And Go To Hell

Read up on intersectionality in the pride community!

Okay so I know a lot about this kinda stuff because my friends use a lot of labels that people often over generalize as being “basically the same thing” when that’s not true.

Sure they have similarities, but similarities don’t mean they’re identical.

The biggest example is probably bi, Pan, poly, omni.

As I personally know at least one person each who identifies with one of these labels, I’m do my best to break it down from how it’s been explained to me.

Bi

Being attracted to two or more genders

Poly

Being attracted to multiple genders

Omni

Being attracted to all gender/lack of but maybe having preferences, maybe not, but acknowledges different genders

Pan

Being attracted to people regardless of gender

I am not an expert and some people may use these terms in different ways, I am merely restating what I have heard.

These labels are often widely down to,

“Oh, you’re basically bi”

Which is some stupid shit

They are similar

Not the same.

Ok so at this point I've had two people roll up to me in manual wheelchairs, well, one of them was somebody pushing somebody who was nonverbal at the time, but it still counts. They asked me why I had zip ties around my tires.

It's winter where I'm living and we have really bad snow. And the snow plow people are really bad at their jobs probably because there aren't snow plow people who clean sidewalks. As a solution I got to thinking about how I could increase the traction on my wheels. And the most redneck thing I could think of was taking a bunch of zip ties and tying them around my wheels. They last surprisingly long, and work surprisingly well. It's basically the same premise as chains for your tires during the winter.

I chose to space them out pretty evenly so there's about one for every spoke. You could probably do more or less depending on how many you want and how much traction you get but I wouldn't go more than three per spoke. I realize that it's a bit later in the winter, and I probably should have made a post about this sooner, but I came up with it about a week ago. So please share this, even if you're not disabled, because there are tons of people I know who are stuck in their houses because they can't get around in the snow. A pack of zip ties costs about $5, which compared to $200 knobby snow tires is a big save, and if you want to invest you could get colored zip ties.

ron’s gone wrong was AMAZING, holy crap. why isn’t anyone else talking about this movie? i’ve only found like, 3 fanarts?? and all the stuff in the tag is just news?

this movie is already underrated imo, and it’s RT score deserves to be WAY higher. it’s so funny, it’s emotional, the animation is spectacular. can’t believe this is only locksmith’s first movie!!! i think any movie with the voice of jack dylan grazer is gonna have me laughing like a hyena.

i think it coming out the same year as the mitchells vs. the machines hurt it tbh, and it never really had any huge expensive PR campaigns and/or drama.

but GOD this movie deserves all the buzz. go see it.

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

This is kinda weird but I’m trying to figure out how weird my ankles actually are. I have over-pronated ankles but high arches, which apparently is strange because flat feet cause over-probated ankles and high arches cause under-pronated.

Over-pronated ankles look like ) (

Under-pronated ankles look like ( )

And normal ankles are straight | |

Please reblog if you care to so I can get a larger sample! It would be much appreciated!

Lyons Magnus adds 30+ nutrition drinks to recall over botulism threat, including Ensure, Pediasure

Weeks after recalling 53 beverages for Cronobacter sakazakii, Lyons Magnus has added 30 more products to the list due to a potential botulis

August 11, 2022

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that 30+ brands of nutrition drinks including but not limited to Ensure, Pediasure, Glucerna, Oatly, and Premier Protein just got recalled for possible contamination with the bacteria that causes botulism, a paralytic toxin with a lethal dose of 1.3 nanograms. If you've purchased one of the affected lot numbers please return it to the store to be properly disposed of as a biohazard but do not accept any compensatory gift cards because that can be counted as a settlement if you need to file a lawsuit for any potential damages caused by this later on. If you have any questions regarding the recall there's a phone number listed in the article above that you can call, but if you believe you may have ingested toxins then please call your local poison control hotline. Stay safe
