shout out to the person who read and left kudos on every fic I have ever written about elim garak this Thanksgiving, I hope my brain worms about this war criminal lizard man were somehow a comfort to you on the american civil religion's most cardassian holiday (derogatory)

#tbh I suspect you were just going through the broader garak tag on ao3 but either way that resulted in a Big post-Thanksgiving kudos email #so thanks for that!#it was nice to see the same name a half-dozen times in there #ao3 #star trek #ds9 #elim garak #other trek alien species and their american civil religious holiday associations:#klingons: independence day! it has big We Killed Our Old Gods energy & is celebrated with stolen valor & noisy light shows #ferengi: black friday! turning the day your books break even into a day of misleading discounts and artificial supply shortages is crafty #romulans: veterans day! support the troops! we love our troops! don't look too closely at what happens to those who leave the service!#I think bajorans might get memorial day? I'm not as certain about others lmk if you have thoughts of your own there #about the author

For my buds in Australia, Kids Help-line has been an amazing resource for me over the years, they're for anyone aged 5 to 25 years and I'm pretty sure they're free to call, even on a mobile!

They have a bunch of resources on their website, and free phone or web (even email?!) counselling services.

And, unlike places like Lifeline, they aren't just a crisis service, so you can call and talk to someone supportive/mental health literate even if you aren't actively suicidal, even if there's just something that doesn't feel quite right...

I'm gonna age out of their service soon lol and would just really like to suggest y'all check em out, esp. if you've avoided calling a helpline before because you aren't sure if your problems are "serious" or "valid" enough to talk about (they always are).

See below for real time footage of me saying goodbye to Kid's Helpline:

In my experience they have always been kind, they're very nice, don't be afraid to call ❤️

#kid's helpline #australia #mental health #cw suicide #resource recommendation #advice from a mental health veteran #listen to your elders- call kid's helpline #wish I'd done it sooner #think of all the years I could've been getting excellent free mental health support #wait times can be long so I like to make a tea and do some drawing or stretches while I wait #the trick is to have something chill to do while you're in the que #gifs from black books #it crowd #anne with an e #also cw fire #dunno if I need to tag that lol but here we are #long post

Me at the recruiters leeching on my little cousins knowing that they're first generation and/or immigrant kids when they thought the kids had no one to tell them otherwise about the military

#nah cuz you're not gonna tell them #oh this is your plan B oh you can travel the world oh you'd have benefits #PLAN B! To college seniors accepted into schools and you want them to suspend admission #the school gives the students hardly any support then throw recruiters at them from freshman year on to prime them on the idea riiight #'travel the world' riiiiiight as if you're traveling to shake ass at a club #and then have teachers who did join also vouch while multiple ppl #talk about having severe injuries from trainings that they hide to be able to enlist or got discharged #after multiple concussions and then a tumor #and you're not gonna gloss over how the military has its own toxic culture #and how badly the VA needs to be reformed with the lack of adequate care veterans receive #how SSI and other disability laws are suppressive and pin down #how y'all normalize withholding pay as disciplinary action #nah cuz y'all not taking my kids #tryna have better for those y'all locked in right now and before

So, I'm trans. And several years ago, I was at my great grandfather's funeral. 17, newly on T, barely out to anyone other than my close friends and family. And I'm standing there at the refreshment's table, surrounded by strangers and members of my family's church, when George walks up to me.

This man is ancient, bent like a finger and frail. Tufts of white hair surround his wrinkled face. Like always, he's wearing thick glasses, massive hearing aids, and his veteran's hat. George was my first introduction to the concept of war, when he told me as a child why he was missing two fingers on his hand. He's been a fixture at church since I can remember. I've only ever seen him at there or in uniform at parades, the rest of his time spent in a nursing home somewhere. He picks up a deviled egg and says, in his quiet voice,

"You know, before your grandfather died, he told me that now he had 3 grandsons."

I'm frozen in place. I don't know what to say to that, if I should say anything at all. This is not a conversation I expected to have, especially not with this man. But he continues.

"I didn't know what he meant! So he explained it to me."

And I can imagine it. My great grandfather, uninformed and opinionated but supportive, explaining to his friend the news he barely understood himself over after-service coffee and cookies. His eldest grandchild was now a boy.

"And, you know, I didn't know what to think."

Here, George looks me up and down. This 90-something year old war veteran, who knew me mostly as the little girl playing in the church kitchen with his wife, processing what my great grandfather had really meant. It feels like a long pause, even thought it probably passed in a second.

