Fuck everything that ever existed.
There’s nothing like falling in the snow while trying to scrape off your car, not being able to pull yourself back up, and watching everyone who drives or walks by making an effort to NOT look at you to make you feel completely helpless. I tried a couple times to get up by myself, but the tire wasn’t giving me enough leverage and the hood was too high and slippery. I ended up having...

'Overcoming' Is Not a Moral Obligation  →
incurablehippie: flutterflyinvasion: Society demands that we keep overcoming, overcoming, overcoming. But we don’t have to. Nowhere is it written that to be a really real human you have to brute force your way through your limits. Nowhere is it written that not doing so makes you less worthy. For most people, constantly refusing to acknowledge that you have limits is seen as a problem. We...

pompadoursandpincurls: Realistically, what is the worst thing that could happen? Realistically, how likely is that to happen? Realistically, is it that bad? Oh my god, yes, this, exactly. I don’t ask myself these questions often enough. Way too often I let my anxiety win until I’m at the stage of seriously freaking out before I remember that these are things I need to ask...

It's My Pleasure...: my thoughts on breast cancer →
this is an article i wrote about breast cancer awareness and exploitation. i have a lot of cancer in my family, and i understand how awful it can be. i also understand the importance of making people aware of how it forms, how to prevent it, and (most importantly) how to find it. america is a country of blissful ignorance. the chickens we eat come from a farmer wearing overalls. we don’t...

I hate everything.
Okay. This needs to be said, and unfortunately I cannot broadcast it to the entire world. I know that you only have the best of intentions when you see me. You feel the need to express to me that you aren’t like the assholes who treat disabled people like shit, you’re better then that. And if you expressed that in the way of just smiling at me in passing, or just offering a quick...

To the people who say, "Eat a dick" →
lizardwalk: Why, yes, if you insist.  Yes I will.  I will (consensually) eat big dicks and small dicks and thick dicks and thin dicks and boy dicks and girl dicks and nonbinary dicks and prosthetic dicks and if I one day miraculously become flexible enough my own dick.  I will get precome and lube and jizz in my beard, I will have the taste of dick (or latex-free condom) in the back of my...

Fuck cancer.
Hello and thank you so much to everyone who started following me after my submission to sexxxisbeautiful. So here’s the story. You guys heard about how I have osteosarcoma. I was stage III when I was diagnosed in May 2009. I had a football sized tumor in my pelvis and nodules in my lungs. You guys heard about how they had to amputate my right leg and half of my pelvis. There’s a...

Only gonna say this once
picturesinhismind: (that’s probably not true) Anti-feminist dudes who think ladies don’t listen to your arguments? They do. They have. They have heard them all already. That’s why they get annoyed at you for repeating them like you are a special snowflake and the first one evar who thought of it. Because you aren’t, and you just come across as dumb and needy. Every single dude who has never...
