Hey, I'm Ollie, and welcome to my disability blog!

I'm ~30 years old, only speak English (unfortunately). I use he/him pronouns, exclusively.

I'd like to follow more disabled people.

My spine is partially fused. I have fibromyalgia, among other things. I have mobility limitations, chronic pain & migraines, and cognitive symptoms. I can't tolerate sunlight. I have orthostatic intolerance and chronic fatigue.

Hot queer spaces tip: never trust any spot that has fewer than 2 fat and hairy people present!! You have no idea what other problems the space has if they can’t even meet the bear minimum

if you have OCD that moralistic post it not about you. keep scrolling. i love you

privatejoker

yeah even the one that gave you that sinking terror and has you planning your penance behavior and going through your whole life trying to identify when you did whatever it said about prejudice or abuse or whatever. it's not about you they don't know you and they certainly don't care about you

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

roycohn

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

You better start getting comfortable with the idea of an extremely broad anti-fascist coalition that includes tons of people who you strongly disagree with, because buddy, you're in one

I don't usually outright ask people to reblog things, but this issue makes me furious beyond belief, so if you feel comfortable please spread this around - I've done the extremely easy, trivial task of providing a citation from before 2002, specifically 2000's Sexing the Body : Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality.

Assigned sex terminology was not invented by queer people at all, but cis doctors writing about intersex people. This is a fact. This is the historical record. Perisex trans people have taken a lot from intersex folk and so often treat them abysmally. The desire to create a fictional history where a perisex trans woman gets credit for having invented the terminology to describe the trauma of perisex trans women being assigned male - not even all trans people, women specifically, because the ones who do this believe that's the only real trans struggle that exists - is utterly repulsive and if we're still arguing this in ten years, if CAGAB actually goes mainstream in the perisex trans community, I will be downright livid every day.

Because they are just lying. They are lying. It was so easy to find this, and the only reason they didn't is because they didn't try.

There's so much proof that AGAB came from language to describe intersex individuals. The concept of assigned sex is traced back to the 50's. There is evidence of trans being referred to with similar language, but it wasn't under 20 years later

The 2002 claim is so easily debunkable it's not even funny. You can read it here (PDF). At the top, one of the first things to be written is "2002 (updated in 2011) from Timtum: A Trans Jew Zine", which originally was published in 1999 by the same author. You can scroll to read the scanned page (29-)31 here (link), CAFAB is not used in the original

I will also note the use of a trans guy using tranny in 1999

A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: "Are you ready to be un-settled?"

Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai'po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear--and even follow you home.

These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples' survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
