Zebra's Bazaar

A personal sideblog for posting about autism, disability, cool things that aren't Fallout (see my main blog @theartofblossoming) or Japanese (sideblog @anagumasaru). I am a colourful mixture of Autism and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome etc. AS(D), hEDS, POTS, CFS, FND, FM, GAD, OA...diagnosis scrabble, anyone?

THE LAST OF US — 01 x 03, “Long, Long Time”

Reminded me of that banana duct taped to a wall by a 'famous artist' who (ironically) I cannot remember the name of. It was purchased - for a lot of money - then eaten by the buyer. The banana was made for consumption but was it art? Was the buyer making that very point above by consuming it thus, making a conversation out of it and possibly elevating it to the status of art?

Creations contain sparks of their creator. They should be appreciated, not just gobbled up and discarded like junk food.

American trans pals, life is going to get hard. We know that. I could write a long post about strategies for coming years, but I feel like that will only create decision paralysis here on Day 1.

So, some little things to do today and tomorrow towards becoming a more resilient person:

Refill your meds / schedule your next bloodwork appt or other healthcare visits you need - prioritize your health. If you can only do 1 thing today, do this, because it's the end of the year and you might not get on the books for a while.

Cancel a subscription you don't need, or that free trial that is about to expire - small steps to saving money

Pick up a passport form at the post office. If you don't need it, get one for a friend who does

Get a notebook and/or folder for printouts. You will use it soon for collecting hard copies of future healthcare options outside your home state, while the information can still be found online

Get a box or bin. You will want to start collecting items around your home to sell/donate/trash in the interests of downsizing. But just get a box or two today.

Talk to a friend

Get some rest

I can't promise we'll be ok, but we can try to set ourselves up so we bend instead of breaking in this storm.

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

[zebrasbazaar]

I was wondering, 'why not just use a ruler?' until I saw the perspective application!

"This is Jeff"

Coming out letter to parent from a young non-binary teen (image below the cut):

"This is Jeff (hullo). He's been with me for about four years now, the poor sod. You see, with all this talk about 'gender this, gender that', every time I stopped to ponder it, it did my nut in. So, like many other headache-causing thoughts, I kinda left it be, right next to the dusty corner of my brain home to most philosophical puzzlings. PTO.

But at one point I decided to give Jeff a go. Before I even knew of other Jeffs around the world. And what can I say? Sometimes its a Jeff day, sometimes not. He's a nice chap 'n' all, but sometimes it simply is not a Jeff day or week. Anyway, Lord knows what this makes me but I thought this fella deserved some kudos. Jeff says hi.

~ Don't mind being a girl tho! ~ Still your daughter! I know money is tight and all this is undoubtedly a surprise (though it could be just as easily argued the opposite - I've always been... I dunno. A bit of a gender hazy kid?)

- Replacement - a 'Jeff II' perhaps, so to speak?

And you may marvel at my ingenuity. But though Jeff has been with me for a while (not previously named, however), he has seen many iterations. And though he has been ever so helpful, he never really did sign up for this and is looking fondly at the future: retiring back into a pair of socks.

Jeff says bye."

Shared with direct permission, hoping to be of some help and support to other young 'gender hazy' kids.

Take a break, this cute tardigrade needs time to cross your dash:

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I've never seen them walking before I love him

[marblesarelost]

I never knew they had eight legs. I thought they had six.

I also had never seen them walking before; I thought they kind of, I don't know, floated?

So TIL.

Thanks, OP.

A tiny dose of cute. Life is just amazing in its variety, isn't it?
