fwiw also a lot of fearmongering statistics about medical transition are technically true but are misleading bc they also apply to cis ppl and aren't considered noteworthy when applied to them
like someone going on T might be told they will have a higher chance of having high cholesterol and liver problems. this is true, but it's for the same reason they'll have a higher chance of eventually going bald. ppl with T-based endocrine systems have higher rates of those things, including the vast majority of cis men. & cis men who have naturally low T levels are not subjected to the same scare tactics before being prescribed T despite it being the exact same medication that is intended to have the same results
similarly trans women are warned that E increases their risk of some cancers significantly. again this is true, because breast cancers are some of the most common cancers, and having breasts increases your chance of breast cancer?? but nobody would ever prescribe blockers to a cis girl preventing her from developing breasts because she could one day get cancer in them. everybody of every gender should be taught how to do self breast exams and ppl need to go to their routine mammograms etc but that has nothing to do with transness
(interesting how ppl don't talk about how top surgery for trans men decreases the risk of breast cancer, or how bottom surgery for trans women decreases the risk of testicular cancer, lmao)
that post about the medium of theatre best portraying loneliness except its with video games and fate
it’s bc it raises this question like. as the player are you (a) subject to the same forces of fate as the player character; or (b) the one enacting that fate upon them?
Good morning to Banana the Lobster, and only Banana.
For a second I was really concerned that the lobster was transphobic before realizing the link is from the daily mail

*Though, this really only applies to more smaller tasks (such as doing the dishes). Giving very specific instructions for more complicated tasks can confuse and bewilder us more.
** And yes, ADHDers can take things literally too. Its not much of an issue for us as autistic folks though.
I was extremely lucky as a child with ADHD to have a mother who loved me more than she was inconvenienced by me, and so worked very hard with me to overcome this kind of thing.
When I was young, she would make lists for me that basically outlined “How To Do The Thing”
She would tell me to get ready in the morning, and I had a little list in my room that said, (I am going by memory here)
- Put on the Clothes on Your Chair (we picked outfits the night before)
- Put your pajamas under your pillow
- Brush your teeth
- Brush your hair
- Put on your shoes
- Ask mom for any permission slips (yes, I did this every morning. It was just easier, and often reminded me I had one in my backpack that was due two days from now or some shit)
- Put your lunch in your backpack
You get the idea. It made it so Mom didn’t have to nag me every five seconds and get impatient with me, and it made it so I ALWAYS had a list to go back to about what “getting ready” meant. When I’ve had a lot of trouble with my ADHD, from time to time, as sometimes it seems to come in waves, I’ve come back to this, and made MYSELF lists for “How To DO The Thing”
So like a list for “You Need to Do Your Laundry” might look like
- Gather the clothes in your hamper
- Gather the clothes on your floor
- Gather any clothes in the bathroom
- Check for socks by the bedside
- Check for sweaters in the living room (yes, I AM a disaster. I KNOW)
- What do you have coming up this week that you need a special outfit for? Throw in anything for that.
- put laundry in SET PHONE TIMER FOR 55 MINUTES.
I have a bunch of little lists like these (sometimes even still for getting ready) and they are one of my TOP ADHD hacks. I find “feeling like a together adult” to be its own reward in my old age, but in the past I’ve incentivized myself by saying “If I do this for 2 weeks in a row, then obviously it’s a long term thing and so I deserve to buy some pretty stationary to write this on” or stuff like that!
Those of you who follow me all the time know that my basic credo is “ADHD is a totally workable thing, you just have to figure out how to use it.” and this is one of the tools in my toolbox for it.
This is what the fae do inside mushroom circles when the moon is at its peak.
There is something so nice about Irish dancing
I DO IRISH DANCE BUT THAT'S JUST CRAZY GOOD LIKE IT'S SO PRECISE AND IN SYNC DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS????
