Things i think should be implemented for all adults immediately:
Adult sized Playgrounds. Both outside ones and indoor padded ones
Recess
Light up shoes
Getting a little gift at the doctor's. Especially invasive uncomfortable ones like downstairs ones and the dentist (and no the gift cannot be a toothbrush).
Further info on the gifts: Plushies, little toys, fidgets and stuff you can get at finance conventions are all applicable. These cannot be gendered if my gynecologist gives me a girl power lipgloss i will start murdering people i want a plushie. (not pink!). Badges for being very brave and doing an awesome job.
Getting a little gift after you submitted your taxes or when you did some official paperwork like a patch or maybe a sticker
Dinosaur bed sheets (adult sized!!!!)
Nonfiction books with textured patches in them and little flaps to reveal secret information. Because unfortunately i already know about farm animals.
No homework (this goes for kids too it's damaging)
Books about adventures that aren't about sex or depression or violence or tax evasion but also do not the feature 11 year old protagonists as middle schooler books understandably do.
Sand boxes with sand box toys and little mills you can power with sand and no i don't mean zen gardens they're awesome but not what i need
Informed consent gender affirming care and abortions and sterilisations
Museums where you can touch everything and press buttons to make things move (and no the ones that are specifically for kids get you stared at and you are expected to let the kids go first. I have the same rights a toddler has to stare at how the different sands move from button pressing position for 15 minutes and i need a space to do so)
Cool funfacts about animals and space in the newspaper

👑Tips for littles on a budget👑
This is some tips for tinies (or carers looking for gifts for kiddos) on a budget! Of course you don't need any gear to be a good regressor but a lot of us like toys etc. and it's okay to want them!
🧸thrift stores, a lot of thrift stores have toys and plushies, sometimes they are a bit broken or dirty but there are lots of tutorials on YouTube for cleaning and restoring plushies and toys🧸
🐾e-books, you can find kids books online as e-books which are often pretty cheap or you can watch tiktoks of people reading those books🐾
🩷diy onesies, a lot of regressors like onesies but the prices are pretty steep, if you can't afford them don't fret! Its super easy and affordable to make one yourself all you need is an old t-shirt and snap buttons plus a way to attach them, just get a big t-shirt, sweatshirt or even hoodie and add 2-4 snap buttons in the crotch, boom you have a super cute and discreet onesie!🩷
🧸diy toys, there are lots of toys you can make yourself either by sewing or crafting and there's lot soft videos on YouTube for it, or get creative🧸
🐾mobile games, I love to play video games when im regressed but game consoles are expensive so free mobile games are a great alternative🐾
🩷dollar store etc, while you shouldn't rely on stores or websites that use cheap labor for everything it's okay to make exceptions every now and then, especially for toys, pacis, sippy cups and similar🩷
🧸pull ups, instead of cute printed diapers get big kid pull-ups in the baby-section or medical diapers from a drugstore, they are less then half the price of a pack of adult diapers from brands like tears etc.🧸
🐾learn to diy, making things yourself is often the most affordable thing to do, not with everything obviously but with a lot of things, learn as much stuff as you can so you can make lots of gear yourself🐾
🩷look for affordable stores, lots of paci stores on Instagram are very affordable and the ones that aren't often have sales so keep an eye out for that, lots of shops also have promoter codes they are happy for you to use, for example with my code 'bunnybab' you get a small discount at pacisbybunnie and cozypacicorner🩷
🧸buy second hand, thrift stores are a great place but if you want little specific stuff looking on vinted, swoop or even insta is a great idea! Lots of people sell gear they no longer connect with🧸

