holy shit!!!!! a paper on autistic burnout!!!!! among other things demonstrating that it's a real phenomenon and not the same as depression or job burnout
kink, consent
Try to confirm consent two different ways with new partners or new acts.
Try to make it easy for your partners to say no to you.
Try to make it clear to your partners what a yes looks like to you.
Try to identify ways your partner may feel pressured or coerced and check in about them.
When something makes you feel uncomfortable or you want to stop, say so as clearly as possible.
Don't try to get consent through some sort of loophole or trick.

FUN FACT: you can post your #MutualAid requests in the #Mastodon4Harris hashtag (they moved, note the number 4 isntead of "for") to make sure they'll be seen by people who, apparently, have ludicrous oodles of money to burn. also it's praxis

Gender Euphoria Funpost, +, fire mention, combat mention
We are gender defiant.
My gender is demand avoidance, screw everyone who ever tried to gender us or who or what we are or what we do unless we do it for euphoria.
Euphoria is the act of defeating imposed or internalized gender in combat and warming our bodies in the flames of annihilation.
Here’s what parenting can look like.
When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).
Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”
You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.
#Nonbinary folks don't owe you a particular presentation of self.
1. Androgyny is cool but not for everyone.
2. Nonbinary is not code for "weak, like woman".
3. It's okay--perhaps even good!--if you can't divine someone's gender presentation from their appearance. We have language for that.
Happy nonbinary day!
“HRT let me be present in my body and present at school. I started to make friends. I learned to play D&D!” (cheers and laughter from the crowd)
“People in power want us to feel helpless but we are so much stronger than they are and so much braver than they ever could be”
“This is what the TERFs and the Tories are afraid of. Testosterone gel. Smells like hand sanitiser and it dries clear”

mildly self-deprecating

"Ah, what a wonderful day to put on my extra warm comfy socks, now i just need to go downstairs to get some tea-AAAAAAAH"
"To create something as a trans woman is to extend oneself beyond the carnal. As our ideas of gender shift, the creativity of trans women is making this change known and felt. As cis people at large begin to feel this shift, they are already reacting to us. We are being kept out of bathrooms, shelters, and history. A trans woman defending herself through creativity is a way to ensure the cisgender gaze no longer controls us."
