Hiya!

You can call me Bugs, she/her (or 🐜/🐜s, if you're feeling fancy). I'm a queer, chronically ill and disabled young adult.

Important, please note:

- Social interactions aren't my favourite thing, so please be patient with me!

- I do all my reading and posting from a phone, so if you're using a different device and things seem visually funky, that might be why!

My tags:

Reblogs4Bugs - reblogs (not used anymore! Because I now reblog things often enough the tag isn't useful! You might see it on older posts)

Blethers4Bugs - chat and stories

Answers4Bugs - answered asks

Obligatory Bug Post - actually bugs!

I write fanfiction!

I am Blankets4Fleas on AO3 if you were wondering. I mainly read, but I do have a fic on the go and probably a neglected WIP (or ten) in the works. I also am getting into podfic-ing!

If you're coming here from AO3, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay.

Music forever playing in my soul

kids of color, you’re allowed to get a bitey when a white friend does something racist. literally 0 percent of people of color are obligated to be nice and palatable for white people. holding your tongue in the name of kindness doesn’t really do much in regards to stuff like this because white people are going to see you calling out their own racism as unkind anyways. white people, if a person of color comes off as aggressive while calling you out for racism, just fucking listen to them. they’re not coming from nowhere, and believe it or not: they know more about racism than you do! shocker, i know. just thickskin it, because it’s really not about you.

The notes on this post get a 0 for reading comprehension. There’s probably a pretty good reason OP deactivated, unfortunately.

To anyone new to using mobility aids, thinking about getting one or has one they can't quite convince themselves to use, here's a piece of advice from someone who's been there:

If you are pissing people off, you're doing it right.

If you are scared people are judging you, if people actually are judging you, if you think even the idea of talking about trying a mobility aid would make people judge you, you are doing it right.

If people who don't know you are making or could make assumptions about a body you've lived in much longer than they've been looking at it, you are doing it right.

Pissing people off and still choosing to prioritise your health and your quality of life?

You are doing it right.

Gotta compliment him on his reflexes. No hesitation. Just described exactly what he was seeing, regardless of what it was.

[VD: A weatherman is giving a report and pointing to a map, saying "feel like temperatures really take a tumble too, because after the storm-" before he is interrupted by the screen going black and then displaying a picture of some baby spinach. He says, "um," then immediately points to the screen and confidently announces, "this is baby spinach." /End VD]

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.
