I agree like how can you expect that of others and not give it in return? It seems really unfair. If someone does something nice for you, it's nice to help them out back. Of course there is a line and that line is different for everyone and should not be crossed but damn, not everything is going to be for your comfort.
the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
I write all of my posts in plain text anyway but this is very very important!!
I am not asking anymore. I am demanding.
Put plain text on your posts.
You're limiting who can view your posts.
Plain text is needed for:
1. Those who are affected by eyestrain and are visually impaired. Colored text, fancy fonts, they all make these harder for people to read,
and
2. Those who use screenreaders. Fancy symbols, especially ones from other languages, and tyoing quirks fuck screenreaders up. They can change the language, start spouting weird nonsense, or just flat out break.
There are also people who straight up get overwhelmed by all of this without being affected by these problems. Me, for example, I can read all typing quirks just fine but it's still very overwhelming.
Also, big text? There are people who already have their text on their phone set to big because they can't read, and they need plain text for big text.
If you can't provide plain text, you could always
A. ask plaintextpro (or another accessibility blog) for help
B. not format your text at all
Please don't just like this, spread it around, I'm hoping at least someone will see it and start adding plain text. (Serious)

sygol framed poll (handle with care), 2024 mixed media on tumblr post
this person is correct and i hate that. you should not go into the medical field if you hate disabled people because they will be most of your patients. fuck ableist healthcare workers.
ppl will rly be like “god I hate disabled people. anyways I can’t wait to get my medical degree”
It's very okay to talk to me or talk at me, idc
Please.
This looks disgusting...
I totally hearted this just because I can.

Yeah I agree, if you don't like/agree with something, you don't have to look at it, nobody is forcing you to.
How to handle seeing things you don't like on ao3:
Have you come across something too disturbing for you to handle on ao3? Like maybe somebody having sex in a position that isnt missionary? 😱 shocking, I know. Did someone maybe engage in mild bdsm? The absolute horror! Did two aged up characters do more than a kiss on the cheek??? The utter depravity. Well do I have a solution for you! It's an easy two step process. Step one is to find the back button. If you find yourself in a mildly uncomfortable position while reading a fanfic, you have the power to stop ❌ press the back button 🔙 and find a new fic that doesnt have such scary concepts 🔞. If you arent sure how to find it, here's what the back button looks like on my mobile browser:
It may be difficult for you to find, but I believe in you!
Step 2 is a little harder because I know you're nosy and think you know what's best for every person on the planet. But I still believe in you! You can do it! You can learn to mind your own damn business and walk away! If you see something you don't like, it's literally not your problem. Let me give you a personal example: there are people out there who still like the show breaking bad, which I found completely unwatchable. But you know what? It's none of my damn business, it's literally not my problem! I have learned that not every piece if media is made for every person, and that's not only ok, but a good thing! You too can learn to mind your own damn business and move on with your life. I promise it's not as hard as it sounds
good morning, lgbtq is officially banned in russia. today russian supreme court announced that “LGBT movement” is “extremist”. it means extreme risks and criminal persecution.
please find a moment to sign this petition to german bundestag to allow trans people from russia to seek asylum in germany faster and easier. you can sign from anywhere, regardless of citizenship.
(sorry for the preview, i ban cookies aggressively)
hate terfs
love trans ppl <3
URGENT!! Help me survive before and after a kidney transplant
Hi. I’m Jay, and I’m a black, disabled non-binary lesbian and my best friend, who is my caregiver, is a white Latina woman.
On May 28, I go in for a kidney transplant due to chronic kidney disease and being on dialysis wouldn’t sustain me anymore. I currently have bed sores due to being completely bedbound from an infection. My whole care team is saying I need a hospital bed with a medical grade mattress that relieves pressure sores. The thing is we don’t exactly have $4.5k laying around and we need it fairly quickly as my bed sores are worsening by the day and they are worried about infection of the sores and then sepsis (a blood infection that you can die from).
My best friend is selling merchandise of her cat and this is the quickest way for us to make the money as Paypal limited both our accounts for asking for donations. The influx of money raised red flags, I guess, which is fair. The notebooks are $9 + shipping, but we have lots of different merchandise. I just love it all. Here’s the link to the notebook. The store name is www.troublethecat.ca if you rather just look at the whole catalog.
Thank you so much
