*gets scared*

this website is so fucking easy all i have to do is post frogs

shout out to everyone who uses aro microlabels yall are so cool

please please please don't feel pressured to enter a relationship just because it is the first time someone ever told you they wanted a relationship with you and it's happening later for you than for your peers. please be sure that relationship is what you want. and please be sure if you are feeling a different kind of attraction than the other person that that fact is acknowledged by all parties.

i made that mistake (as an aro) and spent a lot of time in the first two or so months trying to explain alterous attraction to them. in the end they interpreted it as "the aro equivalent to romantic attraction", treated our relationship as a romantic one, and didn't cope well with boundaries i put up because of my romance repulsion. i was 18 at that time and had the feeling that maybe i would never be important to someone in that way and that if i rejected them the friendship would be possibly over and i really didn't want that.

but it is actually possible to be so so important to someone without being in a committed relationship. you don't have to enter any relationships you don't want. and you will absolutely find people who you are important to, and who will care for you the way you feel comfortable with, even if that one person can't cope with your boundaries.

so please don't compromise yourself because you feel like you are late and this is the first time this happens. you will find the relationships or non-relationships you want and shouldn't have to make yourself small for this

An Alaska Native group decided to make a video game. It’s like nothing you’ve ever played before.

One of the most groundbreaking, critically acclaimed, and delightful video games of 2014 began in a highly unlikely place — Anchorage, Alaska.

It’s called “Never Alone” (or “Kisima Ingitchuna”). And it wasn’t developed by Nintendo, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, or any of the other big game studios.

It was the brainchild of the Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) — a nonprofit community support organization for Alaska Natives and their families.

And while many Alaska Native communities are struggling to hold on to their identities in the 21st century, the council saw “Never Alone” as both a way of becoming more financially self-sufficient and a necessary new method of transferring cultural knowledge from one generation to the next.

it’s on sale for $4.49 on steam right now

It’s actually super fun, too. Please play it~♥

Oh man, I saw something about this a while ago, it looks really fun and cute!

I bought this years ago - probably because of this post - and it includes a lot of traditional art and folklore inspiration as well as genuine educational bits. Your can choose to stop and learn about the cultural context of what you are doing and seeing along the way and the core story is based on beliefs they felt were most important. A really great experience, I might need to go back and do it again.

The word cripple is so loaded for me and other physically disabled people. Cripplepunk as a movement is deeply political and rooted in reclaiming that discomfort.

I’ve been called cripple by my family who were upset that I look too pathetic and won’t amount to anything because of my disability.

I’ve been called cripple in the street by strangers who want to scare me.

I’ve been called crippled in class by people arguing that physically disabled people like me are burdens on society and shouldn’t be allowed to make it to adulthood.

I’ve been called crippled by evangelist Christians who assume the only hope for me that exists is a ticket to a Heaven where “there are no wheelchairs”.

Cripple is a punch in the gut that puts you immediately on the outside of valuable.

Cripplepunk is a whole new way of looking at ourselves as physically disabled people. It’s a massive fuck you to the specific forms of ableism we face. It’s letting us be angry at every step and every heavy door instead of being eternally and submissively grateful for every scrap of access. It’s letting ourselves live complex, crippled lives and act on our desires instead of spending every waking moment trying and failing to be able bodied.

Cripplepunk is by the physically disabled, for the physically disabled.

dude I feel so bad for the queer tiktok community I get that theyre all probably like 12 maybe 13 but????? they are drinking that terf koolaid up Im telling you /reference

for context I commented "hey you can make and use different flags for an identity, nobody cares if they are theyre probably like 12 or a terf" on a tiktok abt someone apologizing for making a lesbian flag and someone called me priveleged for it??? what am I priveleged for, being able to make flags??? bro you can just use any drawing program or if thats too hard just use flag.rachel.systems to make some yourself like????

you know what it IS good to use different flags, especially if youre being stealth, your mom probably knows the sunset lesbian flag but not the aurora lesbian or bi lesbian etc. flags you know. tryna defend that the only flag you can use is the most common one will not progress our movement in any way either, and it will let terfs queerphobes and other predators to our community easily know who to target and what to target them for.

in fact you know what

permission from a lesbian to make a new lesbian flag even though Im not one out of pure spite??? is that too far over a weird kid on tiktok???

as A Lesbian i am giving you permission mwahahahahaha /silly but also go for it

Extremely relatable. Credit to Joy of Autism on Facebook.

yeah!!!! like…. yeah there’s something to be said for creating a flag that has personal significance to you, and I do personally prefer using flags made by people who understand the experience more but it’s not a big deal at all to make a flag like at the end of the day they’re just stripes put together and I’m certainly not going to send DEATH THREATS over a FLAG so if you’re respecting cultural boundaries then literally what’s wrong with a gay man making a lesbian flag and vice versa. there are still 71 countries that think we shouldn’t exist and frickin FLAG DISCOURSE is the hill people want to die on? anyways shoutout to queer people who love making things to show solidarity with their queer siblings, there is no truer form of solidarity than sharing yourself with others!!