(sorry for the lighting, it's getting dark here)
A little reading for people who are single since birth. Choose a butterfly
Pile 1 - purple butterfly
(I know it looks pink, but it's light purple actually, just saying this because maybe purple is a significant color for you)
If you are trying to manifest someone, praying or anything, don't give up, it's working! Have confidense. Don't give up on hope, you will find love, don't worry. But also, I know it's a little confusing, but try not to be too obsessed about it. I feel there will be a big change in your life, I don't think it's bad, just something big. And you will be too busy to think about love, but suddenly there will be your person. I almost wrote soulmate, they can be your soulmate too. It's definitely a fated connection. It can happen relatively fast, the energie is pretty fast. You can meet online. Or in a trip, they are traveling to where you live or you travel to their city. It can be a long distance relationship for a while at first. They seems like a fun person, probably an extrovert, optimistic. A youthful person, even if they are older than you. Sexual chemistry is very good here. It can be that you will study or work somewhere else and you will meet them there. I feel you won't be sure if they are good for you at first, because their personality. But it's not like they can't be serious too, so they aren't just a fun loving person. You can overcome anything together, they are the kind of person who will support you in hard times too.
Pile 2 - orange butterfly
Feels like love at first sight. Or should I say lust at first sight? I feel they are like want you right there, when they meet them. You are like two magnets to each other. It can be a little overwhelming though. They will be your type physically. They are very charming, confident, they will sweep you off your feet. They are probably a foreigner or have foreign parents /roots. I feel you two need to focus to know each other too. Because the physical attraction here is so strong. At one point there can be separation too, or a misunderstanding, I see a little conflict here. But I think it's actually good for you to take some time seperately, because it felt like it was too much for you two, you suddenly went from single to fully in love and it was overwhelming. You can meet when traveling. Or it can be after some hard time in your life, or that specific day will be a hard one, but you will be tired, but they will still find you very attractive. It's either raining or snowing that day.
Pile 3 - black and red butterfly
Oh definitely soulmates. I think they are older than you, mature, a little conservative maybe or just traditional. Very loyal, a hard worker. Their love language can be gift giving, they like to take care of their loved ones. Maybe they find it a little harder to tell you how they feel, but they will show you with actions. Very protective over you. You two probably get married too. You can meet in a church too. Or in a grocery store, somewhere you can buy something. I heard book store or a library too. For some of you, family or friends will introduce you two. I feel like you need to be patient, they are coming, don't worry, but it's need a little more time. I think they like to take their time anyway, not a reckless person, likes to think about their decisions. If you have any physical or mental problem, they will be very understanding and you will get better. If you need medical help, please go to a professional doctor, but I'm just trying to say that they will bring positive change in your life, you will be more balanced with them. I feel for some of you, you will move in together fast, so you can leave that bad environment.

Grocery Store Fire Cider
Tumblr media
I try to always have fire cider on hand during the colder months. Fire cider is vinegar infused with warming, expectorant (mucus-clearing) herbs to help clear out gunk from our respiratory system. It's great for clearing up congestion and helping with wet coughs. Since pretty much everyone in my house tends towards wet cold symptoms (congestion/runny nose, coughing up mucus, etc.), we go through a lot of this stuff every cold and flu season.
I take a shot of fire cider as soon as I feel congestion or a wet cough coming on, or if I've been around someone I know is sick. While it doesn't always keep me from getting sick, I do think it helps speed up my recovery and keep my symptoms less severe.
A lot of fire cider recipes online and in herbalism books call for less common herbs that need to be purchased online or from a speciality herb shop. This year, I decided to make a batch with only herbs you can buy cheaply at most grocery stores. Here's the recipe for my fellow herbalists on a budget!
You will need:
A quart mason jar
1 whole head of fresh garlic, peeled and roughly chopped, OR 3 spoonfuls of pre-minced jarred garlic
3 knobs of fresh ginger about the size of your thumb, roughly chopped, OR 3 spoonfuls of store-bought ginger paste
1 package fresh thyme OR 2 tablespoons dried thyme
1 package fresh sage OR 2 tablespoons dried sage
1 quart apple cider vinegar
There are two methods I've used to make this cider. The traditional method is a slow infusion that takes 2+ weeks, but I've also developed a fast infusion method for when I feel a cold coming on and need a batch of fire cider ASAP.
Traditional Method:
Add your herbs to a clean mason jar. Pour the vinegar over the herbs and fill the jar to the top. Put a lid on the jar. (Vinegar will corrode metal lids, so either use a plastic lid or place a square of parchment paper between your jar and the metal lid.)
Place the jar in a cool, dark place and allow it to infuse for at least 2 weeks and up to 1 month. You can strain the herbs out to store at room temperature, or you can do what I do and store the whole thing in the fridge, herbs and all.
If you leave the herbs in, you can keep this batch of fire cider going all winter by topping the jar up with more vinegar every time it gets below halfway full.
Fast Infusion Method:
Add the herbs to the mason jar like you would for the traditional method. Instead of adding vinegar, fill the jar halfway with boiling water. Let sit for 2-3 hours.
Once the water has cooled down to room temperature, fill the jar the rest of the way with vinegar. Let it sit overnight and then either strain the herbs out or store the whole thing in the fridge.
To use the fire cider, take a shot glassful whenever you feel cold symptoms coming on. If you made your cider with the traditional method, you can dilute it with water if your stomach doesn't handle acid well. You can also mix in some honey to improve the taste.
Please note that fire cider and other folk remedies are not a replacement for medical care. I highly recommend staying up to date on your flu and COVID-19 vaccines in addition to using remedies like this.

