when you mention seeing a creator out doing a day to day activity, you are literally putting them in danger.

you find out you live near a streamer? shut the fuck up.
you go to the same coffee shop? shut the fuck up.

especially if that creator is a woman or femme presenting. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

i keep seeing posts saying things along the lines of "if i keep inviting you and you say no i'm not going to invite you anymore"

and i just need people to know if you have chronically ill friends, this leaves us with the option of masking our pain & getting sicker or having no friends 🧵 #disability

When I got all of mine out, I mostly lived on soup (specifically blended soyp, so no chewing). Yogurt protein drinks are a great shout, I used those to help after my most recent surgery.

I hope you have as smooth a recovery as possible 💖

reminder that you can be the gentlest, kindest person--you can dedicate your life to protecting the planet!--and still keep a little list of people you fucking hate. it's okay to be angry! anger is a symptom of giving a shit!

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

This is extremely urgent now. If I’m unable to pay my housing utilities ASAP they will be cut off in a couple days.

If you’re able to help, whether it’s by donating or resharing, I would appreciate it so much.

Stephen | Queer & Disabled Graphic Designer @pronouncedsteven.bsky.social · Aug 24

Living w/ disabilities & being unable to work full-time, has placed financial stress on me. Most months, I cant afford the cost of living. I'm trying to raise funds to pay off bills that are past due & moving into collections.

If you have the means please help. $166/435

Just a reminder your trans friends, and the trans people you don't know, need support right now. Shit's fucked, so if you have any trans friends, please remind them they matter to you. If you don't, be open to the possibility of a trans friend (please do not go hunt down a trans person to befriend)

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
