good morning to everyone ever

[tim-official]

even those with evil in their hearts? even them?

[lokaror]

maybe if i say good morning enough the evil will leave their hearts,..

[rambunctious-raccoon]

This is my philosophy!

People are always arguing whether red or blue is Monday's color. I personally believe red and I know people who believe something else entirely. I'd be curious to see what you think!

So if you have synesthesia/ attribute colors to the days of the week, please answer this survey. I'll share the results once I am done :)

Which day is what color?

This is a survey about people with synesthesia. I am interested to see if there is any correlation between the varying answers. Your email-a

I did it :)

I saw a very cool non-binary person at the Ren Faire the other day and they had the coolest jacket ever and a very cool skirt and they looked so cool. I'm not out to the friends I was with but I couldn't stop smiling because their presence made me feel safe. Like. They were here and they were slaying and they got to be happy. That gave me hope.

This is trans joy!!!

Happy pride to the 'cringe' and 'weird' queer/trans people. The people who collect microlabels like pokemon cards. The people who use only neopronouns. The people who dress in bright colours and have fun names. The people who use a variety of nounself pronouns, or no pronouns at all. The people who use labels that 'conflict' with each other. You are so very important and you enrich our community more than you will ever know.

Your identity does not have to be palatable to others to be respected. You do not need to conform. You deserve to explore and label yourself however you want.

one of the teachers at my school uses he/they pronouns and is openly queer and they’re so cool and it’s like oh. Me, a queer person can grow up to live a happy life. I can be a happy adult and be queer at the same time.

This is trans joy!!!

if you want to feel real visceral horror about genocide denial propaganda produced for young children, check out the song Elbow Room from Schoolhouse Rock

genuinely i feel this song should be taught in schools for how fucking awful it is. and i am generally a fan of Schoolhouse Rock as a concept for teaching children, but the entire series on US history is whitewashed in every sense and its really clear how lovingly made, catchy, and nostalgic genocide & human rights violation denial propaganda can be.

Shout out to feminine trans men.

The men who love their skirts and dresses.

The men who love their makeup and heels.

The men who are drag queens, party princesses.

The men who are soft spoken and delicate.

Then men wrapped in silk and lace.

I love feminine trans men. (because I am one)

the thing about everyone's desire to immediately call an ambulance when they encounter a psychotic person is that it's just perpetuation of ugly laws. it's not for our benefit and it never was. we are inconvenient to their framing of society and psychotic people make apsychotic people "uncomfortable." the classic way to deal with disabled people whose presence makes you uncomfortable is the whisk them away to institution.

on my post about not calling the cops on psychotic people who are just trying to exist in public and have a conversation everyone and their mother is saying "yeah! call an ambulance instead!" why? why does someone talking in a different way about something you don't understand demand an ambulance? examine this. is there an actual threat to them going on or are you just uncomfortable?

harry kim gets janeway a birthday gift. he’s very proud, wraps it in a bow and everything. she opens it in her ready room.

it’s a black t-shirt with bad graphic art of a wolf howling at the moon and it says “throw me to the wolves and I’ll come back leading the pack”. you know, the kind of thing boomer dads that imagine themselves protectors eat up.

she loves it. has to wipe a tear from her eye. it becomes the new pajama shirt. kathryn janeway working until two in the morning in her quarters in the stupid wolf shirt with a mug that says “quadrant’s best captain” on it.

people without empathy deserve to be alive

people with morbid thoughts deserve to be alive

people who don't feel guilt or remorse deserve to be alive

people who fantasize about violence deserve to be alive

people who don't care for friendships deserve to be alive

people who don't desire to "contribute to society" deserve to be alive

people who are aloof or callous deserve to be alive

people who don't follow social norms deserve to be alive

none of these types of people are inherently bad, evil, dangerous, or untrustworthy. personality traits and social preferences do not define someone's right to exist or be treated like a human being. and, if it's wanted, people with these traits can be just as good friends as people without these traits.

you're not better than them if you're an empathetic, sensitive, passive, extroverted, etc. plenty of "empaths" or popular members of a community are abusive. your actions are what matter most, not what emotions you feel/don't feel, or how social you are.

[this-is-adultism]

Not being allowed to close my door or have devices in my room because I'm "not mature enough" for those privileges.

This is adultism.

People, including kids, have a right to privacy.

concert venues always check your bags and pockets for weapons but today they have made the mistake of overlooking my simple coil of hempen rope with which i will lasso the main act from the stage and ransom them to their record label for treasure

I think one of the missing links in the "How can you be a psych abolitionist if you choose to use psych meds?" discussion (besides the obvious and fundamental consent/autonomy aspect) is reconceptualizing things like neurochemical medication as adaptive tools for a disability, tools to help the user do something xe has difficulty doing, rather than treatment for an illness.

I have difficulty managing the stresses of daily life without becoming overwhelmed and debilitated by anxiety. That is disabling. A drug that blunts my anxiety response is an adaptive tool I choose to use to manage my disability.

I don't have to use that tool. I didn't always use that tool. When I choose to forgo that tool or don't have access to it, I just Am More Anxious.

I also choose to wear eyeglasses to improve my eyesight. I could choose not to wear them, but then I wouldn't be able to see very well. It's okay not to see very well (plenty of people don't), but especially in a highly visually-oriented society, I would rather wear glasses and see things.

I don't think of my glasses or my duloxetine as treatments for illnesses. They're tools I choose to use to improve abilities I don't naturally possess much of (seeing past my nose, managing daily stress without panic).

i’m sure you could buddy

Can't job shit just work like the dark brotherhood in the elder scrolls like I do some corpus linguistics study for fun and I get a note that says WE KNOW with the handprint and everything and then a university person comes to me when I'm sleeping and is like use this code at this door and we'll pay you to do studies reliably forever and it doesn't matter if we're in a different part of the country because you can fast travel as long as there isn't an enemy nearby
