I hate car culture just as much as the next person but as someone who lives in the middle of fucking nowhere and is still closer to a town than a lot of rural people, you've gotta accept that cars and other forms of personal transportation are always gonna exist in some form. We can't eliminate it entirely (and we shouldn't try, personal transportation is also something that a lot of disabled people heavily depend on, especially severely immunocompromised people and people who have large equipment they need to bring with them) but we can focus on making it more sustainable AND providing more public transportation options for people who can and will make another choice when given the opportunity.

this also resonates a lot with me as a domestic abuse survivor. If i had still had my own car by the time my relationship got physically violent, I would have been able to get away a lot sooner. Yes, I was living in a city with decent public transit at the time (san francisco), but what I really needed was a way to get outside of the city very quickly, in a way that my ex could not predict, with all of my belongings with me, possibly in the middle of the night. Public transit in its current state just.. cannot check all of those boxes all the time

i don't see a ton of talk on here about transportation access as a tool in the domestic violence prevention kit but it is critical imo. sometimes a situation can go downhill really really quickly, and having to wait 15 minutes for a bus can make all the difference for someone who is in active danger. if i hadn't had to sell my subie (for financial abuse reasons, Lol) it would have saved me like. at least a year of getting knocked around.

Don't hang onto being a woman if it isn't right for you, there are trans women hatching every day who will be much better at it.

Don't hang onto being a man if it isn't right for you, there are trans men hatching every day who will be much better at it.

I’m hanging on to both of them cause I’m greedy

Someone else got to give up their gender bc you took it. Great work!

it's incredibly fucked up that there is a group of disabled people (people with psychosis) who cannot even disclose their condition online or to others without a deluge of humourless losers deciding that their first reaction will be to try and trigger that psychosis with shitty "jokes". same category of people who will send flashing gifs as soon as someone says they have photosensitive epilepsy. these cunts would feed someone a known allergen just to be edgy. imagine being such a feckless dog-like bastard that disability is a funny thing to exploit for the sake of being edgy and not an act of incredible violence

hi have you considered not putting examples of unreality jokes in my notes when you guys reblog this? you are aware i see them right, I don't want to see that shit on a post I'm complaining about it

whenever I confess to people that i feel like I am just roleplaying as a normal person they're always like noooo you don't strike me as someone who's roleplaying as a normal person at all!!! :) and every time internally im like well yes that's because I am excellent at it

Spin the wheel. This is now your highest stat.

Sweet girl

Welcome to a new age of predictive text.

Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay

Like a lot of disabled and neurodivergent and mentally ill ways of living and expressing yourself are both not normal and not harming anyone and it's the last part we should focus our attention on

@heterodox-heterographer you've hit the nail in the head

im fucking crying dude they are literally that post