Hey, uh, in light of running through several posts dedicated to deleting period tracking apps and researching local facilities online and a number of other online-centric tips, I think it’s worth mentioning that now is also absolutely the time to turn to physical media when it comes to getting hard/impossible-to-track information. By that I mean,
1. Start hitting up libraries and bookstores. Paper print can’t be spied on. The paranoia in me says if you need to buy a book on Certain Medical Topics, try to pay in cash. Yes, really. I don’t know how far or deep the dystopia hole is going to go in the midst of all this, or even in the near future, but it pays to have absolutely nothing that can reveal digital details to sniff out.
2. GET A PHONE BOOK. AN ACTUAL. PHYSICAL. PHONE BOOK. 
The less info you have to look up online about nearby options, the better. 
I hate sounding like I’m writing while wearing a tinfoil hat, but I’m dead serious when I say that the increasing chokehold the digital landscape is taking on all our information and day-to-day lives is very much a double-edged sword. Yes, we’re more informed now than ever. But so are the cartoon villain-level parties who have more and more access to our private information and search topics.
In anything you can, try to get your hands on a physical method and/or copy. Nothing that can be traced, or that depend on an Internet connection, or demand a subscription. Invest in solid things you can do or hold.
Stay informed. Stay safe.

No purpose, just pain.
Do you remember your first obsession? Your first love? The first event that filled you with so much excitement? Your first holiday? That time your favourite game you've been waiting years for, is here next week? The hobby you took on like it was your purpose in life? maybe you got married?
That 'thing' where it was alllllll you could think about. You'd spend hours trawling the Internet or even books for anything to do with your new 'thing.'
Your stomach would flutter with excitement, your heart would race with anticipation. The closer you got, the bubbling anxiety would build to the back of your throat & you pace around your home opening and closing the fridge until the day arrives.
*throws 🔧🔧🔧*
My "first thing" is my illnesses & their many many varying symptoms. All I can think about is how awful I feel, every minute of every day and somehow I'm not(?) dying. [How/Why?]
It occupies my every thought. I spend and have spent countless hours scouring the Internet, medical journals, buying books written by doctors, finding actual doctors, to find answers, help, guidance, a drug maybe.
I've found an online community that has helped me feel less alone but none of us have rarely found answers. When we are given answers we are told to just deal with it, usually with OTC meds because there is no help for what we have, apparently.
We are a community on the slowest moving boat you've ever seen, rocked by our pain, our cries, our wait, our hope, that one day we are seen and our illnesses are given the recognition, research and funding they desperately need.
My stomach does not flutter with excitement anymore, it's a string of stomach and bladder problems that are ignored*. I'm not dancing with excitement, I'm jolting with nerve pain that is ignored*. I'm not searching up anything anymore because the 10kg weights on my eyelids & the sedative that seems-to-occupy-my-blood, send me to sleep.
*{When symptoms are ignored that means they are never addressed, studied, tested, looked at, are put under an umbrella term for your chronic illness and that is where you will remain}*
I can't "pace" my way through the pain-filled days because I am too weak & exhausted, filled with heavy lead bones & lead blood. When I try to go back to my 'thing' I am distracted by the pains & fatigue & the fact that no help is coming, even from myself.
"How can I paint a flower when I'm being struck by lightening with every breath & stroke of the brush?"
I've put my all into finding ways to make the best of my symptoms, to manage them, understand them, come to terms with them, accept my new body and what it wants or needs. Yet I've failed to nail any real reason, finding, bodily requirement or pattern that makes it manageable or predictable.
Pain diaries, food diaries, bathroom diaries, sleep diaries, how many diaries over these years will/does it take for a result? A conclusion? Blood tests, urine tests, tests tests tests that provide the same information but no further action. How many needles does it take for further assistance?
All of this & I'm told to be happy, be grateful. I'm told to just take each day at a time when each day is the same, breathing, pain filled void, achieving nothing, trapped behind 4 walls. I'm told I'm not trying hard enough or that I can't give up.*
[apparently being sad about your symptoms means you have given up]*
How does one go on when they have nothing left of energy, no path to turn, no doctor to just "get it," when there is no way out of this trap.
