I think grim reapers should wear little hats
I don't remember where I was going with this but I stand by it. give grim reapers big ole straw farmer's hats!
Have you read diskworld by any chance? I think you would enjoy the "Death" series. I think it starts with "Mort".

trans women are women
trans men are men
nonbinary people are valid
nonbinary people are too powerful to be contained by your binary ideas of gender
i enjoy that theres a lot of dog imagery in the trans community but it seems to vary wildly between "I AM A CAGED WOLF I NEED TO TEAR OFF MY SKIN I NEED YOU TO SEE MY TEETH AND KNOW WHO I TRULY AM INSIDE" and "im ouuppyyy i need . pets on my head :) "
Do you know that werewolf poem that is an allegory for non-binary ppl or rather the opinion some ppl have on them? Seems to fit here.
aye. you cannot say manchester is not the north. geographically, historically, socially... it is the north. we cannot be doing this.
If a UK Prime Minister candidate is referring specifically to England then yes of course it is.
But every single time it's said in the context of the whole UK, it proves Scotland is nothing but an afterthought for English politicians.
Aye how can u say the equator is not the north. It is literally north of Australia. We cannot be doing this.

Hopefully you've at least already realized that you did the thing were you put forth a problem you're sincerely struggling with (which makes people want to help you, as a basic emotional cause and effect) and then reply to every single good faith attempt to help you with varying degrees of bitterness, disinterest, and skepticism, which is not really kind or healthy towards anyone.
Anyway, it frankly sounds like you're really autistic. The rigid black and white thinking with no middle ground, the struggle to even fathom putting into energy into something you're not extremely intrigued by or find veey enjoyable, and the inherent confusion or repulsion towards doing something that makes your body feel "some type of way" all point heavily to that.
Working out hurts or aches even when you are used to it when you strain your muscles more than usual. Lying in bed rotting all day hurts (especially your hips) even when you don't have a connective tissue disorder. Those are just facts of being a human with a body.
There's a reason why autism is measured by how much support or help you need, and frankly it looks like you need more than you're getting. Either you get help to stop hating your body and accept it as is and just focus on the movements required for daily life + the stretches you already enjoy, or you get help in training yourself to help overcome the black or white thinking or at least, in some scenarious, to overcome your need to avoid physical discomfort over everything else in life.
Either way, even just getting help or being receptive to help is up to you. Literally nobody else can help you unless you're willing to try and you aren't. You refuse to accept the help from strangers on the internet--fair enough. But then maybe stop asking them when all you're gonna do is cross your arms and go "No! It's not a magic spell so I don't want it!" because not a single person is going to offer you a fix or a solution you like. And that's fine, if you just accept that.
Moving forward, I think maybe it'd be best for you to specify something like "I'm curious as to what you guys do to cope with this really frustrating thing, but I am not looking for advice, just your experience" and treat it like a casual conversation topic or discussion and not your personal game of "poking holes into other people's logic and experiences based in my own inherent hatred of the topic", or just say you wanna complain about it but don't want help. Because you clearly don't want help.
Regardless of how badly you've been handling some of these conversations, I do hope you're able to start hoping for and working towards a better wuality of life instead of focusing on resentment.
I know it's a nasty way of doing things, but I can't help doing it and also unfortunately it helps me. I can't catch myself doing it before I'm doing it, and even if I ever learn, I still wouldn't know what else I should be doing instead.
I don't have autism. I got tested twice for it and no matter how hard they tried to scrape together enough evidence, and no matter how badly they wanted me to have it, they could not find enough symptoms to diagnose me as autistic. I do have ADHD though, I never got tested for that as a kid and nobody even suspected it before I was in my late 20s and sought help on my own.
The problem with trying to figure out how to fix something is that I don't even know what the scope or nature of the problem is before people suggest solutions to a problem that's a different one than the one I'm struggling with. I'm not intentionally baiting people into wasting their time, it just genuinely doesn't occur to me beforehand to map out how and why the most obvious solutions aren't an option, because I didn't know what the most obvious solutions are.
If it's any comfort, I also hate it when I'm doing this.
This was so disingenuous. You cannot diagnose autism over a series of tumbler posts. There is some black and white thinking, yes, but that can have many reasons. Thinking "black and white thinking = autism" is in itself black and white thinking. I also think there's a reason not to try these things. Some will be valid, other... let's just say will need some exploring. Not bc you're necessarily wrong, but bc you could learn more about yourself. I also don't think you, homunculus, here are trying to bait people? The problem is just in another dimention than most of the posters think. I think mental health, but again, i could be way off. The heck do I know.
AGGGHHHHH I’m so pissed off
I found a neat looking game on steam. 90% text-based colony sim with a little bit of tasteful ASCII art. All the gameplay revolved around typing commands in a terminal. And the theming was 100% my thing
Sunk two hours into it and genuinely loved it.
Then I checked out what else the developer made—
Like, twelve reskins of the same low-quality shovelware game, all with colorful AI-generated graphics, all released within a month of each other, with the game I played randomly slotted in between.
And now I’m disgusted that I liked something that’s now so clearly AI garbage— I immediately lost interest when I found out, and now I feel pretty betrayed
Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is that you have to be prepared for the day generative AI makes something that you like.
Importantly 👆you have to hate it regardless
On Steam, developers are obliged to put a disclaimer in the description of the game if AI was used in development! Always check the description
It was completely untagged! That’s the thing!
Steam isn't exactly known at being great at enforcing its own rules sadly.
i’m the knower. i’ve known this.
It has been a while since I played SN, but this is making ma happy! Happy pride to every stylist!

