meagan has been moved to federal custody, specifically FMC Fort Worth. *And* they booked her under her deadname, because of course the federal government would do that to her. She still has the state charges, but the federal government has decided to press charges before the state of Texas got around to it.

If y'all want to mail her things, I'd really appreciate it. Use Meagan as her name in the letters but the name below on the envelopes, and it should be fine.

Please, more than ever, she needs support as a trans woman. Getting your name changed by force like this is painful, and she needs all the love we can get her

Some tips that might be helpful to those writing from Black and Pink, which helps facilitate pen pals for LGBTQ+ incarcerated people:

To note specifically, rules vary by prison system and are enforced arbitrarily: "Some prison systems, like Texas, have decided to ban all postcards and greeting cards as a way to prevent drugs… Some won’t accept construction paper, or mailing labels, or glitter. Pennsylvania scans all mail in a facility in Florida and then prints it."

These are Texas' rules. In general, be aware that someone is reading what you write and may be looking for reasons to deny the correspondence.

#meagan was arrested for a crime she did not commit#and is being misgendered by her jailers and state appointed defense attorney despite a name change in 2007

Some reasons I have had letters to Meagan rejected, just for everybody's edification, bc none of this is on any website or in any published rules:

So far they have not rejected letters with little drawings on the pages; there is a golem protecting her & our correspondence who gets drawn on every letter. The golem has a hat. And a balloon. :P

As of right now, she is able to receive (black and white scans of) postcards and has said she really enjoys receiving them. I don't know about your state, but I was able to go to a local state park and pick up a TON of free "Oregon Landmark" postcards with cool nature pictures on them, so all I have to pay for is the postage in order to send her a constant stream of postcards with cool pictures of Crater Lake and waterfalls and stuff like that.

So far, all of the books I've had shipped (they must be shipped directly from a bookstore, B&N, Amazon, etc.) have arrived safely. I got so annoyed about them only giving her scans of the postcards that I found a couple of art photo books and had them sent so there are Outdoors Pictures for her, heh.

oh my god i would've fucking killed myself

i feel like those posts thatre like “REAL gay people don’t talk about yaoi discourse they go to gay clubs and do ket” are crazy like i understand they’re critiquing a hyper specific genre of online queer but babe they can do both… i know people who are ravers and are always on shrooms and read mcr rpf like i feel like we draw a big line between the online queer community and the in person one but that girls at gay bars have tumblr accounts it’s really not that seperate

calling something “spiritually israeli” in a derogatory way is so cartoonishly antisemitic you would think it might give a self-described leftist pause. unfortunately i am still making this post

and these posts are all very recent.

i want believe the stranger things fans posting this shit are very, very young and will one day cringe when they remember their #antisemitism era. unfortunately i don’t believe! and also this shit is actively getting jews killed.

As someone who was kicked out of a Stranger Things discord for holding beliefs held by over 90% of Jews and leaving a ST ship discord because people’s dropping antisemitic takes about Noah many of these people are well into their 30s. Drinking the kool aid and proud of it.

You can dislike Stranger Things (or any other show), in whole or in part, without using this kind of language. I promise.

Before I figured out how to draw Raine and Eda in my artstyle, I redrew a few moments from series 😳💞 but I haven’t done it with other characters yet sooo 🤡

i do NOT write for myself i write for the eleven year old girl walking circles on the playground making up stories in her head and muttering the dialogue out loud. i see you girl. that stick you found DOES look like a cool dagger.

