why did things get weird

really confused about the current format of this website and it becomes increasingly disconnected from the version that exists of it in my memories, probably why my visits are so infrequent

but since i’m typing, i’ll say that life is pretty okay right now. things keep moving forward, this past year has propelled me into all sorts of new experiences that have allowed me to learn and grow more than i’d imagined i would in such a short time. i’m about to graduate from university with my bachelors degree and have a lot of big decisions to make really soon. sometimes it is hard to think about life outside of increments and it’s hard to grasp how much time has passed since blogging was an essential part of me getting through the day. nothing seems essential to me now. i’ve accepted that things are always subject to change, even if there is no intention of it

we need to talk about pete wentz.

(TW rape, csa)

We need to talk about Pete Wentz, and I ask you to bear with me because I need to talk about it in this way, with this setting–it feels crucial, even though it probably isn’t.

A front seat, skin prickling, the tips of my fingers numb, forehead against the window–Silver Spring in August, heat and humidity pressing itself against the glass even in the dark, my ears buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, some cicadas still hanging around. The DC suburbs feel empty, yawning this time of year, everyone cleared out to their beach houses at Rehoboth or Myrtle or—I’ve never been to Ocean City, even, have never much taken to the sun and swelter. The ocean is blue, blue, blue, but it feels far away.

So wear me like a locket around your throat I’ll weigh you down I’ll watch you choke You look so good in blue You look so good in blue

I have a really exciting Spoonie Living announcement for y'all! When I started on my 6-month medical leave from work, one of my goals was to create a zine for new spoonies, to help them hit the ground running as they begin their chronic illness experience. I’m calling it Chronically Badass, and it’s finally done!

Here’s what I cover inside:

Spoon theory

Getting answers

Working with doctors

Work & school

Friends & family

Reactions

Mental health

Coping strategies

Online communities

Mobility

It’s free for download right here (although you’re welcome to donate if you like), so be sure to check it out! Just set the price to $0, and the credit card fields will disappear.

Please also reblog and spread the word so others can find and benefit from this zine.

[spoonie-living]

I love that this is making the rounds again! Thanks to everyone who’s been rebageling :) And to my new readers, did you know that I have a zine?

home feels like 

a full fridge, with ingredients

i know how to use. 

the breeze from the sliding

screen door moves the 

blinds and it smells like summer.

your music fills the space between

us, we glance at one another 

across the room with little 

smiles. it is only two steps 

to reach your arms that 

always welcome me

when i want to kiss

the smile on your face

Autists are the ultimate square pegs, and the problem with pounding a square peg into a round hole is not that the hammering is hard work. It’s that you’re destroying the peg.

Not gonna lie, I really like wearing all three of these at once. But today is Arthrogryposis Awareness Day! So I’m celebrating by wearing all of the bracelets I own as well as painted nails that I really love and a blue tank top. I have some posts planned for today as well, so keep an eye out for those. I don’t know when I’ll get around to writing them since I have a lot I have to work on today but I will get them done eventually. Also a huge shout out to musicislove for the “Arthrogryposis: 1 in 3,000 Born Awesome!” bracelet! If you want one or any of her other cool art, check out her Etsy shop!

reminder series: bleak yet comforting thoughts.

i specifically chose animals that are (or believed to be) extinct due to human influence: thylacine, great auk, baiji, west african black rhino, golden toad, dodo, passenger pigeon, and quagga. there are many other species i could have included. the plants are also based on extinct species, but i found much less information about extinct plants, unfortunately.

the text doesn’t necessarily relate to each animal or their extinction. it’s all basically the same idea: let’s all be nice to each other, because today, the universe is vast and incomprehensible, we are all suffering, we are all going to die, and we’re all in this together. for today.

i’m busy for a couple weeks with conventions, but after that i’m considering a companion series with ancient extinct animals, so feel free to send me your favorites :)

If you have the ability to pay for it, are close enough to one, and can get transport there and back a lot of grad schools that have psych programs offer therapy for cheap so that the students can get in the hours they need. University of Louisville for example offers…

[karliemarxx]

did not take the time to click into this but from what i’m reading, this is how i access my mental health services! i pay a flat rate of $10 every session and i can go as frequently as i want. only thing they require of me is that they can record our sessions to help the grad students be evaluated and practice their methods. i feel good about helping someone earn their degree and it allows me to get help without my parents knowing about it!
