Did that use this term as a racist dog whistle or because they don't know the history behind the term? A fediverse choose your own adventure story.

Just because you lost an opportunity you really wanted because you upheld your boundary doesn't mean you shouldn't have stuck to that boundary. It just means it wasn't the right time/place/person/whatever.

It's okay to be sad about it though.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

In light of recent events:

Outing trans folks will get you suspended. I do not give a fuck if you're trying to get one over on the biggest and richest asshole on the planet, he doesn't care and peoples' safety is not a pawn to be used like that.

Be the caregiver you needed in your youth.

I don't even give a fuck anymore. Just let me be that local hot bitch no one dare to approach.

Trauma is an invention of the therapy industry to sell more therapy.

J'ai commencé ma transition en 2015 but enfin j'ai réussi à déposer mon dossier de changement de prénom 🥳

I really like the umbrella meaning of trans*. Can ppl pls stop to use it in narrow ways and always bring up some genitals and doctors and ewww. Trans is an open umbrella term for lots of different trans identities not just for transgender folks.

one thing i dont see in disability discussions often is how sometimes its hard to get a diagnosis of what you have causing you pain. like you literally cant afford additional testing. even with insurance, invasive tests can get RIDICULOUSLY expensive. hell at my HRT clinic alone they have a sign that says they can bill you additionally if you so much as DISCUSS a health concern unrelated to your visit.

i mean its fuuucked but i just wish people would stop acting surprised when i tell them, as im laying for several hours a day on the couch or in bed in pain, that i dont know what i have. even as its progressively getting worse. plus, working a 40 hour/week job you may not even have TIME to schedule an appointment for diagnosis, or further testing. our current system is fucked beyond belief and no its not an exaggeration.

in accommodating for disability, this cannot be dependent on a diagnosis. disability accommodations are accommodations for all, regardless of medical status.

We need like face masks with dental dams in the center.

this is that show people watch, right??

Not sure what shirt to put on but I guess I should put something on before I have to get on a zoom call... I guess.
