"UM OP DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT THIS INNOCUOUS VIDEO/IMAGE/POST IS ACTUALLY FETISH CONTENT"

[Image description: a social media post from user "Jennifer Adcock, RPG Designer" (@JenKatWrites) reading: You know who doesn't get imposter syndrom? Cats. Not only does every cat know they're a cat, I think every cat believes firmly, with conviction, that they are the best possible cat, the prime example of a cat, the most cat a cat could be. End image description.]

Yes, this is true. All cats are the best cat. Every single one. And I love that they know it. I love that they love themselves so much, it is the actual best thing.

[Video description: an overhead shot of a reddish-brown millipede walking. It is dawn or sunset and the daylight hits the millipede at a low angle and projects a relatively long shadow, for such a small creature. The millipede's legs are not visible from above but from the shadow we can see that the millipede isn't merely walking, but prancing and skipping. Its movement has an up-and-down, playful quality; it's not hurrying but it's moving with a distinct pizzazz and panache. Video is captioned Shadow of a millipede walking. /End video description.]

Thinking about the way that Eddie makes her move aside instead of just going around her

Eddie my beloved, you fucking twerp, I would die for you

I'm fully nude.

Mmm. Yeah, I am very aware.

We're curing HIV.

I ... I don't have words for how much that hits me like a blow to the sternum, every single time.

Every single time.

I never thought we'd be here, but here we are.

[Image description: a wheelchair made from lumber, screws, front caster wheels, big rear wheelchair wheels, a thin firm-looking seat cushion, duct tape, and a few other hardware odds and ends. The chair appears handmade with a solid but DIY vibe, and many of the parts look like they could have come from a neighborhood hardware store.]

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

[Image description: gifs from The Old Guard. Charlize Theron's character is wounded and a drugstore employee is bandaging her up. Theron's character says, "You haven't asked." The other character replies, "Your business is yours. You need help, what does it matter why? Today, I put this on your wound. Tomorrow, you help someone up when they fall. We're not meant to be alone." End image description.]

This post is about transitioning and dancing and sex, but it's also about everyone whether or not you do those things. Please keep doing the next risky scary thing, the thing that makes you more alive and more in your body and moves you closer to what you love.

You have to keep transitioning until you discover that you actually do love dancing and sex. Please.

I am LOSING MY MIND with excitement.
