Itās been a long time since I was active here. This app has been gathering dust in the back of my phone closet, and I realise itās still my comfort place to go to, when life gets tough. Hoping I pull through this, thank you Tumblr for giving me a space to express myself and find like-minded people ā¤ļø
Youāre completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.
I think all wheelchair users should have one because you canāt spell wheelchair without Wheeeeeeeeeee

Just found out that I want to be a capybara
a potato-pronunciation-parallel?
Elliott, is that you?! šššš
Remember those vital care appointments I was talking about? My doctor just called and canceled my heart appointmentĀ for tomorrow and now I get to have my vital care appointment for my heart condition over Google Duo.
Theyāre relying on me to take my own blood pressure, my own oxygen levels, and my own heart rate and to convey the information over webcam because itās not safe for me to go to the clinic. For my heart condition.
Please, for the love of God, please follow self-isolation guidelines and stay indoors and help flatten the curve. Acute and chronic conditions donāt vanish because thereās a pandemic, but our access to adequate healthcare for those conditions is rapidly dwindling.Ā
What if you dont have the measurement devices needed?
I asked them about that, and they said, āwe donāt know, weāve never had to deal with this beforeā. Iām lucky I have my own equipment and I know how to use it. Others are not so lucky, and itās going to get people killed.
ok kids repeat after me
vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas,Ā which is highly toxic
ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic
rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic
hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive
be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok
why it so dangerous to be clean
As someone whoās job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didnāt know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and donāt mix chemicals.
Also donāt use bleach to clean up urine itāll create chloramine bc of the ammonia in it and you can give yourself chemical pnemonia that way
Every time I see āhelpfulā posts telling people to mix these things while cleaning I cringe with my entire body.
reblogging in this time of heightened interest in disinfectants. please donāt get fancy
For those of you with anxiety
hereās a website that translates the time into hexidecimal colours,
here is a website where you can create your own galaxies
here is a website where you can play flow
here you can interact with organisms in different environments to see how to music changes
here you can play silk which is an interactive generative art designing website.
Here is a website where you can travel along a 3D line into the infinite unkown
here is a website where you can listen to rain with or without music
I donāt have anxiety but some of my followers might
I have anxiety and I can say that this is awesome
Look at the pretty galaxy I just made. This is nice
these all seem really cool! Iāll try them when I get an opportunity!
And if I may add one, thereās a site called Plink (http://dinahmoelabs.com/_plink/) where you can make music with other people! Itās really nice!
Stressy but not quite depressy
I underestimate how stress can make me miss out all the good moments in life. I do regret how I canāt feel happy in the moment, but I lose control of how I feel in the moment. And I hope this passes soon.
Just imagine if Scott and Stiles hadnāt gone looking for the other half of Laura Haleās body, who would Peter Hale have bitten? What if it was sheriff Stilinski?
Can you imagine it āSheriff Wolfā ? āProtecting the people of Beacon Hills and giving away speeding tickets.ā
If you think like that, please donāt ever have children.
Listen, my parents installed a lock on my door so I could lock everyone out of my room if I wanted to at sometime around 8 years old. They had a key of course for safety but theyāve never had to use it and theyāve never used it when they didnāt have to.
I was allowed full access to any books, movies, and internet I wanted fully informed about our family beliefs and practices but I was given no supervision once I reached about 13 because my parents trusted me to stick to the rules or not as I felt and come to them if there was anything that I had questions about.
As long as I said where I was going, who I was with, and when I was going to be back and then phone if anything changed I was allowed to do pretty much as I pleased from 13 onward.
I moved back in with my parents after university and the first conversation we had was my dad telling me that if I felt like they were treating me like a child to please tell them because they had no intention of doing so.
I still live with them and Iām comfortable here as an adult. When I eventually move out again, which I feel no rush to do because I feel respected and given more than enough elbow room, I will probably talk to them often if not everyday. Because theyāve always respected my privacy and my autonomy both physically and emotionally. If you want an independent and fictional child trusting them and giving them their space will do you many more favours than not.
meanwhile, my parentsā¦
password protected my computer so i had to get permission every time i wanted to use it
put a passcode lock on our pantry so we couldnāt eat without permission
regularly checked our internet browsing history
shut off the internet at regular intervals, including when i needed it for university homework
did monthly checks of our bank statements and would confiscate money if they didnāt approve of our activities
in response, i went behind their backs and opened a new bank account, got a secret job, bought my own groceries, and used the wifi from the school across the street. they didnāt succeed in disciplining me. all they did was force me to distance myself from them.
your children are not your property. they are human beings, and they deserve basic human rights.
I work at a daycare with infants.
One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, sheāll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.
There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, āWhy are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?ā
My coworker replied, āThatās where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.ā
To which the substitute replied, āBut sheās so fat. She doesnāt need it.ā
Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesnāt think sheās too fat to be allowed to eat.
This reminds me of a cousin of mine who ended up with her kids being taken away from her by social services for a number of reasons but mostly for nearly killing her baby daughter. How?
By starving her. She insisted that her baby was ātoo fatā and had an aim to remove any and all āchubbynessā so her baby would be thin. Sheād already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.
After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what sheād been feeding her daughter and she said āone bottle of skimmed milk a day. I donāt want her growing up fat.ā
Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.
When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then youāve got serious problems.
(Note. She still, to this day, maintains the view that she was right and the doctors were wrong. āThey just want fat kids so they can keep employed treating them for all those diseases that being fat causes.ā = her actual words.)