How does one carry on with no purpose but pain?

If you got this far, thank you. This has taken me some days to write up💜✨

If you’re comfortable with it could you do “while you’re on your period” with Evan Peters characters?
I love your work btw <33
Evan peters characters reacting to you being on your period
Thank you so much! This was really fun to write, especially since I’m on mine and I’m suffering :,)
Tate Langdon:
Would clean the bed sheets if you bled on them, blood clearly doesn’t scare him
He’s a total sweetheart on it tbh
Will cuddle with you as long as you want, because what else is he to do
If you have to go to school or work he’ll try to bring your mood up before you have to leave
Would be willing to watch anything with you, even Keeping Up with the Kardashians if you’re into that kinda shit (guilty 🤭)
He will listen to your favorite music 24/7 for the entire time you’re on you’re period
Since he can’t run out and get you things, he’d try to cook for you using a recipe he found online, and will run you baths
If you’re having cramps he will offer medication, getting frustrated if you don’t take it since you’re in pain, but not taking the god damn medication 
He would follow you around like a lost puppy not really knowing what to do
Will either have to ask one of the ghosts (even going to extents of asking Constance) or going on the internet 
Kit Walker:
He knows everything
He knows when you start before you even do
He’s got you fucking covered, diva cups, pads, tampons, period underwear, whatever you want and he’s already got three of it for you
He will be willing to go to the store for you at ANY hour
Will cook you whatever you want
Will make you pancakes 
Will buy you flowers and chocolates
He wouldn’t get mad at you for your mood swings, he will listen to you
If you want him there he’s all yours (outside of work hours) but if you want him to leave, he’s out of sight ( who would want that)
He will take baths with you in hot water 
He will make you tea and give you medicine whenever the writing on the back of the bottle says 
Kyle Spencer:
Pre-death
He isn’t grossed out
He will gladly change the sheets if you bled on them, he would try to make sure you didn’t see that you bled through so that you wouldn’t feel embarrassed 
Although you most definitely would know 
He would love to give you cuddles 
And would massage your stomach for you if you wanted (tbh I wouldn’t want that-)
He is a total sweetheart 
He wouldn’t really know what to do, but he would run to the store for whatever you need 
Post-death
he is so scared
Why are you sticking things up there?!
Why are you bleeding out of that?!
You’d have to explain to him what the hell is going on
He still doesn’t understand
It happens every month??
Tbh who doesn’t wonder these
Like actually fuck uteruses 
Jimmy Darling
He can’t take time off of the freak show
Will try so hard not to react to your mood swings
Will try not to get mad at you if you yell at him, but it is VERY hard
He understands that you can’t control it, but it is so hard some times
Always apologizes though, and you do too, but he usually tells you not to apologize
He will kiss you all over your face while hugging you tightly 
He will make you tea and will do anything to try to make your happier, like reading your favorite books with you
I feel like Jimmy wouldn’t like reading
Idk why, he just seems like the guy who would take a novel from someone’s hands and say “how can you read this? There’s no pictures”
If you understood that reference I love you
So this is a big deal and you should appreciate it because it won’t happen a whole lot
He’ll listen and dance with you to music 
If you’re up to it
Kai Anderson:
You’re on your period? Why would he care? 
He thinks you’re just weak
He wants to make a messiah baby with you, and now you’re saying you don’t want to fuck when you’re bleeding and your uterus is getting vengeance on you? How dare you.
He finds it as a sign of failure, since you’re clearly not pregnant if you’re getting your period
Since he’s so unpredictable, he may give you some cuddles when you’re going to bed, or make you sleep in a wardrobe as punishment 
He won’t offer sanitary products, will refuse to even give you any or have you go out and buy some
But luckily Winter is there
Winter will try to get you anything you need, medicine, chocolate, comfort, and of course, pads tampons or whatever the fuck
Literally just marry Winter
No but can we talk about Winter
She is so mommy
Anyway
No but should I write Winter fanfiction 
Evan Peters:
Will give you cuddles if you want
Will watch cringey rom coms with you if you were into that, or really scary horror movies too
Would cook you anything you wanted (or attempt to make anything)
He would also run the store if you needed something like pads 
Wouldn’t be embarrassed to by pads or tampons 
If he was away filming you he would call you when he could

