new year's eve
Ethan: (flipping through a cocktail book) martini sour... ew! egg whites?
Me: yes, all "sours" have egg whites. Like whiskey sours. Maybe that's why you don't like them.
Ethan: (side eyes) what about Salmonella?
YAY
Tonight Ethan and I are going to rock out to The Mountain Goats, pack our bags for our Florida VacationSurgeryMegaDuo trip, and drink lots of alcohol!!!
He’s also gonna take me out to dinner to our fave seedy bar restaurant that’s walking distance from the apartment. :) cuz he rulez.

@anticapitalist
I’m not gonna go into my archives to find a series of posts where I argued for far too long with an anarchist brodude telling me how even though I’m disabled I should learn to defend myself against rape because we live in a culture & it’s gonna happen anyway so I should be prepared while simultaneously comparing my body to material goods and saying shit like “oh you...
Ahh!
My best friend Mat and his girlfriend Renee, who I’m pretty close friends with (we lived together for 2 years etc.) just got engaged!!!!
I knew this would happen eventually but it makes me happy. :)
blah
i kind of want to type about what happened at my parent’s house but i don’t even know how to begin.
also remember that report i was supposed to do? it’s still not finished.. i hope i actually finish it today so i can have fun for a little bit in florida. mreehhskdjskdjskdaa.
“ALL FEMINISTS HATE DA MENZ”
– People who don’t know shit about feminism (via anticapitalist)
LOL, this is coming from anticapitalist, the same dude who once told me that it would be my fault if I was raped b/c I can’t defend myself due to my disability. I LOVE TUMBLR /sarcasm.

“In order for the model to work, there has to be some way to tell that the other person has a challenge that needs some extra accommodation and acceptance.

Anon submitted:
People need to stop referring to each other as things like “sweetie” and other pet names during SJ arguments. Or “hon.” It does not make you sweet. It does not suddenly give you an edge of acid wit. It just makes you a tool. Just. Stop.
yes. one of my pet peeves. being called any sort of pet name sends me into a rage.

Drinking a french martini!
because i finally ran my model over and it makes ecological sense and LOOKS SO PRETTY:
the “cooler” colors (dark blue) mean that there’s very little probability little brown bats still forage there in the summer, and the warmer colors are where they’re more likely to be.

…what data? I mean HONESTLY Tumblr has practically zero privacy settings almost anything you put into it is public.
yeah I don’t know. It also said if I didn’t uninstall it they would provide no “support” to me. Which. I don’t know if they mean tumblr-general support or like...
uhh, Tumblr just asked me to uninstall missing E by trying to scare me into thinking the developers were going to steal my data. O_O

The Atheism subreddit proved that Richard Dawkins is so full of shit he’s legally a septic tank by launching rape and kidnapping threats at a 15-year-old girl when she posted a picture of herself with a book by Carl Sagan. Rebecca Watson wrote about it on Skepchick, “Reddit Makes Me Hate Atheists” which prompted Kate...

This is why I don’t want to go to grad school. Well I kinda do..but I’m hesitant hah.
It’s… hard. I don’t like to stray anybody away from grad school because it’s definitely something that could be fulfilling & all that.. but most of the graduate students I personally know are pretty miserable, myself included. Grad school is...

Unfucking of habitats.
My parent’s home is terribly disgusting—like, really disgusting. It triggers my OCD into overdrive and the fact that they don’t even buy cleaning equipment or supplies leaves me powerless to fix it myself. Being there for a few days for Christmas was really bad, not to mention the fact that there was a really terrible abusive situation that happened between my brother & me...

yep.
i am now thoroughly convinced there is some person (or persons?) who finds a lot of amusement in watching the Tumblr SJ-sphere fall all over itself and fight with each other over things and thus decides to send a few really popular people the same question about something that hasn’t really been discussed at length that they know will be controversial and then watches as they sit back,...

“Transabled—Pretending”
[Content note: discussion of violent dysmorphic thoughts and self-harm]
This makes me so uncomfortable that I actually had to stop reading halfway through, but this rundown (by a disabled person in a wheelchair) is very good.
Basically, the people behind transabled.org represent themselves not as primarily dysmorphic, but rather as...

So now people with actual psychosomatic disorders that have been documented and accounted for by professionals, like your humble narrator, will get to feel even more shame because somebody in a moment of infinite wisdom came up with the idea that ‘transabled’ was a thing and now the internet will never forget it.

back in PA after an all-day drive where I was super paranoid my car was going to burst into flames due to an exploded engine.
luckily, that didn’t happen.
ahh yaaay
Ethan will be here in like 15 minutez and I can give him my gift and then we’re gonna get sushi and cuddle and watch movies before we have to drive back to PA tomorrow! I’ve been really miserable here at my parent’s house (some serious horrible shit went down last night where I almost left to go home) so I am excited to feel less stressed.

Winter Wonderland by John Darnielle

or-the best thing i read on twitter yesterday
gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is the vulture. a beautiful sight, he tears at the corpse, walking in a winter wonderland. sleigh bells ring, can you hear them, Satan’s teeth, learn to fear them. a terrible sight, the end of the age, walking in a winter wonderland. later on, we’ll conspire, as we burn in the fire. to face...

tumblr is the best sometimes
like when I’m looking for stuff to put on my Kindle and I can seriously tag-search the title or authors and find links to download the free ebook files. It’s making me so happy.
If you have any suggestions for me, PLEASE send them my way. I’ll honestly read anything and I trust my follower’s tastes :P

As a matter of fact I actually do know what it’s like to feel invalidated, erased, and judged. It feels a lot like someone without a chronic illness barging into a discussion that was (while heated and messed up on a lot of levels) primarily taking place among people with chronic illnesses and throwing around a bunch of prescriptivistic stuff about how...

Soya is the great divider; you’re either for it, or against it. Is this humble pulse really such a demon bean, or is the anti-soya brigade using scare stories and pseudo science to further their own agenda? If you look carefully, most anti-soya stories can be traced back to one single group in the US called the Weston A Price Foundation (WAPF).
WAPF claims to be dedicated to promoting...

I’m apparently a “snarky bitch face” for disagreeing with another person’s definition of ableism/disability. Nice.
Also, I should apparently stop talking about disability altogether. Cuz, you know, as a disabled person, I am really bad at understanding how complicated it can be.

cosmopolitan-fascist asked: again, that wasn't the issue. it wasnt about 'assuming you'd be incompatible.' it was about, you meet someone and arent compatible sexually, leaving them = ableism and sex is a need people should compromise.

[ableism, sarcastic dehumanizing of disabled people]
why do you think so many able-bodied people get touted as fantastic human beings deserving gold fucking medals if they have sexual relationships with disabled people? because they assume we can’t possibly do anything sexually satisfying, what with all those dysfunctions, missing limbs, etc. there’s no possible way we could be...

cosmopolitan-fascist asked: no! thats not what the argument is about, dont get me wrong. of course people with disabilities can have fulfilling sex lives. lavender-labia is suggesting its wrong to not date someone who cannot meet your sexual needs if the reason for that is a disability. so for ex if i dont date someone with erectile dysfunction, i'm being oppressive because i should just get over my need for sex since...

I don’t want to go. Also, I convinced my mother this is what I was going to wear (I’ve decided to boycott wearing “fancy clothes” because I am just always uncomfortable in them). She only agreed after I did this:
instead of sneakers, i am wearing flats. i guess that’s fancy enough?
