Chaos in a vessel

I just like Tumblr and messing around online. Sometimes we might make mistakes, so if I do something wrong or insensitive please tell me right away so I can correct the mistake! Currently I am 20 years old, though I might forget to update my age lol

days ago, i watched for the 1st time The Devils (1971), a great and distressing movie, but i also have grown increasingly fascinated by the (intentional or not) decision of Father Barre just looking like a guy who definitely knows what The Beatles and LSD are

In the early 2000s Clive Barker almost made a movie called Bloody Mary, and most people would assume it'd be about the mirror lady but it was actually going to adapt "Myths Over Miami", a viral mid-90s article about the elaborate folklore among homeless children in Miami, that there was a war in heaven only street children were aware of, and god I want to see what Barker's version of that would have been

Strongly recommend people read Ursula K. Vernon's graphic novel Digger, which, among other things, riffs on this.

Ok tumblrinas you've convinced me. I'm gonna read the Hail Mary novel. I didn't think that movie or book would interest me solely based on the poor way that big studios tried to market the movie to me in trailers, but you've all convinced me!! Gonna get the book tomorrow as a post finals treat for me :)

The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.

My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.

All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.

I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!

I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.

He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.

This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.

I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.

I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"

This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.

The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.

The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).

This video is for pet owners.

These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.

A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.

This channel is gold. There's tutorials for cleaning EVERYTHING on there. Just go subscribe!

"I have depression." - character who has been through extensive therapy.

"I feel dead inside all the time and nothing helps!" - character who does like, regular introspective thinking and is aware of the concept of mental health.

"Leave me the fuck alone I'll be fine once I get over my stupid shit." - repressed character.

"It's fine I'm just having an Empty Time. What? Yeah, empty times, you know, when everything is like bzzzzzz in your brain and you don't shower for two weeks. Why, what do you call it?" - ooooughhh now we're talkin

I get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I’ll soon be right.

Sometimes a group of queer, traumatized people come together and beat the shit out of each other and do DARVO tactics to recreate what their parents did to them. And that's beautiful.

I see a lot of posts on tumblr about how horrible ozempic is. I always feel weird disagreeing. But I think it's important to talk about why I disagree.

Ozempic is not, as many people, including my previous doctor, would say, an appetite suppresant. It is a GLP-1 agonist. The primary function of an agonist is to bind to its respective organic compound to promote secretion of hormones - in this case, insulin. Its presence in the body also decreases glucagon. GLP-1, like most hormones, is complex, and what it does to the body is complex. A side effect of increased GLP-1 activity is reduced appetite.

The reduced appetite is a *side effect* not the purpose, and for people like me who take ozempic to treat for diabetes, it's been life-changingly helpful.

I do not want a world in which ozempic is banned because it's a "weight loss drug" because it's not. I do not appreciate the posts about how serious the side effects are, because it's the safest diabetes medication on the market. I do not consider people posting things with the tag "anti-ozempic" to be my allies, because that reductive view on medicine is the same all or nothing mentality as doctors that refused to treat me for ten years because I was fat.

Has Novo Nordisk done some shitty things regarding advertising and scarcity? Yes they have. Is using ozempic for the sole purpose of weight loss bad? Absolutely. But I think it's really, really important that we stay clear and consistent about why.

Taking away life-saving medication from people with a debilitating lifelong condition in the name of thinness has and will kill people. Fatphobia is often also ableism. Ozempic helps people like me, people with diabetes, live their lives. And the fact that my voice has been drowned in a sea of healthy people complaining about "ozempic face" is the problem. The fact that Novo Nordisk started marketing their product as a weight loss medicine knowing they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand is the problem. Ozempic itself is not the problem.

Transmasc people don't get their flowers at all when it comes to their influence on alternative fashion but they should

I've seen a lot of alt fashions emerge (and re-emerge) from spaces with a heavy transmasculine presence, with many transmasculine people inspiring and spearheading unique evolutions on DIY fashion. I genuinely think the reinvigorating of the modern scene kid would not have been possible without tmasc influence. There's a swath of young tmasc punks encouraging separation from fast fashion and teaching DIY clothing alteration. There's goths, there's emos, there's clowns, and there's creatures (oh my)

So here's some credit and acknowledgment for that, for the transmasculine people who are pushing the boundaries on alternative fashion and keeping its spirit alive in our communities, inspiring a lot of other people to participate too

Transphobes (and judgmental trans people) will include being alternative in dismissive and condescending stereotypes about tmascs, but like. That association is coming from the sincere existence of transmasculine alternative fashion culture - and actually it's insanely creative and really cool and fun that we have that. It is far from a bad thing.

You all have unimaginable swag. Don't let them shame you for that. You fucking rock

Maddie needs to ware the 36 foot lady Gaga dress. She must. She is so little and small and fits right in there. Also on a more lore related note Maddie eould probably not have a cage under there full of back up dancers cause it would be convenient to have Paula under there to help control her limbs for the choreography. Since Paula is the only one who’s aloud to use her internal electronic controls and make her look NOT paralyzed. Which I imagine would be important for a live show.

It would honestly be more important for Paula to know the choreography than Maddie.

Bonus Paula just being a dick

I really wish people would stop acting like the only categories transmasc people can pass in are either “indistinguishable from an average cis woman” or “indistinguishable from an average cis man”. Some of us are seen as a secret third thing (scary ambiguous t-slur gender freak who is Failing At Gender by “not looking enough like a man OR a woman”) and treated accordingly

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.
