alex - he/she - 22 - blog for my personal junk

[tworobots]

- you can call me nero, alexander (alex for short) or donnie. yes i did steal that last name from the ninja turtles. no you are not allowed to make fun of me for it. i will cry.

- proship/anti discourse is dumb and reductive. being said, i dont care what your weird interests are, as long as you keep it fictional #loveislove.

- no longer discussing dead dove/kink on main because SOME people are too sensitive for it, apparently. you can ask for my nsfw sideblog in dms if you want.

- uhhhhh i tend to hyperfixate on childrens media but Occasionally something else catches my eye. im weird. im a weirdo (jughead voice).

- mutuals can ask for my discord :)

- radqueers/proparas dni. also no minors, sorry.

- dream journal: @robotdreamer

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

This flavor of reblog to this post always makes me laugh so hard thank you

reading a paper on quality of life among 45-to-70-year-olds with Down syndrome:

“Individuals expressed a desire to be allowed to go to bed when they wanted to.”

Imagine.

[fullyarticulatedgoldskeleton]

I lived in a room and board that failed the burrito test. (”If you’re not allowed to get up in the middle of the night to microwave a burrito, you live in an institution.”) No one stopped me from going to bed, but they did tell me I had to have my lights out by 10, and that I had to be out of the house by 10 the next morning. When I complained to my outpatient program that I needed more help than I was getting, they threatened me with board and care, where my cell phone would be taken away and I would lose contact with the outside world. My case manager sounded so damn smug, like he had caught me out, when he said, “if you’re really as helpless as you say, then you need to be in a board and care.” Like my only options were struggling to do things I couldn’t do, or surrendering my life to an institution.

When I tried to talk about these things with other people, they always rationalized it away. (I told my dad once that my caseworker was reading my e-mails as I wrote them, demonstrating extreme disrespect for my privacy, and he said, “Well, she’s probably making sure you don’t use the internet to goof off.” I was 22 years old.)

 People tend to mock the idea that telling an adult when to go to bed, when to eat, etc., is a human rights violation, even though they would find it outrageous and absurd if anyone came into their lives to do the same thing to them.

And this is what people seem to think when they tell disabled activists we’re just not disabled enough to understand that some people really do need to be locked up and deprived of all autonomy.

Here’s the paper:

[mstopportunity]

They don’t want *any* activists for mentally/developmentally disabled people. If you’re able to advocate for your rights, you’re not “disabled enough” - and if you were disabled enough you wouldn’t be able to advocate for your rights.

[cordycepsfem]

There’s also this: The Gentrification of Disability

This is why there’s less activism for developmental disabilities… and physical ones too.

“People tend to mock the idea that telling an adult when to go to bed, when to eat, etc., is a human rights violation”

Ngl, while I didn’t mock it, it took me a good 5-7 seconds to realize OP was serious and wasn’t just making a dumb Tumblr shitpost because WOW

happy pride month

[star-angel-selkie]

this one kinda hurts when i see it every pride month. im glad to see an art piece of mine still circulating, and with nearly 100,000 notes too! it just hurts that im separated from it. everyone in the notes thinks im gone. im still here, but my potential community and connection is lost because im forgotten in place of the art. yeah, my deactivated profile does add to the profoundness of what i was saying, but i am still removed.

[isuggestrespecttranspeople]

HEY THEYRE STILL HERE!

Go support them in their endeavors!!! (I forgot to check pronouns b4 reblogging and realized halfway through typing so that’s mb if I’m misgendering you)

Monogamous people with dozens of exes and the most horrifying relationship history you've ever heard of in your entire life: "Well I just can't support polyamory, because those relationships never work out"

Me, two glasses of wine in: "yeah so here's an in depth conversation about my identity as a nonbinary person, and my struggles with transphobia in 2023"

Median Center-Right American Dude at the party, also two drinks in: "Damn that's crazy, I never thought of it like that. Man, I'm sorry you gotta deal with this shit."

Me: "Ahh it's alright. I deal."

Random Guy: "People should just chill tf out."

Me: "Damn right"

[cryptotheism]

Random Guy: "So if you're non binary, and, sorry if this is offensive but I don't know the right words here. Like, is it cross dressing for you if you wear a skirt?"

Me: "Its- hm. Huh. I have no idea."

[cryptotheism]

Guy: "It must have been nice to go to school with other trans people. Like, you must've felt safe."

Me: "No actually it was the opposite. It just made me even more upset and confused. I didn't know what being non-binary was. I saw people that transitioned from one gender to the other and knew I wasn't that. It took me a long time to figure this shit out."

Guy: "man that sounds rough. No wonder you guys are upset all this time this sounds painful."

Me: "Well, it sucks until it suddenly doesn't. It sucks and then it rules hard."

Guy: "so It's like working out."

Me: [both of us are now nodding wisely] "it's like working out."

Guy who has only ever played undertale seeing a skeleton for the first time: "holy shit"

[tworobots]

to my trans homies:

ive been doing a lot of self reflecting regarding my gender. im not entirely sure what the situation is there rn. i know its some nonbinary genderfluid type of thing but im having a hard time articulating everything im experincing and its just weird?

i was wondering how everyone got to understand their own gender identities. how did the self acceptance go and what helped you understand yourself?
