scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~
scars in real life:Ā so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife
generational difference between people who learnt the word kin on tiktok and think it is a fun way of saying u identify somewhat with a character VS people who learnt the word kin on tumblr where people would threaten each other about kin lists because they genuinely believed they were a manifested reincarnation of karkat homestuck
genuinely people would have tiered lists of kins, from it's okay to follow me if you kin this, to never interact w me if any of your mutuals are kin w this because this is literally me
Fred Trump III describes conversations with his uncle about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
He sounded interested and even concerned. I thought he had been touched by what the doctor and advocates in the meeting had just shared about their journey with their patients and their own family members. But I was wrong.
āThose people . . . ā Donald said, trailing off. āThe shape theyāre in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.ā
I truly did not know what to say. He was talking about expenses. We were talking about human lives. For Donald, I think it really was about the expenses, even though we were there to talk about efficiencies, smarter investments, and human dignity.
I turned and walked away
[from later in the article]
Donald took a second as if he was thinking about the whole situation.
āI donāt know,ā he finally said, letting out a sigh. āHe doesnāt recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.ā
Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesnāt recognize me? That I should just let him die?
Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida?
Really?
[...]
Maybe I shouldnāt have been surprised to hear Donald say that. It wasnāt far off from what heād said that day in the Oval Office after our meeting with the advocates. Only that time, it was other peopleās children who should die. This time, it was my son.
When youāre legitimately so evil you tell a parent, your own fucking nephew, to their face that itād be more cost-effective to let their child die because they are disabled.
Honestly, it's not the ableism or eugenics that shocks me. Donald Trump has shown who he is time and time again. I guess what got me was that heād be willing to hold the same views for family members.
Usually these types of people make exceptions for their own. āItās not immoral if itās my abortion, Iām only doing this because I have no choice, mine is necessaryā kind of thing.
But nope. Donald just straight up thinks his great nephew should die because itās expensive to keep him alive.
Jesus Wept.
Fucking vote. Please, Iām begging you. As a disabled immigrant who isnāt able to vote I see so many people saying theyāre going to boycott the election by not voting and I want to scream.
You boycott products by withholding money.
Not voting in elections only disenfranchises yourself. Youāre not protesting. Youāre giving tyrants power.
Please vote like peopleās lives depend on it because they do.
If you need help figuring out how to register I will help you but please. Please vote.
I've never really gotten the whole abstaining from voting thing tbh. I've grown up in Texas my whole life and I've always worried about what human rights violations my state government will commit next.
Let me tell you all something: living in a republican-led government is hell. It is hell. We have zero worker protections or rights. Our bosses are legally not required to give us breaks unless we're currently breastfeeding. No bathroom breaks, no water breaks, nothing. You could work for fourteen hours straight without a break (ask me how I know.)
LGBTQIA folks live in fear of being killed by rabid nazis. They have no protections whatsoever. Our governor and his gaggle of loons do not see them as people.
Personally as a cis female dating a cis male, I am constantly worried of my birth control failing and possibly having a ectopic pregnancy. Tell me, if that happens, where can I go to get care? Oh right, the closest place is Colorado or New Mexico which would take me like a whole day to get there. (Literally a whole day, I live near Paris, TX)
Everyone telling themselves and others to not vote because Kamala Harris isn't perfect and they'll have their own revolution on their own time is either A) incredibly naive or B) a troll trying to manipulate the masses into not voting and allowing Trump to win a second term.
I'm assuming good faith so I'm going with A for now.
Us folks in Texas are suffering. I don't doubt those in other red states are doing poorly as well. My point is that we can't say we're going to have a leftist revolution and overthrow the Christofacist dictatorship while Project 2025 is in effect.
Another Trump administration would be beyond devastating to us all. Even if you live in the bluest of blue places. Take it from me. Listen to me. Learn from me.
Anyway, here's a helpful diagram. When I was hit on the temple this was one of the harder things I had to reteach myself. Don't be shamed into not asking questions, and it's alright if it takes you a while to figure it out. Don't let someone make you feel bad for learning new things, or relearning old ones.
Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to teach yourself. YouTube is a valid option.
