of COURSE i'm made in the image of G-d - i have infinite genders, dozens of names, and cannot be directly perceived
had such a nice time away from tumblr for shabbat i think im gonna delete the app and cut down on using it for a while. i'll probably still pop in here n there, just dropping this msg so no one worries when im not here constantly

I.D.: a cat tucked into bed. caption reads “when you’ve learned to quiet the voice in your head telling you that you haven’t finished all tasks that day.” image text reads “if i dids it, i dids it. if i didsn’t, i didsn’t. end I.D.
I.D.: tweet dated June 10 2022 by @jorosenfeld reads “When shabbos arrives a person must see it “as if” all of their work is complete.
Shabbos is the secret of “as if”. The ability to enter a space in the mind even though external reality has not reached there yet.” end I.D.

“Like, porn star level sex. Ever since I was a teenager. I worked as an exotic dancer for a long time. I used to have long, red hair. I’ve been on the cover of romance novels. And I’ve also been gifted with great hands. I once wrote a book called The Extension of The Female Orgasm; I lost it in an old computer. But needless to say, I can make things happen with the human body. I’m kinda lucky downstairs, and I’ve done the work. There’s pumps and stuff that can make your ding-ding thicker and longer. But mainly I’ve been gifted with the willingness to listen. When women give you guidance, and you’re willing to listen, there’s no limit to what you can do. I once provided thousands of orgasms over a five-year period, without ejaculating a single time. It’s called Mantak Chia’s Microcosmic Orbital Energy Raising. It’s a Daoist lovemaking technique where you don’t release your seed. You pull all your vital energies back into you, and spiral your electric body, to create a really powerful connection. Too powerful, honestly. It needs to be disclosed. Because most people don’t even realize you can take sex way deeper into an abyss of orgasmic pleasure. It’s intergalactic if you do it properly. But there’s a dark side. One time I went to somebody’s house that I hadn’t seen for two years. We were just having dinner. But then I go to the bathroom, and I open the vanity mirror, which I know I shouldn’t do, but I did, and there’s an altar to me. With all these pictures and different candles. I had to learn that I was hurting people emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. Because they’re probably never going to reach that level with someone else. Imagine having the perfect steak at your favorite restaurant, then eating nothing but dirty sock soup for the rest of your life. I never wanted to hurt people. I love people. I’m trying to be a better person. And part of being a better person is to put the other person’s feelings first. So now I tell people right from the start, the complete honest truth. You’re an amazing person. And enchantingly beautiful. But I’d rather just be friends, instead of having amazing sex that is probably going to make you hate me.”

informed consent for medication needs to include interactions with common recreational drugs, i think
most meds these days will only tell you 'limit alcohol' and wont even make a mention of weed (though if this is different in places that have legalised it i'd be interested to know). and they never tell you specifically why you should limit alcohol and thats something everyone should have the right to know
because i was terrified as a teen getting on the meds im on now, thinking i would never be able to drink and that i had to forgo taking my meds for the day if i did. then i learned that all my meds did was to increase the effects of alcohol and that the 'limit alcohol' warning in that case was more just a 'you will get drunk faster than you are used to'
but in other cases, such as with some antibiotics, the 'limit alcohol' means 'if you drink more than a little, this medication will stop working'
and some meds are actively dangerous when taken with alcohol/other drugs, putting you at risk of getting very sick or just dead
but every single time all you get is that little label saying 'limit alcohol'
anyway, i will once again shamelessly promote my favourite harm reduction website in the whole world, the drugs.com interactions checker. standard boilerplate applies that 'this isnt a substitute for medical advice from a professional' but its sure as fuck better than nothing
cardiologist was helpful. finally doing something about my blood pressure baruch hashem 😭🧿

etiquette / tips for interacting with someone who is using aac ( from some one who uses aac ) .
not an exhaustive list . feel free to add on . /gen
- do not try to read what they are saying before they say it . ( personally , some one watching my words as I type them or find buttons on my aac is stressful . I feel like I am being rushed . )
- similarly , do not guess what they are saying before they are done saying it . ( so , do not " finish my sentences for me " . you are interrupting me speaking , when you do this . )
- do not play music or loud noise when some one is using an aac app / device that needs to be heard . ( it feels the same as speaking over , interrupting , or ignoring . )
- do not take an aac from some one . ( aac is our voice . taking our aac is like holding your hand over our mouths . )
- if some one uses mouth words with you , do not expect constant oral speech from them in the future . ( not all people who use aac are nonspeaking / nonverbal . some people have access to oral speech occasionally . this does not make their use of aac any less needed or valid . )
- similarly , please do not have a dramatic reaction , if hearing some one speak for the 1st time . ( more specifically with situational mutism , to some people , the fear of how other people will react to you speaking in front of them for the first time can make it more difficult to speak . giving an unwanted big reaction will only enforce that fear , making oral speech even harder in the future . )
- do not treat use of aac like it is an inconvenience to you . ( do not complain about having to wait a bit for a response . do not say that you prefer when some one can use oral speech . )
- do not ignore aac users or leave us out of conversations .
- do not make fun of aac's voice , how aac pronounces words , how fast / slow the aac reads , or any typos that were made . ( it is the same as bullying some one for their voice or for mis pronouncing a word , when using oral speech . use of aac does not mean lack of voice . or lack of mis pronunciation / mistakes . )
Like some of the best scientific discoveries, this temperature regulation was discovered accidentally, as one of the researchers was testing out a thermal camera during the pandemic – and noticed that mushrooms growing in nearby woods came up as cooler than the surrounding vegetation.
The researcher then recruited a team of molecular biologists from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and a colleague from the University of Puerto Rico to take a closer look at what was happening.
“In contrast to animals and plants, the temperature and thermoregulation of fungi are relatively unknown,” write the researchers in their published paper. “Our data suggest that not only mushrooms, but yeast and mold communities can maintain colder temperatures than their surroundings.”

actually people do not have a moral obligation to 'recover'. they have a moral obligation to do their best not to inflict harm on others. these are two distinct but sometimes overlapping concepts.
okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