I hate when you catch yourself having a thought that hints at deeper insanities than previously imagined

“online fandom bestie that you once shared intense intimacies with but don’t really talk to anymore simply bc we drifted into new blorbo obsessions” is such a specific type of relationship that has to be impossible to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced it

Do you guys have like. AMVs of the mind. Like fanvideos that you have edited in your head for specific media to certain songs and every time you hear the song (or at least sometimes) you think about this nonexistent fanvideo. Used to happen to me a lot in high school and now I still do it sometimes just for fun

approaching the wip carefully from the side like a skittish animal. speaking in a low, gentle voice so it doesn’t run away

do you guys ever think about the letters el sent the rest of the party while she was in california

September 20th, 1985

Dear Max,

I have not written a letter before. Joyce got me this fancy paper to use. Do you see that it matches the envelope? I am sorry that my handwriting is not good. Will’s looks so neat and I don’t know how he does it because I have to focus so much just to get the letters right. California is good so far it is hot which I hate but Joyce says I will get used to it. I put the pictures from our day at the mall on my bedroom wall. Jonathan says he can develop some more pictures he took before we left for me to put up too. I am glad because I don’t want to forget what everyone looks like. I don’t think I would but just in case.

I hope that everyone in Hawkins is good. I am going to write to Mike next. I want to write to everyone but it takes me a lot of time because I have to figure out the words and the spelling and everything. In case it takes me a while please tell Dustin that there is a museum here that is all about technology and maybe he could visit sometime to go to it because I think he would like it. I am going to make Jonathan take me because he wants to go. Also tell Lucas that his goodbye note was so nice that it made me cry which made Jonathan buy me ice cream so Lucas kind of gave me two nice things. 

I have to start at my new school in a week. I really do not want to. Joyce says it will be good for me. Will says it will be terrible. Jonathan says to tell him if people are mean to me. I do not think that will happen but Jonathan seems very worried that it will. How are you doing? I am worried because of your stepdad but you would not talk to me about it when I asked. It is okay if you don’t want to talk about it because I usually don’t want to talk about bad things too. It was just easier when I was there so I could make sure you were okay.

I am going to stop the letter because I am running out of space and even though I keep taking breaks my hand really hurts. I really miss you.

Love, El

okay not to ramble about an abandoned work but my idea for this was to basically document max's post-s3 decline. as time goes on (things with neal getting worse, neal leaving, the move to the trailer, susan's drinking), she writes less and less and further and further apart until there are just letters from el, with no responses. then the last letter would be max's "in case things go wrong" note to el.

harrow the ninth asks the question "what is the first impulse of a genius necromancer when trying to retain any shred of coherency in a river bubble?" and gives the unambiguous answer "write fanfiction"

to be clear I am talking both about palamedes "the necromancer's marriage season... 2!!!!" sextus and harrowhark "role swap au" "ballroom au" "coffee shop au" nonagesimus. tamsyn muir said that in 100% of case studies the last frantic attempt of a prodigy to avoid entering a final psychological death spiral is writing tropey fanfic.

ortus I'm so sorry I forgot about you and your matthias nonius rpf. you may not be a necromancer but you were still fucking it up in a river bubble. unequivocally harrow the ninth boldly states that fanfiction saves lives.

how it feels to be playing Character with your friend

"I want him" not sexually not romantically but a secret third way (squeaky toy)

Something that always bothers me in mental health spaces is the fear of relating too much to each-other across the lines of different disorders. Too many times I've met people who are not dissociative systems, but have dissociative experiences (such as from BPD), and they trip over themselves saying "no no, I mean, I don't REALLY understand what you go through, my thing is totally different," and it makes me a little upset. Disorders are just clusters of symptoms packaged together in a certain way, that's why the names and criteria often change across DSM and ICD editions, and viewing them as entirely exclusive clubs where only they could possibly understand anything about each other isn't a particularly healthy way of seeing it. The lines between disorder labels are blurrier than you think. You are not being a bad person or overstepping for relating to symptoms of a disorder, or people with a disorder, without having their specific label. Very rarely (if ever, frankly) is there a symptom that can only occur in one disorder, or even one type of disorder. Psychosis can occur in countless circumstances. Dissociation and identity compartmentalization can occur in countless circumstances. It's better to focus more on your specific symptoms and building community with your fellow neurodivergent people, using the resources that help you regardless of if they were specifically made for your diagnosis, over worrying about whether or not you're "allowed" to relate to something or experience something similarly to someone else.
