toot (they/them)

the unfortunate inner workings of my mind for all the internet to see

[theveracioustoot]

I've been feeling so deeply depressed and helpless about the state of the world lately. I used to be filled with a tentative hope, small but persistent. But we're past the point of no return, and nothing is changing. Nothing is being done. I'm not sure it ever will, and it is far too late. I'm sure we'll survive and adapt, but that won't change the damage inflicted, the countless lives lost (human and non-human), the ecosystems destroyed, and populations devastated. The world will never be the same, and it will be hellish to live through. I wish I could fall back on what I'm saying and try to believe that it's catastrophising, but it's simply our reality. Then begs the question, why bother going on? But even with no hope, I'm going to fight for our beautiful Earth and all her inhabitants.

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

[queerculus]

Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton

Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks

Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more

Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks

I'm so fucking frightened all of the time.

Frightened about my health getting worse, I'm so tired but I can't sleep, I'm gaining weight but I don't eat- theres nothing I can do about it.

Frightened of being houseless while he fights to take our safety away- theres nothing I can do about it.

Frightened the doctors will take me off T if I don't get better, frightened I won't be able to afford top surgery if we have to move around for housing - theres nothing I can do about it.

Frightened of what this stress is doing to Mum, will she have another seizure today? Will I have to perform CPR again? - theres nothing I can do about it.

Frightened of cutting him off, what will he do to me? How will he retaliate? - theres nothing I can do about it.

Frightened of losing myself. I know this deep dark pool, I'd nearly drowned in it. Am I going to drown again? - theres nothing I can do about it.

I'm stuck. So stuck. My future is held in the balance of one man, and he doesn't care about me. He never has.

It's never been this bad before. The weight of it all is slowly crushing me and it just gets heavier and heavier each day. I think, surely it can't get worse? I think, surely I can't take one more bit of bad news? I am wrong. I am in a nightmare. Is this what I deserve? I know I've done wrong and I try everyday to be better. I've grown. I've learnt. I keep of growing and learning. Is it not good enough? What can I offer to make it okay? What can I do to end this pain?

I finally reached a point of not wanting to end it all, but now my limits are being tested like never before. Is it because I adapted to the usual hell that you had to get creative? Is watching Mum writhe in pain every day for over 10 years not enough? Is watching her become a shell of herself not enough? Is seeing myself meet the same fate not enough? What do you want from me, I BEG of you what do you want? Am I only worth my pain? Is that all I'm good for? Seeing suffering and being in it? Make it stop. God, please make it stop. How many times have I begged? How many times have you answered? I don't even believe in you, you've done nothing for me, yet I find myself coming back and begging for your mercy. Pathetic. I'm so close to being done. Thats what you want isn't it? My soul. You might just get your wish, God, devil, whatever you are or aren't. You almost have me. Push a litter harder, why don't you? I'm almost there you cunts.

Idk what disabled man needs to hear this today but if you have a hard time taking care of yourself, cleaning your house, or maintaining your personal hygiene, that doesn't make you a "gross lazy man" or whatever shitty stereotype people want to try and force onto you. You are doing your best with what you have. It's not your fault you have a disability and I am so proud of you for making it through each day!

Some of us just need a little extra help with stuff and that's okay. It doesn't make you a bad person, and it doesn't make you any less of a man. You deserve to get whatever support you need without being judged or belittled for it.

So to all my disabled men out there, I love you <3

i just think being aro really enriches my perspective on life and makes me better, it makes me more aware of the value of my relationships with my family and friends, i’m so glad i found the aro community which constantly challenges my internalized amatonormivity and my relationships with the people in my life

i’m proud to be aro

Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.

[mooserattler]

I’m not sure. Hey lovely people who have taken me over half way to a cool million! If you’d like to reblog again, I’d love that, if not, I still love you, and hope you’re having a great day. I’m gonna go do some stand up tonight.

[bidoof]

god come on we’re so close. this is like the only meaningful thing that this website could ever achieve

[void-the-bear]

@hellsite-hall-of-fame this post is from 2015

[zeemczed]

And we’re still reblogging it. Because we can. Because this picture of a guy holding a Family-Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios meant something, even if we’re never going to be sure of what.

“For The Plot,” I whisper, deleting a rad detail that no longer works as tears fall from my eyes

[wrangletangle]

Don’t delete it!

Take the detail and put it in a cut scene file. Less anguish + can be used again if needed later. Recycling!

Brought to you by: I never used to be merciless enough as an editor because losing bits made me sad. Now that I know I can bring them back for a sequel or even post cut scenes separately, I am so much more vicious, and my writing is better for it.

yesterday, tumblr totally deleted the account of a prominent trans girl on this website because she was posting safe for work transition timeline photos. this is supposedly "the queerest place on the internet" but i haven't seen anybody but trans girls talking about this. why does nobody else give a fuck?

[fanonical]

BOOST THIS POST don’t let anybody ignore this!!!

👇more details in the replies👇

[theveracioustoot]

Came online to celebrate being 1 year on T only to find out someone else got banned for sharing her trans joy. I'm new to Tumblr and thought it was a safe space, but I should have known better. Please fix this @staff !

[eldritchbauble]

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

[merlinsbearditsthedoctor]

ENGLAND. WHERE IT IS IN A BAG AND YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF.

[prouwu-deactivated20190721]

so i reblogged this from a british person and i’ve been laughing at their tags for 600 years

[cloudyobsession]

England, you stole tea from China.  You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+.  Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.
