I just got a notification on Reddit that I've been "contributing" for 100 days straight. Really gave me a jolt. The last months featured some of the hardest weeks of my life and I didn't miss a _single_ day on Reddit. I fear it's the same for tumblr.

Anyways, I decided to go cold turkey for a while. Don't know how long. Hopefully I'll make it. I went from chainsmoker to smokeless I'm feeling confident I can do this.

Here is a link to my beautiful fursona I had to unpin them for this one

If you want to reach out to me, I still receive my asks

if i ever had godlike powers over the nature of animals i'd just make crabs smarter. like on par with crows or something. you'll walk out onto the pier at night and see a group of crabs working together to drag an unconscious man into the water. you can't help him now. he's gone.

I think you'd like coconut crabs.

I was like "I love you" to my partner and they said "I love you" and I was like "Prommy?" And they were like "I pr--" and then they physically recoiled from me and looked at me like

My partner and I were in bed when I saw this, he was about to fall asleep when I showed it to him. He laughed and said he liked the post. I started to laugh and said "Uh oh I've given you a dangerous weapon, you can't use this word." And he said he wouldn't, and I immediately shot back with "Prommy?" I got him. I got him so good. Light laugh about that, then said he was trying to go to bed, so we said goodnight, I said I love you. He said I love you too. We then locked eyes, my lip quivered, and I started laughing into hysterics. Full blown tears, about to throw up kind of laughs. The mere thought of getting him with two attack "Prommys" sent my body into a crazed state. Probably laughed straight for 5 minutes. After I finally calmed myself down he said, "The least you can do is reblog their post" that added another two minutes of laughing like a crazy person. So thank you, have a weird lovely memory now due to this post.

Fagging it up with the jumpsuit running shoes combo today 👍

Yooo let's go out in a hot outfit what could possibly go wrong!

*clueless*

Yeah unfortunately it's always the question what happens first, the sneer or the catcall. Today it was the latter. Which is kinda impressive because I'm wearing a beard currently

i made this instagram post !!! there isn't as big of a community of AAC users on instagram so I thought I would share this on my instagram (@cytochromesea).

Image ID:

A light blue background with a rainbow and a cloud and some stars. There is a blue border collie with wings holding an aac tablet that says I love you! Text reads: AAC etiquette. Do’s, Don’ts, and other stuff. By cytochrome sea.

The same background appears in every following slide. Text reads:

AAC is my voice! It is not a toy or accessory

Don’t touch my AAC without my permission

Don’t take my AAC away from me, for any reason (joke, punishment, etc)

Don’t press buttons randomly or flip through my communication cards without permission

How would you like it if I randomly poked you on the mouth and throat (or on your hands if you sign)? It would be unpleasant, so don’t do that to me

Some AAC users can speak sometimes. It is not your business why someone can or cannot talk

Don’t ask questions about why an AAC user cannot speak. 

Do let us communicate however is best for us in that moment

Don’t ask us if or when we will be able to speak verbally. It’s not your business 

Do not value verbal speech more highly than AAC. Any communication is good communication

Some of us never talk, either, and that’s ok! Those of us who can talk sometimes are not better than those of us who can’t. None of us owe you an explanation for our use of AAC.

Don’t look at my screen until I show you. It feels really invasive!

It feels like when someone is looking at your phone screen over your shoulder, so please don’t do this

This applies to low tech AAC as well, don’t look at someone’s cards or letter board until they show you

You have the dignity of forming your thoughts in your head before you say them, whereas my thoughts are all on display. Please afford me the same dignity that you get automatically.

Don’t shame someone for not being able to speak verbally. It makes us feel horrible

We are real people with thoughts and feelings. Please treat us with kindness. 

We are trying our best

Don’t shame someone if their device mispronounces a word. It’s quite literally out of our control.

Other Don’ts. Don’t

Don't Treat an AAC user as childish or stupid for not being able to speak. Our ability to speak does not define our worth

Don't Show frustration at the way someone communicates

Don't Make comments about how fast or slow we communicate

Also don’t…

don't Act surprised when we swear or talk about adult topics like sex, drugs, or violence. We are not pure uwu precious smol beans, we are normal fucking people

don't Assume what is “wrong” with us. There are about a hundred reasons for someone to use AAC and you probably aren’t the expert in any of them.

“OK, so what CAN i do?” im glad you asked! When interacting with an AAC user, DO…

Ask us how we prefer to communicate and support us as you are able

Assume that we are competent

Talk to us with the same respect, tone and vocabulary that you would for any one else

Give us money (this one is a joke)

Understand that AAC grammar isn’t perfect and we are doing our best

Is it rude if…

I can’t understand your device? Not rude! Misunderstandings happen all the time in any conversation, just be patient as you would normally. 

I want to complement your AAC? Not rude!

I ask to see your AAC and understand how it works? This isn’t rude if you are already talking about AAC, but don’t ask random strangers this. They don’t owe you an AAC tour. 

Thank you for listening! This post is for the community! If you are an AAC user, let me know if I missed something in the comments and I will pin it! I hope you are filled with peace and love and I hope something good happens to you today! End ID.
