Pat

I am a queer trans man over the age of 18. I use he/they pronouns. This blog is for relaxing!

- I really like batoids, they are my favorite kind of animal
- I am neurodivergent (prof diagnosed schizoaffective disorder)
- This blog is safe for work, I personally try to avoid swearing/cursing

DNI

- TERFS, radfems, gender critical feminists
- racists, white supremacists, anti-semites
- lgbtq+ discourse
- anti-vaxxers, abusers, abuse apologists
- NSFW blogs, kink blogs
- pro ana, eating disorder blogs
I understand that DNI are relatively useless. The demographics listed above typically do not care about respecting my feelings. But this list might be helpful for others?

Schizoaffective Disorder- Schizoaffective Disorder is a disorder characterized by symptoms of a mood disorder and symptoms of schizophrenia, with both symptoms appearing together and separately
- There is no cure, but stabilization is possible with medication like mood stabilizers and/or antipsychotics as well as therapy
- Schizoaffective people (and anyone with a mood disorder and/or schizo-spectrum disorder) are just as much a part of your communities as any other neurodivergence. In some ways we are especially vulnerable to violence, imprisonment, and homelessness

I want to humanize and spread some awareness of this mental illness, as most people haven't heard of it. Schizoaffective disorder was previously a subtype of schizophrenia but has since been recognized as its own disorder and a part of the psychotic disorder spectrum.
