disabled ppl we need to start lying to nosy people okay? you tell me i'm too young to need a cane and i will tell you point blank that maybe you should tell that to the guy who ran me over. you don't get an explanation of my health issues you get lies and depending on how much of an asshole i want to be that lie will be anything from a humble car crash to a 1 billion lions attack. mind yr business.
"i could never live like that" well maybe you'll have to because this happened overnight. yeah you heard me i was the most able bodied man in the world but then one morning bam i woke up disabled. yeah you could have that too. there's no cure either you'll just wake up one morning and now you have to live like me
"what happened" well have you ever seen looney tunes? yeah an anvil landed on me and squished me flat.

quick addition: as far as I know, all books by Andrew Joseph White have autistic trans men (or trans boy) protagonists. I've read "You Weren't Meant to Be Human" (his adult horror) and absolutely loved it
also, check out the Disability Book Archive - they have a page for LGBTQ+ books
also also, I'm a queer + disabled author and I wrote a book with a queer, disabled protagonist: it's called "Up the Entropic Hill" and it is an existential space opera
“june is over so now it’s gay wrath month” blah blah reminder that july is disability pride month and is often ignored and disregarded!! funnel that wrath into advocating for your disabled peers and amplifying their voices
as a fellow Queer, i don’t mind the “gay wrath month” jokes at all, BUT it’s also good to remember that July is disability pride month

what can you do to celebrate disability pride month? a few things!
educate yourself on the history of the disability rights movement: some articles on PBS, the WHO website, and the UN
get informed about important issues. for example, did you know that many countries (including USA) do not have marriage equality for disabled people due to restrictions on government support?
learn about the ways disabled people have contributed to the world over the years – obviously no one needs to be “”useful”” to deserve love and support, but appreciating the achievements of disabled individuals is wonderful nonetheless
support disabled creators, activists, and organizations: you could start with the disability book archive or this list of advocacy and self-determination groups
a quick practical one: learn how to make good image descriptions (this is something I need to get more consistent at as well!)
stay curious and open-minded about disability: we are a pretty big minority (1 in 6 people is disabled worldwide, and in some countries, that number is 20% or higher) and a very diverse group, so there’s always something new to learn
as a bonus, you could also support me: I’m disabled and on my 11th month of job search with little to no prospects; the career counselor at the unemployment office told me that “youtuber” is one of my best career options so that should give you an idea of how cooked i am :)
you can support me on ko-fi, watch some of my video essays (I have a two-parter on the history and future of disability for example), buy my book, “Up the Entropic Hill” (existential space opera with an autistic protagonist), or just follow me wherever
its interesting being a weird autistic tranny as a kid and letting yourself get accustomed to the idea that youre just some magically antisocial loser who is "introverted" and is happy being alone and then you grow up and realize that actually you love being social you love hugs you love going out and hate being alone you just hated all of the social opportunities available to you growing up so much you let yourself romanticize solitude as a slightly less miserable state than interacting with people
[image ID: screenshot of a social media story by user "jennydianelewis". it is titled "guy in community college wrote an essay intro so bad that I've kept it in my notes app for the past 3.5 years". the note reads "The movie I did my essay on was The Matrix. In reality, this is a movie, but could it be deeper than that? To me, parts of this "movie" could be a documentary". end ID]
i think they should put doctor who in the public domain and let us all start taking cracks at it on youtube
I kinda stopped expecting anything of myself, including my video essay """career""", and it is mostly a healthy choice. I don't want to get my hopes up or set myself standards for something I do for free and purely for the love of the game. I can't really control my trajectory with it either, other than trying to make every video a little bit better than the previous.
But ngl, seeing my channel mentioned next to a whole bunch of other video essayists that I watch and love and admire, in the description of a video of my favourite video essay channel... it did something to my brain chemistry.
Anyway if you're into video essays and not subscribed to the Leftist Cooks, this is your sign to go check them out. Perhaps starting from this video that will go live today.
Homemade Electrolyte Mix
Guess what, folks! It's summer! And it's gonna be a hot one, because they all are, recently :(
Did you know you can lose about a liter of water, a gram of sodium, and 300mg potassium in an hour of profuse sweating? If you're working outside in the heat, or even just existing in a very hot and humid environment, you're gonna want to replace the electrolytes you're losing, and you're gonna have to be purposeful about it.
But electrolyte drink mixes, while convenient, are surprisingly expensive for what they are. So I'm going to give you a top secret recipe that you can whip up for literal pennies that will replace what you're losing in sweat.
1 liter of water
1/2 tsp table salt (about 1g of sodium)
1/8 tsp potassium chloride salt substitute (about 350mg potassium. NuSalt is a popular brand, it's sold near the salt at the grocery store. If you don't have this, replace 6oz (180ml) of the water with orange juice or eat something high in potassium, like a banana, each hour you're sweating)
6-8 tsp of granulated sugar (you do actually need this and not a no calorie alternative- sugar helps speed up the absorption of electrolytes in the gut. You can omit if using orange juice for your potassium source, though!)
Lemon or lime juice for flavor, optional
Mix together and drink 1 liter for each hour you're profusely sweating. Adjust your intake so that your pee is light yellow.
If you want to make this mix ahead of time, put 1x the recipe of salt, sugar, and potassium, along with unsweetened Kool Aid powder or crystalized lemon or lime juice, in a small baggie. I do not recommend putting multiple servings worth in a baggie, as the ingredients settle differently and you might not get the right ratio.
NOTE: like any electrolyte drink, it works better if you sip it instead of chugging. If you chug it, you end up pooping out a lot of your electrolytes, even with the sugar.

