I AM STILL IN PAIN. NOTHING IS IMPROVING.
I am still starving, exhausted, and terrified I may not wake up one day. Please don’t ignore this.
Guys… I say this with a broken heart. Severe malnutrition caused by hunger in Gaza may take my life.
What terrifies me most is leaving my little siblings alone in this nightmare.
IF I DIE, PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY SURVIVE AFTER ME.

thinking abt disabled ppl especially intellectually &/ developmentally disabled (I/DD) people without sexual agency
I/DD people who need 24/7 supervision. those who not need it but given it anyway bc people who make these decision s never bother check otherwise. disabled ppl in nursing homes n group homes n institutions. but 24/7 watched in own home also— who not get privacy wanted to masturbate. who get phone monitored n checked n can’t sext.
who not get people (friends, partners, not to mention sex workers) over without extensive paperwork n bureaucracy n risk assessment meetings n long pre approval, if even allowed get those. who even if get to come over, supervised or constantly randomly checked in where impossible have sex.
I/DD people who whether get date, get have sex, be topic of so many people business, so many meetings with so many peoples from care team (sometimes everyone but the disabled person themself), risk assessments, guidelines n rules n limits with consequences of be see as not fit & have sexuality right revoked or labeled non compliant if not follow.
ppl w intellectual and or cognitive disabilities who really do need other people help with risk n danger n safety n make decision n make informed consent bc struggle be aware of it, who still want n deserve sexual expression n right to decide, without struggle be use as evidence abt how we or all I/DD disabled ppl not able have sex or can’t consent, or be overprotected.
I/DD & cognitive disabled ppl who honestly wanna do risky n impulsive things without be made think through n justify before hand, who maybe just wanna go clubbing n hookup w strangers or what have you, because deserve dignity of risk like everyone else
disabled ppl who no ability / not allowed / assumed can’t control own money, who purchases monitored. or whose stuff get constantly touched n reorganized n searched, whether because need other people help clean, or because overprotective n abuse… can’t buy and or can’t keep sex toys around.
even if progressive parents / family / caregivers / even contracted hired support workers do think the I/DD or otherwise disabled adult under their care should be allow do adult stuff like date n sex, may then be called sexually abusive n grooming n “child” predator by professionals n doctors n others in care teams n contracted agencies n government (bc so many disabled ppl rely on disability related government assistance n vouchers) — people who the disabled adult & family rely on n often can’t just “go find better option.” who may at worst get adult protective services called on or investigation opened n have disabled person under care removed, which be bad in any situation but if also have other identities that compound n be put at disproportionate more risk, like be person of color, face even more risk n often even harsher penalties.
disabled adults who use pediatric equipments — because developmental disability & syndromes often come w short stature or at least smaller physical size (on top of already idea of I/DD people be forever children) — who get treated similar
disabled ppl with very limited movement ability or very low motor skills (think high level complete / near complete SCI, ALS, other forms of tetraplegia quadriplegia paralysis, muscular dystrophy, severe brain injury, n once again developmental disability syndromes, etc), who can’t masturbate alone who need another person (partial / complete) help masturbate n also need lots of help n support during sex
disabled ppl who need carers whose care plan specify carer leave by certain hour of night (often early like 10) n so need be in bed by then
support workers who want support n assist but not allowed to
disabled ppl who wanna hire sex worker, whether because can’t do sex n masturbation alone, or because dating while disabled very complicated n ppl not wanna date n have sex w disabled people esp visibly severely disabled people, or because lonely, or simply because just want to! who not allowed bc supervised n watched n monitored (talked before), stigma toward disabled sexuality + stigma toward sex work come together
I/DD ppl who date whose nondisabled or less disabled or invisibly disabled partners automatic called groomer or saint, or with disabled partner n be see as less legitimate relationship or shouldn’t reproduce or etc etc
disabled ppl whose disability be fetishized without consent
disabled people whose disability aid (like diapers n incontinence products) be more associated w fetish n that be what people automatic assume n thus judge n be rude n mock abt it or be weirdly sexual toward you fetish you, rather than fact it disability aid (in fact more often used as disability aid). n then ppl w that fetish also have minimal solidarity with disabled people even though they use disability aid. (not kink shame, but like, can you see how that annoying n uncomfortable).
disabled children esp I/DD children not get taught sex ed bc assumed not need it shouldn’t need it. who not taught sexual anatomy. who not taught pleasure. who not taught kink. who not taught queer n trans n intersex stuff & sexuality n sex n anatomy related to it. who not taught boundaries, how say no, when say no. who not taught what count as abuse n who n how to report abuse when happen. who even if got sex ed, taught abstinence only, taught cis & het & perisex normative only, or taught overprotective only.
nonverbal nonspeaking minimally verbal & (often I/DD) children (and adults) with complex communication needs & thus AAC (augmentative & alternative communication) users, whose AAC not come with anatomically accurate body parts language (e.g for medical needed for simple UTI to STI n beyond) n anatomically correct icon symbols that many I/DD AAC users rely on, or slangs ppl use in bedrooms n casual friend convo n outside doctor office (imagine only able say words like “penis & testicles & vagina & intercourse & penetration” when have sex w partner), or even, bare minimum n not even enough of “private parts” n even that missing. whose AAC be programmed by other people (whether bc AAC user themself cannot or not allowed do it), other people can freely hide n delete words n undo changes others or AAC users made. who not be taught how to use these words.
disabled ppl who for whatever reason can’t masturbate cant have sex can’t talk about it can’t learn abt it whenever they n their sex partner want to bc of ableism
disabled people who not have sexual agency.

well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better
i am at a complete loss as to how to adequately express to you how much this cat throws up yeah

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant
oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men
Lil Nas X gives a life update.
people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.
Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼
Us fandom adults should really just go on strike. 3 months minimum where we don't post fic, we don't comment, we don't buy merch. Then we’ll see how fun the Lego Ninjago community is for anyone under 60 😂
“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing.
“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”
She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”
After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”
then the mother entreats a holy man:
prove to me that you're divine
turn my daughter into wine
but the holy man is really Circe who turns her into a swine instead
