“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week

people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know

I called the pharmacy about why they haven't filled my t prescription and they literally told me they needed to check on something and then put me on hold and then hung up on me

this is structural transandrophobia btw. this shit wouldn't happen if T weren't a controlled substance. they never do this with my synthroid.

this was in the tags but you know what. the concept of controlled substances is deeply evil and this is your daily reminder. imagine a doctor writing up an official document saying "my patient needs this drug to live and be healthy" and the govt saying "hmmm... but that's a Drug... a Bad Drug......... the patient is probably a junkie, make sure it's as hard as possible for them to get that shit. make sure their meds are regularly interrupted, especially during difficult times in their life like when they lose their job and thus their insurance. make sure they're not Abusing the drug by having easy access to it whenever they need it, make sure their doctor and the pharmacy need to jump through a billion hoops also, things the patient has no real control over and no power to fix if they go wrong."

like imagine thinking that's reasonable

a prescription should be a shopping list your doctor writes for you and then you go to the pharmacy and go "give me this please" and they do. you should be able to just buy drugs. I literally do not care if people abuse that system btw. I should be able to freely access any chemical that I need to put into my body. that should be as accessible to me as food and water. if I am allowed to buy booze and cigarettes why can I not buy my T gel. because some punk in the gym is getting too jacked?? I DON'T CARE

my needs extend into the world. the apparatus that keeps me alive does not end at my skin, is not encompassed only by "my body," but contains the world. just like food and water should be a human right, so should medication. the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals need to be collectivized and their products need to be freely available to all. the War on Drugs is a war on our existence as biochemical beings.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Im of the full (possibly delusional) belief that Durge is not the species that they physically appear to be.

You’re telling me this being crafted from nothing but bhaal’s flesh and his blood - this demigod - is actually a dragonborn/tiefling/human/elf/etc.

No. This thing is bhaal’s flesh and it just happens to look like that. They’re an imitation of a species, they’re not truly a (full)mortal being, they have no heritage aside from bhaal.

As a result I’m sure there’s some…oddities.

For example, a demigod child, not fully mortal. I doubt they adhere to the lifespan of whatever species they look like. Looking younger than they should. (less so perhaps with long lived races like elfs and half-elves where that is par for the course).

A dragonborn durge that by all accounts looks like a blue dragonborn but their breathweapon is acid. A tiefling durge that seems to be a Mephistopheles tiefling but they cannot cast mage hand, instead smiting like a zariel bloodline tiefling.

An elf or tiefling durge that doesn’t read as fey or infernal trough identification spells. Because they aren’t either of those things. Perhaps they could read as divine but not quite.

Members of a race that durge is supposed to be looking at them and sometimes when making eye contact they read as wrong. And some kind of uncanny effect triggers in their brain.

Give me more freaky durge who isn’t really what they appear to be at all. Just a little murder demigod crafted from dead god flesh to be the shape of something else.
