we fucked up

my phone isn’t charging even though i plugged her innnnn dramatic ass bitch. YOUR PUSSY IS FILLED! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT

Can you stop bouncing and moaning on it 😐 please for the love of god

i see now that i shouldn’t have made this post on tumblr. specifically.

talking about dating men the way cis “allies” talk about transitioning

im happy for you but you should really be careful and consider the risks

maybe you don’t need to date a man, you know you could always try being with a masculine woman

Hi I want to go over a few key points from this response I got from tumblr.

1. it is worth noting that this is not a reply to my appeal, or if it is, it is not framed as such, instead it is “regarding” my “inquiry to tumblr” as if I had asked a question
2. it says my blog has been “suspended” rather than the language used in the initial email which told me it was “terminated”. A suspension implies a length of time, and that it may be reinstated. This is in direct contradiction to the language of “termination” previously used.
3. Regarding the accusations of sexually explicit material: I have never posted video or photos of myself engaged in a sexual act. I have posted nudity within the boundaries of the user guidelines (never focusing on genital stimulation, or genitals in a sexual context). I have occasionally written texts posts of a sexual nature. These have been few and far between far between and have never been flagged by tumblr or brought to my attention as problematic. Indeed tumblr has a long tradition of erotic fanfic etc on the site that could be called “art” in the same way these texts posts of mine could be called artistic due to their literary nature.
4. Tumblr is admitting that not only do staff READ YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES but they also ACTIVELY MONITOR THEM for content they disapprove of between adults. With that said, I have very rarely engaged in sexual messaging on here.
5. I have never submitted sexual content to someone else’s blog.

I fully intend to go forward with the lawsuit on the grounds of discriminatory enforcement of policy (which they’ve already lost a case about trans women to at the New York human rights commission), as well as not abiding by their own rules and policies in general, enforcing them arbitrarily and without grounds, including the mislabeling of medical information as sexually explicit. My lawsuit will be a small personal one via either a human rights commission or a small claims court. While my goal will be to win, and after talking to a lawyer I firmly believe I can, I will also be satisfied in costing this company as much as I personally can in legal fees regardless of outcome. I encourage someone with more resources than myself to launch a class action lawsuit against tumblr. I will happily sign on to that lawsuit and work to the fullest extent possible with the team.

Should tumblr desire to prevent my lawsuit they are free to reinstate my blog and restore my content. If not, I presume this is their final word on the matter and will serve them sometime early in the new year.

Thankfully as a Canadian I have much stronger trans rights protections than my new york counterparts did so this should be an easy win, especially since civil courts do not operate “beyond a reasonable doubt” but instead have a much lower burden of proof.

please reblog for reach!

A question most people successfully avoid asking: can institutionalized patients ever have sex? The answer is ‘mostly no, unless they are very good at sneaking past nurses’. They also can’t kiss, hold hands, cuddle, or have any other form of romantic contact.

I worked in a mental hospital where two patients snuck past nurses and had sex once. It was treated as a public health crisis of approximately the same urgency as somebody throwing a bucket of Ebola-laced chimp blood all over the dining room. Both patients lost all their privileges, earned themselves 24-7 supervision by nurses, got restricted to their rooms, and had to go through a battery of tests for every STD in the book. We the doctors got remedial training with helpful tips like “If two patients seem to like each other too much, put them on opposite sides of the unit so they’re never in contact.”
-SSC

This is true of other emotional connections too, by the way. You are heavily discouraged from making friends with other patients on the basis that you “may enable each other’s mental illnesses.” When I was hospitalized we were forbidden from trading contact information. Every conversation we had was heavily surveiled by staff so we didn’t really get to talk about personal topics or build genuine friendship because anything emotional could be seen as a risk and would get us punished.

It really is that bad.

One of the doctors when I was institutionalized was actually very caring and concerned about the patients she worked with. She would actually listen to us and as a result everyone she worked with ended up liking her a lot.

We weren’t allowed to give anyone as much as a handshake. Even if we had family visiting us, if a doctor or nurse came in during that time, and found as much as me (a teenager) hugging my sister, it got treated like I was holding her at gunpoint as a hostage in a bank robbery. My visitation was revoked, I was placed in solitary for a few days I can’t really remember well, and still got set with 24/7 constant monitoring even in the bathroom for a while afterwards.

This nurse was kind enough to just awkwardly and visibly turn away during this time. She always chose this because everyone was Infinitely more comfortable with her showing us she wasn’t watching than the people who would watch us like a hawk and would report if we tried to cover our chests or crotch.

She’d also recognize when someone with an eating disorder just actually couldn’t eat what was expected of us to eat. And she would have snacks and other things for us to eat instead, and wouldn’t punish us if we couldn’t finish our plate.

She got fired. She was accused of being a child predator because the small kids and the teenagers liked the one person who treated them like a human being. There was a criminal investigation that literally led to nowhere because SHE didn’t commit any crime. She was still barred from entering the profession ever again and had to fight to keep it off her permanent records.

