sometimes i worry that we will run out of moths. i fear we are moving through them at an alarming rate. i scroll through this blog and i see the amount of posts that have already been identified as moths and i think, how many more moths are left? many i hope. i love moths.
isn’t it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators…
schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face
yall: “yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://”
What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?
1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else
2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people’s symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.
also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.
can y'all please reblog this version instead
Sure thing! That was very well-written catgirlapologist also i feel sad that is true.
and she is losing in the most horrific way possible
It’s a straight up one sided smack down, first time it’s like it punched her and is throwing her about and then she’s just crying on the floor, second time it’s like she’s getting fucking choked by an invisible force
This is straight up like if an invisible man was abusing her
WHY DID SHE GO BACK FOR SECONDS
why does she make source engine ragdoll collision sounds
was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that’s happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that’s over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that’s screaming “YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND” and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out
me and my girlfriend are low on funds right now, and might not have enough by the end of the month to pay rent. further more, a trans girl is going to be escaping her family to live with us, which short term will set us back as we need to get her a plane ticket and bags, but long term will probably help
i have an interview tomorrow and i get the results back from the one i’ve already done saturday, but i’m not too hopeful
we have about 300 we can allocate for rent, and it’ll be 1300 since we use a service that lets us split up the payment into parts we can pay later
we’re both transgender(transfem and trans masc respectively) disabled systems who both escaped from their abusive families in texas and florida. we’d really appreciate it if we could get help while we try to figure out getting jobs for us both
we also have a patreon for this blog linked in our pinned post, but we’re still working out the best benifets for it, so only feel like pledging if you want to help us have a more consistent source of income
0/1000

today’s vetted fundraisers. eid just began - instead of a happy time of togetherness and celebration, families like these are having to spend the holy days amidst the cruelest of circumstances, deprived of all components of safe and healthy life. now is a more vital time than ever to support these campaigns. any contribution you can make is valuable.
hello everyone i asked you alot to help and im shy for asking you more but this time not for me this campaign for displaced people who are struggling to get good water to drink and for daily use like bathroom especially kids.and food bec its expensive . this will help my brother and my relatives it has been 9 months and they lost their source of income i hope you help them as much as u can. thanks
This fundraiser will help provide the basic needs for 50 people from 10 families living in a make-shift refugee camp. These people haven’t had access to water and food and other basic necessities. Please consider sending money their way.
Saturday, June 22nd: Hello everyone, I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I’m struggling to get groceries and keep my utilities on which are almost out of credit.
As most of you are already aware from my previous posts, I have been struggling financially these past few years due to COVID-19 and my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under continuous reviews, which is due to my worsening mental/physical health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. After a lengthy health assessment, I was declared unfit for work and received the basic ADP, which I won’t receive until June 28th.
To be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no other income, I’ve been relying on the kindness of others to get by. However, due to my outstanding debt, I was only able to pay off my overdue rent, but I am still struggling to get groceries and keep my utilities on which are almost out of credit and about to be cut off, which will put me in even more debt!!
I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much.
You may be surprised at how often I see someone saying “Nobody is talking about (problem)” on my tumblr dash while my entire dash is filled with almost nothing but posts about how nobody is talking about (problem)
“Nobody is talking about this!”
My brother in christ you just linked to a CNN article about it.
I especially don’t appreciate the implication by some posts on here and some anons I get that because I’m not joining in on reblogging those posts that I don’t care about (problem). I do, but I also don’t like guilt tripping people, I don’t like weighing in on things I haven’t researched yet, and I’m generally here on social media to try and forget about my credit card debt for a few minutes. Not pledge my allegiance to the correct social causes every day.
Getting the USA out of South Korea (and Japan!) is a trans rights issue, too, by the way.
Many trans people, of all gender spectrum, in South Korea and Japan both, find themselves doing sex work (as is true with cis ppl and is true in much of the west of the world). What makes this exceptionally a trans rights issue is that esp in case of South Korea, the big area for LGBT+ activities is right next to one of many the U.S. bases in Seoul.
This creates an environment where a lot of soldiers will abuse trans sex workers, and the governing bodies that are supposed to protect the South Korean citizens, already unwilling to intervene on behalf of trans people, doubly turn them away because they aren’t willing to mediate disputes between U.S. soldiers and South Korean citizens.
This has created an environment where trans sex workers I work with in my irl activism in South Korea have all pointed to the U.S. soldiers as the most dangerous and worst customers for their work. What’s more, they say that the soldiers know that they can really get away with all of this, much than with cis sex workers, and target trans sex workers.
I have literally seen people that are supposedly trans-safe get mad at me for pointing out that the U.S.A and its legacy in South Korea is toxic in every avenue (the discussion was about the environment a few days back), and, like, please fucking get a grip. You’re abandoning your international siblings that are victims of your awful empire.
my favourite instagram account is “wheredoesthepeecomeout” and it’s run by a girl who asks men on tinder where cis women pee from and then documents their answers
some highlights:
everybody sit down we have a winner
Oh my fucking God lmao
Pee does come from the bloodstream, but I’d be real worried if that was where it came out
This is the funniest possible use of this image I can think of.
I know the US government acts like a corporation but it’s not.
Not voting isn’t the same as a boycott. Because you can’t bankrupt a government by not voting. All you get by not voting is less control over what the money is doing.
The money comes from taxes, not voting. Abstaining from voting does nothing to reduce the governments ability to get money and spend it on shit.
So yes, sometimes you vote to reduce harm because not voting WILL NOT REDUCE HARM.
It’s not a boycot. Abstaining doesn’t take power from the government. It just reduces the number of people they feel answerable to.
Not only do they not give a shit if you don’t vote it’s precisely what the most sadistic ones are hoping for.
“calling someone ‘it’ is dehumanizing” well yeah it can be, but have you considered that it also doesn’t feel very nice to not have your pronouns respected?
