ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long it’s been since I last said that, let alone messaged.
I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.
Anybody have a protein supplement they like? My appetite has been off for a while now, and if I have to be the Incredible Shrinking Enby, I want to at least try and preserve muscle mass.
I don’t want to commit to a 2lb barrel of something and find out I hate it after I’ve only used about 1/4 cup, but the local Super Supplements only carries single serving packets of one brand, and it has multiple ingredients that are a nope - I’m super sensitive to sugar alcohols, and neither stevia nor monk fruit taste good to me.
I also loathe bananas and the aftertaste of soy protein isolate, and would like to avoid tree nuts due to a combo of an allergic household member and [insert soapbox rant about almond grove water management here]. Unflavored or relatively neutral flavors are a bonus - it can be sweet, but I don’t need my nutritional enhancement to taste like cake pops or Froot Loops, and I can be hit or miss when it comes to peanut butter. But on the flipside, I’m generally an omnivore, so I don’t need it to be vegan.
Anyone have brand suggestions? Amazon has too many choices for me to sift through on a bad ADHD day, Google results are full of ads/scams/AI slop/ad scams about AI slop, and I figure I might have better results in researching manufacturers’ sample availability if I first ask the advice of you lovely people who live inside my phone.
I started listening to the cree radio station because its the only one left in my range that doesnt play alberta separatist ads now and those make me see red like some sort of bull, which is not safe while im behind the wheel of a vehicle going 110
Why haven't they told me about the cree all-purpose radio station sooner. They play everything from the 50s to today. Half of their ads and one of their shows is in cree which I do not speak a lick of but thats fine, they play banger music. They give me local news updates that arent dripping with UCP cocksucking. They tell me about things that affect a demographic I otherwise hear very little about by virtue of being a white guy in alberta.
We are holding hands. We are learning about other cultures. We are listening to 60s rock and roll and then an elder will tell us stories about his youth. I am enamored. I am in love.
Lots of people in the notes have asked me to drop the radio station im talking about here. If youre in the Edmonton area the frequency is 89.3, and when we went on a trip recently we got pretty reliable signal all the way to Ponoka. If youre outside of it or international you can get the live broadcast at ravenradio.ca
They also have a retro hour at noon every day and do language lessons for allies
So Twitter’s a shithole, and Facebook’s a shithole, and I’m hot and cold on TikTok (if it even gets to stick around, plus I don’t want to post videos), and Substack has a goose-stepper problem, and Bluesky mods are doing a speed run on treating marginalized people just like post-Elon Twitter, and I don’t seem to have the attention span for Dreamwidth.
Maybe I should walk away from social media, or maybe I should give Tumblr another shot since the management here, while also apparently shitty, also seem too distracted by other shit most of the time to torment the more vulnerable members of their user base.
So, time to clean up my follows since I’m pretty sure at least one of them has been outed as a monster in the years that I’ve been mostly elsewhere. Any recommendations on who I should follow that I’m not already?
i started a gofundme with my partner today, to get us out of texas to a state that's more hospitable to trans women & disabled people. i sent a little tweet, to start sharing the link, and a couple people asked if i was sharing it on tumblr, and i said "i'm gonna make a longer post about it for tumblr!"
i've been trying to write that longer post all night. i just... i don't have it in me. i'm exhausted, and i'm terrified. i know the version of this post i should be writing is a little upbeat, and for the emails to my family & Facebook & insta & all that shit i'll be my best self.
here i feel like i can just tell you... y'all, i'm scared. the legislation is scary, but the people - people i know! i've lived in texas my whole life, i've got texan roots grown deep! - are scarier. i used to feel at home in austin. i used to say there wasn't a neighborhood i didn't feel like i belonged in, at least a little.
now, i get stared at at best, yelled at and followed at worst, every time i step outside my door.
i'm scared. i'm tired. and i'm so, so sad to have to leave my home.
please share this post. i'm not gonna lean on you to donate, i don't want you feeling guilty if you can't. lord knows it's hard these days. but please do help this message spread.
Hello dear friends, family, and strangers,
This is for a trans, disabled, and qu… Chenoah S. needs your support for Dizzy and Chenoah's
ok so apparently TERFs believe that when we say something along the lines of "reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050" that we're actually serious.
anyway reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050
This post has riled a lot of people. For what it's worth, my point wasn't that technology is bad and Edison was a witch, my point was that any industry that can be killed by unionizing should be.
the dehumanization of high-risk people at almost year 3 of the pandemic is so enormously scary and painful.
“high risk people will protect themselves” how? did you think about that? are we able to go grocery shopping? are we able to see loved ones? are we able to access lifesaving medical appointments? no! you refuse to protect us!
“I think you’re taking covid too seriously” I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I’m a human, too, and I don’t want to die! Look at me — I’m a human!

"Abled entitlement ensures your risk assessment will always be, 'if I get sick, I will be able to recover OK. My family will be OK. My children will be OK.' Never, 'Will they be OK? Will their children be OK? Will their family be OK? Will everyone they might also interact with be OK?' Never, 'Could this harm their neighborhood? Their state? Their country? Their continent?' Shielded by your abled privileged bravado of 'it won’t happen to me.' Never, 'Who might I be exposing? I might be OK, but someone else may not.'
[...]
Abled supremacy means that many of you mistakenly think that if you do get COVID and if you end up with long COVID, that the state will take care of you or that your community will. You believe this because you do not know about the lived reality of disability in this country. [...] Our government does not care about the disabled people that already exist.
[...]
You interrogate your privilege, but never your abled privilege. You educate yourself about oppression, but never ableism. You love your queer, BIPOC, working class, abolitionist, anti-racist, feminist, immigrant communities, but never seem to remember that disabled people exist in these and every community.
[...]
When you talk to me about racial justice or housing justice or healing justice or gender justice, who exactly are you talking about? Whose justice are you fighting for? Because it never seems to include disabled people or if it does, it is only in theory, not practice; only to make yourself look better. Or it is only when disabled people are in the room or when we initiate the conversation.
[...]
I need you to not only say that you are in solidarity with disabled people or that you value disability justice; I need you to practice it. I need you to engage in the hard conversations with fellow abled people about vaccines and boosters, masks and canceling indoor in-person gatherings, unnecessary travel and work. Many disabled people have been doing this labor because we do not have a choice.
[...]
This pandemic will create millions more disabled people with chronic illnesses. Are we ready for what is coming next? Are we prepared for how many more disabled people with chronic health conditions there will be? Are we ready for how that will and should necessarily shift our movements and political work? Or are we going to continue to shut out disability and disabled people from movements and communities? Are we going to continue to not include ableism and abled supremacy in our liberation work?
[...]
Interdependence asks us to imagine new ways forward with intention and soulful commitment to each other. We need you. We need all of us. There is no getting out of this pandemic alone. There is no stopping the spread or pushing our government, schools and businesses to do more, alone. We need each other. We need each other. We need each other."
Dusting this off since it seems pretty likely that Elon is going to trip over his own dick and finish burning Twitter to the ground before the end of the week. Hey y’all.
So, I started this a little while ago, but I’m not really sure what I want out of my Tumblr experience. And the fact that my work blocks the site makes it difficult to keep up. But Facebook and Twitter are Nazi-infested trash fires. So. What keeps you coming back? Why here over any other social media?
