• Coffee isn’t supposed to put you to sleep

• Your period is not supposed to be more painful than labor (found that out with child #2)

• Your friends do not hate you. Yes, even when they’re too busy to answer your text. That’s RSD

• 100 and 1000 are not the same number. Most people don’t transpose numbers regularly. Most people do not find Algebra easier than arithmetic because variables mean less numbers to accidentally mix up. That’s dyscalculia

• Lights in the distance should be round. If they stretch like stars have your eyes checked for astigmatism

[spoonie-isms]

Everyone always talked about halos and I didn’t realize until I saw a picture of normal vs astigmatism to realize how much it affects me. The points take up my whole field of vision, top to bottom.

[feralphoenix]

most people cant hear the buzz/hum of large household appliances or lights being on, thats autism

if it takes you an hour or more to fall asleep on average thats probably either autism or adhd, but could be other stuff, if meds dont improve it go to a sleep specialist to see

some people simply do not have 24 hour circadian rhythms. if you find the time you are asleep vs awake every day slowly crawls forward until for some periods you are nocturnal and then after another while you are diurnal again, this is probably you

spicy food causes your mouth to be more sensitive to heat, so if youre feeling pain/discomfort thats not heat related while eating it youre probably allergic to something in the meal

if you find yourself wishing you could be a different gender you can just try that to see if you like it

most people can just do things. if you feel completely unable to do something even if you want/need to and have to trick yourself into it, thats executive dysfunction. could be adhd could be some other mental illness

if caffeine puts you to sleep thats also adhd

if you regularly completely forget the plots things you saw/read/played a year or more ago/have similar memory loss issues with other things in your life, that too is almost definitely adhd (but if your memory loss is more extensive there could be other factors too)

[themysteriousinternetentity]

The normal odds of making it through any given meal without vomiting immediately afterwards are 100%.

[penrosesun]

Going back to periods, but if you have bleeding so heavy it soaks at least one pad or tampon an hour for more than two hours at any point during your period, or if you ever pass clots during your period that are larger than a quarter, that’s not normal - it’s menorrhagia and you should bring it up with your doctor, because it could be an indication that you have any number of medical conditions, ranging in severity from uterine polyps and hormone imbalances, all the way to bleeding disorders and cancer. “But all the women in our family have heavy periods” is not an excuse – all the women in your family probably aren’t bleeding that much, and if they are, then all the women in your family might have a hereditary hormone problem or bleeding disorder.

mom can you come get me things are getting bad again and i feel every insult like a sharp tooth and i feel my dreams rotting under my fingernails and i feel too much all the time or else i feel nothing at all and it doesn’t seem to matter if i drink and dance and party or if i stay at home curled up to study

mom are you sure when i was born i was a person and not just a vortex. always hungry. always swallowing. no matter how much goes in me i always end up empty.

[inkskinned]

hi mom it’s me again. it’s mother’s day and it’s been five years since i wrote this and i’m still sitting on the floor and still writing poetry but i’ve moved to a different city. you and i are making plans to go see the lilacs and i keep thinking about this one wednesday where i’d had a class talking about eulogies and it made me sad and sick so i called you to say i love you and i appreciate everything you’ve done for me & you were so worried by that. by the fact that i never tell you how much i love you. you got scared because you thought it meant something bad was happening.

i know it’s just how our family is. we never talk about this kind of thing. we show up for each other but never say it and i should say it more. i should tell you that i know you checked and when you saw that you’ve given birth to a vortex and not a child you still said: well this thing that is always lonely and hungry and sad and empty…. this is still mine.

rabbit mothers pull out the fur from their chest to line a warren and i keep thinking about how sometimes you talk about the ways you’re hungry too, how your teeth hurt with desire, how you gave up your fur to line our home and how we walked with our hands on the wall. i don’t even think it’s that you’re my mom i think it’s that you’re you, and that everyone needs a person like you in their life, or otherwise the whole thing catches on fire. and i think maybe you saw my bellybutton and you saw the ways i am you-but-younger and i remember one time we were in the kitchen and you closed your eyes and said your deepest regret was passing your depression on, that you’d never wanted any of us to feel something like this, a hollowness that carries no sound or echo

i wake up spitting out fur and i wake up kicking my feet and i am finding a timid kind of rabbit peace. good morning mom i’m going to come get you so we can walk in the sunshine and i am going to come get you so we can build a soft home in braided hair and i am going to come get you to tell you i am sorry for being ravenous and then we are both going to stretch our legs out on the grass and we are going to eat until all the little angry embers in our blood turn into diamonds and we are going to eat until the numbness feels like a half-remembered song and we are going to eat until we are both full to the brim so that when we turn our cheeks to the sky it feels like the happiness could slosh out if we move too quick. we will eat, and it will be tomorrow, and we will both make a point to clean out the rot from our hearts. after all, it’s spring.

would love to see more non-sexualized nudity like this in art. this, right here? this is every woman: just at home relaxing with her tits out. she doesn’t have her tits out to please anybody but herself–she’s lounging around, she’s hanging out with her cat, she has her tits out just because. that’s a whole mood. that’s relatable, realistic, and very human. and it’s so superior to the massive amount of art we have of women frolicking around with their backs arched to appeal to the male gaze. lady just doesn’t wanna wear a bra. just wants to lounge around with a book and a cat and her tits just hanging. respect

[banahbanah]

So I was trying to figure out what the artist was portraying here or what was going on and I couldn’t find a lot of info but I did find More

Naked ladies vibing with books and food seems to be her thing and I’m here for it.

[antique-scarecrow]

This makes an incredible and resounding amount of sense

“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

I’m sorry, I’m reblogging this twice in a row it is that important

Stand up and say it again for the people in the back row. 

[drtanner]

This is all completely true and correct, of course, but on the topic of changes that irreversibly change a child’s body, prithee, go and talk to a fucking ballet dancer.

If you start ballet at 16, you are too old to ever expect to be able to do it seriously. If you start at 12 you’re too old. If you want to do ballet as a serious thing, as a career, you need to start at like eight years old or even younger, because your bones and joints need to be trained while they’re still flexible in order for you to be able to perform many of the required motions and stances of ballet. In particular, you need to be able to perform turnout of the hips, but all of your joints in your legs and feet will be affected, and this irreversibly changes your body.

And yet! Nobody talks about this as a negative thing! Little girls say they want to be ballet dancers, and if their parents have enough money, that’s what they get to be! Does it cause problems in later life? Yeah, sometimes! Often, even! But nobody talks about that because it’s a thing for cis people to do and so naturally it’s all fine!

Go and talk to a fucking ballet dancer.

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

[spoondrifts]

van ronk is quoted as saying about the riots: "as far as I was concerned, anybody who’d stand against the cops was all right with me."
