Hellcat System

We're still learning tumblr, okay? this is where an intro would go if i wasn't 13 people. she/her late 20s transfem zionist diagnosed PTSD diagnosed ADHD self-diagnosed autistic self-diagnosed PDID

[hellcatcollective]

We are the Hellcat system!

Since it seems we need to be a bit more clear about shit we won't tolerate, here we go.

If you think that it's okay to blindly direct hate against ANY group that doesn't A: exist to do that itself or B: actively exploit people, then Get The FUCK Off Our Page. Block us. Be done with it. If you are confused as to where your pet issue falls, feel free to ask, we'll happily help you sort that out. We're old, we don't have time to figure out whatever new way you found to other a part of your own community this month. Focus on who's actually oppressing us, then maybe once that's solved we can worry about whatever petty bullshit you cooked up this week.

Meet us:

Moira, one of the two primary fronters, typical trans catgirl.

Maya, similar to Moira but prone to age regression and also just generally less masked with our neurodivergence.

Haven, combat doll, is the system's primary external protector and handles stressful situations.

Lenore is our system administrator, identifies as an AI.

Ash is creature. It/she pronouns. Explicitly rejects humanity. Clusterject. Took a lot of inspiration from Cyn from Murder Drones, but also is other things. Chaos gremlin. Also has very mature opinions on mortality.

Tamaki, an introject of Tamaki Kotatsu from Fire Force.

Maomao, introject from Apothecary Diaries.

Catra, self explanatory

Astrid, Valkyrie.

Taylor Hebert, Worm.

Cleo, from VSMP

Moira Quinn, goes mostly by Quinn, trans punk vampire.

HOLY SHIT! I MIGHT OUTLIVE DONALD TRUMP! NEW GOAL!

[punxsutawneyphyllis]

Is that because your treatments are working, or because Trump got sicker? Hoping it's the former but congrats either way!

[maimonideznuts]

My current treatment is keeping me reasonably stable, but there's a new type of treatment (CAR T-cell immunotherapy) that might be available to me in the next year or two that is possibly a cure for diseases like mine, as well as Lupus, Hashimoto's etc... very exciting stuff going on in the world of bioengineered medicine.

I've talked a little about the therapy here, but outliving Trump literally just occurred to me when I posted this.

[vettir]

Oh hell yeah. You could even outlive Don Jr.

[maimonideznuts]

G-d willing

[hellcatcollective]

We have Hashimoto's. So happy to hear about this. Also, fuck yeah congrats! Hope that works out for you!

"Why are so many mecha games populated by weird women who want an evil person to step on them and treat them like a dog?"

You see. The fans from the early games are still here. They're just now freaky Hounds who like weaponized petplay now.

....some might be clicker trained too.

[charlesoberonn]

No offense, but the group with some of the most unexamined internalized privilege are right-handed people.

A right-handed co-worker told me once that I put the papers in the plastic sleeve upside-down. I joked that from my perspective, she's the one putting them upside-down and she just didn't get it and started arguing with me.

I had to physically demonstrate to her that the papers are right-side up when you hold the sleeve so that the opening is on the left.

[charlesoberonn]

I feel you. I'm left-handed but I can't use scissors in my left hand (even left-handed scissors) because I got used to only using them with my right.

[shofarsogood]

All the desks are my university are right handed. You know, the kind where you flip up the top to get seated and flip it back down to write? All right handed. There's no place to rest my arm. By the time class is over, I have a line on my arm from where the edge presses in. It's just uncomfortable. (Not to mention that those desks are hell for anyone who is not super super skinny and athletic. There's no space for bigger people.)

We have the same thing at the local movie theater which means that I'm constantly elbowing my girlfriend's drink trying to eat popcorn. It's less of an issue at a movie theater, though.

[meshaamem-li]

ever tried to use a computer mouse with your left hand? your pointer finger naturally rests on right click so you gotta move it to press left click. very inconvenient. (I just recently thought to change my mouse settings to switch left and right click but I haven't tried it yet) and that's not even mentioning those specialized computer mice that are designed to fit your hand shape more, those are so inconvenient for left handed people.

also, left handed people have actually been openly discriminated against up until pretty recently. my grandmother got her left handedness "corrected" at school and she's not the only one from her generation who have. I've heard of tactics from slapping them with a ruler to tying their left hand to the back of the chair.

isn't this kinda crazy how this discrimination existed and still exists independently in so many places in the world and against such a simple and unimportant human trait as a dominant hand?? it's not a different look, it's not a differebt gender, it's not a different lifestyle or culture, a different belief, or a different way of acting, it's literally just which hand you use for tasks.

[jewish-rock]

my kindergarten teacher, I was 5 and struggled with fine motor tasks so making a solid line without breaking the pencil or ripping the page was a success, made me switch to my right hand. (my autistic stubbornness meant I switched back every time she wasn't looking).

and talking to other friends of mine, as recently as the 2010s teachers have forced leftie kids to be right handed.

