the five homoerotic love languages:

- intimate stabbing

- outright obsession

- confused pining

- "no one knows me like you do"

- lifelong promises that always sound suspiciously like wedding vows

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

A stick figure, doubled over on all fours so its face isnt visible. Tears stream from its face, and its head and the floor below it are covered in blood.

You might think that I'm joking when I say that we need cyborg rights to be codified into law, but I honestly think that, given the pace of development of medical implants and the rights issues raised by having proprietary technologies becoming part of a human body, I think that this is absolutely essential for bodily autonomy, disability rights, and human rights more generally. This has already become an issue, and it will only become a larger issue moving forwards.

No but seriously we need cyborg rights, in case you don't know how many people count as cyborgs here are some examples;

  • People with cochlear implants are cyborgs
  • People with pacemakers are cyborgs
  • People with insulin pumps are cyborgs

There are even edge cases revolving around how much electricity and integration into the body are necessary to make someone a cyborg.

  • People with replacement hips or other bones are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with implanted medical devices such as artificial valves or stents are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with prosthetic limbs are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People with ostomy bags are by some definitions cyborgs
  • People in wheel chairs, electric or not, are by some definitions cyborgs

The list could go on but I think I made my point that cyborgs are a lot more than just people with robot arms, they are the disabled deserving of the rights to the technology their lives literally depend on.

This is needed.

Earlier this year, a woman was forcibly deprived of a brain implant that was treating her epilepsy because the company that made the implant went bankrupt. Here's a link to one of several articles about it:

This story happened back in the 2010s according to the first article but is still relevant. Also if my cochlears were repossessed by the company for some asinine reason I would literally stop being able to do 80% of the things I do and my future would be ruined. Cyborg rights are necessary and should have been codified decades ago

There are also people with prosthetic eyes that went dark when the software company that managed them went bankrupt.

We need a set of rights that say, "if your software is installed in LIVING HUMAN BEINGS, you have a legal obligation to maintain it, and when/if your company dissolves or can no longer maintain it, that software becomes open source and may be freely picked up by other people to manage."

AND when hardware & software are necessary to maintain anything installed in a human, the FIRST bankruptcy payout must be to a trust fund to care for folks who need the hardware: 1) serviced/updated, including battery replacement 2) removed 3) to help find and cover treatment once removal is complete

This has hit my dash three times… that final reblog made it worthy.

I only liked this for the gif

You cannot call for help, you must face the gazebo alone

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Just to clarify, in case people are wondering: Tumblr allows people to automatically block posts with certain tags.

So that if there is something flashing in your post (or something that causes a flashing effect when scrolling, like the first design I came up with for the Disability Pride Flag), tagging that post with “Flashing” will allow people who do have epilepsy to block that post and not be harmed by it.

(this is also why you should never censor your tags on Tumblr, BTW. We’re not TikTok; you won’t be penalized for having certain words in your tags. But if you alter a tag that people are using to control their own dashboards, it won’t be blocked, and they’ll see something they don’t want to – or be exposed to something that could cause them serious harm).

It never ends

WHILE ACTIVELY WRITING the next chapter of my WIP, I opened a new document and started a different one. I need somebody to like hold the reins and keep me on one story at a time

You know, I'm starting to wonder if we as writers are shooting ourselves in the feet by insisting we stick to one WIP at a time.

So if you're feeling guilty about starting a new project spontaneously, but the passion is there:

I hereby give you permission to go absolutely wild. Open several documents and several tabs and see where it takes you. Writing something, anything, can't be a waste of time. And anyway, unhinged writing is arguably the best way to write, so go feral.

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

So great news actually the horny oil painter style is starting to make a comeback with millennials who’re into adult romance novels, but not in the way you expect!

Anna Moshak is the artist!

Once again monsterfuckers are creating the bright path for humanity
