I’m so fucking sick of diabetes jokes. They’re everywhere, like people somehow think it’s ok to make fun of a disease like that.
“that’s got so much sugar, it’ll give you diabetes!”
first of all THATS NOT HOW ANY TYPE OF DIABETES WORKS.
Second of all, even if it was, and people ‘gave diabetes to themselves’, it’s just not funny! Who gave you the right to make fun of a literal disabled person just because you think they deserve it because they ‘brought this onto themselves’? that’s fucked up! All types of diabetes have a genetic component, and specifically for type 2 diabetes, you don’t know that person’s circumstances. Recent studies are showing links between type 2 diabetes and poverty, as sugary overprocessed food like fast food is cheaper and sometimes more accessible. And once again, there’s still a genetic component.
‘that’ll give you diabetes’ jokes are just not funny. They’re insensitive, and as a type 1 they’re just a constant reminder that I have a disease that is heavily misunderstood and weighs on me every day. I’ve heard like 10 in the past week and just now heard another one and it was the last fucking straw. DON’T MAKE THEM.
This is 100000% ok for non diabetics to reblog I would appreciate that very much
a bunch of doodles of some of my warriors oc for a private fanclans setting ive been on and off working on :) the clans are sunclan, juniperclan, tideclan, and stoneclan. everything else is a huge wip lol but i love these guys !
“we can criticize plastic surgery and unnecessary cosmetic surgery while still supporting trans people” -> fearmongering about phalloplasty (and trans bottom surgery in general) within 2 reblogs. cool, neat
love condescending to trans people pursuing bottom surgery “you only want bottom surgery because of society” as if they’re clueless about the transphobic social pressures they live under. golly, it just never occurred to them that there are transphobic pressures to have a particular configuration of genitals depending on one’s gender. it also apparently never occurred to the people saying this condescending shit that there’s even greater social pressure to not transition and not have a gender differing from one’s birth assignment in the first place
(btw if you label trans people demanding access to transition-related healthcare as Choice Feminism you are a piece of shit not significantly different from the conservatives and fascists cutting off that access on the grounds of Ending Mutilation Of Natural Bodies)
I went to the Ib exhibition!!! Here’s some pictures!!!! I couldn’t include everything because tumblr only allows 10 images on mobile only which is a bummer
It was really cool!! Some of the paintings actually moved, and there was a section where we were given VR headsets and got to experience the doll room scene with Garry and the key which was very neat!! Also Garry’s acrylic stand at the gift shop was totally sold out LOL
Genuinely fucked that cultural perception of aging is getting warped to the point where people in their twenties are considered old at the same time that all the constructed milestones of independence and self sufficiency that have become expected of adulthood are getting further out of reach for the majority of people. Like, no, you haven’t missed out on anything, no one has “wasted” their 20s, or 30s, or any stretch of time, it’s just that a lot of things really fucking suck right now. There isn’t anything important you can do at, say, age 21 that you can’t also do every other age after that.
