[eddybear-owo]

Yo yo yo! S yo boy, Ed! (Or Bear too)

Lil intro ->

I am low-mid needs autistic and i have chronic fadigue and pain (and it is doing the opposite of getting better at this very moment) and despite going to various doctors i still don't know why that is.

I'm verbalflux and do constantly have verbal shutdowns and speechloss episodes, i also have very self destructive meltdowns and I WILL call my autistic symptoms "symptoms" and not "traits".

I am a very avid minecraft enjoyer and am currently watching Froggsmp (a Brazilian server) and Hermitcraft (ya know what it is)

I am also obsessed over fullmetal alchemist it is everything for me seriously, my chosen name is literally Ed because of edward elric.

Umm dni? Yeah none of that, but if i will block very freely, and i might also be very vocal about my political and just general opinion (I'M VERY GAY! AND QUITE DISABLED TOO! AND ALSO MIXED INDIGENOUS!!)

I'm also an age regressor!! Won't post much about it but will post a small amount but so it's aways good to know.

I'm dating an amazing person called Alex and won't reciprocate any flirting.

Oh and also i am a minor so pls be mindful, yeah that's it byeee!

Sorry I was dreaming of a world where trannies don't have to be inspired creatives or kinky sex bombs or skilled programmers or funny shit posters or successful women in STEM or perfectly passing or (often unwilling) voices for their whole community or perfect saints to get some God damn love and respect from people who aren't also trannies.

I hope one day we can all just be some chick.

ID: Twitter post by Alan MacLeod which reads

Breaking: Annelise Orleck, Head of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth, has been banned from Campus for six months after protecting Jewish students protesting for Palestine from police attacks. Attached is a photo of Annelise Orleck.

Retweet by ceasefire (@kymtje) which reads

Combating antisemitism by banning the head of Jewish studies nothing to see here End ID

[canlifechillforasecond]

Slight corrections and additions: While Dr. Orleck still teaches at Dartmouth, she no longer chairs the department. However, she made it clear that she believed her presence as an older Jewish professor would make students safer by showing solidarity, and is outraged by the school’s response. Dartmouth claims that her suspension was “an error in the bail process, which they were working to fix.” Dr. Orleck was knocked to the ground and zip-tied, and came away with a case of whiplash.

Dartmouth brought in police only two hours after the encampment was set up, and the president has strongly defended her choice to create a culture of escalation and violence.

That's it. That's the dream. I'm almost mad that that's the dream.

[fuckyeahsnackables]

That's half the dream. The other half is being fairie fucking godmother to everyone on the planet.

See, I had 100k for a hot minute. Doesn't matter why. But for nearly a calendar year, I picked up the tab every chance I got, i lavished people with gifts, I took a friend to Greece, I paid for healthcare for myself and a few other people, for lawyers to help someone get out of an abusive marriage, Christmas presents for a single mom of 3.

It felt incredible. Just to take away the worry and say, "I've got you." Instacart groceries to a grieving friend of a friend across town. Pay the unexpected car repairs. Gift a young artist a yearlong subscription to Procreate.

That's why I'll never understand billionaires. If you could fix it, if money could actually make even one life better, why would you not do it? Even just for the kick? Hell, i don't care if it feeds your ego. Be Tony Stark, be Superman, idgaf. When you'll never be able to spend all that you have, even if you some up every damn day like it was your job, if you could end world hunger six times over for the price of a social media company, why wouldn't you just DO IT?

I don't have a coherent conclusion to this, except that if I ever meet Jeff Bezos, I'll beat him to death with my bare fists.

FACTS!

[heathenvampires]

Additions: if your viral load is suppressed by medication to the point it’s undetectable, it’s considered untransmittable, even without condoms. Children with HIV+ carriers are usually given medication when they’re born, to make sure any of the virus doesn’t take hold (which we also do to adults who fear they’ve been exposed, it’s called PEP ((Post Exposure Prophylaxis)), which is a month of medication and must be started within 72 hours of exposure).

(There’s also PreP - Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, which is taking medication if you feel you are at risk of being exposed to HIV, whether through sexual partners or sharing injection needles)

This is why we need universal free healthcare - so people can go on and have happy, healthy lives despite the HIV diagnosis. Nobody should die or live in fear when the treatment is so damn simple and effective.

[flyonthewallmedstudent]

HIV is not as deadly as it once was in the 1980s-1990s. 

There’s been a lot of progress in this. So long as you’re taking your medications (anti-retrovirals), it’s essentially become another chronic disease like diabetes or COPD etc. HIV patients nowadays are living into their 60s and 70s and are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease rather than opportunistic infections or AIDS defining illnesses. 

If the HIV viral load is undetectable, then your CD4 counts (your white cells that are affected by the virus) should normalise. Such that you’re no different to the general population when it comes to infection risk.

Yes, we should all still be precautious, but it’s no longer a death sentence. 

Stigma remains because of how it is transmitted.

[thesaltofcarthage]

We need to share this information as widely as possible.

Silence still Equals Death.

