so among other things, this month is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month, and i noticed there's an overall lack of posts about my condition on this site. however, i have nothing substantial to say about it (aside from the fact that it's incurable, potentially life-threatening, and only treatable through limited, flawed means also you can donate here to help find a cure if you want idk just saying), so i will try my best to make a festive haiku:
neurology staff
see my dummy thick shunt and
fall over in lust

rbing this since it's seen marginally more interaction in the past day or so than it did when i first posted it back in september. it's not hydrocephalus awareness month anymore/yet, but obviously the lack of better treatments or cures isn't exactly a seasonal issue. every cent puts us closer to better solutions.
unironically love bluesky its like if twitter collectively took a nap and calmed down and realized nothing matters besides furry dick and jokes
theres no discourse, verified stuff, doomposting it's literally so quiet bc no one has joined and started shit yet
its like if twitter and tumblr had a baby then forgot about it and it had to raise itself

it's also being made by crypto shills so fuck that noise
okay and
like nothing is perfect y'all sometimes you have to settle for shit. Almost every site is run by someone problematic, its just the way life is going forward because the people with money are the ones who affect others the most
im not gonna pretend its perfect but im also not about to leave because a cryptobro owns it lol
I wear a bra not for my own comfort, but to keep others safe. to keep them contained.

Gomez and Morticia Addams got divorced. I woke up mortified and with a sense of inexplicable dread.
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don't even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i'm opening fire
tumblr's current business model isn't profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don't let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you're throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website
''but tumblr needs to make money!!!''
if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they're not even doing that. every change they've made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks
ocd is not fucking destigmatized
"intrusive thought" gets thrown around by assholes talking about putting strainers on their heads or stepping on a leaf who in the next sentence will say "if your thoughts are about actually hurting people they should put you in a psych ward". compulsions and rituals get seen as proof you're "crazy". ocd insight CAN be delusional, even. pocd and sexual ocd is especially demonized, though even something as "harmless" (to others. not *us*) as contamination OCD is still mocked, belittled, and seen as a sign something is fundamentally wrong with you. I have seen people twice my age advocate for violence against anyone who thinks the way I've been forced by my mental illness to think since i was 6, maybe 7 years old.
OCD is not destigmatized.
sorry babe, you gotta keep edging until you beat me in cummingopoly
how fucking crazy will the posting be the day jk rowling dies
Like to charge, reblog to cast
once someone saw me talking enthusiastically about someone else's drawing of a bug person, and they asked me if I'd ever heard of Coelary, the graphic novel about bug people, which i wrote and drew and self-published. it was lovely