My mom had me dieting with her when I was eleven. She had me eating less than 600 calories a day because she was worried I was going to āget huge.ā She even grounded me once because she found out my friends were bringing me lunches! I ended up passing out, going to the ER, and getting two IVs at once BC I was so goddamn dehydrated. Soooooo surprised they didnāt call child servicesā¦ And looking back, this was the root of my anorexia. Iām nearly 22 and still fighting it. Please donāt starve your fucking children.
For fucks sake babies are SUPPOSED to be fat, what is wrong with people? Itās just stored energy, and growing children need stored energy - an 11 year old is just about to hit some major growing years. Damn.Ā
Fatphobia
Is
Real
and it kills
This is no joke. people will literally starve their own babies cause they donāt want them getting fat. A parent brought in their six month old baby who was having breathing issues and kept getting sick. the parent was asked if the baby was eating regularly and the parent straight up told the doctor that they only feed the baby once a day. ONCE A DAY. A FUCKING BABY. they even had the nerve to say because they didnāt want the baby to get fat. people like this are real. they would rather have a dead baby than a fat one.
My youngest son is a very big boy and has been since he was born. When he was 10 months old I took him for his well-baby check and vaccinations. The nurse noted his weight and said, quite casually, āHe is in the 99th percentile for weight so he is at risk for obesity. You may want to keep an eye on that.ā I said,Ā āHe is exclusively breastfed. He refuses to eat any solids yet.ā What did she expect me to do? What would it mean to ākeep an eye onā an exclusively breastfed babyās weight?Ā
She backed off saying,Ā āWell he looks fine!ā ā proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health ā But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their childās food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.
Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, butĀ āat least he is in proportion.ā And if he was notĀ āin proportion,ā I am sure I would have been advised once again toĀ āwatch his weight.āĀ
I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.
We need to completely eliminate weight talk from medicine, especially when it comes to children. Even the smallest exposure can have terrible consequences.
Wtfā¦
A friend from college had been going to the doctor because she was having trouble breathing. She was told to lose weight. Over the course of several years, she went back to the doctors time and time again, telling them that sheād been sticking to the diet but because of her breathing problems she had been unable to even walk for more than 20 minutes at a time. The doctor got her into an exercise programme and told her that she just needed to really try to lose weight because that was clearly the reason for her breathing problems. By the time they found the tumour on her lungs, it was inoperable. She only lived three months after diagnosis. She was 25. Sheād had the tumour for over five years. The doctor was so focused on the fact that my friend was āfatā, that they refused to look for any underlying cause. They killed her.
Weight-first treatment KILLS. Fatphobia KILLS.
I have 2 scary stories to share about fatphobic doctors & parents harming their childs/patientsā health:
1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting āawfully fatā when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like ā???ā).
You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her āgo & take whatever you feel like eatingā and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.
She didnāt got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didnāt had to pass through that.
And whatās the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didnāt have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughterās body!
2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.
Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: āsheās fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no timeā.My mom didnāt felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that āthe child was just fatā.
My sisterās skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:
SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.
She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that weāre speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didnāt went through a transplantā¦ but let this sink:
If it werenāt for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.
Itās a real shame that we all have so much stories to share about this issue. A REAL SHAME.
Future doctors, interns, and residents following me:
FUCKING TAKE NOTE OF THIS!
Donāt let bias against your fat patients kill them!
(#and this is just when we actually go to the doctor and tell them we have problems #how many of us just give up #or wonāt mention anything that seems like too much of a āfatā problem)
iād really like my thin followers to reblog this if you can. fat people are already here for each other, we need you guys to help us out too. this is something i never see anyone actually talking about in-depth, and itās disappointing. be there for your fat siblings, too.
A friend of mine (and I say āfriendā tentatively) is going into the medical industry and she is extremely judgemental towards fat people. She says all the usual stuff - theyāre lazy, eat too much, killing themselves - all the classics, and all of it stemming from her own eating disorders and body image issues (though sheās very thin) and I just know sheās going to become one of these doctors. Thatās how it happens - their own fears become biases that cannot be moved by logic because it goes against the ideology up to which they stack themselves, define themselves. I hope she learns.
Something amazing will happen to you in May 2019.
Yes, give me this energyāØ
No such thing as rebloggin this too many times

āKeeping the internet open is critical for us. It powers social movements, and provides a global platform for people of color, LGBTQ folks and the most marginalized communities to tell their own stories, run their own businesses and route around powerful gatekeepers.āāCandace Clement, Free Press Action Fund Campaign Director via @fight4futureā
Starting today, June 11, U.S. internet providers will be legally allowed to censor and block websites and apps, and force you to pay extra fees to to access your favorite places online. Your internet sanctuaries, the communities you are part of, the ones you have help build up, could be decimated.
Will it happen today? No. Next week? Probably not. The changes will not be swift. They will come piece by piece. A slow, tempered death to the free and open internet we love.
It doesnāt have to be this way. You can still make a difference, Tumblr. We need the House of Representatives to sign a discharge petition in support of the Congressional Review Act that would force a vote on the floor.
Contact your repsālet them know you support net neutrality.
Itās so easy. Just go to BattleForTheNet.com, fill out the form, and follow their directions from there.
They have an updated widget for you to throw on your websites to urge others to make a difference. You can put it on your Tumblr. Let your followers know what you stand for, encourage them to do the same. Itās so easy to do. Just copy and paste their small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
Go, go, go, go. We know you have that passion in you. Weāre fighting right alongside you.
I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadnāt sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you donāt get #deals like elsewhere online, Iād love it if yāall would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.
!!!!!!!
Sometimes Tumblr is a force for good. :ā)
@fairytaleslayer @jellyman-kelly @leigh-kelly @savage-space-nerd @ijustkeepitmovin y'all are queer and like books
