Transit in the UK is so fucked... Why does it cost 2-3 times less for me to go to Malta than it would to go half way down the UK?

Dawntrail tidbit I don't see many people realising slight spoilers in replies though I'll try to be cryptic

Does anybody know any good UK trans charities? Been wanting to pivot more towards just doing charity streams but not sure which would be good. International ones are also options but would prefer to do UK if possible otherwise my fallback would be Trevor Project.

I have decided I want to make the #FFXIV community hate me with a single screenshot (:

Anyone disagreeing with this point I dare you to tell me what youd think if I tried to reclaim the word dumb since that too is an ableist insult in the exact same vein as the r-slur. (its an insult that suggests mute people are lesser intelligence in case anyone was wondering)

This is your reminder to take a moment. Be proud of your achievements, even if it's something as simple as finally getting the strength to brush your teeth after a month. Be kind to yourself. You only need to do what you can each day, and that can include rest. 💙

I totally didn't almost forgot my own affiliate anniversary not me never! Anyway eepy Sunday ASMR time, come by and rest 💙 www.twitch.tv/svitanna

Hey you camera knowledgeable peeps, anyone got any recommendations of cheap cameras and advice for getting in to photography? Somehow I completely forgot I live near one of the most beautiful places in England and wanted an excuse to get out more. 💙

Hear me out... A woman... but she's lifting your chin with the tip of a sword

Look who finally remembered she's meant to be a streamer! Early morning no talking ASMR to unwind 💙 www.twitch.tv/svitanna

Useless knowledge from a frequent flyer: If you hit play on Jonathon Young's Danger Zone as you start takeoff roll in a narrow body plane you will lift off to the line "highway to the danger zone". (I forget if it's the same for wide body - it might be "headin' into twilight")

Ran the dumbest D&D game I've seen... our sorceress healer opens combat against BBEG with meteor swarm, didn't even wait for others to draw attention. BBEG looks at sorceress: "Good idea!" and one shots the sorceress with meteor swarm just to make a point.

FFXIV hot take - being attracted the Z villain is a red flag. I said what I said.

Hey millennials, Charlie the Unicon was about 20 years ago.

Going to take a break from social media for a while I think. I can only handle seeing people calling for people like me to be gagged or locked up just for existing before it starts to destroy my mental health. Maybe one day people can start seeing us as humans but I've lost all hope in for that now.

You know what I'm done being nice so I've come up with a solution for everyone saying we should be gagged if we dare leave our homes. We could all start wearing a black triangle so you know to avoid us, then we can exist in public and you know to stay away /s OBVIOUSLY but ffs I'm sick of this shit

THREAD #BAFTAS #TOURETTES 1/ As a 34yo with treatment resistant, severe Tourette’s and coprolalia, I’d like to throw my hat into the ring here regarding the BAFTA incident. Let me first say that I think we should be listening to black people when they talk about their experiences with that word.

Something else to add to the set up - If I'm at an event and see a hot mic in front of me you bet your ass I'd be anxious as hell of having a bad tic... and that would make the tic more harder to stop. This strikes me as BBC: "we want to say the n word to black people but need plausible deniability"

It's almost like if people with the power of agency of their actions had listened this could have been avoided or at least mitigated but no the BBC made a conscious decision to be racist AND ableist. He did what he could to mitigate the impact of his tics and apologised for them causing harm.

Black person with Tourette’s here, hi 👋🏽 - Tourette’s is NOT a “white-only” condition - Tics are NOT voluntary - Tics can be ANY word, phrase or movement - Tics are NOT a reflection of inner thought - Having unrelated disabilities does NOT mean you speak for Black Touretters

Anyone claiming that the n word being said at the BAFTA wasn't harmful to black people is a jackass. All of these "debates" that we're having now are tired discussions that have already been had repeatedly, and it's unfair that we need to keep having them because ignorant bigots refuse to learn.

Something fun I haven't added to this conversation yet. I have an anxiety based mutism condition where my brain won't let me speak. It was caused because of all the abuse I got for having Tourettes and the abject terror of ever being heard. Ive been slowly recovering but this stuff is what caused it

The "listen to minorites and don't talk over them when they tell your their experiences" crowd seems to be awfully keen on talking over and not listening to people with Tourette's right now. And people wonder why disabled people don't trust non-disabled people to be true allies.

Love how all this has made my tics worse and more frequent, really hoping my brain doesn't latch on to a certain word that everybody keeps bringing up because knowing a word means I agree with it even though it wouldn't if I didn't have tourettes APPARENTLY. >.>

and call me crazy but I don't think "non-Black people with Tourettes should just keep away from Black people" is the anti-racist take some of you think it is lol

*plural system walks into a bank and puts a gun to their head* plural system: alright everyone, give me all your money and i won't shoot the hostages

*note: I'm fine with people who understand it talking about it so long as, like with all marginalised people, they listen to the voices of the people BEING marginalised first

I've been doing so well at keeping away from alcohol but damn the discourseᵗᵐ is making it very tempting. I guess "stay in your lane" only applies til it's about a disability you don't like or understand huh

Just a thought experiment: If somebody throws you as hard as they can at your friend against your will, are you at fault for your friend's injuries because it was your body that injured them, even if there was no use of free will on your end?

This whole Tourette's discourse has really messed with me and made my tics worse. I've been suppressing corprolalia for so long it's now instinctive to do so and the amount of pain from it is immense. Suppressing also leads to tic attacks later as tics HAVE to be released eventually.

The one good thing from all the controversy about a disabled man daring to exist in public is I've found a lot of people to block and make my experience safer, as well as finding allies to follow.

Apologies for the serious tones of my last few posts, seeing people say people like me should be locked away, beaten, or even killed and are inherently bad people for having a disability hit a bit too close to home. Now.. I'm going to go look at cute things.

I'm going to do my best to explain to people how Tourette's works with spoken tics. The person with Tourette's has no control over it, think of it like the brain picks the worst word from the library of words or phrases you know or have heard and uses your mouth to say it.

I see the internet today is once again reminding me it's only okay to have a "nice" disability and if you have one of the not "nice" ones then we should just lock ourselves away in isolation until we die so people don't have to deal with us being disabled... ableism from progressives is so fun...

Did you know in #FFXIV ARR you almost never need to fight trash? Just agro the boss while the tank runs away with the trash. They can the teleport back and provoke the boss, or you all die and get a shortcut. Either way it's faster than actually fighting the trash.

Sometimes in life you just need to cuff somebody's son

If I had a penny for every time a hot FFXIV woman was involved with draining people I'd have 2 pennies... which isn't a lot but it's strange it happened twice

Whoever invented the current test for ADHD is an evil genius, creating a test that's a nightmare to complete if you have ADHD.

Been a whiiile since I was last able to stream, debating whether to try on Friday to continue my FFXIV permadeath challenge.

You know a clinic understands ADHD when you make an appointment for ADHD a few days in advance, and then get a reminder only a few days later, they knew I'd forget lol

Just been reminded of this scene for completely no reason at all, it totally has nothing to do with UK and USA politics around trans people I don't know why you'd think it would...