The recent hot VS cold polls have made me realise that a lot of people have no idea how to cool down.
As someone from a hot country that's regularly on fire, here's some tips:
WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! WATER! IS! YOUR! FRIEND! You can transfer SO much heat into this bad boy! You cannot cool down without water!
Wrists under the cold tap. Splash your face and the back of your neck. Fan yourself.
In some countries you can buy a little handeld fan with a water sprayer.
Damp tea towel around the neck. Stick an ice pack in there on hotter days.
Half fill a water bottle with water, stick in freezer. If you use a bottle with a straw, make sure it's lying on its side with the straw side up and out of the water. When frozen top up the rest of the way with tap water and off you go.
Desperate to cool off? Wet T-shirt. Sit in front of a fan. This will nuke it, just don't get hypothermia and don't fall asleep like this.
Cold showers are also your friend in summer. Some people get psyched up by these. Personally, I sleep like a baby, so I'm good to have them before bed. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cool to circulate, so your body will tell you that you're colder than you actually are. I find that when I have cold showers I need to step out of the spray when I think I'm cold... I'll just wait, and thirty seconds later the temperature has evened out and I actually need to step under again. Rinse and repeat until you maintain coolness even after stepping out for a bit.
If you can't do cold showers, turn the cold shower on anyway and just stick your arms under. When they're cold, lift your arms up above your head. The sensation of cool blood draining into your body is fucking weird and kinda unpleasant but less unpleasant than being hot.
Feet in a tub of water with ice. Blood naturally flows to your extremities when hot, so take advantage of this. If you don't have a tub of ice water, sticking a wet rag on your feet in front of the fan works too, it's the less powerful version of the wet T-shirt.
Drinks lots of water but make sure that water has electrolytes as well. Stay in the shade.
Keep air circulating. Fans don't actually cool rooms down, they just help transfer heat from your body to the moisture on your skin or the air via evaporative cooling.
Block north facing windows early in the morning so the sun doesn't get in. If you're in the northern hemisphere, this is opposite for you. Keep in mind that if your home is brick, the bricks will still heat up and slowly release heat into your home even after the sun goes down so this will only do so much.
If it's hotter inside than outside, close all your windows but two, making sure they're on opposite sides of the house/unit you're in. Point a fan out of one window, making sure that the doors between the rooms with the open windows are all open. This will help create a mini pressure system in your home, pulling cooler air in and pushing the hotter air out via the fan. Bonus points if you can get that fan high up where the hot air rises; even within a single room the top is much hotter than the air by the floor. Adjust the amount of open windows based on how many fans you have, but generally you want more windows with fans open than windows without fans to keep the pressure correct.
Obviously, use your common sense for these. Not everything WILL work for you, just use the stuff that does and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Some of these will be impossible to use in the workplace but others you can still use. Others are best used at home. If humidity impacts your ability to use any of these, get a dehumidifier if that's an option, or use more ice instead of evaporation.
Also keep in mind that the skinnier you are, the faster these will work. More fat means more insulation, means more heat, so you may need to be more patient with some of these or use them in combination.
Bringing this back for my dying mutuals
anyone knows stuff about fungi and can identify this absolute unit? I don't have anything for scale but it is the size of a football at least. I'm in the south of Poland if that helps
edit: I think it might be a Meripilus giganteus but I didn't do very well in the fungi systematics class so I may be completely wrong
kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say “i’m in love with you” and the other one replied “sword slash to the chest. and you’re on fire”
