oh i do want to say in the wake of the goncharov stuff - my followers probably know this by now but my blog is NOT a safe space for trigger tagging. it’s not something i do maliciously or on purpose, but a combination of habit, executive function issues, and bad long term memory mean i just won’t be able to tag things with the consistency someone who needs trigger tags will need. i’d rather any of you unfollow or even block me than put yourself at risk — no hard feelings there. and if you’re scrolling my blog, be careful. none of my posts will be trigger tagged.

I love how he finds the words to describe the concepts that float around my head daily ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love him!

And it doesn't have to be a group cult to work this way. This is how I got out of my late father's life when I realized how abusive he was. Notwithstanding that I'd answer when he wrote, each answer running hundreds or thousands of words (because I would write these things out anyway for my own benefit and thus have them lying around when he wrote me more spite and denial); but what they said to him was (at least once quite literally), "I don't fall under your jurisdiction any more. If you want me back in your life you must argue your case in my jurisdiction under my rules of evidence." But in five years he provided me almost no proof he even read what I wrote.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

adhd is so embarrassing ur basically like “I have to have fun right the fuck now or I’m throwing myself off the roof” 90% of the time and you also have very little control over this

This was the single most important thing for me to start understanding re: my undiagnosed ADHD, and it's the thing no one tells you except other ADHD sufferers. My brain's reward system is so broken that boredom rapidly becomes indistinguishable from a depressive episode. There's no healthy, normal ability to experience something as simply being a little dull--as soon as my brain isn't getting regular hits of stimulation, I start clawing at the walls. This is what makes working in a structured environment and initiating tasks so difficult for me, not malice or other character flaws.

What makes it worse is that, if you're like me, when you were growing up, the only way your authority figures knew how to perceive this was "they're just goofing off," and therefore, would deprive you of anything remotely stimulating until you'd done your work, thinking that -- if it worked like it would with an NT kid, you'd do your work faster so you could get back to having fun.

Instead, they just pulled the plug on any tiny bit of power you had running to your necessary brainwaves and put you into longterm shutdown mode.

But then....you grew up...with only that method for coping ingrained into you. So no matter how much you may know logically, now, that you have to have the "fun/interesting/challenging" cord plugged in for your brain to have any juice at all, you feel guilty for having to plug that in FIRST instead of as a reward for doing Adulting. So you just sit there, unplugged, not getting anything done.

Or maybe that's just me.

even the most supportive and well meaning people in my life struggle to understand how painful lack of stimulation is, how immobilizing executive dysfunction is, and how i cannot feel satisfaction the way they do. the number of times i’ve been told “won’t it feel so nice to accomplish it and have it off your plate?” and having to explain that i don’t feel relief or pride when i finish a task, just exhaustion, and that’s part of why it’s so hard to even start it

Hey look, it’s an ending where no one dies :D

Except Zote. No one likes you, Zote.

I needed to make a comic out of this edit. I couldn’t help it. Here’s part 1.

Part 2 is done ^^

(And I’m getting the DEVILISH feeling to continue this comic after a part 3 but if I do, there will be feels because I love torturing characters.)

And that concludes this mini comic…

Although….I want to continue it after I reach a certain amount of followers e.e Let’s see if we reach 100!

all truly successful dystopians have an element of satire. you have to be able to seriously take something to its satirical extreme to explore it in a way that makes it so extremely clear how terrible it is

i'm a taylor swift centrist. she makes perfectly tolerable pop music that i can't imagine really getting into. dunno what it is about her that makes so many people go insane

i listen to one of these relatively bland and inoffensive but nonetheless well-crafted pop songs and everyone around me demands that i proclaim it a masterpiece or artistically bankrupt or whatever. i just want to grill for god's sake

"i use the terms masc and fem to be more inclusive of nonbinary people"

do you even hear yourself???

yeah, masc and fem nonbinary people exist, but literally a big part of being nonbinary is not wanting to be put into a gender binary, which is exactly what you're doing.

you're only being inclusive of the people who at least have some proximity to the binary, of the nonbinary people who make you feel the least uncomfortable.

it's literally exorsexist trans ally logic: "you can identify as whatever you want, as long as it's within the binary". this is how many people are only allies to binary trans people and not nonbinary people and apparently it's also how people are allies to masc and fem nonbinary people but not to the rest of us.

you're literally just saying "i can't call you male/female so i call you masc/fem instead, regardless of your actual identity". and changing it to "masc-identified" or "fem-identified" doesn't make it any better because a) masc people are masc and fem people are fem and b) did you know that there are more than two gender qualities/expressions? did you know there's more than two ways to be nonbinary?

no matter how much mental gymnastics you do to justify your shitty binary language, masc and fem in any variations will never include me. neither will androgyny and neutrality for that matter, but those are barely forced upon people the way masculinity and femininity are.

i wish we'd finally call it what it is: another gender binary. masc vs. fem isn't less binary than male vs. female, it's not binary lite, it's not less bad. it's literally just another gender binary. it's just as fucking violent.

and before anyone has a go at me for supposedly hating masc and fem nonbinary people because i speak out against the masc/fem binary, no i fucking don't, i simply hate the idea that those are the only two options and everyone has to be either one or the other. i'd be happy with masculinity and femininity existing along all the other options. you all can literally still exist without there being a binary. stop using binary people logic against other nonbinary people.

As bad as you think discourse on here is, rest assured that there is internal drama on terf Tumblr that would make your eyes melt.

Every six months some big "lesbian separatist" blog turns out to be happily married to a straight man.

Or the racefaking.

Every once in a while you get a leaked sexts scandal, and you get a peek into some truly labyrinthine psychosexualized obsession with trans bodies.

as an empath there are many bony fish species i can't make eye contact with because their emotions flood my brain at such high pressure it gives me nosebleeds but cartilaginous fish are no problem as 700 years ago i was a smalltooth sawfish

the autistic view of the world has insight and beauty in it, and we’re taught that there’s something wrong with it.

What’s fascinating is that the parents who didn’t know it was the work of an autistic kid praised it as well.

Technically, we don't know that it's an autistic kid's work, either. 5e infographic doesn't say Cadence is autistic.

"appropriate play skills" is such a horrid phrase, goddamn

people demonize autism so much that parents think their children aren’t playing “correctly”. it’s play, how could it ever be wrong?
