Jenny Holzer, Plague Series from the Living Series, 1980-1982, bronze
geez I feel like the most annoying aspect of being an Autistic person is that you can have a really hard time doing stuff even when you're happy & doing good, if you just get SO hyperfixated on something that it's exhausting to try to drag your mind to other things. It's like depression without the depression and it's good not being depressed!! But also yeeeeeeeeesh
broke: I hate doing group projects so much that I inexplicably feel angry and depressed when doing group projects. Or maybe I just don't vibe with anyone in my program?
woke: I always end up grouped with people who are interested in aging/senior issues (absolutely fine, lots of overlap), we agree to work on a topic that affects both seniors and disabled adults. Then I have to try to be polite and a good group member as everyone talks as if disabled people under the age of 65 don't exist, sharing their ideas and solutions that only relate to seniors :) :) Then I feel stupid for how low-grade upset I'm getting when it's just a project for school.
every person in my class writing a paper: LTSS is important. Source, the population of seniors is growing and by x year lots of people will be seniors and need LTSS!
me dying inside: couldn't it be argued that bad things are still bad even if they affect a minority of people

I love you (many of you!) and hope you're safe, internet people.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planning on changing their regulations for telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances. However, they have opened comments up for people to voice their opinions. You can submit a formal anonymous comment HERE. The comment period ends on March 31st, 2023.
This is an important issue for those who are prescribed controlled substances (e.g., testosterone or ADHD medication) through telehealth, which means it can and will impact trans people on testosterone and a ton of others if this goes through.
This is one of those very easy times to show up for neurodiverent people and trans people!!!
Many folks live in treatment desserts- they may have to go really, really far for care. And in some cases that could be every single month.
This is a silly rule that amounts to security theater for medicine. Please join me in standing up to it!
*trying to flirt with a guy* I dig your look. I'd love to see you tied to a tree and made to bear the wounds of St. Sebastian. Completely obliterated from every angle *remembers the social contract and gets nervous* Like, the jacket for example, where'd you get that
Love being so ENT uncoordinated that when I try to use a neti pot I end up gagging and choking and it's way worse than just having allergies or whatever the neti pot was for
Part 2 of my "transgender social contagion" series just dropped!
Anti-trans campaigners increasingly raise fears about "the rising number of 'young girls' transitioning." This essay delves into the actual statistics, and critiques the sexist & ableist presumptions that inform such framings.
no-paywall link, please share widely & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so others see it!
btw, most media outlets wouldn't have allowed me to publish this piece as is. Plus I make very little $ on Medium (especially since I'm always sharing "friend links"). So if you appreciate that I make essays like this freely available online, please consider supporting me on Patreon for as little as $1/month! https://www.patreon.com/juliaserano

Wait, there’s physical copies of Fallout Equestria? That’d have to be massive.

The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.
Later runs were single-book softcover monstrosities. I think I saw another five-volume hardback run recently, but I’m not deeply involved in the fandom anymore.
The second print run was two volumes, hardback, with jackets. Dunno about any subsequent runs.
I still think the 5-volume split was the best option. It’s a big damn story.
(For anyone who hasn’t read it: yes, that’s a functional replica of the main character’s go-to weapon. No, I didn’t customize it like that; I bought it from the person who did.)
anon PLEASE tell me your teacher is the author of this
Ok, I Kind of hate that I know this, but I’m pretty sure that anon’s teacher did NOT write the books the others are showing off. He wrote the darker, edgier and somehow even longer fanfic OF that fanfic called Project Horizons.
Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.

one of tumblr’s secret trump cards is its ability to deliver absolutely OBLITERATING gut punches like this post without any context or warning whatsoever
