IMPORTANT!!! Mutual Aid!! Amazon Wishlist!

Plain text: Important! Mutual Aid! Amazon Wishlist!

Hey guys, I normally don't do this but my dad is unemployed atm and there are things I need that I can't afford due to this. I'm disabled and can't work, and I'm fighting for disability. Fortunately we have enough to pay the bills and food, but there are certain things I really need and I'm asking for your help.

I struggle with awful TMJ migraines and need certain items that'll help alleviate the pain because I can't take pain killers.

There are also other things on here that aren't tmj related, for my autism and for the condition of my home.

The BIGGEST thing I need right now is the pot at the top of the wishlist. I don't have a stove and all I want to do is be able to cook my favorite meal so I can enjoy it on my birthday.

Anything helps, pls share if you're unable to buy anything, I appreciate your kindness ❤️ (red heart emoji) /gen

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

Reasons not to have your dog offleash at a public park:

1) roads (this one is self-explanatory)

2) it makes the park inaccessible to like, entire swathes of the population. If you have experience with police dogs or guard dogs in your neighborhood, or you're a new immigrant from somewhere with a large population of feral dogs, it sucks ass going to the park and having someone's massive lab bound up to you!

3) If, for example, you are in a protected wetland area plastered with friendly signs asking you to please leash your dog to avoid causing an ecological impact, having your dog offleash might cause an ecological impact! "Oh no, my dog is well-behaved, they would never bother the wildlife" wrong! your dog is in the pond trying to eat the endangered Blandings' turtles!

4) Non-zero chance of a jokerified park guide (me) just clipping your dog to a leash and stealing them

5) “Oh but my dog is friendly!” If your unleashed “friendly” dog runs up to my leashed UNFRIENDLY dog, and my dog bites yours, guess who’s getting the blame despite doing everything right?

6) Allergies. “Oh but my dog is friendly!” oh well that’s great I guess I can just put the epipen away because, yknow, he didn’t mean to induce anaphylactic shock, it was all in good fun, nothing to worry about!

7) Small children, the elderly and disabled people. “Oh but my dog is so friendly!” When your friendly dog slams into me/jumps on me/knocks me over I am just as injured.

8) Many of the places where it seems attractive to let a dog off the leash are home to wildlife! My local swamp park has a whole-ass coyote pack living in it. That is their house, and they will view your precious little sausage roll as a delivery dinner. I have legit seen a coyote come out of the bushes and take a small, off-leash dog. Leash your dogs.

A couple people reblogging with my addition have gone on to say that a well-trained dog can be off-leash and all these things only apply to badly-trained dogs (who presumably deserve to suffer? and who apparently also deserve the opportunity to harm and distress people who didn't sign up for Bad Dog Encounters?). Leaving aside the fact that dogs are animals, will always be animals, and will thus always have the potential to act unpredictably, just like every other animal, including humans, who do you think is training the wildlife?

I have seen the incident I referenced above play out three times. All three times, the dog lost. In one of the instances, the dog was two feet from its owner. In one instance, the owner followed the coyote into the bushes, still lost the dog, and got bitten badly. The parks service killed half the swamp coyotes after that, which isn't fair. Again, the swamp is their home. They live there. If you bring them DoorDash, they shouldn't be punished for eating it.

Coyotes. Bears. Venomous snakes. Squirrels, either rabid or leading your dog into traffic. And feral cats who also shouldn't be outside and uncontained, but don't deserve to be ripped apart by dogs because people failed them. Your dog is not the only animal in the world.

Please. Do yourself, your dog, and my coyotes a favor. Leash your dog.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

ok ok the barbie gynecologist joke was very funny but as an ace person it also read as totally legit like seeing a gynecologist felt like something i would be too uncomfortable to ever do for a long time so it genuinely makes sense for everyone to come to support her and say they’re proud of her

Someone tell me if I’m being to sensitive but I keep seeing ppl on tiktok making edits of Barbie and posting slideshows with Barbie saying that she’s a lesbian and it lowkey makes me really sad and frustrated and want to cry bc isn’t Barbie aroace? She never shows any romantic attraction to anyone the entire film and says outright that she doesn’t have reproductive organs. Like we get so little rep and then just bc a character doesn’t show attraction to the male lead they’re automatically labeled lesbian by the fandom and idk that just annoys me a bit but idk if I’m being to sensitive about it.

by the way. telling people to not use ableist language isn't silencing abuse victims or taking away their language.

narcissist abuse is just emotional abuse but with an ableist coat on it. i don't care if people don't think emotional abuse counts as real abuse, why not advocate for seeing emotional abuse as valid abuse instead? you are just playing into the "emotional abuse isn't real" crowd by saying narcissistic abuse instead.

and if you are advocating for narcissistic abuse to mean abuse at the hands of a narcissist and/or someone with npd(instead of it being a synonym for emotional abuse), then my question is why do we need a word for this? and there is no unique or special way for people with narcissists or pwnpd to abuse someone. because woah! would you look at that? it is just emotional abuse.

we live in a shitty ableist world which will use any excuse to harm those with mental disorders. i don't care if someone has the best intentions, i don't care if someone genuinely doesn't mean to implicate pwnpd when they talk about narcissistic abuse, it will still hurt us, so get over yourself and fucking stop.

and before the "narcissist doesn't equal npd!!" crowd comes in, i don't care about your language games, fuck off. but even if we accept that statement as true, people with npd will still get harmed by such language. npd and narcissism are and will always be linked to eachother. if you talk about the evils of narcissism, people will connect it with npd.

even if we change the name of npd it won't help. dissociative identity disorder is still widely known as multiple personality disorder. antisocial personality disorder is still widely known as socio/psychopathy. why would npd be any different?

(and idk. i think it is kinda shitty to be like "hey let's change the name of a disorder because i am too stubborn to say selfish instead of narcissist!!")

edit: if this wasn't clear, stop saying narcissistic abuse because it hurts pwnpd! you already have plain ol' abuse, emotional abuse, hell, even selfish abuse too! telling someone to stop saying narcissistic abuse isn't silencing anyone from talking about your abuse when you can literally just change one word and be fine! holy shit

can't belive i have to say this...

but if you're anti narc abuse shit and anti using narcissistic as an insult then uh. don't go around using other ableist language.

if you think calling someone narcissistic is ableist then uh. maybe for example. DON'T USE DELUSIONAL AS AN INSULT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU TARGET IT AT PSYCHOTIC PEOPLE. WHAT.

Every time a speaking person says they are "going nonverbal" I am taking something out of their house and giving it to an actually nonverbal/nonspeaking person.

Three years into this pandemic and disabled people can’t go to the doctor without fear of getting Covid or dying. We’ve been forced into our homes. Society has made it clear how much they don’t care about us. Disabled people deserve happiness. Our mental health is not okay.

Get yourself a cat who can do both.

[ID: Two images of Dearborn the Tortie; in the first, she is lying on a brightly-patterned quilt on an orange chair, with her eyes very green because the pupils are super narrow in the sunlight. She looks like she's paying very close attention to something she's about to murder. In the second image, she is lying on a blue quilt on her side, head turned over her shoulder, looking up at the camera with wide dark pupils and an expression of extreme innocence.]

hey yall know if youre posting disability related art,,,, you should be adding image descriptions right?

like if you cant write one yourself, theres someone out there willing and able to write one for you.

i feel like disability advocacy and homeless advocacy go hand in hand. like overlap aside, if you can't be normal about homeless people then you probably can't be normal about disabled people either
