whelp tumblr is a useless pile of garbage so i’m making a post with links to pin now i guess <3

basic “about me” page

my carrd (full “about” section, byf/dni, blacklist, kintypes, links) – there are no gifs, low-contrast text portions, or eye-burning colors (outside of some small possible areas in my kintype images). i have functional navigation trees with large buttons, and you don’t have to click on any anime boys or tiny icons to find the information. trust me, i hate that shit too.

a page explaining some of my tagging system

custom ask page with my askbox rules

a post about boundaries: answer to “will you reblog my donation post?”

PSA: if you like an old post of mine, thereby reminding me via my notifications that the post exists, and i decide i no longer want that post on my blog, i will delete it <3

heads up: this post is tagged “reborking is prohibited”! see my tags page for explanation if the meaning of that isn’t clear.

note: blank and/or empty blogs get blocked and reported on sight. look sapient or get the fuck out

hey so remember how i mentioned i was trying to access a program to get a wheelchair i can use without having to spend thousands of dollars?

(or maybe i didn’t mention that here. oh well, that’s all the summary you really need.)

turns out they only supply devices for use within the home and solely within the home. if you so much as want to go out into your back yard, they won’t help you, because they don’t cover mobility aids to help people “access the community”. because disabled people are just supposed to rot alone in their fucking homes i guess!! how dare i want to be able to go anywhere when i have a flare-up of any kind!!

fuck the ontario ministry of health and fuck their assistive devices program.

DASHBOARD UNFUCKER V1.0

as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter’s. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site’s actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.

HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.

here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:

and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn’t received the update:

it’s hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it’s also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it’s a good fix.

the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit “create new script”, and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.

youngchronicpain:

Whenever a person walks out of the accessible bathroom stall and sees me, a wheelchair user, sitting outside waiting for the stall, they often apologize.

In the beginning, I said, “No worries!” Because I was too scared to be confrontational.

Then I started saying nothing.

But after a while, I realized that some disabled people may be a portion of the people that apologize. And I never want to make an invisibly disabled person feel bad for using accommodations that they need. There are many different reasons a disabled person would need the stall!

(It is tiring waiting for ages while someone uses the stall to change, or do their makeup. It is not annoying for anyone who needs the stall to use it.)

So, I’ve decided to start saying, “That’s okay! I believe every disabled person should be able to use the accessible stall!”

Because then, if they are invisibly disabled, hopefully that will put them at ease.

And if the person isn’t disabled, it will remind them that the accessible stall is not just “the big stall.”

periodic reminder that i block kink blogs. if you’re going to interact with me here, it has to be from a sfw blog. if your main is a kink blog, simply do not interact. come the fuck on.

Here’s the thing…I understand how difficult it is if you’re not a man to look at men and those who want to be men and think ???? That??? That’s what you want??? You’re allowed to have felt ugly when you were forced to be masc. You’re allowed to look at men and not find them in any way appealing even aesthetically.

But you’ve got to understand that it’s also ok if others have the same feelings you do, but about femininity.

Neither masculinity, femininity or androgyny is inherently beautiful, empowering or freeing. They become those things when a person gets to choose how to express themselves through them. And there are no wrong choices.

So if people are enthusiastic about being masc even in ways you and maybe most of society find ugly, just move on without saying anything negative and vice versa.

i’m still fucking working up the spoons to delete all my twitter accounts (i have to go through and archive some things first and that takes a Lot of energy. energy which i have NOT had due to various health issues) because of the tweetdeck changes and now tumblr pulls this fucking shit with a Twitter 2.0 Dashboard Layout that looks like it was designed with exclusively tablets in mind and i did not want to have to leave TWO FUCKING WEBSITES AT ONCE

but if they do not PUT IT THE FUCK BACK i might just fucking have to!!! absolutely fucking disgusting.

go follow me on pillowfort. i have the same username there. you can sign up for free with the rolling waiting list.

🌟 New

• We’ve renamed the “Include stuff in your orbit” dashboard setting to “Include posts liked by the blogs you follow”. It still controls the same behavior: whether or not you’ll see posts liked by blogs you follow in your Following feed. Also, reminder that you can hide your own likes from this feature in your blog settings.
• On web, on the mobile layout of the site, we’ve shuffled the order of the items in the navigation drawer slightly.

🛠 Fixed

• We fixed an issue with the activity graph on web that could cause your browser to cache an outdated copy of the data. Now your browser should refresh with the latest data every time you visit that page.

🚧 Ongoing

• Nothing to report here today.

🌱 Upcoming

• Starting tomorrow (July 19th), some of you will see a new navigation layout for the desktop website that we’re experimenting with.

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Want to share your feedback about something? Check out our Work in Progress blog and start a discussion with the community.

i thought that my dashboard being stuck in a god damned TABLET LAYOUT was a bug. are you people fucking serious right now?

It’s important to me that everyone understands that if you’ve got an autistic friend who periodically sends you pictures/videos/whatever of your Thing, because they know you’re into it… They love you.

Now don’t get me wrong, It may not necessarily be romantic love, they might not want to run off to a little farm in Montana where you’ll be married forever and raise little sheeps…

But they definitely love you. And they’re so happy when they spot a post about X and go “ooh, my friend likes X! I’ll send it to them!”.

Because they love you and want you to be happy.

Happiness is stored in the 3am discord DM of a link to a Tumblr post of a cute raccoon

Neurotypical people might do this too for the same reason, but I can’t speak for them. I don’t understand how they work.

don’t worry everyone my trip to the hospital two days in a row has led to nothing more serious than having to take a 10 day course of antibiotics (which i will be taking all of and not stopping early due to knowing how antibiotics work). i will be ok (thumbs-up emoji)

But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it. 

But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables. 

When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades. 

Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them. 

The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.

Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

Like, last year I watched no fewer than twenty-nine monarch caterpillars grow up on my milkweed and fly away as butterflies. I watched swallowtails and moths grow. There are hummingbirds fighting over flowers now.

I did that. Me. You can do the same.

Is this post about making a garden or beating depression

As someone with clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression;

Yes.

every time i find out about another new benefit to taking t that i didn’t know before i’m like damn is this still available whilst blocking dht? and then there’s no answer to my question because almost nobody wants to take t with a dht blocker because they all want to become hairy (and more power to them, for real, but if i ever became any more hairy than i am i would have to start removing my skin outright)

i just wish the effects of different hormone treatments were better studied in more detail so those of us who are not planning to take a “normal” transition route could actually understand all of what’s likely to go on

rays-occult-books:

y’all have GOT to stop putting that stupid “crab day” post on my dash, op is a transphobe and tumblr isn’t your starving artist friend who needs a gofundme to make it to tomorrow. this site is a company above all babes, don’t forget that they’re flagging queer user content as explicit at a disproportionately higher rate and still refuse to do anything about the porn bots and literal nazis.

your periodic reminder that i block harry potter fans

using the name of an extremely minor character in your url rather than a major character or a hogwarts house does not exempt you from scrutiny, nor from being blocked as soon as i confirm your harry potter fan status. neither does hiding it in your likes/reblogs and leaving it out of your bio. i am not giving y'all transphobes any fucking ground