"But you look good. So, eh!"

And then he smiled, shrugged, and walked away without another word. If I was fine, if I was happier, then that's all that mattered.

George passed away this week, at the age of 99. This memory has been bouncing around in my head for a while, but I wasn't sure if or how I should share it. It was a conversation that meant very little, but also meant the world. It was scary, and funny, and the moment when I realized that sometimes the people you least expect will accept you. Sometimes, even if they don't fully understand, even if they barely know you, someone will choose to support you. And that will always matter.

When you have a friend who, you assumed through conversation, was a good leftist with good politics, is radio silent about the ongoing genocide in Gaza...

Who started posting Israeli flags with the words "never again is now" while Israel is actively commiting disgusting war crimes and genocide and ethnic cleansing on a population it has subjugated since it's creation...

Messages you privately wanting your opinion "as a leftist"

Oh boy, it's too early in the morning for this

#like really dude #you wanna ask me “as a leftist”#if your veterans day post is good enough #while you're spreading zionist shit and ignoring any info to the contrary?#people really need to reflect on what propaganda they've internalized #because if you consider yourself a leftist #and you support Israel in this #your thoughts are incongruent #and your cognizance is DISSONANT #colonial apartheid ethnostates that are founded on the basis of racial supremacy ARE BAAAAAAAAD ALWAYS ALL THE TIME NO EXCEPTIONS #personal #leftist

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:

People with Down syndrome

People with Fragile X

People with William’s syndrome

People with dyslexia

People with dyspraxia

People with dyscalculia

People with dysgraphia

People with Prader-Willi syndrome

People with PANS or PANDAS

People with aphasia

People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)

People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses

People with cerebral palsy

People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero

And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)

You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.

I love you all ❤️

pillsbury all like “buy our products! we help provide housing to military families”… maybe i just think too much, and like, the wives and children of military moids definitely deserve housing but… the statement just leaves far too many questions for me to be like “oh wow! pillsbury 😍 the good of humanity!”

like firstly at this point i dont think simping for the armed forces is even effective advertising, secondly, like a lot of people are homeless and a lot of them are single veterans… so is this advertisement even for pillsbury or is it just encouraging military men to baby trap a woman for housing security? like who is the target audience? thirdly, why tf is that something a corporation even NEEDS to be doing like “we make sure the families of active serving members of our military don’t become homeless!” ummm shouldn’t the fucking government do that???

#r #not even getting into the weird fetishization of military service lmfao #like the first and second points… kinda point at that but idk how to properly express how weird it is to pick the military…#as your disadvantaged group to give charity to for publicity points #akshhfhdjdk i have no idea what pillsbury actually does regarding that aside from what was presented in the commercial #like maybe this also includes veterans but the way it was phrased it really didnt seem like it and again what… what the fuck #just show me cookies or rolls baking please #like even if youre a military supporter or former military member or current unmarried military member this ad is questionable #i dont even need to be anti military anti war for this to be weird #and again like im not necessarily MAD about it i don’t think women & children deserve homelessness bc their moid kills people for uncle sam #but tbh really not something i was previously concerned about or even knew there was reason to be concerned about #and while i firmly believe we shouldnt discourage good acts because they do not benefit EVERYONE (as that’s impossible)#it’s a little weird to be so specific about who you do good for and then to advertise about like youre saving the world

I'm a big old Hollywood fan so I know most of these guys and then suddenly one of them will be a guy I've literally never heard of who apparently has a long and renowned filmography and I have to sit and think if you're not making up some of these dudes just to mess with us

(though I do realize it's just a gap in my pop culture knowledge eventually 😔)

you don't want to vote for these guys?

Propaganda

Glup Shitgrant (A Village Named Armageddon, Autumn DeLancey)—i've never gotten over his academy award winning performance in Laura Regent, never mind he got cheated by the other guy that man deserved Laura's hand in marriage! i'd also include links to his performance in Betrayal at the Carlton but i'd have to just include the whole movie at that point, he was best friends with Lauren Bacall and it totally shows in the fountain scene. he was a decorated world war II veteran and he was famous for his sauteed herring recipe, he escaped poland in 1927 and was known to say 'if the doodly doo the doodly does' in moments of crisis on set

Blorbo Peckins (East by South Arrow, Crosswinds of the Hebrides)—he's my little guy he's my big-time boy he's a dancing cowboy he's a sunshine lad he's scrungly he's femme he's a nonsense child and he IS the moment

This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.
