A Self Shipping Blog @jazz-n-spitz - Tumblr Blog

@antis, let’s make something clear:

• “Trying to protect survivors” does not entitle you to harass and abuse other people. • You’re not “protecting survivors” if you think it’s okay to harass ACTUAL survivors just because they don’t agree with you/want to reveal their survivor status. • Being mentally ill doesn’t give you the right to treat other people like shit. Not here, not anywhere. • Being a survivor does not exempt you from being/becoming abusive yourselves. • Take responsibility of your actions. Don’t try to blame your mental illness, the ship, shippers, or everyone for your OWN actions. • If you find something that offends you or triggers you, try to find ways to protect yourselves. There are many tools available to blacklist, even for the app. Shippers are not your babysitters. • DON’T FORCE SURVIVORS TO REVEAL THEIR SURVIVOR STATUS IF THEY DON’T WANT TO FOR GOD’S SAKE! It’s none of your business. • There are many ways to cope. Don’t tell people they can’t cope with x ship because “it’s not the right way to cope”. • Don’t call shippers ‘pedophiles’, ‘actual rapers’, etc, just because they ship something you find ‘problematic’. • Don’t say pedophilia is not a mental disorder just because you shield yourselves under your own mental disorders and don’t want to be under the same label. • Don’t tag your hate. If you don’t like x ship, fine, you don’t have to like everything, but people go to those tags because they want to see ACTUAL content about that ship. • Fiction ≠ Reallity. Simple like that. • Shippers don’t erase ‘canon’ representation. If it’s canon, it’s going to stay like that, some fans drawing/writing something different it’s not going to change it. • Just because shippers may like something you find ‘problematic’, it doesn’t mean they actually support/condone it in real life. That’s like saying that any slasher films fan is going to turn into a serial murder. • Age gap ≠ Abusive relationship. Why this is so hard to grasp? • USA is not the only country in the world. Different countries have different laws and culture. • DON’T TELL PEOPLE TO KILL THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF THEIR SHIPS. That’s beyond disgusting. • Overall, just grow up and stop acting like whining babies.

Please, spread love, not hate

the “holding out as married” rule is so fucked up

like… not only can I not marry the love of my life without losing my health insurance and the $800 or so a month I’m forced to survive on

but I can’t even CALL her “my wife” casually

like literally the US gov’t has people whose job it is to go and interview the family, friends, & neighbors of disabled people to just make sure that they never refer to anyone in their life as “my wife” or “my husband” etc

and if you DO, then SNAP! You’re defrauding the US gov’t of the pittance you can barely survive on and you are no longer entitled to your disability benefits

(some kinds of benefits might remain in diminished form but if you were disabled before age 22 you are fucked COMPLETELY and can’t get them back even if you divorce… the only loophole is if the other person was ALSO deemed disabled before 22, because that fucking makes sense)

and this is just… legal and no one but disabled activists ever talks about this shit

so yeah I’d love some of that gay marriage shit but I will never be able to get married, and to add insult to injury, I can’t even casually refer to my partner as “my wife” without risking the health insurance and income I need to survive as a disabled lesbian

kelpforestdwellers

this is what we mean when we say the USA does NOT have marriage equality yet

For some reason, I could totally see my steven universe OC, Rosie, and my undertale OC, Garamond, dating if they existed in the same universe. God now I want to draw them together 😂 Why must my brain do this to me!

THIS! I get so tired telling this to people. Cats are invasive on all 7 continents! They have driven over 30 species to extinction! Plus it is extremely dangerous for the cats to be outside!

“I loved you, always.”

going to comment a little on this game: the overseeing voice talks as if it owns you, and defies your free will. if you follow its orders, you are praised, and the worldview becomes sharper and more detailed. if you don’t, you are chastised, and the world becomes more vague and difficult to navigate, but also more colourful and loud. it’s odd, and sort of eerie, but definitely interesting. take it as you will.

This game really unsettles me. It unsttles me that my first choice to obey, and when I played again and disobeyed, I got really emotional really fast. Failure hurt me more the more I disobeyed. It was… interesting to experience.

some-asshole-with-a-pony-icon-d

i’ve always said we are trained to obey more than to think.

bobateebrek

holy shit. i reblogged this the first time without playing. then i played in and it is terrifying. i very much like this, but it will give you intense feelings.

inarticulate-spaghetti

What’s the game??

bobateebrek

you obey everything the game tells you too, even jumping into barbs and basically killing yourself. if you dont youre chastised and even the scolding is terrifying

theanimatedraccoon

So, essentially, it’s a game that illustrates what it’s like to be in an abusive parents or an abusive relationship - and how it affects you emotionally. That is horrific and ingenious - the next time someone negates the affects of emotional abuse, I’ll take them to this game and let them come to their own conclusions.

phiasmir

This game absolutely gets it. The most solid and reliable degradation is a gendered insult. The more you obey and co-operate, the better understanding you seem to have of your word, and things seem easier. But what really gets me is the contradiction. You are not allowed to have the correct answer. Are you a boy or a girl? The answer is no, I will give you the answer. even towards the end, your “praise” is “no, I will give you the answer. You earned this answer, but it is given to you by me.” Disobeying makes the world frightening and confusing and difficult, but beautiful in a world devoid of flavour.

great that it’s made by a fellow australian too

It’s now a felony in Alabama to give trans kids under 20 hrt or affirmative surgery

Teachers and medical professionals will also be required to out trans kids to their parents

Trans kids on hrt and their parents should get out of Alabama as soon as they can, and if you’re a trans kid in that state and you’re not out to your parents, don’t let any teachers or doctors find out

mullroy

As of March 5th, the bill is not law yet. It has been passed by the Alabama Senate, but it has not been approved by the governor. The article isn’t super clear on how close the House bill is to the Senate bill, either, so the bill may also be delayed while they reach a compromise.

