Me: Crying At The Beautiful Story Of A Father And Daughter That Echoes My Own Feelings.

I don’t understand what I just watched. I just know it was fucking awesome

tumblr is the abyss and I really need it to not stare back

I’ve sustained a massive workplace injury (paper cut)

A thing we could do better this Pride month: In quick summaries of queer histories, do not toss in a throw away line about how “lesbians took care of gay men dying of aids”.

Lesbians were also getting hiv/aids and dying from it and taking care of themselves and their community.

Women faced extra challenges when they got sick, because the CDC ignored symptoms seen mostly in women in their aids definition and locked women with aids out of lifesaving disability benefits. Trans women faced additional challenges on top of that and fought additional battles to get access to health care and disability benefits.

Lesbians were central to ACT UP, planning and participating in many daring direct actions in the fight for hiv/aids health care, and they brought with them years of experience from feminist activism around health care. Lesbians were on the front line in EVERY SINGLE big action around hiv/aids health care.

Lesbian hiv/aids history should not be reduced to nursing gay men. I love every lesbian that did that, nursing matters so much and they are all heroes. But this can not be the only story we tell. Lesbians are not supportive characters in gay men’s history. 

I have a concussion now and am having an extremely difficult time resting. All I can think about is how Riz’s greatest fear is sleeping on the job. I’m scared that if I don’t rest enough now, I’ll have brain damage but resting is so hard

Your work with said coffee company and tuberculosis is one of the reasons I care so much about reducing healthcare barriers and am becoming a physician! Can’t think of a better reason to abandon YA novels

Imagining trying to explain to my 12-year-old self that John Green is your favorite non-fiction author and Hank Green is your favorite fiction author

Kristen “-3 dex score, zone of truth, flying with a dance ribbon, oatmeal eating, table jumping, punching god in the face and replacing him with buzz feed” Applebees is going to try to be less chaotic? Interesting

There’s this club at my school that are trying to do an event for autism awareness month, but they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. Naturally, I had to get involved. I couldn’t just be like “not my monkeys. Not my circus,” cause it is my circus and they’re breaking all my shit. Now, they keep asking me about every single thing. On one hand, I’m happy that they’re taking my input seriously. On the other, it’s not my job to educate you. There’s so many autistic creators; go find them and leave me alone.

Now I’ve been roped into doing a discussion panel for my whole school. I’m happy to be able to educate people, but also I feel like it’s not fair that I have to. I’m frustrated that even people with good intentions do harm.

Can’t wait for the most chaotic cast members to be placed in a room together with the most unhinged Brennan there has ever been to make an extremely improvised season of D20. Definitely nothing weird is gonna happen

People keep calling me “type A.”

Yeah. A for autism
