Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

Doing a final project in my stats class, we have to pick a subject and collect data on it. We need at least 100 data points, and I figured this blog is big enough that a poll on here could get to that pretty easily!

Doing my project on if it’s more likely to be born in certain months :]

I have gotten the OK from my teacher to collect data using a Tumblr poll, btw. I’m also going to have to send her this post as proof of where I got the data from / proof I didn’t just make up the numbers. So. Behave

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.

I like this post. Because it shows that sometimes, what at the surface sounds like reinforcement of the norm, is actually necessary for a minority that's not included in the norm.

Y'all have seen this post, right?

It was a vaguepost of a trans man who complained about feeling pressure to be feminine. Yet people refer to it completely outside of queer context.

I’m going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says “something is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.” A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the state’s interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industry’s interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. It’s saying “there are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.”

it does not sound crazy

Nineteen is so incredibly young.

I suffered from depression and suicidal ideation from the age of eight. The few times I brought myself to ask my parents for help, they deflected, insisting that I was just sensitive, shy, a deep thinker. I did well in school and I obeyed my parents, so they didn't think it was a problem. At my worst points, I couldn't be alone with my thoughts at all. Hundreds of times I day, I thought about how much of a worthless burden I was, that I and everyone in my life would be better off if I was dead and gone.

As an adult, I tried numerous medications and treatment plans, some of which alleviated the depression briefly, but it wasn't until I sought out a psychologist that could do ketamine therapy/electroconvulsive therapy as last resort options, that she recognized/diagnosed me with ADHD. It's commonly overlooked in women and girls and often manifests as long-term, treatment resistant depression. I now take a combination of Vyvanse and Auvelity and my suicidal ideation is almost non-existent. Weeks and even months go by without me thinking about dying/killing myself.

The state of the world, especially for women and girls, is harrowing, but giving up on finding the right medication/treatments for a nineteen year old is unbelievably cruel. If my parents or any of the professionals I'd seen over the years had said, "Yes, you're right. It would be for the best if you were dead, and here's how to do it," I would not be alive now.

I was 26 when I was diagnosed, and I'm turning 32 in a few days.

[spare-dignity]

My story is just like yours, but with supportive parents. From age 13 I was in therapy and from age 14 I was being tried on medications, and nothing worked. Eating disorder, gender dysphoria, seizure disorder, alcohol abuse; things kept getting worse on top of my treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. I spent the night before my 19th birthday on a hellish short-term psych unit because the talk about killing myself was too constant and serious to ignore.

At age 28 I switched psychiatrists, and after another suicidal crisis was put on Adderall. I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore. It took 15 years to get to the root of the problem - I don't regret living any of them, horrible as they could sometimes be, and now I have so many more to look forward to.

Letting the mentally tortured girl I was at 13, or 16, or 19 do what she wanted would have been an awful mistake and thrown away a perfectly livable life.