[meshaamem-li]

as recently as 2010???? holy shit.

[jewish-rock]

even worse, one person I know this happened to started school in 2012 (she's 19 now). haven't met anyone younger than that who's been forced to be rightie, but then again I just don't know a lot of people who are younger than that.

spiral notebooks (I have to get the really thick ones so the spirals don’t dig into my hand)

pen ink covering my hand all the time

knife blades favoring one side (I basically only chop veggies with my right hand now)

guitar

whenever there’s a pen attached to a clipboard or signature pad or whatever it’s barely ever long enough

shaking hands with the right hand. I usually carry things in my right hand so my left hand is available for tasks and since I carry an absurd number of things I then have to switch

[hellcatcollective]

I know i "chose" to be left handed (i was ambidextrous when i was younger and eventually told i had to choose a hand. I asked the person forcing this choice which was more common, and when she said right, i chose left, because even at the age of 6 i was a contrarian to the core), so like, ig i made my bed or whatever, but it's so infuriating how much of this people just take for granted or refuse to grasp. And I'm "lucky". I've retained much of my ambidexterity, scissors in my right hand feel weird, and I'm not as good as other people I'm sure, since it's just not a practiced hand, but im better off than most left handed people.

Something else i think REALLY needs addressed is how often there is a religious component to this. As a kid who grew up in Christian schools then switched to Islam with my mother at 12, i was pretty consistently discriminated against for what hand i used. Christians were more subtle about it, and i don't remember much of that, so i won't try to detail it. Islam however, i was regularly told that i needed to learn to do any of various things with my left hand because it was "dirty". This was based on a hadith that essentially said "you should use one hand for dirty things and one hand for clean things", which, for what it's worth, is actually pretty good advice considering it originated at a time when soap and such was more limited and less understood. But, it says nothing about which hand is to be used. I regularly countered people with that. Why can't i simply use my right hand for dirty things? Not that i really thought much of the hadith anyway since imo it was outdated, but the point stands. I was told that's just not how it works and "oh, so and so is left handed and he taught himself to eat and everything only with his right hand (nevermind the fact that people often eat with two hands anyway and the people telling me these things did as well, they'd just only lift their silverware to their mouths with their left hand). This was around 2010, and i have very little doubt much has changed in the circles i grew up in.

cats will be like please i need you to watch me wiggle around on this carpet please hey look look please look at me i’m wiggling

[hellcatcollective]

It's very important! I wiggle so good! Waaaaaatch!

sometimes i wonder if mech fiction hasnt applied the idea of hounds broadly enough. like are there artillery hounds leashed to mortars the size of skyscrapers who can calculate firing tables in their head, or medic hounds who wear muzzles so that their surgery-skills-enhancing obsession with flesh doesn't turn into an unfortunate cannibalism incident?

[enki2]

[hellcatcollective]

it legitimately baffles me that people's ego gets in the way of caring about being factually correct most of the time. Like, i understand on paper why that happens, and i don't blame anybody, and heck, i even do too sometimes, but, wouldn't you rather be right and safe from judgement than wrong and strong looking until people eventually realize you're an idiot? Unless your plan is to keep people from realizing that forever, in which case... i guess that's an option, i think you'll be exhausted though.

happy Barely Keeping It Together Wednesday to all who celebrate

@AngryLevantine

For any Irish person who wants to understand the Jewish/Israeli perspective... Imagine the British showed up in Ireland and, instead of "merely" occupying and oppressing the locals, they drove most of them into exile. Then, after centuries of persecution in foreign lands, the exiled Irish return to their homeland. The British occupiers attempt genocide against the repatriated natives, resulting in a war that ends in British defeat and restoration of Irish sovereignty. Humiliated and incensed, the British hook up with Soviet KGB and invent a narrative that paints Irish as "foreign settlers" and Ireland as a natural and historic part of Britain. "This land was always part of Britain, in fact. These people who call themselves Irish are just delusional foreigners espousing fairy tales of a history that never happened and, if it did, it was our history anyway - not theirs. We're the REAL Irish people.

That is what Arabs (Palestinians) are doing to Jews. That is what most Irish people are siding with.

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.

Thinking about a girl I grew up with who spun her dog's fur into yarn, then knitted gloves out of the yarn and how all the other kids made fun of her mercilessly for it.

And how she's now used those gloves for over thirty winters and each time she puts them on, she gets to pet her beloved dog's fur even though Ginger is long gone. And how even though her bones have long since been swallowed by the earth, Ginger is still protecting her owner from the cold.

Just an ancient pact, passed down from the earliest dogs that slept beside humans to keep us warm, continuing on for decades after one of their deaths.
