Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

I am once again explaining that in order for walkable cities and public transit to work for disabled people, there also need to be more public bathrooms available in and around those areas. Not just places to sit down or rest. Bathrooms. We need accessible, clean bathrooms. With sharps bins. With multiple wheelchair accessible stalls. With an area to set down supplies needed to maintain one’s body. Even if it’s not being used to get rid of bodily waste, bathrooms are one of the few spaces disabled people have to maintain some sort of privacy when they’re in the middle of a flare up or they need to take medication or what have you. Designing a public space? Include bathrooms.

I have been pregnant, which, for anyone who doesn't know, is basically handicapping your bladder with anywhere from a -12 to -200 ability to hold your pee, at a public event where they explicitly closed the public restrooms to "cut down on the homeless presence."

It was hell. I ended up peeing myself in the car, because they SHUT DOWN the bathrooms in the public transit center too! So not only can I not pee at the event, had to get a ride home bc public transit is crowded, no restrooms either, and the inevitable happened. Living with any kind of incontinence or anything that affects your general ability to go to bathroom, in the current public sphere of NO RESTROOMS EVER BC HOMELESS PPL EXIST? And IF there's restrooms there's no setting down your stuff or anything like that? The WORST.

Its a type of ableism I never really thought about until it happened to me and I'm never gonna shut up about it. Give us all the right to pee (or otherwise) in peace.

Funny how a mass arrest goes completely under the radar when it's mostly teens, right?

Adding context for those who might scroll past thinking: the hill bomb is not an actual bomb, its a skateboarding event which people, mostly teens in this case, skate from the top of a hilled street in sf.

so our tax dollars are going into arresting kids in public spaces now?

Sometimes being an artist is feeling like a baker seeing a chemist making the deadliest liquid in the world and wishing you could make the deadliest liquid as well but you're a baker, not a chemist, and then you feel like your bread is worthless

If it helps, as a writer with artist friends often feels like being a chemist surrounded by bakers. I'll spend ages coming up with a hypothesis and then lock myself away for weeks or months only to emerge with a small vial of glowing liquid. Yes it took a lot of work, and yes I'm proud that I've created it, but it pales when I look across at the bakers. In the same time, they've made so many delicious things that make living a delight. Chances are they've fed me and kept me from despair while I was locked in my lab. And I envy their wonderful craft.

I love my school library! It’s underground and has 2 levels. The bottom level as the actual library and the top that is nothing but personal study spaces! Like the one I’m at above!

my favorite sex position is when you love them and they love you back

fuck this hit hard

the sexual tension between a 20something year old and having emotional stability

my favorite part about being a 20something year old is thinking i’m emotionally stable and then having an absolute breakdown 2 seconds later

I'm not sure if this will come out right but:

Being loved is NOT a reward for being beneficial or useful in any way. You don't become less deserving of being loved if you aren't productive for a day or if you have a bad day and can't get out of bed.

I promise. Being loved has nothing to do with how you "help" the world or those around you.

jokes that will literally never not be funny to me:

Much as I adore hippos, this is undeniably just. (via @persian-slipper)
