Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.
If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.
In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)
Not the asshole, that mama was out of line.
I’m sorry. I just. I just love farting stepdad so much 😭 Like use what you have available to you.

Pls reblog if u vote :)

Okay but can we talk about Clovis? Everyone always talks about what was wrong with other characters or like Hazel and Piper’s eyes or how Nico was outed, and yes, we should absolutely talk about those things, but no ones ever mentioned this? I’m always really upset about how his character was distilled down to “hahaha he sleeps a lot” and how it was used basically as a humorous thing.
Basically, Clovis was a character whose entire personality was a his disability, and it’s entire use was a bit of expose and comic relief.
I have chronic fatigue, and there is NOTHING funny about it. Not just in a “don’t make fun of disabilities way”, but also in a “it is just such a shitty way to live and if you don’t know what’s happening yet it’s terrifying”
When I was in sophomore year of high school, I developed hahsimoto’s, my endocrinologist, one of the top in the country, said I had “one of the worst cases she had ever seen”, for reference on the severity. I would wake up and go to school, often oversleeping and not getting to school until 10 or 11, sleep through the ride over, go to class, sleep through a lot of those, sleep through lunch, get home, immediately go to bed and often sleep through dinner and until the next morning. I could not stay awake. and I felt the fatigue through my whole body. Doing even the simplest tasks like walking ten feet or microwaving food exhausted me, and my thoughts were cloudy and forming comprehensive sentences was incredibly difficult. I had no idea what was going on at the time, and I was terrified.
I got diagnosed and put on synthroid, so it’s not so bad, but I also have EDS other issues, so chronic fatigue will always be a part of my life. It’s not nearly so bad anymore, but it’s still an obstacle I face everyday and is incredibly difficult, especially as part of an “invisible disability”, and having Rick Riordan use that as a joke is just really annoying.
Also, can you imagine what it would have been like for him as a child? To have such incredibly sever chronic fatigue, it would have made it near impossible for him to do basically /anything/ as a child, and he probably had a ton of trouble in school - if he even made it to school.
The biggest thing, though, is that he would have no idea why this was happening. He probably would have been shuttled from doctor to doctor, given test after test after test, none of them yielding any results. No one would know what was causing it, because it wasn’t due to anything medical, it was because of his dad. Can you imagine how hard that would have been?
Chronic illness isn’t a joke.
dismantle the idea that you should love your body because "it works". bodies that don't work deserve love too. disabled and chronically ill bodies are just as deserving of love as abled bodies.

Favorite pride memory?
Ok so as I’ve said before, I’ve never been to a pride parade or protest because I’m not exactly allowed to go, but I do quietly celebrate pride.
Last year, I was inspired by a video I saw to make a cactus sweater! Y’know cause ace/aro cactus! So that’s probably my favorite pride memory
onion not even doing satire at this point
I love all things frog, mushroom, rainbow high… I have Ehlers danlos syndrome and use both a rollator and a cane. Enby that is bad at making friends but likes to have them. I adore many cartoons but haven’t seen even more.
