I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever known and loved and touched and I find fragments of them in my playlists and how I make my tea. we may not know each other any more but we will stay connected like this. I hope a fragment of me is with you too.

“Viktor and Yuuri are Yurio’s parents!” Yeah that’s cute n all but I disagree. V&Y are the strange, cryptid queer uncles that you don’t hear from for a long time, then randomly show up to family gatherings unannounced for the sole purpose of sowing as much chaos as they possibly can.

"i just want non-queers to just see me as a normal person just like them" cool good for you. meanwhile ive been a weird little freak since i was a kid and the world is gonna have to learn to accept me like i am or ill start burning shit

you can be down for simple assimilation for yourself but many of us just want to be respected as is because theres nothing wrong with being different. especially those of us who are also neurodivergent on top of queer or many other things people often ostracize in society.

if you want other queers to water themselves down or just completely close off parts of their identity and self expression so that you wont be associated with those ~freaks~ and can be more easily accepted by The Normies, then you are not caring about your fellow queers at all.

we arent doing any harm, and we should be pushing for people to accept others no matter how HARMLESSLY strange and unusual they may come across. challenging the norm is the only way to get more people accepted across all communities.

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

[icarus-suraki]

May I add?

Touching someone’s face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever

Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees)

Helping an elderly person to walk or sit

[xactodreams]

telling stories around a fire

huddling together for warmth when it’s cold

marveling at sunlight through leaves

wonderment at the brightness of a full moon

bringing food to sick or grieving families

I’m getting real tired of the ableds in my immediate circle proclaiming that the lockdown measures are a form of debilitating inhuman torture and makes life not worth living.

And yeah, this sucks. All of this sucks and is vastly damaging to people’s physical and mental health. We’re enduring a global trauma, the ramifications of which will likely be felt for decades.

But when it was just my daily life being housebound due to my disabilities, it was a-okay for you to abandon me to this life while using phrases like, “must be nice” and “sounds rough,” all said smilingly under the sneering veneer of implied laziness and choice.

So which is it? A fate worse than death you’d never willing choose, or a cake walk? Which is it? *flips table*

[thebibliosphere]

And btw, this is not to invalidate anyone who is struggling with the isolation of lockdown. Because this shit is hard. This is so, so hard and I wish none of us were going through this.

But I also need those people to realize that this is the reality of many of us living with disabilities and chronic conditions. We endure this level of isolation constantly. Sometimes for years and years, if not our whole lives. And it is often not our choice. But it can be the choice of those around us.

And I get it, it sucks when your friend is too ill to go anywhere and you just want to do fun shit. But it sucks worse for them. And you can choose. You can choose to be inclusive and do things they are capable of being a part of. Or you can choose to leave them behind and make assumptions that they’re just being lazy or a bad friend because on some level you can’t help but feel if they really wanted to do something, they’d do it.

All I’m asking for, begging really, is for a little mindfulness. Please stop comparing this life to a fate worse to death. Or if you really must make that comparison, ask yourself why you were okay with some of the most vulnerable people in society being left to endure it on their own. And why it took you a global pandemic to realize the inhumanity of it.

I truly do hope thing get better soon, I really, really do. But please don’t forget about us the moment you can safely go outside. Please don’t take away the newfound accessibilities that have been put into place that we were always told was impossible. Please fight for and with us. We’re so god damn tired.

i’m honestly so glad i learned about sensory overload because for the longest time i just thought i was just really irritable and would feel overwhelmingly Awful for no apparent reason, and it really felt like there was nothing i could do to stop it… when in reality there is a reason i’m feeling this way and i can learn to cope with/prevent it, and often it’s something as simple as needing to change my shirt or block out some sounds or stim

Statistically this is very true! Women tend to not apply to jobs unless they meet 100% of the job requirements, while men typically feel more comfortable applying if they only hit around 60% of the requirements.

“draw what makes you happy” well sir i hope you’re ready for 10+ posts in a row of the same two characters and the same two characters only

I once visited a tiny artist town with my best friend, you know, one of those places with a population of a couple hundred folks who have pretty much all dedicated their lives to art. When I was there, my best friend mentioned I liked to draw so they asked if they could see my sketchbook. I let them, but apologized that it was all drawings of one thing (Sans, whom I was obsessed with at the time)

They responded: “But of course! That’s how you get good at drawing something? Why would you apologize for that?”

So you go, you funky little fanartists - draw that same thing over and over again. That’s good art practice anyway.

All Michelangelo drew were hot men and he’s plenty skilled.
