I am so fucking tired of women being asked to absorb life-altering trauma so men's lives don't become life-alteringly inconvenient.

I now own 3 different rotary tools and probably over 100 different engraving bits for them, because I am Out of Control. At least I can snag material to engrave literally anywhere. Wood and rocks outside, stuff on marketplace, thrift store finds...

At 3:00pmET today, the House of Commons is scheduled for its first vote on Bill C-39 — Carney’s push to bulldoze nature, run roughshod on Indigenous rights, and kill the right to strike. I’ll be watching to see if any Liberal MPs show a shred of a backbone in the face of their conservative leader.

Saw someone say that women intentionally make ourselves look "undesirable" by distancing ourselves from femininity as means to avoid assault.. It's not about attraction, it's about CONTROL. Pretending otherwise is victim blaming bs while rendering survivors you deem not "feminine" enough, invisible.

Sending love to all fellow survivors for whom being subjected to abuse and violence was/is such a constant, dismissed, normalized experience, that overwhelming self doubt has become second nature. These things DON'T develop in a vacuum and you're not a failure for not being "well adjusted".

Blasting David Bowie on my phone and engraving stuff with my rotary tools.. I haven't felt this kind of joy and euphoria since losing the ability to draw after my dominant hand became paralyzed. Wild what I've been missing. This feeling right here, is why people create. AI could never.

I'm 10lbs away from being the heaviest I've ever been, and after years of losing weight involuntarily because of chronic respiratory failure/pulmonary emboli/major surgeries, I'll gladly take this. I love my rolls and curves and I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.

And then when you are able to recognize what happened to you as assault & make the courageous attempt to reach out, it's brushed off as being overly emotional/having a "bad day" by the same ppl who love to sensationalize high profile cases in the news like some fucking true crime episode.

Survivors get to spend the rest of our lives navigating the debilitating long term impacts of abuse, assault and violence in a society that maintains the conditions that lead to it, while asking nothing of our perpetrators, and pathologizing us for not being better adjusted.

Constantly armchair diagnosing everyone you don't like & who has caused harm in some way with some tiktok pop psychology bullshit in an effort to distance yourself from that harm is also a great way to ensure no one examines the systemic conditions that incentivize ppl to do shitty things.

A lot of you can't stop conflating cognitive, psychiatric, & neurodevelopmental disabilities with immoral behaviour, bc it's easier to pathologize ppl for making shitty choices than it is to acknowledge we're all inherently capable (intentionally or not) of causing grave harm. You're not immune.

The people who need to be pressured to leave relationships are abusers, not the victims who they entrap. The main message shouldn’t be “leave relationships that are controlling” (which focuses on a victim’s behavior) but “leave relationships you can’t maintain without being controlling.”

There's a guy in my hometown who uses meta pervert glasses to record homeless ppl without their consent or even awareness to then plaster online under the guise of "kindness" & "spreading awareness". He's posts videos of ppl unconscious, exposing identifiable info. Multiple ppl have demanded he stop

It's really clear that wide swaths of the social media left today would have been overtly hostile to the 1970s disability rights movement and painted demands for infrastructure spending for accessibility as absurd "wreckerism".

When the water comes up to your neck and you're screaming out for help, we're drowning below you with your feet on our shoulders. It's not a matter of "who has it worse". We're all going to drown. What matters is that if you move your feet, you have someone to swim with. That's all.

a lot of white queers don't understand what whiteness is, and that makes much of their interactions with queer folk of color suck, so I'll explain a little. The two facets of whiteness that are most important in this context are that it is a social and legal exemption from racial oppression.

If you have hands and they function normally, please don't take it for granted. Since I was a child, I've loved working with my hands. I never realized how much my mental health relied on it until nerves started deteriorating and my right hand became paralyzed in one of my spine surgeries.

There's a voice in my head working tirelessly to convince me that I don't add anything of value. That I'll never be anything more than a mistake -a waste of time and effort for loved ones who will never get any of it back. The voice didn't develop in a vacuum. Just echoes of shit already said.

Close up selfie with a stick person resting against my face that's made out of various coloured pipe cleaners and little pom poms. It's accessorized with brown pipe cleaner hair, a red a yellow cleaner scarf, a pink pipe cleaner shirt and a flared blue pipe cleaner skirt.

I don't know, man. I think Ed Sheeran needs this spine reinforcement more than I do. 🤷‍♀️
An x-ray of my spine which is screwed from T1 to L5 with two paraspinal rods from my neck to just above my pelvis. There's a third, smaller rod screwed into the left side of the thoracolumbar (middle-lower) part of my spine as well.

I think this is generally good and long overdue. However, I do share concerns about how it could be exploited by cops seeking to prevent people from filming their abuse and violence, particularly of our unhoused neighbours. That is a loophole that would need to be addressed.

Wish I had the support to reactivate the mutual aid based disability support group I made for my local region a couple of yrs ago. When it was active, the group acted as a low barrier way to help keep folks housed, fed, & connected. I got so burnt out after multiple major health complications.