Just some Mary hcs when they're sketching/painting while I slowly work on this discussion post-
Mary stays in shrimp position
They've tried sitting up straight or even laying back in bed, but hunched over his sketchbook or canvas just works better
He does own an easel, but that's mainly for the larger canvases
Yes, this idiot will still occasionally put the larger canvas on the floor and hunch over it
You can yell at them all you want to stop. It's not going to work
Contrary to popular belief, Mary actually listens to different music when he's painting or sketching
What's different music? Something slow with a chill beat. They'll even listen to some old romantic songs. Only You by The Platters is one of their favorites to start working with
If you notice Mary working too much on paintings (sacrificing sleep and meals) or even too little on them (having not touched a single painting in a month or more) please ask them if something is wrong. These are normally "warning" signs that something is wrong mentally, which can normally be stress or another episode of deep depression
On the very rare occasion, Mary working too much on his paintings can mean that he's neglected his schizophrenia medication due to forgetfulness. When this happens, their paranoia kicks in full force and they'll be too scared to even sleep. There isn't a way to "break" this. The most you can do is remind them to take their medication and be there for them (preferably in person and to spend a few nights in their apartment, but he understands if you're too busy to visit)
Sometimes Mary's sketches can be... a little out there
This shouldn't be a surprise because of the lyrics to their songs, but you should always be weary when you peek inside their sketchbook
Is it going to be scenery? Portraits? A portrait study of a dead body they dug up the other night? No one knows! Good luck.
I promise most of the sketches weren't for Mary to get his rocks off later
He actually has a morbid fascination with death because it was never talked about when they were growing up. His parents always shot down any "What happens when we die?" question from him and his siblings
Well Mary is now a grown adult that gets to see what exactly happens. And you know what? They love it. They love the circle of life, seeing what the person was buried in and what was buried with them
Mary never steals, though. He'll look through everything, and he even spent the night reading some Edgar Allan Poe when he saw the book tucked beside the corpse
But every time they're done, bored, or it's getting to almost be daylight, Mary will put everything back inside the casket and bury it neatly so it looks like no one was ever there
Sometimes Mary's sketches will reflect what they found. Books, jewelry, stuffed animals, wilted and dead flowers. At the bottom of the page, you'll find the name of the person that was inside the casket, along with the birth and death year
None of these sketches will ever make it to canvas. This is Mary's own personal outing and they don't feel the need to transfer something so personal onto canvas
What does Mary do with all of these paintings?
He sells them. Normally online, but if you've managed to drag them out to an art convention, he'll bring along several canvases
You always tell them they should charge more for their work, but Mary will just say it's not that big of a deal
Really, they're just happy someone loves their artwork and is willing to pay money so they can hang it in their home
Plus, some of the people recognize him and will gush about his music as well. These people get paintings for a little cheaper
Why?
"I feel like they've spent enough either coming to see our shows or buying our shit. I can afford to not make ten or twenty dollars."

