Cc Reblogs - Tumblr Posts

fun fact the reason popcorn says don't use the popcorn button even tho there is one is bc when the popcorn button was originally added, the microwaves had a humidity sensor of sort so when it popped enough the steam was released it would begin a timer to allow the rest to finish. however, other lower end microwaves saw this and didn't want to be seen as lesser so they added one without a humidity sensor, just a timer.

so yeah.

(sorry if this is weird i saw the send me anything)

omg, that's so interesting

Phones are banned nation wide in schools in my country and it's been an absolute ASS. I have a phone exemption for medical reasons, I still get harassed by students and teachers when I use it.

Phone; tracking symptoms, photographing clots/blood amounts etc (yeah I know it's gross), tracking switches and talking with system members, along with music to control sensory input

Watch: similar things as phone + tracking POTS symptoms, heart rate, blood oxygen etc

We also use a TENS machine that has been threatened multiple times with confiscation, as it looks "like a music device"

Someone tried to cut the cables once, that wasn't great

Hey can we talk about the non-traditional ways digital devices can be disability aids? Like yes screen readers AACs digital health monitors all incredibly important, and I've heard far too many stories of how teachers and those in positions of authority over disabled people have confiscated, refused access to or damaged these devices, most famously that one person on reddit whose teacher cut the line for their insulin pump thinking it was earphone wires, but I also want to talk about the less traditional uses of digital devices like cellphones in aiding disability and how 'phone-free' areas like schools or exams or some crazy businesses and company offices, is terribly discriminatory.

Before fights break out in the comments people who use traditional digital devices and aids are allowed to still share their experiences, it is in fact encouraged, because while I do want to focus the discussion on how people use regular ol smartphones etc. to aid in managing their disabilities and why denying them access to said phones or shaming, harassing or assaulting them for using a phone in "inappropriate settings" to manage their disability, people who use things like AACs, smart watches and other monitors and digital insulin pumps etc. Are also affected by hard bans on the use of digital devices in certain settings because, as with the above example, insulin pumps can be mistaken for earphone cables and smart watches used for disabilities like pots can also be banned because they "make it easy to cheat on tests" etc.

So sound off in the notes. How do you use digital devices in a non-traditional way to help you manage your disability? And in what ways have being denied access to these devices impacted your health and well-being? The reason I want to have this discussion is because I want people reading the notes and reblogs to learn ways that they can use these devices to manage their own disabilities and conditions, work against internalized shame surrounding being dependent on devices and create conversation that will empower disabled and chronically ill people to advocate for the allowance of digital devices such as cellphones into spaces where they're explicitly banned because they are being used as disability aids. I mean allow devices because they're being used as aids not devices banned because they're used as aids.

...yep, but only if you're the alter who split to find humour in it /hj

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

i think tairn is jealous, why else would he be flying into the vale…?🤔✨

reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is

Ooooo I can finally post this!!

This is my piece for the @2023legendoflinkzine

Stop saying differently abled when you mean disabled.

Stop saying gited burnt out kid when you mean disabled.

Stop saying the c-slur when you mean disabled.

Stop saying 'super power' when you mean disabled.

Stop saying senile when you mean disabled.

Stop saying special needs when you mean needs for someone who is disabled.

Start saying disabled when you mean disabled.

Disability isn't, nor will it ever be, a dirty word. The only reason you think it's dirty is because you walked on it with muddy shoes.

Endos love to act like every anti-endo wishes that they as people didn't exist, when that's just factually untrue.

I hate endos, I hate every sub-label they have, I hate every part of their "movement" to demedicalize a group of already stigmatized mental disorders, I will debate and fight till my last breath that nontraumagenic systems are impossible, and moreover extremely disrespectful/harmful to trauma survivors.

But I don't want them to die. I'm not gonna tell them, or anyone, to kill themselves because of it. I'm not a fucking monster who believes that everyone, even those who spread copious amounts of misinformation, should be erased from existence.

What I want is for them to listen to us, to actually understand what we're saying when we try to educate them on how these disorders work. What I want is for them to listen to the mental health professionals who say time and time again that nontraumagenic systemhood is impossible. I want them to listen when we tell them how much they hurt our communities- yes both of our communities.

But they don't. All they hear is "hate" on them so they turn their ears off and stop listening, even if they could (very possibly) learn something extremely important.

I hate what endos stand for, not who they are.

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

"If a mirror shatters, which broken shard is the original mirror?"

There's a popular consensus among those without a dissociative disorder that those with systems have an "original", the one that experienced the trauma and recovery should be for the "original" to take back control and integrated with those who helped them survive the trauma. With us, we always see things through the broken mirror perspective. Our brain shattered before we were old enough to define a personality for ourselves and as a result each of us individually and as one entity - are the original.
