as a nonbinary person I shall only be posting my left titty which is my boy titty, and not the right one which is the horrid unclean girl titty, this is as tumblr has decreed
btw you should absolutely read stuff you don’t agree with. you should think critically about it. you should reflect and find different stimuli and maybe even form your own thought based on or opposed to it. ideas aren’t contagious and reading words someone else has told you are “bad” won’t infect you like a virus and make you “evil”. read with your own brain.
If you tell the average person “Yeah, back in the 80s the CIA was funneling cocaine into the US and helping spread crack into Black neighborhoods in order to raise money for fascist militias in South America, and then a journalist broke the story & he ‘committed suicide’ by shooting himself twice in the back of the head,” they’re gonna look at you like you’re rambling about chemtrails and space aliens, but that’s just like…a thing that happened. They made a movie & everything.
it’s pretty much confirmed and declassified at this point so this isn’t even one of the things they’re bothering to hide anymore.
I am seeking
people to take a survey about pronoun preferences and experiences of people who
have a gender that is not fully captured by the gender binary. Anyone who fits
that description is welcome to take it.
Because of Tumblr’s weird external link policy, I’ll reblog again with the link in a sec. If you’re signal boosting, please boost the version with the link!
It takes about 15
minutes or so to complete. It has questions about what your pronouns are, how
you picked them, where you use them, and how you let people know about them, as
well as some basic demographic information. You can choose to skip any of the
questions, and you can also stop any time.
I’d love to get
the voices of all kinds of people – neopronoun users, people who use they, he,
she, or it, people whose pronouns are static, people whose pronouns shift,
people who have changed pronouns a lot, people who have never changed
pronouns… As many different experiences as possible.
Also, while the
survey itself is in English, there are a couple of sections for people who also
speak other languages. I’d like to get data on pronoun strategies in multiple
languages, so if you’re multilingual, it would be great to hear your
experiences!
if ur disabled or chronically ill u know that the tv trope of “doctors will stop at nothing to learn more about a patient’s extremely rare symptoms and find answers” is a crock of shit. all doctors know is gaslight disabled people, ignore ur pain, tell u to exercise, and do the same test 10 times
I’ve had eczema since I popped out(literally) and the only thing the doctors did for the first 20 years of my life was mock me for having scales and tell me not to eat dairy.
I’m nearly 25 and it wasn’t until last month that I learned eczema has been defined as an autoimmune disease for the last 5 years, on tumblr.
Shows about doctors where they’re determined to find out what’s wrong with their patients are propaganda in a similar way to how cop shows are propaganda. They both exist to tell you to trust in a system that often either doesn’t care if you’re harmed or actively means to harm you. Both types of shows convince people not to question or self-advocate.
…holy shit
I knew about copaganda but I NEVER thought about docaganda.
Same reason why anything in the physiological sciences will tell you that self-diagnosis is bad and wrong because it would take away power from doctors and make it seem less like what doctors do is of such high importance.
I have cfs and started having serious mobility issues in my early twenties. encouragement from my loved ones lead me to try various mobility aids which gave me back my autonomy and safety.
BUT. when I first tried using a cane the doctor I saw at the time freaked out. she told me that I shouldn’t rely on using one and it would just make me worse. I had a panic attack and decided to not use a cane… even though I was going to concert that night. I ended up getting pretty hurt and needing days of rest after. that was kind of the moment I realized “oh, a doctor who I see for ten minutes every other month isn’t the authority on my body”
I have POTS but my cardiologist won’t give me an official diagnosis because she doesn’t want me living with “the stigma and mentality of a disability” as opposed to the trauma of living with a disability for which I can get no aid for.
Docaganda is real and I cannot watch medical dramas anymore without feeling both betrayed and gaslit. If you’re some of the medical people who follow me and send me kind messages letting me know my blog has opened your eyes up to the hidden struggles of chronic illness: please don’t ever lose that. Please don’t lose your compassion. Please. So few doctors actually care.
