Well heck. Feels like Tumblr would appreciate this article about these extremely badass ladies, full of gorgeous pictures and for a good cause:

I'm having some very lesbian feelings right now.

Anyway, if you want to buy one of their calendars, they're available for sale in NZ and with international shipping right now! Just saying.

was talking to a diabetic friend the other day and i told him that i don't think i'd consider my moderate chronic pain 'disabling', just because i have a high pain tolerance, so it rarely stops me from doing anything, it just causes a lot of pain while i do that thing

and he asks if i'd consider his diabetes a disability, because for him it doesn't usually mean he can't do anything, it just means he can't do stuff the same way non-diabetics can

i thought abt it for a second, then i said "yeah, because even if you can do the same stuff, it comes at a cost. and there's other stuff you've gotta do and keep track of"

"yeah. your chronic pain's the same way. you can do the same stuff, but the pain and rest later, that's the cost"

anyway i thought that was a good outlook on moderate chronic pain and impostor syndrome or whatever

This is really important. Same goes for people with 'milder' chronic illness that doesn't involve pain. I wish I'd had access to information about disability (and community!) before my illnesses became extremely disabling. It would be great if more people identified as disabled (in a "the more, the merrier" kind of way). Just think of the wide-reaching solidarity and how much more power there is to fight for better rights when the critical mass is bigger. Are you feeling impostor syndrome about being disabled? Get in here! There's room for all of us! <3

''i wasted those years'' who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments

Sometimes remembering what the world used to be like 10 years ago feels like remembering life before the zombie apocalypse. I do wonder if there will come a point that I totally forget what life was like, and the absolute certainty I had in the delusion that people are mostly good and that the progress in the world was basically inevitable. I didn't even realize how much I believed in the future until I didn't believe in it anymore.

I think nothing sums up western "palestine" activism quite as tragically well as a man with no connection to the levant murdering a low-level Israeli embassy worker and his girlfriend, while they were leaving an event where they raised money to help Palestinians, then while being arrested shouting "free Palestine!" while brandishing the red-and-white keffiyah of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan instead of the black-and-white Palestinian keffiyah. The non-jewish "antizionist" movement is a farce and I hope they finally start throwing the book at these fuckers before this can happen again.
