I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.
Truth
As Elfkin, TARDISkin, and Gallifreyan kin, I autisticaly ask you take care of yourself.
You mater too
Trans
I hope trans people will not be angry with me for writing trans instead of transgender, but in my defence it was too long and this one looks cleaner and simpler...
The Rani's introduction is so funny
She was just doing her own thing, conducting her unethical experiments (which she had been getting away with until now) and in comes the Master messing with her things and trying to rope her into helping with his latest scheme against the Doctor
She was doing great on her own! She was ruling her own planet, stealing the chemical she needed from random humans in history, which not even the Time Lords were aware of. But the MOMENT the Master and the Doctor get involved everything goes to shit
I am pretty sure the Doctor only got involved because the Master got involved.
I'm equally sure that the Master got involved to try to get the Doctor involved.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that Rani wants to punt them both.
lmao you knowww we were annoying as all hell to Rani she hates mine & the Master's gutssss XD we are pests >:D
I absolutely remember you two dragging her into the most absurd things. For some reason I want to say it was mostly the Master master dragging her into something to get your attention once you two both decided to go renegade.
And you may be a pest, but you are one of my favorite pests that has ever existed 😊

Happy pride month to transfem alters in transmasc bodiess
Happy pride month to transmasc alters in transfem bodies
Happy pride month to systems who cant be openly plural in fear of not being allowed to medically transition
It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
Happy pride month from an extremely odd, queer, alter human (otherkin and fictionkin)🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
“we need more weird queers!” you guys can barely handle a hairy woman
and frankly? some of you struggle with hairy men.
Affirmations for the unsure alterhumans and maybehumans:
You can still be alterhuman even if you acknowledge parts or all of your humanity.
You can still be alterhuman even if you find comfort in human rituals, culture, etc.
You can still be alterhuman even if you display human behaviors and characteristics.
You can still be alterhuman if you look or act nothing like your 'type.
You can still be alterhuman without dysphoria, euphoria, or both.
You can still be alterhuman even if you never plan to transition or present physically or socially as alterhuman.
You can still be alterhuman without blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on gear.
You can still be alterhuman even if you aren't queer (surprisingly common misconception by the way!)
You can still be alterhuman even if you don't find the furry community appealing.
You can still be alterhuman even if there weren't 'signs' of alterhumanity in your childhood.
You can still be alterhuman even if you find aspects of alter/nonhumanity uncomfortable or scary (and this may change as you discover yourself!)
You can still be 100% alterhuman and 100% human at the same time.
You can still be alterhuman without misanthropy.
You can still be alterhuman without a spiritual connection to nature or a religion pertaining to nature.
Even if you aren't alterhuman, it's okay to be human.
Even if you aren't alterhuman forever, it's okay to recognize your humanity afterwards.
No seriously, it's okay to be human in some aspects or all aspects.
You don't have to constantly strive to be the 'most nonhuman thing possible' and you don't have to try and reinvent the wheel coming up with a new term thats 'more nonhuman' or 'further than humanity' than the last.
There are infinite ways to be alterhuman and you may never find a term to define yourself. You might not even find a species to label yourself as.
On the same coin you may find that your experience is painfully common, or not 'original' enough to warrant a 'true' experience. You have to remember that it's okay to be one of the gazillion black wolf psychological therians out there and that it is functionally the same (and has the same moral weight) as having brown eyes.
It's okay to be unlabeled.
It's okay if you wouldn't be considered alterhuman by the old standards from the days when alterhumanity was mostly on independent forum boards.
Grills and grilling aren't relevant anymore and it's better to block people that try to bring that back.
But it is never okay to lie to yourself to fit into a box that's too small for you.
due to bad opinions in my notes: shout out to aromantics who are fucking exhausted. society can feel extremely arophobic and amatonormative at times and sometimes the best you can do is try to get through situations without losing parts of yourself. The task of changing these deeply ingrained beliefs about relationship hierarchies and the status romantic relationships have in our society is a monumental one and it does not rest solely on your shoulders as one individual. There are moments where you can be boldly and loudly aromantic and there are moments where it is better to protect yourself. There are people who are happy to educate others and there are people who just want to live their lives without taking on that responsibility. It's okay. get some rest.
Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Definitely taken off of Pinterest but the original person is still credited at the bottom of the picture
Feel free to ask or answer, just remind me with the question is when you send an ass if you decide to.
Adhd is a very interesting existence
Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.
Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you
Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
Thank u for sharing this with us
"Age in bio or i'll kill you"
You better pay close attention to the first one, and read it very carefully. I will quiz you on it later.
So much good tags
anonymously make an assumption about me and i'll confirm/deny it
Just remind me the game exists.
ADHD and a busy schedule is a hell of a combination.
Also be kind
For millions of people managing type 2 diabetes, mornings begin the same way — a needle, a dose, and a quiet mental note to do it all again
For millions of people managing type 2 diabetes, mornings begin the same way — a needle, a dose, and a quiet mental note to do it all again tomorrow.
That routine just changed.
On March 26, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Awiqli (insulin icodec-abae), developed by Novo Nordisk, as the first and only once-weekly basal insulin ever approved for adults with type 2 diabetes in the United States.
This is not a minor update to an existing drug.
It is the first entirely new class of basal insulin to reach U.S. patients in more than two decades.
Instead of injecting insulin every single day, people with type 2 diabetes using Awiqli will only need one shot per week, on the same day, every week.
That means reducing from 365 injections a year down to just 52.
For anyone who has ever felt the weight of that daily ritual — the anxiety of forgetting, the physical discomfort, the constant reminder that their body needs help — this approval represents something much bigger than a dosing schedule.
It represents relief.
How the Drug Actually Works
Understanding why this injection lasts a full week requires a quick look inside the body.
Most traditional basal insulins are absorbed into the bloodstream and begin breaking down within 24 hours, which is why patients need a fresh dose every day to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Awiqli works differently.
Its active ingredient, insulin icodec-abae, is engineered to loosely attach to a blood protein called albumin, which is found naturally and abundantly in the bloodstream.
This attachment creates a slow-release reservoir.
Instead of flooding the system and fading fast, the insulin releases gradually and consistently over an entire seven-day period, keeping blood sugar in a healthy range around the clock...
What Comes Next
Awiqli is not standing alone in this space for long.
Eli Lilly is developing its own once-weekly basal insulin, called efsitora alfa, which is currently in late-stage clinical trials.
If that drug also earns FDA approval, it would give patients and doctors two once-weekly options to choose from, allowing for personalized decisions based on a patient’s health profile, insurance coverage, and individual response.
The broader direction of travel in diabetes care is unmistakable.
Fewer injections, smarter formulations, and better integration with digital tools like continuous glucose monitors and insulin-tracking apps are all converging toward a future where managing diabetes requires less daily mental effort without becoming any less medically precise...
A Small Shot With Large Implications
It is easy to look at a once-weekly injection and see only a scheduling change.
But the science behind Awiqli, the scale of the ONWARDS trials, and the consistent satisfaction reported by patients all point toward something that matters far more than convenience.
Diabetes management has always asked a lot of people.
It asks for daily vigilance, daily discipline, and a daily willingness to confront one’s own condition, sometimes in uncomfortable or inconvenient circumstances.
Anything that reduces that load, without reducing the quality of care, is worth taking seriously.
For the more than 37 million Americans living with diabetes, and the hundreds of millions more around the world, a simpler weekly routine could mean the difference between a treatment plan that works on paper and one that actually works in a person’s life.
That is the real significance of what the FDA approved on March 26, 2026.
Not just a new drug.
A new way of keeping people healthy, one week at a time.

Poem by the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, who was sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, as that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
this poem was translated by eileen chengyin chow, or @chowleen on twitter and tumblr! im not sure why the translators attribution was specifically cut out here:
A young friend told me he came across my translation on tumblr. He was a bit indignant that someone had removed my name from a poem.
Me: my Tumblr is still out there?? Anyhow, I took a look. It's been years. I do miss Tumblr from the olden days: poems, art, photos, fandom, cats, even the hentai.
did... did someone think that "trans." here meant that Xin Qiji (1140-1207) became trans and is now referred to as Eileen?? like was this the weirdest example of thoughtless transphobia ever, or do people just not respect translators
