Hello, I am sorry for doing this but I am currently in a very shitty situation. Due to a complicated family situation I’ve ended up nearly homeless out of nowhere.

I only have a backpack full of clothes, my phone and my laptop with me. I am staying at a friend’s place for a short while but she’s also not exactly rich and can’t let me stay here forever so I’m really pretty desperate right now. 

I do have a job but don’t earn enough to pay for a rent, much less for food and other expenses. 

If you can spare some money, I have a ko-fi here and my paypal is here. You can donate any amount or commission me to write a story:

If you don’t see your fandom here you can ask, I might know of it and forgot to add it in there!

*I will not write underage sex nor beastiality (furries and monsters are fine tho!)

Salutations

Hello there!

I’ve been absent for almost two months now. This was announced previously.

What was not announced was that during that time I was considering things. Specifically, about what to do with my online time. Amongst those things, I debated whether I wanted to continue this blog or not.

Will elaborate under cut, but the tl;dr of it is that I’m leaving “earthboundricochet” behind. 

I will sometimes come check back for messages but not reliably, so if anyone would like to keep in touch I’d suggest to exchange Discord IDs or some other type of external account (I’ve put mine here under cut, will be there for limited time, then will be available via privately contacting me).

I will not be completely leaving tumblr as I intend to basically move over to my fandom account. So if anyone is interested in following that, let me know privately (as I’ve said before, I don’t want discourse following me there, nor do I want my personal views here to be discounted due to whatever fucked up shit I write/draw). The main is mixed safe/nsfw content (I try to tag properly but don’t always catch everything), then there’s a safe-only artblog and a nsfw-only artblog.

reblogging for different timezones since I came back to check on messages

the one single reason trans surgery in Italy is allowed is that it’s considered an urgent medical necessity. Otherwise it’d be considered “mutilation of healthy body parts” and be illegal.

How do I know this? Because you currently need a rather complicated legal procedure to be granted access to surgery, which involves convincing a judge that it is necessary for your mental health.

So, you know, if it were to no longer be considered a medical condition, it would be illegal.

The law isn’t always morally right.

This isn’t an issue with those who want hrt, surgery, etc to be demedicalized. It’s an issue with the laws of the country. Fight the system, not the others who are being trampled by it.

you legitimately expect an highly stigmatized group to change one of the main articles of the costitution of our country? 

We had to have a new law made specifically to be allowed to transition in the first place because you cannot change the constitution, and that already was really hard to obtain.

We only managed to be allowed to transition without being sterilized in 2015 and that’s still not consistently applied.

You still have to individually convince each judge that this is the case. And we are in 2018.

You have literally no fucking idea of what you expect trans people to do if you legitimately think us “fighting the system” will mean we will not be denied medical access. You know nothing of how things work here. You know nothing of how few rights we have. You know nothing of how hard we had to fight for them.

"This isn’t an issue with those who want hrt, surgery, etc to be demedicalized“  well of course it isn’t their issue because they aren’t going to be affected by being forbidden from transitioning. Isn’t that awfully convenient? And yet they speak over those who do.

It’s not about fighting others who are being trampled by the system, it’s about being trampled over by both the system and those who do not share our problems but still decide to talk over us and fuck things over for us because “but being labelled as sick is bad!” 

But hey I guess trying to escape the stigma of having a medical issue or a mental disorder by not wanting to be compared to disabled people is most definitely fighting the system and not throwing other people under the bus. Why argue that having a medical condition is nothing to be ashamed of and that mistreatment of people with medical issues is the problem, when you can just say “oh no I’m totally not one of those sick people, I am healthy, in fact it’s insulting to imply I could be anything like those”.

After all from what I’m seeing even in activist groups IRL, ableism is totally #woke.

The bigger the cat the more raw power stored inside

HHUOOOOUUUUUGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

THAT IS SO F€"*J&\!ING POWRFUL!!! AND HUGE!!!!

We’ve done it. We’ve located the coolest motherfucker on the planet.

this is the most accurate depiction of a cat yawn ever

The new carpet is being duly coated in kitty hairs, and Boston does his Norwegian Blue impression.

they say crossing a black cat is bad luck but if you see one.. be sure to pet it because it’s a nice animal that deserves to be loved

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.

I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”

when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people “my lord”

One time during family prayer, dad began: “our father who art in heaven, American Airlines, how can I help you?”

One time my dad went to the White Castle drive-thru and the lady (who was supposed to say ‘Welcome to White Castle, what’s your crave?’) asked, “Welcome to White Castle, what’s your problem?”

She apologized profusely while my dad proceeded to lose his shit laughing.

Yesterday I went to Wendy’s and the girl said “Welcome to McDonalds” and then just sighed

Somebody in the elevator asked me what floor I lived on, and I answered “please open your books to page eight”, and we just kind of stared at each other, blinking.

i work retail full time and my script gets frequently messy - ill ask the same question twice, or say “$2.60 is your total” while handing back their change, or say “how are you doing today?” instead of “have a good day!” like name it ive bungled it

but anyway, this lady came thru my line buying a book and the review on the front said: “few books are well written, fewer still are important, and this book manages to be both”

as i handed her the bag i was trying to say “thanks, youre all set” and instead my brain mashed up the review and i said “thanks, youre important”

there was this short pause in which i tried to figure out what the fuck id just said. she blinked and then said “oh thank you! youre important too!”

the real kicker was one of my coworkers. when i was relating this story later his response was “at least you said something NICE. last week i accidentally combined ‘youre welcome’ and ‘no problem’ into ‘youre a problem’”

one time, since I used to work as a daycare teacher with preschoolers, i was on my college campus in my gym, and someone was running in the weight room and tripped over a machine and fell, and instead of offering to help, I just stared and said, “This is why we use our walking feet.” we both sat there for a while until the guy nodded and said, “yeah, okay, i should’ve done that.”

I’ve spent a good chunk of time working in kitchens, so I still will reflexively say shit like “behind” and “coming around” as I maneuver through spaces and around people.

Which, actually, not such a bad thing; I’m a big guy and can come across as imposing pretty easily. The position calls can help defuse that, and also help avoid collisions.

Less good is the time my brain was half functional and I let slip a “coming with a knife” while grocery shopping. THAT took some explaining.

I work in an office and send tens of emails to customers every day. Once my mum asked me to send her a train ticket I had bought for her. I emailed her “Hello mum, as agreed, please find attached the ticked you requested. Thanks, Alex”

i worked as a camp counselor, and i would have the kids tap somewhere on my legs if they needed something because im a pretty tall dude. today asked my cat if he needed something.

I have woken up in a cold sweat saying “is that for here or to go?”

I was raised as a kid to answer the phone “Hello, Such and such residence. May I ask who’s calling?” I’ve had many jobs like “The Home Depot, How can I direct your call?” and more. Sometimes I’d mixed things up like “Hello, Home Depot, may I ask who’s calling?” The funniest phone mix up was when I worked at an Indonesian store called City Buddha, and I picked up the phone and said “Hello, City Booty…how can I help you?” I just played it off. I did that several times. City Booty. 

The future is now

Today a student emailed over a draft of his essay on 1984 and had clearly used a thesaurus on every single word, and how I know this is because the the party slogan ‘Big Brother is watching you’ had become ‘Enormous Sibling is viewing you’ and I lauged so hard I cried

you: big brother

me, an intellectual: enormous sibling