I was bored in the hospital last night and for some reason I decided to debate some Matt Walsh transphobe jerks in a Twitter thread. Like here and here and here. I was holding my own but then the discussions turned into a "Study Off" as I like to call them. They post a link to a study saying medical transitions or puberty blockers are the worst. And then I have to counter with a newer better study that says they have decent positive outcomes. Then they say that study is bad. Then I have to find a different study. And it is just a tiring form of debate that never goes anywhere.
One study they referenced was a Swedish study that assessed how transgender surgeries from as far back as the 70s turned out. I was all, "You know they improved the surgeries a tiny bit from the frickin' 70s, right?" But also, it is really hard to gauge how effective transitioning can be when you can't factor out societal attitudes.
"They transitioned and for some reason they are still depressed! Clearly it doesn't work!"
Meanwhile, every red state in the country is basically trying to outlaw being trans.
The depression is a real mystery.
I never know how to pivot from a Study Off. I want to tell them I have friends and many many followers that have gone through medical transitions or done the puberty blockers and affirming care and it basically saved their lives. But the response to that will be "anecdotal evidence." Though I might have enough trans followers for a decent sample size.
But my point is, they don't ever talk to trans people to see how they feel about all this. When I ask, these people never actually know any trans people. They might debate a few online, but they don't *know* or befriend actual trans people.
I don't think you can truly understand the reality of something unless you talk to the people affected. I mean, *really* talk to them... without a character limit and barrier of anonymity.
I asked this guy if he knew any trans people or had any trans friends.

How can you judge something as "horrific" if you never actually talk to the people you are making wild speculations about?
He just created something in his head of what a trans person is and has no interest in seeking the reality of a trans existence. Apparently all trans people have been duped into a medical money making scheme. So none of them have the agency or self awareness to want transition?
I bet he purposely avoids getting to know any trans people because he doesn't want to lose this idea of them he has manufactured in his mind.
Manipulated and taken advantage of for profit, eh?
What do they think being transgender is? Organized religion?
I keep seeing conservative Christians call trans people delusional and living in a fantasy all while they believe in a magic man that walked on water. They see people speaking in tongues and think that is normal. They watch faith healers scam people and praise the Holy Ghost. They are told if they tithe all their money they will be rewarded with prosperity instead of just incurring more debt. They see their megachurch preacher owning 20 supercars and a private jet and don't question the money they gave. They see Rhianna in a red outfit at the Superbowl and are convinced she is in league with Satan. They think being queer can create disastrous storms.
Maybe they aren't the ones who should be policing delusion.
They are the ones that have been duped into a money making scheme. Matt Walsh and the like are profiting off this hatred and everyone that buys into that hatred, they are the ones being manipulated. They are being told they are "saving children" from mutilation and castration and you can learn more after buying the Matt Walsh movie and his book of the movie. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and buy merch too.
It's all to save the kids! (Until they become 18 and then they are adult trans and thus, the enemy.)

"How can we help the least amount of kids that don't actually want or need our help?"
