loudly going "YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE GOOD" to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i've ever done
the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.
it was seizures. wild how diagnoses and treatment happen when doctors listen and take the time to run tests to be sure.
The LGBTQ community has seen controversy regarding acceptance of different groups (bisexual and transgender individuals have sometimes been marginalized by the larger community), but the term LGBT has been a positive symbol of inclusion and reflects the embrace of different identities and that weâre stronger together and need each other. While there are differences, we all face many of the same challenges from broader society.
In the 1960âČs, in wider society the meaning of the word gay transitioned from âhappyâ or âcarefreeâ to predominantly mean âhomosexualâ and was an umbrella term that meant anyone who wasnât cisgender or heterosexual. The community embraced the word âgayâ as a mark of pride.
The modern fight for queer rights is considered to have begun with The Stonewall Riots in 1969 and was called the Gay Liberation Movement and the Gay Rights Movement.
The acronym GLB surfaced around this time to also include Lesbian and Bisexual people who felt âgayâ wasnât inclusive of their identities.Â
Early in the gay rights movement, gay men were largely the ones running the show and there was a focus on menâs issues. Lesbians were unhappy that gay men dominated the leadership and ignored their needs and the feminist fight. As a result, lesbians tended to focus their attention on the Womenâs Rights Movement which was happening at the same time. This dominance by gay men was seen as yet one more example of patriarchy and sexism.Â
In the 1970âČs, sexism and homophobia existed in more virulent forms and those biases against lesbians also made it hard for them to find their voices within womenâs liberation movements. Betty Friedman, the founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), commented that lesbians were a âlavender menaceâ that threatened the political efficacy of the organization and of feminism and many women felt including lesbians was a detriment.
In the 80s and 90s, a huge portion of gay men were suffering from AIDS while the lesbian community was largely unaffected. Lesbians helped gay men with medical care and were a massive part of the activism surrounding the gay community and AIDS. This willingness to support gay men in their time of need sparked a closer, more supportive relationship between both groups, and the gay community became more receptive to feminist ideals and goals.Â
Approaching the 1990âČs it was clear that GLB referred to sexual identity and wasnât inclusive of gender identity and T should be added, especially since trans activist have long been at the forefront of the communityâs fight for rights and acceptance, from Stonewall onward. Some argued that T should not be added, but many gay, lesbian and bisexual people pointed out that they also transgress established gender norms and therefore the GLB acronym should include gender identities and they pushed to include T in the acronym.Â
GLBT became LGBT as a way to honor the tremendous work the lesbian community did during the AIDS crisis.Â
Towards the end of the 1990s and into the 2000s, movements took place to add additional letters to the acronym to recognize Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, Agender, and others. As the acronym grew to LGBTIQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAA, many complained this was becoming unwieldy and started using a â+â to show LGBT arenât the only identities in the community and this became more common, whether as LGBT+ or LGBTQ+.Â
In the 2010âČs, the process of reclaiming the word âqueerâ that began in the 1980âČs was largely accomplished. In the 2020âČs the LGBTQ+ acronym is used less often as Queer is becoming the more common term to represent the community.Â
This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy
I don't speak French so thank you to the many, many, many people in the notes going "Wait that's not 'can it' that's 'Shut the fuck up'"
Cinnamon Bear, Bryan Davies - Here is the bedroom we finished for our rescued shelter cat (Wyatt) this weekend. He actually goes in to nap and watch birds on YouTube :). Fame hasnât gone to Wyattâs head, even after he got an article by Stephen Messenger @dodo !

