NO TERFs NO TRANSMISOGYNISTS NO TRANSANDROBROS. DO NOT SEND ME CALLOUT POSTS.

hi everyone! thought I should make a pinned post with all my stuff in it 💖

→ I’m Claire, 28, from the Midwest US, lesbian demigirl femme dyke, she/they, and TME

→ disabled/chronically ill » I have fibromyalgia, narcolepsy/idiopathic hypersomnia*, chronic fatigue (not CFS as far as I know), chronic/intractable migraine, chronic daily headache, and sleep apnea, plus a lot of unexplained/smaller chronic issues

* apparently I can’t be formally diagnosed with narcolepsy bc I’m on SSRIs and they impact the narcolepsy testing too much for it to be accurate, but my dr says I most likely do have narcolepsy. it’s just IH on paper

→ neurodivergent » I have borderline personality disorder (in some form of recovery 10(!!!!!!!) years now) and C-PTSD; as well as autism and ADHD, and some mental health things not related to neurodivergence; also 10(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) years clean from self-harm as of 2/3/2026

→ I’m also quite certain I have dyscalculia, and I struggle with obsessive-compulsive behaviors like hoarding and body-focused repetitive behaviors (mainly dermatillomania and nail biting)

→ healthcare support worker, slowly getting a university degree in history with a minor in gender, sexuality, and women’s studies

→ I love the Sims, the Front Bottoms, dream pop, a bunch of other music, cross-stitching, the OG green Monster, history, women, subjects across the humanities spectrum, crossword puzzles, my animals, being a lesbian, collecting art, trinkets, fun earrings, and you

→ I don’t like chocolate, hot weather, math, horror movies, true crime, military history, weed, or migraines

→ I’m always open to good-faith questions about pretty much anything about me, I’m very open, especially about my historical (and current) struggles with my mental health and recovery process

→ hope I don’t need to say this but—no fuckin TERFs/radfems/“gender critical”/whatever y’all call yourselves now, no blank blogs, no weird old men with porn blogs (y’all know who you are), no racists, no homophobes, no general shitheads

→ I AM an adult (I turned 28 in Nov 2025) so if for any reason you’re uncomfortable with someone that age following you, please just DM me and I will unfollow right away!

→ I have an nsfw blog; ask off anon/dm me for the url if interested (21+ only, lesbian sub)

→ you’re all lovely and you’re all so loved 💖

TAGS

→ I try to tag triggering stuff as *trigger* tw and tw *trigger* (without the asterisks)

→ tag for art (visual, written, etc) that I really enjoyed: #art that makes me go \♥️o♥️/

→ tag for posts that just resonated with me (more emotional and/or upbeat): #​shinies for my nest

(examples: text posts that make me happy, funny stuff, fun media commentary, cute things)

→ tags for rly good posts that are more serious or practical: #save #keep (been doing these a while and I don’t feel like re-tagging everything lol)

(examples: book recommendations, computer help articles, recipes, smart people w/ smart commentary)

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

[ms-demeanor]

I've 100% replaced free acrobat with the firefox built-in and it works wonderfully for general office use and research/reading/viewing. It doesn't have robust redaction capabilities, but if you need to fill and sign and highlight a form it's actually much more intuitive than acrobat reader.

[theoutcastrogue]

My only problem with firefox's PDF viewer is that it only shows single page, and doesn't have a facing/book view option. (AFAIK!) So for reading, I use Sumatra PDF, which is free, open source, portable, and comically lightweight. (Adobe Acrobat is 426 MB, Sumatra is 10 MB.) No edits here though.

rating the ways my family members have referred to me to other people since coming out as nonbinary

my secondborn (my parents)

7/10

sounds vaguely historical but in the way that I'm going to be sent off to war to prevent a succession crisis

potentially confusing to the listener bc the average conversation has little relation to birth order

my sister's, [name] (my aunt)

9/10

direct and to the point!

still very clear about what our family relationship is. I think we can do away with many nouns if this is any indication

my young adult child (my mom)

4/10

it's giving "20 year old minor"

I promise you can just say my kid. it's ok I don't mind strangers thinking I'm like 5 bc that would make me a prodigy for doing stuff like my laundry and dishes in one day and honestly I could use that kind of support

my liberated one (my grandma)

10/10 THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

completely unclear what my relationship actually is to her. her personal oracle perhaps?

made immensely funnier by her immediately following it up with referring to my brother as her grandson.
