My Constellation Is Space

I'm not not a lesbian

Oh no! I’ve decorated a designated space in the corner of my room for the hat man.

Oopsies! I’ve welcomed the hat man into my home as my guest

My bad! I’ve struck up pleasant conversation with the hat man about our hopes and dreams

Aghast! I have made a genuine connection with the hat man as I have learned more about his past :o

Ohhh my goodness! The hat man is a single father with two kids. His wife died 7 years ago which is around the time he started having these hunting nightmares. He would wake suddenly standing in the room of a complete stranger. Frozen in fear and confusion he would try and scream out for help. WHERE AM I? MY CHILDREN! And not a sound would escape his rigid lips. It was a different room every night, a new person, another body laid out staring back at him.

Maybe next time think about the things you post online about the hat man

[leolaroot]

hey man thanks for inviting me over by the way. oh wow your house has a lot of chintz. yeah this place is just full of the stuff.

[leolaroot]

hey can I keep it real with you?

[stressedbutok]

Not relatable but I had to vent

My PMDD has started early because every time I see anything even slightly romantic my heart feels like it’s breaking. I want that for myself so badly that I genuinely think I could die of heartbreak if I see anyone in love that isn’t me lol. I wake up from dreams of love and the rest of my day is shrouded in ennui from knowing none of it was real. It’s only further encouragement to throw myself into the coma my PMDD so desperately wants me to be in. I hate how obsessed I am with romantic love. I hate how much I feel like I need it, no matter how accomplished and happy I feel with my self, no matter how comfortable I am in my own company, no matter how confident and sure I am of who I am, I can’t help but want to find a piece to complete my already complete puzzle. I know days from now I’ll turn around and remember who I am, I’ll be focused on my life and the love I already have in my life but for now I weep over a lover I have never known.

I measure the passage of time by the number of phases I go through in the new songs I’ve added to my library

Me (a bit hye) just about avoiding the creaky floorboard while carrying a big mug of water, a slightly less big mug of peppermint tea, a clementine, and a 44 kcal bag of sea salt popcorn:

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

People complain about musicians always using samples and songs sounding similar but there’s literally only so many sounds and combinations and even less that sound good and even less that will be big money makers. Experimental stuff never gets much hype and people gravitate towards catchy things they recognise so of course the big hits will all sound similar and the artists themselves are drawing inspiration from music we have all already heard. It’s not a problem, it’s the same but slightly different that’s not a bad thing. Would you demand Nike create a whole new shape of shoe each time or is it nice that they make the same shoe but just change the colours. The same but slightly different and maybe in your opinion, better.

Realistically if I’m expected to continue participating in society after 25 they are gonna have to put some very strong drugs in me

Caption: [So, I'm autistic and something really exciting happened today that I need to share with everyone that is very very pertinent to my special interest and my being very gay and trans. So Avanti West Coast trains ran a competition recently where they were like, "Hey do you know someone who'd like to get married on a train?".

And I responded to this competition, being like, "Oh yeah sure. Why would I like to get married on a train? Well, I'm autistic and I really fucking love trains. Trains are my special interest. I absolutely love trains. Also I spent the last like year and a half trying to get my gender recognition certificate done so that I could marry my wife in a big gay wedding. And we can get married as wives. Please can I get married on your train?".

And amazingly today I got an email from the train company. I'm getting an all-expenses paid wedding on a train. I love trains! I've been bouncing all day, I just ahhh!]

I looked further into it out of curiosity and to see how this happened and how he’s healing.

Turns out that he had just turned 18 the month that this happened (it was an atv accident) and because of that, the medical debt is all now in his name. Him and his family are asking for donations from those able to do so to help with his recovery costs. He fractured every bone in his hand, degloved it and had to have his ring finger amputated; apparently 6 different hospitals wanted to just amputate the hand but they searched until they found one willing to try surgery to fix it first so he’s said that more fingers may need to be amputated in the future based on how well it heals.

I’ve included the link to the post below, just be warned that if you go through the rest of his profile he does have further photos of his hand after the accident that are quite gory. (The donation post itself is photo free though!)

*Opens Google to check if sheep can get sunburn*

*30 minutes later realise that haven't looked up anything about sheep cuz I immediately forgot and spent the past half hour learning about moths cuz I wanted to know what their hair is made of*

[trickstertime]

By the way, sheep CAN get sunburn just after they've been shaved and a moth's hair is not hair like ours and is actually more similar to really long scales. Did you know some moths don't even have mouths? Wild

Ah. Yea. Fair

I think a lot of abled people get confused about ableism because they fail to recognize how diverse a category disability is. There are so many kinds of disabilities - intellectual, sensory, motor, chronic illness, neurodivergence, limb differences, to name a few - and people in these categories will have different needs.

Which is why you often end up with disability advocates saying seemingly "contradictory" things. One group may be advocating for more support while another wants increased independence. People with a terminal illness will fight for a cure and more research whereas some ND/sensory disabilities want to stop having their experience medicalized, and so on. The kinds of ableism that people experience will also vary for that reason.

And having one kind of disability doesn't make you an expert on all of them! Which is why it's important to have diverse disability rep within organizations and groups. I've encountered organizations in the past that claim to be accessible/disability friendly because they have one disabled person on their board, only to find them woefully unequipped to deal with my very different disabilities.

This disability pride month I really encourage abled "allies" to examine the ways they try to flatten disability into a monolith and to make an effort to listen to and uplift diverse disabled voices.
