we decided to do an actual system intro lol

There are more of us than we realized bc we forgot to count 😂😭

[dysfunctionaldragons]

This is a very detail-less version 😅

But I’m so good at ruminating -🪐

[dysfunctionaldragons]

I can’t use period cups, or discs. Yes I know they’re better for the environment, i wanna use them. I also can BARELY use tampons.

Why? Becuase my body FREAKS put and I get HORRIFIC cramping from these products. i’ve tried so many different kinds and i just can’t.

Does anyone else experience this?

So we’re doing ournfirst wheelchair fitting next week!

If any more experienced wheelchair users wanna leave us tips in the comments (for wheelchairs in general or just the fitting lol) we’d really appreciate it

(edit: I forgot to specify the the of wheelchair, i’m getting a manual chair for long outings and such, bc I’m chronically ill)

“A pop can tab opener? Who needs that?”

It’s not for you.

“Why would anyone get a hairdryer holder, just use your hands to hold it.”

It’s not for you.

“Portable collapsible stools are proof of how lazy this generation is getting.”

It’s not for you.

“A chord assist for a guitar? Why don’t people just use their fingers like everyone else?”

IT’S NOT FOR YOU.

Fun fact! Not everything is about or for you!

PT: Fun fact! Not everything is about or for you! End PT

does anyone else with multiple food allergies/sensitivities get anxiety about it? I don’t mean like, the anxiety of getting more (although i have that too) mean the overwhelming anxiety of ’i can’t eat that’ The anxiety that comes from years of being borderline neglected bc people just forgot. The anxiety of ’what if I can’t eat tonight?’ For me it goes with having hypoglycemia, I have quick and dire consequences. I also have arfid, which makes my list of edible foods shorter. And so i am territorial over the foods I can eat. I get scared going to events or restaurants. I hide food places to make sure I can eat. I take over meal prep to ensure everyone gets fed. I’m very aware of food allergies. I’ve never heard anyone talk about this, food scarcity when you’re surrounded by food. So here i am lol, ranting into the void again. this is a deep, all encompassing fear of having a base need go unmet. Yes, I’ve never been without food. But I’ve been without food that won’t make me ill, and I’ve been without safe food.

Mast Cell is the fucking worst.

so, I think we need to move away from saying humane. Because have you seen how people treat other humans? It’s terrible.

on top of that, saying humane is just human centric. It implies that humans are the gold standard, and we are DEFINITLY not. we are no better than a dog or bird or fish. Yeah, birds can’t drive, but they can FLY. Dogs can’t use smartphones, but humans can’t smell like they can. humans are not supieror, and we don’t treat other humans kindly, so to me, saying humane doesn’t make a ton of sense. I think saying ‘compassionate’ or ‘ethical’ works better.

as a disabled therian, my own people are seen as less then human (especially POC members of my community) and they ARE biologically human. If that’s how we treat people who are the same species, how are we treating animals?

if someone who knows more than me wants to explain in the comment why I’m wrong, I’d be happy to listen (/genunine), I just feel like this needed to be said.

If you read this far, thanks for reading my jumbled rant!

What I think a lot of maga/conservatives don’t realize is how trans people are everywhere. We don’t spawn into bathrooms and only exists there. I work at a library, and I interact with people with maga/conservative/Christian nationalist/republicion views all the time. I am also non-binary, disabled, and overall queer.

and it doesn’t change the fact that I do my job. I give them their books and prizes and that’s it.

we exist everywhere, and we always will. We are not a danger. We are just people. Leave us alone.

It seems they don’t realize that we are just people and that drives me crazy.

So anyway that was my profound thought for today.

getting irrationally triggered and upset over something stupid - sometimes I hate my brain a little bit

Also arguing with my own brain 😅🥲

[dysfunctionaldragons]

just over here wondering if everyone has voices in their head that hey converse with. Yes, the voice has a name, pronouns, personality, and image... But that’s DEFINITELY normal. TOTALLY not a sign that I’m plural.

so, being disabled and autistic as a combo has downsides. The biggest one for me rn is that I keep admitting i need more support (currently have a wheelchair in the works 🤩) HOWEVER I’m also kind of hyper fixated on service dogs rn and I really think having one would reallly help me,but I JUST got the go ahead for a wheelchair. I feel like I’m being greedy 😭

I guess advice would be helpful, and I know people have service dogs AND wheelchairs. I’m not sure weather I should persue this at all, or if that’s stupid and I should wait several years.

Anyway, getting hyper fixated on disability aids sucks when you can’t have them

(and yes, the rest of my system wants a service dog, to varying degress)
