i could've sworn i had filtered every pro self mutilation tag i could find..but no, no, things keep slipping through, and what i saw tonight made me physically sick
Dear young disabled people,
You didn't deserve this.
Ableism sucks and I wish there was free medical support for everyone (and shorter wait lists).
It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to grieve. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to mourn what you lost to your disability.
On the flip side, it's okay to have fun with it. It's okay to decorate your mobility aids, wear fun disability awareness pins. It's okay to be proud of your disability.
But it's okay to hate it too.
Celebrating your disability, and the disabled community, while hating what your disability puts you through are things that should, and can coexist.
Sending love

Listening to Devil Town before parent's divorce: *bopping and vibing*πΆ
Listening to Devil Town after parent's divorce: *sobbing, bopping and vibing* π₯²ππ»πΆ
listening to "australia's deadliest animals" (the song) on loop again :D
i have no life it's been 7 years since this dang thing came out
I keep seeing systems posting their fronter bracelets and felt left out so
Here are some of ours!

We don't wear them all the time but they're helpful when we do
And yes, Kyle does in fact have '69' on his... though I suppose I can't say anything when our blog has 69 in it too. Everyone hid meaning in their bracelets, flags and relationships etc but I don't know them all..
mine doesn't have any special meaning; I just really like orange, and I'm witchy sooo.. evil eye.
Hey moots, we've had a lot of anon hate and other crap in our inbox recently that we just haven't addressed Can y'all send some positive stuff or actual questions? :)
"Urban decacy proves a pervasive motif in 1984" you mean, the make-up brand? damn, I didn't know Winston was a drag queen

The pipeline of growing up in a strict homophobic Christian household to raging queer is so common and 100% iconic
Love y'all <3
extra points if you either retained your Christianity, or became a witch.... or both
following a few 'vaccines cause autism' posts
I'm autistic, and vaccinated.
I was autistic before I was vaccinated. I was autistic before I got my MMR vaccination.
I am autistic.
I am vaccinated.
They're two very different things.
I get vaccinated for my health, and for other's health.
I'm autistic because I was born with it.
For the last time, autism is not caused by a vaccination; if you're autistic, you're born with it.
And the academic paper that was published that cites that vaccines cause autism has been proven time and time again to be false - and the person who published it (Andrew Wakefield) has been discredited and deregistered
eighty five minute holds to talk to disability services is insane
...their music choice is so bad too
Someday my body might stop hurting (it's been six years. I doubt it).
Surprise, I can be an ass when necessary. I'm not all sunshine and flowers like some people think I am. Put my system in danger or be intolerant of differences and you will see the other side.
Disabled joy: having energy, skipping on my crutches down the road in the sun!!! After getting absolutely soaked at a drinking fountain ehehehhe
..being 1,000 words over the word limit when your word limit is 2,000 words
maybe got a bit excited there.. that's just... a third of the amount of work you needed to do....
oh yeah but I'm done yet
Doing some casual reading, stumbled across "transabled" if you want to be disabled, or feel you "should have been disabled"
that's a mental illness
don't try to justify that it's 'like being transgender'
As an actual disabled person, who is also transgender, you do not want this. period.
Avoiding syscourse is nearly impossible in system spaces, and everyone expects you to have an opinion on it.
I don't want to take a side. The majority of my system do.
It's not black and white. Mental health, mental wellness, and saying yay or nay to the possibility of non trauma sourced 'plural' experience looses the natural nuance in human experience.
There are things that haven't been researched about DID... It's completely possible (and likely) that the same goes for those who claim to be non trauma based systems. We know barely anything about the human brain.
I do have issues with some of the bullying, misinformation and other harmful behaviours that I've observed from both sides of the syscourse argument. Itβs never okay to send death threats.
The fandom attitude, misinformation, immaturity and other rampant issues in both traumagenic and endogenic spaces need to be addressed before any kind of possible growth can happen.
Seperating the possibility of non trauma sourced plurality from trauma sourced is important, and both groups should have an ability to express themselves without being attacked.
I'm not neutral, nor pro endo, nor anti endo.. there's research that goes both ways (for/against) around endogenic experience... So I'm undecided. All I see are people who've had experiences who should be listened to.

I feel like such a horrible person for having War/Ukraine/Gaza/Palestine tags filtered... but I come to Tumblr to relax, and I can't deal with photography, footage and graphic descriptions.
It's a choice I make for my mental health, and one I feel guilt for, but one I know is for the better.
To anyone in a similar situation, it's okay to block political, and triggering things: it doesn't make you a bad person, and doesn't change your stance on the situation. Humans aren't made to have a constant onslaught of information.
I was taking to an old teacher of mine, told her we had DID medically recognised and she goes "yea...not surprised" π₯΄π«
