Absolutely living for the fact that in ancient Greece, it was said that when Apollo was drunk he created people with the “wrong” genitalia,, which, first of all, means that 1. trans people are not a new thing, we’ve always been here and we’ve always found ways to justify and explain our existence, and 2. the way that we chose to explain ourselves at one point was, “Yeah, the sun was wasted as hell when he made me, but it’s cool.” and that is fucking awesome

christians: god makes no mistakes

ancient greeks: actually sometimes god os just really fucking wasted

not to go all Anti Capitalist here but like. making people feel like they’ve ‘failed’ their dead loved ones if they don’t put their chemically preserved corpses in a multi-thousand dollar hermetically sealed vault is absolutely fucking ghoulish the whole industry is built around taking advantage of grieving families. like it’s such a morbid topic but for real normalize decay… normalize the idea that a corpse, while an incredibly important thing, is temporary and isn’t meant to exist forever… normalize the transience of the body… also fuck every person who’s ever tried to wring money out of a grieving person by convincing them to by a fucking. waterproof burial vault. man

When we’re dead we’re supposed to become nourishment for fungi, bacteria and tens of thousands of insects and whether something catches and eats them or they live their own full lives and die, that’s how everything that built our bodies gets to go back to being built into new bodies for new things. The amount of nutrients sequestered away right now as embalmed bodies is probably tremendous and not good.

adhd is so funny it's like being possessed but with myself

the demon that controls my body says we have to watch bob burgers for five hours today and that demon is me

The problem with "if you can't find the fanfic you want to read, write it" is that I have a very active imagination and am an avid day dreamer and just thinking about that potential fic is way easier than writing it ever will be.

Blind people must save a lot on electricity.

They do actually!

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.” 

She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”

And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”

She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea!  The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn.  I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did.  So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”

Wow

Seasonal depression is no joke. The sun is setting at 4pm, it’s cold and it’s dark. It’s easy to feel hopeless. So reach out. Talk with friends, Have a nice hot glass of tea (or coco, or coffee, whatever makes you happy!) Invest in a SAD light therapy device, Eat plenty of food with Vitamin D, and remember better days are coming

when my brother was in kindergarten my mom HATED him shortening his name to Chris instead of Christopher and told him he wasn’t allowed to do it. but “Christopher” is a really hard name for a kindergartner to spell.

so when parent-teacher conferences rolled around the teacher was like “Yeah, he’s doing alright but you might want to talk to him about practicing spelling his name. Maybe shorten it to “Chris””

And then she pulled out a pile of his work and my dad started laughing so hard that he had to leave the room because my brother had signed his name as CHRIST on every single one in giant kindergartner handwriting