Literally started playing the game just for him 😭😭😭
I haven’t seen any aranara that looks like Neuvilette yet, so I figured I’ll try and create one.
Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.
This Doonesbury abortion cartoon was originally written by Gary Trudeau in 2012, in response to a Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion. It was banned from many major newspapers, and they ran syndicated cartoons in its place.
Now seems like an appropriate time to bring these cartoons back, with the passing of Texas’ new law requiring the burial or cremation of miscarried or aborted fetal remains. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Trudeau decides to write the sequel.

uh oh forgot to take the Pill That Makes Me Sane
lotta people in the notes also forgot to take the Pill That Makes You Sane...
I read this as "The Pill That Makes You Santa" and had a long puzzled sit on what that would mean.
TESTOSTERONE??????
I managed to take my evening meds in the morning. Wish me santanity.
I frequently forget that sauerkraut is typically seen as a German food since I grew up eating it on Pulaski Days and with the Polish side of my family. Am I going to hell.
yeah i had a conversation with god recently and it turns out xe doesnt really care about gay people or sex out of wedlock so right now the only thing that'll send you to eternal damnation is misidentifying regional varieties of fermented vegetables. sorry i dont make the rules.
I honestly think that nonbinary people should be allowed to be mean* about our genders without getting shit for it more often.
*(Read: Assertive of our boundaries and stood firm on the fact that our identities are deserving of respect)
We should be allowed to make a sour face or take a cold tone with someone when they carelessly misgender us for the fifth time in a row despite multiple corrections. We should be allowed to complain about erasure and ask where our needs and experiences come into play when we hear people reinforcing binary normativity in their discussions of gender related issues. We should be allowed to be visibly/audibly angry with other trans people when they try to forcibly categorize us as fem or masc, or imply that our enbyness is a mere phase that will eventually lead to "real/full" (binary to binary) transition.
Nonbinary people should be allowed to take our identities seriously and expect others to do the same for us, regardless of whether or not we will come off as mean for doing so. Because quite frankly, upon seeing how exorsexist the world has become recently, I think we haven't been mean enough.
Yeah like for the most part I don't care anymore. If it's not my healthcare, living situation, education ect at stake I will be "mean". Just because you don't realize what you're doing is a microagression doesn't mean it isn't one. Respect is a two-way street and I am done being the designated victim.
