Living rent free in my head right now is the way that Elton John says “toad” in goodbye yellow brick Road

I’m getting to the age where I’m starting to have healthcare providers that are around my age and it’s kind of freaking me out lol

Hey guys, I might be going back to school, for real life! For bugs!

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Being a trans ally means action.

Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Speak up.

But also: Amplify trans voices. Pay trans people. Donate to trans orgs. Create jobs and safe spaces for trans people.

Stop thinking words are enough.

*wields knife* you wanna see autism be a threat??? LOL

"why are you doing this to me"

Airlines sue to overturn rule against breaking wheelchairs Major carriers are trying to overturn a Biden-era policy that ended decades of mistreatment.

"We really need to be able to back to when we could smash peoples wheelchairs with no consequence" is definitely a choice. Sociopaths.

Thank you!!!

This is what you get when you click on the CDC's "Health Disparities Among LGBTQ Youth" page. It has been disappeared. This purge will harm some of our most vulnerable & hamper research aimed at helping them - an abdication of the CDC's vision to "equitably protect health, safety and security." 🧪

🧪 what kind of science jobs can a person get with absolutely no experience, no degree, physical limitations, and difficulty with public-facing jobs? Sincerely, your disabled autistic friend who never graduated and is trying to enter the workforce

a shame to publish a paper like this and not also publish video

"Video recordings were analysed by trained observers in order to determine the species of the animal in the wheel."

@ Johanna H. Meijer + Yuri Robbers, release the tapes !

Even though tiktok is back, I'm going to stay on Xiaohongshu as well because I really like having the opportunity to talk with people from a different culture, especially one that has been so hidden/stereotyped for Americans. I've actually learned a lot about Chinese culture and language already.

The fact that the app creators were able to add translation features so quickly was really nice, and having that at my disposal is honestly incredible. I could've never imagined having such quick translation tech at my disposal when I was in high school for instance.

I was like, I might do two of those things, but thank you lol. He was really nice and we compared some "snake oil" ideologies in both America and China. It's really nice to be able to talk easily with people from places that America has built so many negative stereotypes around.

This really sweet guy on Xiaohongshu saw a post I made about anxiety and mentioned that he also has anxiety. He asked if I wanted any advice, and I said sure, and he told me that getting Chinese massages, fishing, playing billiards, and taking walks have really helped him lol.

I finally was able to tidy up some areas of my apartment. It's still not nearly where I want it to be, but it's a lot better/more manageable.

It's also really fun to be watching Anime and be able to recognize bits and pieces of what they're saying. I've only been practicing regularly for about half a year, I'm excited to see where I'll be in another half a year!

I wish my brain were better with languages, and that I had started learning languages at a younger age. I'm a bit better at Spanish, which I started learning in High School. It's still really fun to learn new languages, even if it's hard.

I've been learning Japanese with Duolingo, and I briefly tried to add Chinese as well since I joined Xiaohonshu, but it got a bit confusing since so many of the characters look the same and learning Japanese has been difficult enough with it being such a new language format compared to English.

yea!!!

Yea! I got them from pair eyewear!

It's nice being in spaces where people regularly want to do things with me :)

Thaaaaaanks!!! Me too :D

Ty friend!!