[image description: a widely smiling black woman hugs a black man and their two children, who are also smiling widely. The woman holds a sign reading “HIV+” and the man and the children hold signs reading “HIV-”. This image is on a tweet by bucci jenkins @/Glorico who says “bruh what”.

There are 2 replies to that tweet, by GEM @/Rozthecreator reading “the woman is hiv positive, she takes her meds which makes her count low, she can’t pass it off to her husband which makes her still able to live her normal life and reproduce. The stigmas of hiv has to stop, and as Blacks especially we have to educate each other.”

The next reply is by t a y l o r @/G14_Classified_, reading “people on this app talk about sex 24/7 but are completely ignorant when it comes to stds and how they can/can’t be contracted. Yikes”.

I found an extremely dope disability survival guide for those who are homebound, bedbound, in need of disability accommodations, or would otherwise like resources for how to manage your life as a disabled person. (Link is safe)

How to Get On

How to have a great, disabled life.

It has some great articles and resources and while written by people with ME/CFS, it keeps all disabilities in mind. A lot of it is specific to the USA but even if you're from somewhere else, there are many guides that can still help you. Some really good ones are:

How to live a great disabled life- A guide full of resources to make your life easier and probably the best place to start (including links to some of the below resources). Everything from applying for good quality affordable housing to getting free transportation, affordable medication, how to get enough food stamps, how to get a free phone that doesn't suck, how to find housemates and caregivers, how to be homebound, support groups and Facebook pages (including for specific illnesses), how to help with social change from home, and so many more.

Turning a "no" into a "yes"- A guide on what to say when denied for disability aid/accommodations of many types, particularly over the phone. "Never take no for an answer over the phone. If you have not been turned down in writing, you have not been turned down. Period."

How to be poor in America- A very expansive and helpful guide including things from a directory to find your nearest food bank to resources for getting free home modifications, how to get cheap or free eye and dental care, extremely cheap internet, and financial assistance with vet bills

How to be homebound- This is pretty helpful even if you're not homebound. It includes guides on how to save spoons, getting free and low cost transportation, disability resources in your area, home meals, how to have fun/keep busy while in bed, and a severe bedbound activity master list which includes a link to an audio version of the list on Soundcloud

Master List of Disability Accommodation Letters For Housing- Guides on how to request accommodations and housing as well as your rights, laws, and prewritten sample letters to help you get whatever you need. Includes information on how to request additional bedrooms, stop evictions, request meetings via phone, mail, and email if you can't in person, what you can do if a request is denied, and many other helpful guides

Special Laws to Help Domestic Violence Survivors (Vouchers & Low Income Housing)- Protections, laws, and housing rights for survivors of DV (any gender), and how to get support and protection under the VAWA laws to help you and/or loved ones receive housing and assistance

Dealing With Debt & Disability- Information to assist with debt including student loans, medical debt, how to deal with debt collectors as well as an article with a step by step guide that helped the author cut her overwhelming medical bills by 80%!

There are so many more articles, guides, and tools here that have helped a lot of people. And there are a lot of rights, resources, and protections that people don't know they have and guides that can help you manage your life as a disabled person regardless of income, energy levels, and other factors.

Please boost!

The media is complicit in the dehumanization of Palestinians with the language they continue to use. If they can’t even call children, children, then what do they truly think of them?

You dont take the bus because its loud, so you get noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders and its okay now. I cant take the bus because I get overwhelmed trying to understand the timetables and stops and having people brush against me and dont know what to do when a single thing goes wrong without someone helping, only way it works (outside of simple one way routes that were practiced with me for years) is someone being there by my side at all times start to finish.

You dont like to go shopping because its overstimulating. I cant make it to the store without someone driving me there, accompanying me on the bus, walking with me inside, helping me get what I need, helping me pay, helping me back home.

You struggle to shower, so you set up a reminder system and you use rewards and make it fun by playing music or something and now you shower like twice a week reliably with very rare exceptions. If I try showering by myself I often end up catatonic on the floor, or hitting my head against the wall, ... and still only do it once every 7-12 days. Reminders dont work. Music doesnt work. Rewards dont work. The only thing that actually gets me to shower safely and enough is someone verbal prompting on good days and some hand on help for bad days. Same with brushing my teeth.

You struggle to work because its exhausting to mask. I wont get hired because I cant make it there without someone taking me and picking me up because taking the bus doesnt work and I cant drive, I can't speak to them without AAC and I dont understand what they say to me and I elope and I injure myself and I freeze and I can't stop myself from making noises and rocking and shaking my hands and pacing and jumping. my body refuses to make many (gross) motor skill movements right and I break stuff, walk into stuff, ... All I have is work at a sheltered workshop for like 1€ an hour.

Etcetc. Driving. Getting dressed. Going to a doctor. ... and yet you want to tell me is the same autism? That support needs labels dont matter? When this is my every every day?

everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

A little reminder that the "scary" neurodivergents belong in the community too. The ones with intrusive thoughts. The ones who seem self-centered.

The people with ocd, bpd, npd. Stuff like that. They belong here too.
