✨Ramblings And Writings✨

[silverghostbat-somealtnerd]

Okee

so

I made a whole “introducing myself” post back in April and I’ve been meaning to redo it for a while now but I’ve been a lazy bastard thus far and ima finally get around to doing this so here we go, teeth on the board >:3

Hii, I’m Silver, ur local (or not so local) genderfluid punk.

I use they/Xe pronouns, and u can call me Your Eminence, or as Sovereign

My favorite colors are silver (damn….i wonder why) and purple but green is an honorable mention (yes i spell things the American way, except when I don’t fight me abt it)

I mostly reblog discourse that I *should* stay out of for the sake of my own sanity but don’t

I’m a bit of a history and linguistics nerd and love yapping abt that till someone tells me to shut the fuck up, and I also write pretentious poetry abt ✨society✨

Politically, im a socialist, im based in North America rn so i dont usually use the term socialism when advocating my stances bc that word tends to send my fellow Americans flying (yes im a privalaged, white, American, from the north, sorry for everything my culture and country has done to this world, hopefully within my lifetime ill be no more privalaged than anyone else)

My music taste has changed a ton lately, so rn my favorite bands are:

Tragedy

From Ashes Rise

Kittie

Discharge

Death Side

Ausrotten

Concrete Sox

And many others

Shoutout to my only mutual, @hes-the-smoke-iamthefire for liking my old introduction post and reminding me to make this, that was so helpful :3

I also don’t feel like redoing this again so in the future ima just edit stuff when it becomes no longer true, so if it’s edited, just know that’s what it’s abt

Thanks for reading, you just lost the game :þ

Movie about a depressed and rather morbid autistic man planning to commit suicide and picking up a number of odd jobs in an effort to raise enough money to meticulously plan and prepay for his funeral so his mother doesn’t have to worry about it after he is gone. He begins to connect with people and enjoy life for the first time while working part time as a greeter in the funeral home, helping an eccentric old lady organize her basement, walking 7 dogs and maintaining a feral cat colony for a guy with a broken foot, playing a number of bit parts in local ads and stocking the shelves at the convenience store at night. In the end, he has befriended many of his neighbors and he decides he does not want to die and goes back to school to become a funeral director instead.

[byjove]

He is popular at his funeral home gig because he keeps accidentally saying things that are very reassuring and death positive. Because he wants to die. He eventually donates his funeral fund to the old lady’s granddaughter after her sudden death so she does not have to sell her grandmother’s prized possessions to pay for her funeral.

[byjove]

The old lady gifts him one of her ceramic cats at the beginning of the film which he reluctantly accepts out of politeness. Near the end of the film, he adopts a friendly cat from the cat colony that looks remarkably like the ceramic cat and names it after her, signaling his commitment to surviving and caring for his cat the way the old woman lived for her ceramic collection.

I don't know how to address this properly because I feel like every time I write about it I get the same misunderstandings from every direction.

the thing happening right now (at the very least in the US and UK) is that trans youth are actively and systemically losing access to healthcare. this has been gradually escalating since the start of the pandemic, and more young people lose healthcare every single year.

when I talk about this I tend to get two responses

"why do trans adults want to expand these experimental treatments to children who can't consent"

"providers offering care to trans adults is a step in the right direction, even if they aren't offering it to trans youth. the perfect is the enemy of the good. we can't fight our allies."

do you see how both the overtly transphobic version and the nominally "pro-trans" version replicate the same misinformation?

this is not a question of "should we expand access to trans youth?" trans youth have had access to medical transition care for a long time. what is happening is the care they already had access to is being made inaccessible and then criminalized systematically.

am I making sense? places refusing to offer care to trans youth are not "a step in the right direction" because that implies that the trend is expanding access that "begins" with trans adults and innately will gradually encompass young people. that is not the case. this is not a hypothetical thing that we can all have different theoretical opinions on. what is happening is the systematic revoking of healthcare.

the further this progresses, the more healthcare is restricted for more demographics. that's how this works. healthcare is being restricted across the board as part of the broader eugenics project. abortion is being restricted. vaccines are becoming more expensive. insurance companies are denying more treatments to disabled people. anti-fatness is surging. ableism is surging. there are active campaigns to get people to mistrust the very idea of healthcare in favor of "wellness" grifts. no one wears N-95 masks. this is the trend. it's been the trend.

I don't know how to communicate that we are not at an early step in a progressive trajectory, we are mid-stage in a eugenic order. please understand what I'm saying.

walking a mile in the shoes of someone you dislike is actually kinda awesome because not only are you now a mile away from that idiot but you also have their shoes

[cuppydogshane]

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

[hyperlexichypatia]

People in the notes are saying "You can!" referring just to the hospital visitation part, and sure (depending). But people should have access to ALL of the benefits of marriage without needing to be married.

You should be able to add anyone you want on your health insurance plan.

You should be able to sponsor the visa of anyone you choose to move to your home country.

You should be able to name anyone you choose as the legal-from-birth legal coparent of any child you give birth to.

You should be able to apply for student aid on your own at any age.

And yes, yes, ideally healthcare and college should be free, international migration should be unrestricted, and the entire concept of legal parenthood should be rewritten from the ground up. But right now we're talking about marriage benefits.

Labels do not define us. We define the labels for ourselves.

I don't use Chat GPT. I stare blankly at a piece of paper for hours like God intended.

Hate how “genderless” is always depicted as masculine for some reason.

[nonbeans]

Thinking this nonbinary awareness week about how niche society still considers my Ze/zir pronouns.

I don't even demand my own friends and family use it. Even if I prefer it to They.

It took them years to learn "They".

A big feeling of being nonbinary is feeling like you aren't worth the work.

Your laughing but this is literally tumblr

[babylon-butterfly]

why is this blowing up. What did I do to deserve this

[apricotbuncakes]

The people you don't like, the most evil demographic of people, they also deserve rights. And you can't look the other way when their rights aren't respected because your rights are next.

Yes, this applies to pedophiles, and rapists, and murderers, and nazis, terrorists, and white supremacists. Because the moment we accept those groups don't deserve rights, anyone who disagrees with the government is suddenly one of those things.

Gay and trans people have been called "rapists and pedophiles" for decades as justification for our eradication. We've been accused of grooming children as a valid reason for our identities to be criminalized.

Antifa (anti-facists) and trans people have been designated as terrorists by the Trump administration. It's already happening.
