The Love Of My Life Died From DKA At 21. She Was Rationing To Try To Afford Us Moving In Together.

The love of my life died from DKA at 21. She was rationing to try to afford us moving in together.

We need affordable insulin for everyone. For Athena, because she fucking deserved it. For literally everyone with type 1 diabetes.

A country where a 21 year old can die from something so fucking preventable is a broken country and we deserve better.

It kinda bothers me when people are confronted for really negative and harmful behavior and their only response is, "well I have this disorder, so I'm the victim, everyone else I hurt is just ableist" and it's like....

You're not incapable of being responsible for your own actions just because you're neurodivergent.

There's no diagnosis that excuses being a horrible person to people who didn't do anything to you.

If you're old enough to gaslight people in media or online by going "I'm allowed to be mean/hurtful because I have this disorder", you're old enough to seek out help for your behaviors.

Some statistics show that up to 60% of people are neurodivergent or mentally ill in some way. Most of those people don't act like an asshole and then go, "oh it's not my fault because of this diagnosis." They take responsibility for their actions.

This is kinda directed at something vaguely political (I love election season!) but also just generally as someone who's kinda sick of hearing "it's not my fault, I'm bipolar!" When I also have bipolar disorder, or "it's not my fault, I'm autistic!" When I'm also autistic, or "it's not my fault, I have a traumagenic disorder!" When I also have a traumagenic disorder....

Idk being mentally ill doesn't excuse being a dick to people.

why are some terfs so weird when it comes to trans men

"youre just some autistic girl thats been tainted by the patriarchy 🥺" how about you stop saying ableist shit and maybe work on your savior complex while youre at it

Vriska did NOTHING wrong!

She's a product of her environment. She doesn't know better.

Same with Gamzee he's literally mentally ill and addicted to substances.

There. I have settled it. There can be peace in the streets.

Trans-inclusive gender-neutral anatomy talk is funny because it makes the human body sound so casual and recreational. "If you happen to have a dick" like one would happen to have a bag of golf clubs somewhere around here. Like you have one of those for hobby purposes or something. Got an uterus because it came with the house and you haven't gotten around to hiring a professional to get that removed.