The above is from this article from The Guardian. The images are from MYA Network. The caption on their website reads:
Source:Â âWhen a sperm and egg get together, the body creates tissue in order to support the developing pregnancy. Â Here are photos of that tissue from 5-9 week pregnancies. Â This is called the gestational sac, and itâs like the âhouseâ for the pregnancy. Inside this sac there are cells that have the potential to become a fetus but there is no visible embryo at this stage. We rinsed off the blood and menstrual lining (decidua) for these photographs.â
The published images sparked a lot of debate, leading to the story being picked up by other news outlets. For example:
Source:Â âLast week, the Guardian published images of pregnancy tissue after abortions in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The small size and appearance of the tissue were shocking to many. We have all absorbed, knowingly and unknowingly, the pervasive anti-abortion narrative that a pregnancy resembles a tiny baby starting in the earliest weeks. Though an early embryo can be seen under the magnification of ultrasound, it can take months for it to be perceptible to the naked eye.â
Source: âPeople have responded in disbelief, citing the (magnified) images theyâve seen on ultrasounds. [âŠ] âThink of the illustrations on pregnancy and medical websites. The Mayo Clinic, one of the preeminent medical organizations in the country, shows week-by-week illustrations of embryonic and fetal development without any context of scale, like the rulers in the MYA photos.â
As stated in the article, whilst people talk about a âheartbeatâ at 6 weeks, there is no heart developed at this stage - only a group of cells that will become part of the heart.
Source:Â âBut what exactly do we mean when we talk about a âfetal heartbeatâ at six weeks of pregnancy? Although some people might picture a heart-shaped organ beating inside a fetus, this is not the case. Rather, at six weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound can detect âa little flutter in the area that will become the future heart of the baby,â said Dr. Saima Aftab, medical director of the Fetal Care Center at Nicklaus Childrenâs Hospital in Miami. This flutter happens because the group of cells that will become the future âpacemakerâ of the heart gain the capacity to fire electrical signals, she said.â
It should also be noted that the images show an embryo, not a fetus, until the 9th week.
Source:Â âIn human pregnancies, a baby-to-be isnât considered a fetus until the 9th week after conception, or week 11 after your last menstrual period (LMP).â
The co-founders of the MYA Network responded in a New York Times article.
Source:Â âMany people, even those who support abortion rights, did not believe the photos were accurate. Some insisted we had deliberately removed the embryos before taking the photos. The images werenât consistent with those often seen in embryological textbooks, magnified on ultrasounds or used in anti-abortion propaganda; these enlarged images are not what you see with the naked eye after an abortion. A Stanford gynecologic pathologist has validated our photos, but many people could not believe the pictures were presented unaltered.
Spread truth.
The decision to have ANY medical procedure belongs between the patient and their doctor(s). No matter how well-meaning, government, church and society need to butt the fuck out.

hi internet. it's been weird since i've been on twitter less so i figured maybe this would be a good outlet instead. BASICALLY, my body is being weird, but not in a definite diagnosable way and sporadically enough that i never know how much to actively worry. so today, going to eat garbage fast food which was what we were on our way to do when i ended up in an ambulance and we never made it the first time over a month ago was the biggest fucking win. eating and my body keeping it in was amazing. idk i guess on one hand, if it happens again and more predictably, maybe we get a diagnosis but right now, i am so happy i could drive and spend time with my friend and have hush puppies and keep my consciousness. the other day, the dr consulted with a colleague who said my case was "interesting" and i hope, for my sake, it means they're going to figure something out. i still don't want to share with irl people because it's stupid and everyone asks questions i have no answers for and they have useless suggestions like yoga and eating more and it's stressful and i don't actually like that type of attention. ambulance was a nightmare. hospital was a nightmare. i don't want pity or questions or consolations. i wanted to have floats and quesadillas and hush puppies with my friend. i want to road trip and to exist and go camping without having to worry about ending up on a bathroom floor, far from home, with no one who knows how to handle me. i just want my normalcy and tbh it's harder when people call to ask how i feel like i will break at any moment. but i know it comes from a place of caring, so i take a breath and say i'm fine. today was really fine.
This is to say, my giant bird colleague is working better with me now. Have to keep reminding her I'm just not into her that way and HR would never allow it. I very much miss the one who was moved to a different section, but I love working with her. Today was good though.
Been having a weird time with people what with their inconsistencies and dying and stuff and kind of mourning and stuff I guess.
Bird...wild animal, but good one. Best one.
