Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't left tumblr, I'm just on hiatus.

Hello everyone! This is a survey brought to you by Self Advocates United as 1. They're a nonprofit organization I'm involved with whose mission is to inform and empower people with autism and/or intellectual disabilities (id). We encourage everyone, not just people with disabilities to come check us out at sau1.org.

I'm sorry for the sales pitch, I try not to do that sort of thing here, but the truth is, we haven't had a lot of attendance to our events, due to a lack of people knowing about us. We do only operate in Pennsylvania, but our information is good for anyone! As a nonprofit, we depend on government funding, but our funders won't give us money if we don't have the attendance. In short, my job could very possibly be on the line.

Since I know so many of you have autism, I would really appreciate you filling out this survey or even just sharing it. If you know someone who could benefit from us (or even organizations like us!) please direct them to our website.

Thanks for your time!

TL;DR: please fill out this survey, my job depends on it

~Tag Nine People You Want To Get To Know Better~

i was tagged by @rouge-the-bat thanks for taggin me :3!!

Three Ships

They’re all going to be from Yu Yu Hakusho, fair warning. Yusuke/Kurama/Hiei, Hiei/Touya, and Youko/Kuronue

First Ever Ship

I’m honestly not sure. I can’t remember when I started shipping, or even what fandom it was for. I’ll say my otp was Yullen in D.Gray-man.

Last Song

Sick Like Me by In This Moment (I’m listening to the songs Rouge posted in another get to know me thing because I’m always looking for new music)

Currently Reading

Well, I’ve been struggling to read, so I have two books started that I go back and forth on depending my mood. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Dear Green Isle by Annabel Murray

Currently Watching

Ghosts, Skinwalker Ranch, and rewatching Yu Yu Hakuso for like the fifth time

Currently Consuming

Sadness. It can’t consume me if I’m consuming it!

Craving

Attention :p

Again with the tagging... *points to nine people in the vague crowd of tumblr*

was tagged by @rouge-the-bat​, thanks for taggin me :3

Rules: List your top 5 favorite shows and tag 5 people!

In no particular order...

1. Yu Yu Hakusho

While I came into this anime late, I would say it has changed my life. There’s so much to it that is absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend it enough!

2. Princess Tutu

This show was a trip and a half. I first found out about it from a really cool amv that was shown at a convention. It’s weird in the most wonderful way and you should totally check it out.

3. Fairy Tail

Unfortunately, I never was able to finish watching, but I intend to. This anime was honestly such an inspiration to me in a dark point of my life.

4. Ouran High School Host Club

Like with all the other shows I’ve listed, there’s simply too many good things to say about this one. Honestly, I found it very gender affirming before I even knew that I was genderfluid.

I could keep listing anime forever, so the fifth one is just a regular show

5. Ghosts

This show is so much fun. That’s really all I’m going to say about it.

Some honorable mentions: Black Cat, The Vision of Escaflowne, Trigun, Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Lucifer, Avatar: The Last Airbender

Clearly I am bad at counting and making decisions.

If you don’t know how I tag people by now, go home.

I was tagged by @rouge-the-bat! Thank you for the tag!

nickname: [not including nicknames based on my irl name for obvious reasons] Sinnel is my typical alias, though I’ve also gone by Rani and Lyember

sign: Aquarius (western), Dog (Chinese), Cat (Irish) :p

height: 5′4″

last thing i googled: history channel (I wasn’t sure of the web address)

amount of sleep: don’t even talk to me about sleep

dream job: Nothing! That’s right, I don’t want to work for a living! I would much rather spend my time gardening and living that cottagecore life

wearing: a “to write love on her arms” tank and primrose colored shorts. It’s hot :(

media that summarizes me: This is so vague. I’m going to go with the ones I would recommend to people to understand me better. Movies: Mirrormask and Spirited Away. Songs: Her Name is Alice by Shinedown, Winter Born by The Cruxshadows, Born at the Wrong Time by Abney Park, The Story that Never Starts by Abney Park, Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, really too many to remember... Books: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

favourite songs: Winter Born by The Cruxshadows, Out of the Darkness by Abney Park, Monsters by All Time Low, What I’ve Done by Linkin Park, Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, Shallow Grave by The Birthday Massacre, Helios by The Cruxshadows, Singularities by The Cruxshadows, Icarus by Bastille, and so many more

instruments: My top three faves are piano, violin, and cello, though I have a special place in my heart for the hurdygurdy. I played clarinet for two years in school, piano for about five years before I had to stop due to living circumstances, and have messed around with the ocarina.

aesthetic: Everything, lol. No, but seriously, it’s like the song The Traveler’s Curse by Abney Park. Essentially there’s so many different things that feel right, I couldn’t even begin to list them all. It would be easier to tell you what isn’t my aesthetic.

favourite author: Melissa Marr and J.R. Ward

random fun fact: I’m actually a goblin masquerading as a human. You can tell by the boxes of rusted metal, broken glass, and animal bones I have.

some mutuals to tag: As always, anyone who wants to.

Hey, Pennsylvania! People with disabilities, Allies, Advocates, and Self Advocates - We need you to Speak Up!

Did you know that the supports and services for people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism are in danger of losing funding? $170 Million was removed from the draft budget. WE NEED FUNDING so people have the support they need to be part of their communities. WE NEED FUNDING so family members won’t have to quit their jobs to support their loved one. WE NEED FUNDING so people with disabilities can get or keep a job and become taxpayers themselves. WE NEED FUNDING for the thousands of people who are waiting for services. Are these things important to you? They are to us! We all need to use our right to speak up with our government! And we need to do it right away! How should you speak up? Call Governor Shapiro’s office at 717-787-2500 or go to https://www.governor.pa.gov/contact/ and fill out the contact form. Ask your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, everyone you know to call. Here’s an idea of what you might say: Hi, my name is (tell them your name). (you may also tell them, if you want, if you are a person with disabilities, a family member or caregiver, a friend, or someone else) I learned from Self Advocates United as 1 that there may be a lot of money removed from the ID-community Waiver budget. We have a right to funding so people have the support they need to be part of their communities. We have a right to funding so family members won’t have to quit their jobs to support their loved one. We have a right to funding so people with disabilities can get or keep a job and become taxpayers themselves. We have a right to funding for the thousands of people who are waiting for services. Please put back the 170 million dollars in the Intellectual Disabilities-Community Waiver line.

Thank you!
