About Shifting From Here

Welcome to Paradise, Hollyberry 💕

let's hear it for the nonbinary folks who:

don't present androgynously

use "binary" pronouns in any capacity

identify partially with a binary gender

have a "gendered" name

don't experience body dysmorphia

don't experience gender dysphoria

DO experience gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia but aren't sure what gender or body would suit them

just experience body/gender apathy instead

can't be open about their gender identity yet

you're all absolutely valid.

don't ever feel like you're "not nonbinary enough" because you absolutely are! 💖

Day 6059 of being here — forgot how to walk with human legs and walked home like a damn spider

Had this dream where I was in a cult and volunteered to be eaten alive. It was very peaceful and everyone was polite, sometimes telling me stuff like "I'm taking a bit of your thigh, it'll be great with some lettuce" and I'd be like "Oh ok cool"

oh boys with grabable hips. thats the post

Saw this on Reddit, if this helps anyone (credit to OP)

If you live in the USA, now is the time to call and email (and fax) your senators and tell them they need to block the ghoulish budget that just passed in the house. I am not being hyperbolic when I say it will kill a lot of people, many of them through horrifying medicaid cuts.

Do you ever worry about how you’ll care for your parents when they can no longer care for themselves? The answer would up until recently have been medicaid, but medicaid cuts will leave older people needing home care in the lurch. Do you know someone who is disabled, with or without official state-recognized disability status? That person likely relies on medicaid, with or without the need for home care. Out of a job, so unable to get healthcare through the workplace? Medicaid would have been an option, but the new budget includes work requirements that might be really difficult to prove - so if you can’t work, but can’t get approved for disability (true for many disabled people, especially newly disabled people, as everyone is likely to someday be) you’ll be cut off from health care. If you’re in between jobs and get in a car crash or get really ill, your options are going to be bankruptcy or death - even more clearly than they were before. In my state alone, it’s also probably going to cut over 200k jobs, and every state is likely to see employment losses.

But the thing I want to get across is this: This bill is baldly eugenicist. It’s there because republicans want to see a lot of poor and old and disabled people die. They are not hiding it. I really urge anyone able-bodied to sit in the discomfort you may currently feel about the disabled or chronically ill instead of looking away, because I can almost guarantee you that this budget, if passed, will someday impact you directly negatively, even if you are currently healthy and not reliant on medicaid. If you are lucky enough to age, you age into infirmity. You will sustain injuries. You will get sick. Things you don’t want to go wrong will, and medicaid - if it survives - will be the safety net that catches you. If it’s not there, that’s a really long way to fall, and you may not survive.

I really hate having to use this specific argument, because I’d hope people would care about disabled people, chronically ill people, old people, etc without having to be reminded of the reality that you will join these communities at some point in your life unless you die suddenly or in some tragic accident. I understand that contemplating the frailty of life is not fun, but disabled, ill, and aging people are not just uncomfortable reminders of the inevitability of decay; we are whole human beings with our own drives and desires, our own offerings to give, funny stories to tell, losses to grieve. I don’t relish the thought of abled people losing that privileged status; I’m just saying that it’s going to happen, and it’s worth caring about the people who don’t have it while you still have the energy to do something with that care, because it gets much harder once you’re no longer abled. If you can’t do it for us, do it for your someday self.

I think the moment when ppl got to know that your damn government restricts projecting is the moment y'all should suspect stuff
