There Is No Saving Me. Let Me Get Manipulated.

just an FYI for trans people in the US right now

[id: reddit post by user spaghettishoestrings titled "(UPDATE) Just lost my healthcare !" with the flair "Celebratory."

Post reads:

Original post is viewable through my profile. Apologies, since I’m on mobile, I couldn’t hyperlink. The TLDR: my doctor called me on Monday and informed me that their practice would no longer be providing treatment for gender affirming care as a result of a recent presidential Executive Order, even though the EO was for people under 19. Even though I’m 25.

Also, because it was asked a few times, this happened in Michigan, and I’ve been on HRT for 5+ years. It’s a practice that includes like 15+ physicians, and I think that the decision was made over my PCP’s head, given that she once told me that she literally moved states to be able to provide gender affirming care here.

First off, genuinely, thank you so much for all the replies and messages. I genuinely felt frozen after that phone call and didn’t know where to start, and you all really helped me get my feet off the ground.

A couple people mentioned contacting the ACLU, which, truthfully, I thought, “there’s no way that the ACLU will get back to me” but I sent a message anyway. They actually called me a few hours after my post and we talked about the Executive Orders and my rights. They offered to fax my provider a letter reminding them of my rights and some other legal terms. It’s crazy how a post on reddit resulted in my name being on the official ACLU letterhead.

Anyway, today my doctor’s physician assistant called me and shared that their practice is reversing their decision and they will continue to provide gender affirming care. I’m still keeping a bunch of the resources that y’all shared saved, including Planned Parenthood, Plume, and looking into a private endocrinologist.

This whole experience just reminded me how great this community is. I appreciate y’all <3"

You should contact Chase Strangio from the ACLU, I believe he is looking for reports of folks being denied their GAC due to these EOs. He's @chasestrangio on IG and Threads.

I Am Dazai Ch 4

This will take a while. I had to fix the title. Update!

That's what consuming fiction is all about. Fiction has always existed as a form of self expression and identity discovery. Even if your ideas don't align with the authors, they are still your unique ideas. Everyone has a unique idea of what the characters are like. Even when it doesn't align with what the authors have in mind. I found one where someone head cannoned Dazai as hypermobile because they were hypermobile themselfs and saw many of their traits in Dazai. I thought it was an interesting idea even if my idea of Dazai didn't align with theirs. I'm interested to hear about your perspective of Bungo Stray Dogs and the characters.

Just the fact that you acknowledge that your ideas are formed by what you consumed from the fandom shows a critical mind capable of self awareness. What changed now that you've started viewing them in a subjective lens? I want to know.

something that's been becoming increasingly clear to me this year is that i don't actually get bsd at all...

*wakes up* ahhh. What a beautiful morning! *opens curtains* ...I guess not. Back to bed with me then!

Faten's (@/familyfaten) got bad internet right now but asked me to post this video to introduce you all to her nieces and nephews! In just over a week, every single one of these little angels is going to be trapped in a tent again during winter.

We have about 8 days to raise $1000 (USD) to make sure that even if they're stuck living in a tent, they're going to have the warm clothes and blankets they need to endure the cold. It's a doable goal but donations have virtually stalled completely, putting the family in a dangerous situation.

Please pitch in what you can, it's unbelievably urgent

*NOK is much weaker than USD/Euro:

$5 (USD) = 56 NOK $50 (USD) = 567 NOK

$10 (USD) = 113 NOK $75 (USD) = 851 NOK

$15 (USD) = 170 NOK $100 (USD) = 1,135 NOK

$25 (USD) = 283 NOK $250 (USD) = 2,839 NOK

at time of writing: 96,240 NOK (short-term goal -> 107.6k NOK)

tagging to boost but leave a reply if you'd like off (& thanks for any rb's)

Я бросаю, докурив

К тебе падает мой взгляд и скользит, как гитарный гриф

С яблок глазных на губы, что слаще, чем Chapman Red, а

Какие на вкус мои — чуть горче, чем amaretto

From Asagiri’s “Reception of Modern Literature” lecture at Chuo University’s Hakumon Festival. It's quite interesting, so sharing it here. It's confirmed that there'll be more arcs after this one is finished!
