no one is above anyone else. Anyone who says that is a cruel, insecure coward.

My version of propaganda is superliminal:

Fucking do better, cunts. Be who you are, MORE.

Process your experiences AT YOUR PACE.
No one else can do it for you; only you can rein it in.

You're allowed to enjoy things. You don't need permission.
Don't try to hurt others. DON'T IGNORE when you hurt others.

Pleasure is not a sin. Telling others they're "bad" is bad.
People are individual beings with their own experiences and needs. Be kind when you can; be brief when you can't.

cis people cis people cis people cis people cis people cis people cis people cis people cis people.

the cis. cis gender. cissification. don't say cis (say cis; go on, do it! I won't tell). cis cis cis cis cis. the cis genda, cisagenda, cis agenda, cisgenda, cisgender, sithgender? idk, fuck star wars. LET FEMMES LIKE THINGS. LET YOURSELF LIKE FEMMES. LET FEMMES. Just let them be., at all. okay ?? thank.

Also damn. Hierarchies really suck.
Leave feminine gay men alone. Leave masculine trans women alone. Leave nonbinary people alone.
Leave your...self? alone? Well, don't do that. Find community and shit.

Make conversation at the laundromat (if you feel comfortable doing so).
Chat to a stranger on the bus (if you feel safe doing so).
Find a local hobby group (or start one if you have the energy).

Ooh shit, I should listen to this. https://overcast.fm/+AA0MYsLyd0s

If you also struggle with migraines or judging how much pain means 2 over the counter cocodamols do nothing, I cannot recommend podcasts enough.

Listen to podcasts. Let your eyes, optics, and overfiring brain rest. It won't cure your ills and woes, but it lets you drift through something other than to-do lists, frustrations, duties, tasks, and fuck knows what else.

Yes, you can rest. Recuperation is important. Capitalism will end. We will build something better.

Unfortunately, we will still have migraines. But you can still rest, and we will still have podcasts. Modern campfires, eh?

ohhh I'm a little manic. At that means the prednisolone (corticosteroid) is finally kicking in / has been working this whole time but had so much backlog of "maybe dying but too tired to care".

Anyway, my upper back still FUCKING HURTS and I might have chronic pancreatitis. Not like NHS docs have the staff or stuff to care, right? They do care. They do their best. But you can't get blood from a stone. And many NHS staff are now under headstones.

... Yay! Privatising essential needs can't possibly go wrong!

Anyway! more inhaler and when did I last eat? DRINK WATER PLEBS. SUP. SIP AND SIP, THAT WE MAY OVERTHROW THE MASTERS! Mr Wines is having a sale again. Fuck that entity.

"That's probably an issue." I love it.

Life Pro Tip:
If your parents never demonstrated how to apologise for hurting you, then a shortcut until you learn is to (CAREFULLY, KNOWINGLY) play it off as an absurd joke.

Get comfortable saying "Sorry, I'm trying to be ridiculous while I practice something."

idk how to explain it, but like, my parents got on me about ANYTHING. So any mistake I made was an opportunity to be mocked, sometimes quite viciously.

Best I could do for a while was play it up a bit when I needed to apologise, and make "mmfh" sounds with an upset look.
Depends who you're with obviously, but it can get the point across.
As long you put in genuine effort -- which only you can know, pal, so don't pull on people unnecessarily -- then other people who try will notice.

"Yep.
I just came here from PhilosyNoir and yes.
I immediately thought "because they're associated with femininity, which is ascribed with Badness".

Some Instagram replies confused me.
They denied the idea of cats as similar to autistic people: "clear in their own social norms, with difficulty learning yours, cats are punished constantly for not being something they are not."

Depending on my mood, I might make snarky comments about allistic people needing the extra facial cues to understand dog feelings. They need sappy music to know a scene is supposed to be sad, or someone to laugh so others know it's a joke.

It's almost like neurotypical people are actually really bad at "intuiting" anything. They could be really good at ignoring how they can't intuit anything.
They sure do get angry when that difference in expectation and reality is openly stated! "

ok I ate again and now it hurts again.
I'm not spiritual or religious but can someone vibe their deity / deities / spirits to request a little pancreatic jiggling, please'm?

I'm not dying, just hurts a lot.

It hurts. IDGAF why. I don't have a diagnosis shopping list. I want a treatment menu. That's it.