It probably will become law–I don’t particularly trust Kay Ivey, and it could pass with a revote even if she does veto it–but crucially, it isn’t law yet.

Anyone under 20 who is on puberty blockers or HRT and can’t leave Alabama should look into switching their care to an out-of-state facility as soon as possible. EDIT: Trans in the South (link) has a directory of different options for trans-affirming healthcare in southern states. From my understanding, the bill does not make it illegal to possess puberty blockers or HRT that was prescribed out-of-state.

trans-pagans

The ACLU of Alabama has a list of action items as well as a digital tool kit for pushing back on this bill that includes things that folks outside the state can do. I really recommend taking a look at their page for anyone worried about this bill.

I dont really like making rebloggable posts but I haven’t seen anyone mention them yet: terracotta heaters are really easy and effective DYI heaters for cold emergencies and I think it might be helpful considering, you know

TDLR, place a candle of any size down, and put a terracotta pot (as large as possible preferably) over it, with something non-flammable and balanced to keep the bottom an inch or two off the ground, like bricks.

The candle will heat the terracotta, which will put off heat, while the space underneath lets smoke out and oxygen in. I’ve used these all 3 times we had outages here in Maine during blizzards to keep my aquariums warm, the weather outside had been easily -20 F with high winds, and not only was I cozy, that shit kept the water 10 degrees above room temperature. If it can heat the aquariums, it’ll heat a small room.

They work so much better than you’d think, the heat they put off is insane. Obviously be careful because smoke and open flame, but they’re very easy to make and just need an eye kept on them on all times.

Don’t touch the heated pot bare-handed, it’ll burn like a motherfucker, they get VERY hot. Use thick oven mitts or layered rags to remove pot, put the candle out first if you can manage. Don’t do more than one or two in a non-ventilated or closed room, it’s still making smoke and that can make it harder to breathe.

[ID: Two bricks are laid flat, two bricks are stacked on top on their sides. A candle is in a jar inbetween and is lit. A large terracotta pot is balanced on the second, higher set of bricks so it is above the candle and off the ground. End Id]

If you’re in Texas and you’re trying to stay warm during the power outages, here’s some tips from an Illinoisan currently living in Texas. Obviously battery powered heaters or heated blankets can be great, as is a fire in a fireplace. But if those aren’t options for you, try:

1. You can use tape around the edges of doors and windows to prevent drafts, or use towels or blankets to stuff around it. We currently have blankets taped up covering our doors and towels taped over most of our windows. Avoid going into rooms with an outside wall or multiple/large windows, they’re going to be colder.

2. If you’re getting power back every now and then, fill a sock about 2/3 full with rice, lentils, or dry beans, stick it in the microwave for about 30 seconds at a time, checking to see when it’s nice and warm. Then put it at your feet under a blanket.

3. If you have a gas stove, boil a pot of water. You can make tea or soup with it, but even just boiling water will help warm and humidify the home a little. Good for avoiding nosebleeds.

4. Set all your faucets to drip. Moving water in the pipes keeps them from freezing, which is good because you don’t want them to burst.

5. Got a significant other? Kids? Pets? Cuddle them. Never underestimate how much it helps to have another warm body sharing a blanket with you.

6. Do NOT drink alcohol. Yes, it makes you feel nice and warm. It also causes you to LOSE body heat.

7. Move around! Even just bicycling your legs will get your blood flowing, which will help warm you up. Then you can go right back to bundling up.

Signal boost this if you can, texas has dangerously low temperatures (single digits Fahrenheit and lower) and people are without power or heat all over the state.

Adding to this: DO NOT USE GAS APPLIANCES/STOVES/GRILLS AS CONTINUAL HEAT SOURCES INDOORS. THEY CAUSE CO BUILDUP WHICH IS TOXIC. THIS INCLUDES GARAGES.

If you sleep on a spring mattress or a box mattress, lay a blanket on top before getting in. They suck heat from you. (Learning this now. Tried my siblings's foam mattress and OH My God was it cozy!)

If you have fleece or wool blankets, lay one under you and wrap others around you with a polyester or cotton blanket on top. (Like a comforter) The fleece will soak up body heat and trap it with you while the polyester/cotton will help act as a barrier against the cold. (Learned this while homeless)

If you layer clothing, keep fleece and wool on the inside layers, just like the blankets. Sweats and leggings are good inner layers for pants. Jeans on the outside if you can tolerate it.

Sharing this video again on the 2 year anniversary of Change Your Mind for nostalgia’s sake. I started work on this edit the night CYM aired, actually.

Alas, YouTube never allowed me to post it due to super strict copyright with using SU soundclips, so there’s no link in reblogs, ahah.