The exact thing that got her pushed over the edge? A kid asked for her specifically after they had a bad panic attack

We weren’t allowed to keep in contact with anyone. we weren’t allowed to make friends. If we were too friendly we’d be taken away from each other, but anyone hostile was allowed to remain together. You’d be woken up at 6 am sharp by a nurse checking your vitals and you’d be expected to stay awake and active for 16 hours a day, through anything else going on. Going to your room was a privilege before nighttime. Going to the bathroom was a privilege. Choosing between eating lunch or drinking water was a privilege. Getting to fucking do homework was a privilege. They didn’t teach you anything for once you’d actually get out because they don’t expect you to be well enough for Out Patient.

In one of the acute units I went to, there was someone who wasn’t allowed to have a bedroom. They pulled a mattress out of a room (“room” since we could never close the doors, so they were more like two bed alcoves) and put it in the communal area where we were required to be (unless we were required to be somewhere else). This girl didn’t even have the privacy of a semi-enclosed room. All of the bathrooms were attached to the bedrooms and all of us had to ask to use the bathroom unless it was nighttime (because we locked out of our bedrooms until it was time to sleep). This girl didn’t have a room, so she had to ask the staff to use the bathroom and the staff would have her use someone else’s. She didn’t have anywhere to put any of her belongings. She wasn’t allowed to socialize with us; if we were in the communal area, she had to be sitting on her mattress.

Why? Because she had screaming nightmares and that meant she was “too dangerous” to ever be unmonitored, but they didn’t have the staff to watch her specifically, so she always had to be where the one staff watching all of us (about 20 kids) could see her. She was considered too much of a flight risk to go to the cafeteria or to any of the activities (one hour in a prison-like outside area and one hour in an art class). Some of us tried to talk to her just to introduce ourselves and the staff threatened to take away our privileges.

The privileges in question? Doing our laundry, visitation, not being in solitary, attending the one movie night per week, showering alone and “only” being checked on every 5 min, going outside, and being allowed to draw (the only thing to do outside of the two hours of activities).

I went to three different mental hospitals. In all of the ones I went to, these things were privileges. There was only one that allowed us to drink any water outside of meals or taking meds; they had a mandatory PE and we were given one cup of water after exercising and you only had a minute or two to drink it before they took it away. That was it.

In my second mental hospital, I got along too well with my roommate so they made us switch rooms to be roommates with people we didn’t get along with. We were specifically told the reason was because we were too friendly. There was another patient who had been dating someone since before she went to the mental hospital, and the person she was dating got admitted to a different ward while she was there. The nurses, therapists, and psychologists told her she would not be discharged unless she broke up with him.

In a mental hospital, you do not have any rights. You only have privileges and you only have them if they have the staff and inclination to give them to you.

reply to this post with whatever links you have to help convince someone important to me that Discord really is conspiring with Palantir and the NSA to further immerse us all into a cutting-edge passive mass surveillance panopticon. i know it’s true but i don’t have all the articles at hand. high-quality sources strongly preferred, this person i wanna convince is someone whose mind changes in response to scholarly precision & clarity

All my haters retroactively cease to exist when I sit in the time machine of success

Not sure why I made this post. I don’t have any haters.

The bathroom golfers deserve

discord is so cringe lol

oh wait cringe is good… actually ummm

discord is so capitalist

they should make “i was brave at the dentist” stickers but for trans women going to the grocery store and it would say “i was transgender at the grocery store” and it would have a picture of shadow the hedgehog in a lolita dress holding a gun

out of all my posts to blow the fuck up i’m genuinely glad that it is this one and not a less funny one. spreading joy to the world via pie. reblog to be creampied instantly

profit and lace is a bad episode but I will say that quark getting a free healthcare starfleet sex change operation just for nefarious purposes has really funny implications all around. i like to believe that bashir does these all day

If I told you honestly, the fed’s would get me

Lots of cities have local anti-war committees, and if yours doesn’t then starting one isn’t as hard as it may seem! The Anti-War Action Network is doing great work coordinating between Grassroots anti-war groups, and helping new ones get established. Most groups in the network don’t just hold general rallies, but are organizing prolonged campaigns against local arms manufacturers or pro-war politicians

This kind of work may feel overly tame next to the kinds of action that we don’t want feds to hear us talking about, but it’s absolutely vital for building an anti-war movement with broad, mass support. A public-facing and accessible anti-war committee helps to gather forces in the early period of struggle (you are here), and then serves as a bridge between the masses and the deeper layers of struggle as the situation progresses

“how do you deal with the hard problem of consciousness” well it doesnt exist so jot that down.

seriously, i simply cant not reject the assertion that it is a “hard problem” because thats stupid as fuck. I think a lot of laypeople entertain it because they dont know what is meant by Hard Problem. “consciousness isnt physical because it isn’t. dont even try to argue because i just said its not possible to argue”

unfortunately once you start noticing the tendency of some sci-fi to flatten every character into ‘ambiguously atheist’, the implication that the only future is one where no one has any religious beliefs is going to piss you off for the rest of time

it does get worse when you notice that religious characters tend to show up only to portrayed as “backwards”, or stupid/ridiculous for believing in it when surrounded by future tech, or to be corrected into being Good Future Atheists.

hard to decide what’s better about this post: the fact that it is just straightforwarldly not true at all, or the fact that the it/they “proship” fanfiction blogger is offended by atheism.

there’s a lot of reasons why we should all want a socialist revolution, especially now, but one of my own selfish reasons is because it’s probably my most realistic path to getting bottom surgery

Okay, we got a new one, boys.