if you want to focus entirely on inter community issues and nothing else then it should be that you care about racism in the disability community, fatphobia in the disability community, disabled people being ableist to other disabled people in the disability community.

lack of consideration for i/dd and cognitively disabled people despite a lot a lot a LOT of people with congenital issues, neurological disabilities, and brain injuries having intellectual, developmental, cognitive, or learning disabilities

events and groups for disabled people being physically inaccessible to other disabled people- wheelchair users, severely disabled people, housebound people, immunocompromised people.

disabled people being repulsed by other disabled people with specific issues- visibly disabled, moderately or severely disabled, progressive degenerative or terminal illness, gi/uro issues. people in group homes, assisted living, homeless disabled people, disabled people with caregivers, disabled people who can't live alone go out alone work or drive, disabled people who can't do badls or iadls, i/dd people, disabled people with communication and speech issues

disabled people thinking that if they had x symptom or x disorder or x disease people would be so nice to them and believe them forever and never listening when people with those issues tell them they don't.

disabled people throwing other disabled people under the bus to look good to the ableds.

the emphasis on being successful and intelligent and independent and hard working in the greater disability community. being able to do things "despite" disability.

lack of fucking community wide care and love and acceptance and support for every kind of disabled person.

do you listen to disabled people of color and fat disabled people and i/dd people and visibly disabled people progressive degenerative terminal illness moderate or severe disability, people with neurological disabilities from complex developmental trauma. psychogenic seizures. fnd. people with chronic illnesses and injuries from psychiatric drugs, people with chronic illnesses and injuries from EDs, people with chronic illnesses injuries and disabilities that they directly or indirectly caused from risk taking or self harming behavior? because it doesn't seem like it.

You know what? 

You’re SO valid if you’ve met someone(s) that’s causing you to reconsider your identity as aromantic.

You’re SUPER valid if you identified as completely aromantic, but realized that you’re somewhere else on the spectrum.

You’re ABSOLUTELY also valid if you used or continue to use aromantic as an umbrella term.

Look out for new Zoo/Zeta blogs in the Tumblr Otherkin & Therian Communities

Heads up guys, please keep an eye out for self-identifying zoos/zetas. There seems to be a targeted attack going around therian, otherkin, fictionkin, and general alterhuman spaces on Tumblr by them in the last 24 hours, with the creation of new blogs that only seem intent on promoting pro-bestialist ideas and muddying the water between the zeta community and the therianthropy community. Here’s the list of blogs we’ve found so far:

Extra important to note that Jadeeyedwere is (or recently was) LycanTheory’s partner, a known bestialist who has abused his dogs, and that the “zeta” community itself is inherently pro-bestialist. Do NOT interact. Just block and report their posts about being “zootherians” as they violate Tumblr’s TOS.

Ways to report & What they will do include:

Report > Snsitive Content: This will remove their blog from the Tumblr search permanently if they are found to violate TOS– which they will, as zoo-based discussions are inherently considered sensitive on Tumblr, and are permanently hidden on the platform in tag functions for this reason.

Report > Something else > Gre, Mtilation, Bstiality: This will, best case scenario, get their blog entirely deleted. But it should be reserved for posts that are explicit about their animal abuse when possible.

Report > Spm: This will remove their blog from Tumblr search permanently is they are found to be misusing tags– which, if they tag their posts about abusing animals things like “#therian” and “#otherkin,” are examples of mistagged content.

(Vowels removed in reporting examples so that Tumblr doesn’t axe this post from the tags.)

Update of more to block and stay away from:

- zedderchee

- uglydingo

- mellowluka

- malinwhine

- canidoodle

Another blog to block is Sheppernoodle, who is LycanTheory (previously was at the account MountainShep17, if memory serves).

Pixie be AAC device user is not a young child . and . but all AAC device vocabularies exactly same as the for children . no words for relationships and more “adult “ conversations .

have not seen any AAC device vocabulary have words for any “private” body parts . can not tell caregivers about having a problem with some “ private “ body part . no pages for to talk about serious brain “trouble” either .

we people what use AAC devices are very most likely to be hurt by bad people because them people know we can not tell really what happened .

AAC device businesses need to do better. speech pathologists need to do better , and caregivers , and parents , and guardians . all need to do better .

think hear problem with app store regulation not AAC people , proloquo2go people would add but then app store force rate for adults only if even allow sell AAC at all

The app store already tried to force Tumblr to hide so many silly words as "sensitive content", I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to do the same with AAC, but it would be worse and extremely ableist on top of it...
