Just so people know, epilepsy warnings aren’t about, like, purity culture, or online leftists acting as if disabled people are real. It’s about my mom
We human beings have discovered patterns of light and/or sound that kill some people and we should probably not have hissy fits about your right to fire a weapon at my mom. Like if you could put some text onscreen explaining the upcoming seizure-inducing patterns so that people can scroll away. That’s super fucking easy. i AM sorry that something as mindless as a tiktok edit could kill someone but hey, so could driving to work every morning, we all treat THAT accordingly (long, pointed stare. because yes we had better be treating that accordingly too)
The casual abundance of Thing That Kills People doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avoid killing people

Welp, a new "the worst thing that could happen" has happened for me:
I received a letter YESTERDAY that my medical debt from 2018-2022 has hit a point where the creditor is no longer allowing "min payments" & I have til June 6th to pay it IN FULL... "or else."
If you can help, I'd appreciate it.
Unfortunately that ALSO means I'm still struggling for rent and bills as well, but I've decided to keep that and this separate as to not combine the issues into something even more stressful for my brain...
Getting the letter saying "Pay By June 6th or Else" for my medical debt on Tuesday night was a real hit to my already exhausted and beaten morale…
Seeing the GoFundMe hit 33% in a day has been… amazing.
The weight isn't fully gone, but it is lighter!
Thank you all for continuing to donate and share! 💖
forgive me if I seem sparse on here, I only use the mobile app and tumblr has decided to employ a new trick of "fucking kill you" in the form of flickering and flashing gifs as I'm scrolling so.... that's been fun.

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort
the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.
there's not a single example I could give that's better than this

It’s SO obvious that some of y’all are incredibly mad that my wizard hat is bigger and supremely balanced.
okay... i can still see the folds on your wizard robe... iron it.
Now I know you ain’t talking with ya dusty ass grimoire. That bad boy is held together with scotch tape, spit, and faith. Helpful hint: you want the spines of your enemies to break, not your magical tomes.
no cause it's really cute hearing that from you when last i checked your grimoire isn't being passed down from generation to generation. i know you got it from walmart with your dollar store lookin ass staff. you can keep your hint.
I just think it’s funny you think anything that isn’t dusted and busted like your grimoire is somehow less authentic, when the reality is you a broke ass wizard who can’t get your coin up! You gotta use hand-me-downs cuz no king wants to make use of your services! Maybe you should dress like this isn’t the third century and ppl would visit your sad lil’ wizard tower. Your grimoire so old I bet that shit got spells to deal with dinosaurs. I got a spell in mine to make wifi anywhere. Oh, and I know you ain’t talking about staffs when you carry around that plywood looking ass shit. You tryna conjure forth a Home Depot employee?
you scroll-stuffing spell stealing nasty little SLUT
Nuh-uh, bitch, try again.
And I’m supposed to listen to you two when you both wear TRAFFIC CONE HATS?? Hate to tell you this buds, but I do think that the plastic hat kinda matches y’all’s plastic fashion taste and y’all’s plastic ass spells.
Yours truly, the wizard frog
DO NOT INTERRUPT US
You talk all this mess about wizard hats, and yet I don't ever see you wearing one 🤔
