people wanna talk about "don't self diagnose autism" meanwhile the autism test is damn near 3k dollars, a lot of people don't believe women can have autism, and (for black people) doctors don't believe them when they say they have literally anything. so.

Don't forget that an official diagnosis can seriously fuck you over from a legal standpoint.

MUTUAL AID REQUEST: Help Dean stay afloat!

Image descriptions will be after a cut at the end of the post.

Background: My friend Dean is a 34-year-old disabled Black man from Washington, DC. He was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2019. He has been struggling with chronic food insecurity and the malnutrition has led to further issues with his bones, blood pressure, and bladder. He currently has stable housing but spent much of 2020 housing insecure.

In April 2020 he was in a car accident that left him with broken ribs and severe back injury (the last picture in this post is from April 2020, of him in the stretcher right after the accident). He went on disability benefits after the accident. In October 2020 he came down with COVID-19 and spent 3 weeks in hospital, but fortunately made a full recovery.

The situation: Dean’s benefits expired in January and the process of reinstating them will take 3 to 6 months. That means Dean has zero income right now. He also doesn’t have health insurance coverage. Right now his goal is to raise $900 for his living expenses while his benefits are paused.

Donations will go to rent/utilities, medical bills and medication costs (including metformin (fourth pic) and insulin for his diabetes), and the fresh food Dean needs for his health to stabilize. He’s had to go days without eating at times which is very dangerous for him.

Where to donate:

P*yp*l: deanphanor1986@gmail.com

V*nmo: @ Dean-Phanor

C*sh*pp: $topsecret1986 - not preferred right now because there’s been some issues with the account but I wanted to list it because that should be resolved soon. V*nmo and P*yp*l are both good options.

Dean’s birthday is coming up on March 9th! Please spread this post even if you can’t donate yourself, last week I made a smaller post for Dean to cover an individual medication cost and we got an amazing response, please keep that energy up and help my friend survive! If you have any questions feel free to DM me.

You guys have been saying “within 10 years” for the last 20. Remember how we weren’t supposed to have snow by 2010 or chocolate by 2014? You’re full of bunkum.

that’s because we made changes in the past to prevent that from happening(: but now we have more problems to fix, because the environment has more than 1 problem (:

Just kinda wanna be braless and eat fruit in peace tbh

So did Eve and look where that got her

The RNA vaccines approved for COVID-19 in the US both need to be distributed at extremely low temperatures. Like 40F lower than any other mass-distributed medicine.

It turns out the Dippin Dots company runs the only nationwide supply chain that’s ever operated at those temperatures. So all these big serious health orgs are consulting the expertise of, and even exploring renting equipment from, The Ice Cream of the Future™️.

Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben

Avatar

I feel this is an important addition. He saves so many people on a regular basis that this just keeps happening. And he feels so much for his uncle that the answer is always the same.

…. This hits different when you realise he’s canonically Jewish

Can you please elaborate ? I’m curious as to what it means

You can read a pretty good summary of it here, but as (most likely) Ashkenazi Jews, PP probably follows the minhag (custom) that says “that by naming a newborn child after a deceased loved one, the soul lives on through the child.” (Quoted from the site linked above.) And given how his Uncle Ben died, it just makes it all the more sadder tbh.
