When yet another stupid update gets rolled out

[yukiyu4]

[faun-grove]

was the latest update done for the enrichment? something for tumblr users to complain about?

[faun-grove]

we are being threatened too

It's scary to be transgender in the world right now but if you're transgender I love you and we have to stick together and keep fighting and keep living and keep loving

[mx-macintosh]

the world needs trans men more than it needs miserable cis women and the world needs trans women more than it needs miserable cis men and the world needs nonbinary people more than it needs miserable binary people

the cruelty of healthcare bureaucracy lies in the fact that they won't diagnose you or treat you until you get a specific set of results. like you can show every indication of having a problem, even have abnormal results that suggests something is wrong, and have the symptoms of something being wrong - but the policy of the system is that they don't treat you without having the Specific Number they want. so you are quite literally forced to watch yourself deteriorate, and perhaps experience irreversible damage, until you hit the arbitrary threshold for "well now the problem exists" and suddenly your health issues magically become real. does it matter that everyone's bodies will have a different healthy baseline? no. abnormal results are ignored up until the point that they fit a specific, pre approved model. and honestly that is such a soul crushing experience to put people through

when the persona you made eats you; when the performance youve been putting on eats you; when the name they gave you eats you; when the image people made of you eats you; when the role you were assigned eats you; when the you that other people see or even made for you or you made for them takes over the you that you know and eats you alive.

I’ve hear about how having cats makes you immune to hauntings, ghosts, spooky midnight noises etc but. for years I’ve been dealing with a panic response to unexpected nighttime noises, major enough that the adrenaline can keep me from falling back asleep for hours.

A few weeks of living with a cat and my brain’s been reprogrammed. last night at 4am the furry little shitmuppet broke a vase & I only woke up long enough to call her a rat bastard & roll over back to sleep

[phinarei]

Oh shit. This totally made me realize that it must have been my cat that killed my fear of the dark. I used to be intensely scared of walking into dark spaces. Hated any area where I had to turn a light off before I could turn another one on.

Enter my mostly black demon who likes to jump out of dark spaces at me.

Now I can just walk through dark rooms with no anxiety. I’m now used to the darkness taking physical form and jumping at me. At this point if a monster did jump out of the darkness I’d instinctively reach for the cat treats to offer it.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

holy crap what other fears do cats make you immune to?

I’m no longer scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of demons with sharp claws & glowing eyes, i’m scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of one specific small furry demon with sharp claws & glowing eyes

#fuck off beelzebub my cat has dibs

[so-i-did-this-thing]

My cats are legit part of my grounding strategy for when I have sleep hallucinations. As part of my sleep paralysis, I “see” corpses in the bed next to me on a frequent basis, or shadow men lurking in the doorway; if there is a cat blissfully, softly snoring at the foot of the bed, I know I am safe, despite what my brain is trying to conjure.

[notsafevorework]

the sound of my door opening slowly, but theres no one there. my cat. somethings clawing at the walls, glass or window screens, cats. somethings fucking licking my toe in the middle of the night, my fucking cat again. nothing can hurt me its all cat

[vicshush]

Unearthly noise? Cat.

Movement out of the corner of your eye? Cat.

Objects moved? Cat.

Inexplicable smells? Cat.

Corpses (small)? Cat.

Ectoplasm right in middle of the room, which you won’t notice till you step in it? Cat.

[jenroses]

Do cats make the ghosts go away? Nah. They just make you stop being scared.

[the-haiku-bot]

Do cats make the ghosts

go away? Nah. They just make

you stop being scared.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[aetherograph]

honestly if you speak to ghosts and spooky creatures the same way you talk to cats getting up on the counter, it works exactly the same. “It’s THREE in the MORNING, go to bed!” works too.

[iinsawdious]

they should invent a way for online friends to come over and hang out that doesn't involve money or travelling

[13hemoglobin]

“I wish I was depressed so I had a right to feel this sad” “I wish I was trans so I could be a boy” “I wish I was autistic so I had a reason for life to be this hard” BABYLICIOUS HONEYCAKES YOURE GONNA WANNA SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE

[obsidian3ye]

I WISH ROMANTIC FEELINGS HAD A REAL FUCKING DEFINITION!!!!!

"Butterflies in your tummy" I get that every time I talk to anyone because I'm an anxious wreck

"Ohh you get all blushy" I blush whenever I remember literally any compliment from anyone. I blush when someone says I blink robotically. I blush when I remember that time my driving instructor said I went through a stop sign correctly.

"You get nervous when thinking about them" I'm always nervous.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!
