bunnehears:
that Georgia is planning a whole slew of “catch immigrant” road blocks for tomorrow (where ID’s will be checked etc). Pass the word on and especially let people in Georgia know!!! People are also being encouraged to let other people know where the road blocks are if they run across them!!!

this ain't livin': Glee: Blame It On the Alcohol →
Like they say, the issue is not with the depiction of something that actually happens in the real world. The issue is with what surrounds the depiction. Glee has this tendency to present hate speech and stereotypes without any commentary, usually in a positive light, and then it acts like it is doing something superprogressive by doing so. Ryan Murphy seems to have missed the memo that it is...

Driving her kids to school, a South Carolina woman, Amy Lynn Stewart, encountered a group of teens walking in the middle of the road. She honked but they would not get out of the way, so she plowed into them, hitting four. They were 12, 13, 13, and 14-years-old. “I wanted to knock some sense into them,” she would tell the police. Four victims were treated at the...

Hi TOSD community!
We need your help raising $2,000 for a lift and a sling!! This is the lift that Stacey will use to lift her in and out of bed, to go to the bathroom and take a shower. It makes a HUGE difference and means that more people can do PA (personal attendant) work and more folks can sign up for careshift slots regardless of their physical...

Ask me things!
I am bored. If you want, ask me things! Sexuality questions are the only kind of questions that won’t get you very far, just because I…am not familiar with it.

And I still feel really small and incapable compared to, well, just about all the people I read.
I was gonna make this a whole big post but then I realized it’d just be a restatement of my other one. What can I say? I’m tired.

Sometimes, Dorian and Leila talk about doughnuts.
blerggg:
Dorian: Everything is worth it for doughnuts. Leila: The one universal truth. Dorian: I should get it engraved on my tombstone, and then everyone will assume I died in some tragic doughnut-related incident. It will be glorious. Leila: That would be the definition of “glorious”, I’m pretty sure. Dorian: A BLAZE OF DOUGHY GLORY.
And also, cookies. And cake. And candy bars. And soda....

Protip from my kitchen to yours:

A pan that has been sitting in a 450 degree F oven for a while will be EXTREMELY HOT. They have invented these things called ‘oven mitts’ for situations like this.
Use them.
(Unrelated: It is important to thoroughly cool a burn under cold running water for several minutes to stop tissue damage. Packs of frozen peas or corn also work very well as cold compresses.)

Reason #4758 why I don't write fiction
I am lazy. Lazy. So why is it that when I’m trying to make the story less complicated, someone who’d complicate things up to eleven insists on being in the story? And makes me think: “You know what? She has a point.”

And I’m still “gone” from Tumblr, generally.
But, next week I’m basically going to have to choose between buying food and buying hormones, and while I am intending to choose food, it’d be really nice if I didn’t have to make this choice at all. So: If y’all wanna help, I’d dearly appreciate that. (If not, it’s cool.) Thanks.

I recommend checking the notes there for other folks’ input on the subject.
Oh god, are we still talking about this?

Dear fictional people I did not make up:
I know you neurotypicals are adjusting and all, and I know some of you are supposed to do/think/say various ableist things. But did you all have to take such unabashed levels in jerkass? I’ve had to fire three of you already. (Although I know it wasn’t your fault; the other two wrecked everything).

Do y’all remember when I posted about this wheelchair a couple of days ago? Let me be clear: I don’t, strictly speaking, need a wheelchair. I can walk, although it wears me out. But a wheelchair would, I think, substantially improve my quality of life/ability to get around/etc, and a $200 one seems a reasonable goal to be working toward.
To that end, if anyone can spare any money...

this ain't livin': Beyond the Binary: Transition →
The medical community doesn’t really recognise nonbinary gender in general, and there’s resistance to it in some sectors of the transgender community. Among people who aren’t binarist, there’s a lack of understanding about what it means to be nonbinary, and many people think ‘oh, they don’t need to transition.’ This isn’t the result of bigotry, simply ignorance, because the numbers of out...
