I definitely know what I'm doing @a-concerned-watcher - Tumblr Blog

just a heads-up for those of you (like me) who have triggers surrounding animal harm/death, PETA has released a youtube ad with sounds of owls screaming in agony and goes into graphic descriptions of ‘mutilation’ and death. it’s unskippable.

if you see a black screen with audiowaves on it or hear owls/johns hopkins, get out of there

Politicians should be paid minimum wage.

They should want to do it because it’s a service to their community and the work is fulfilling, not because it makes them money.

They can petition for a raise once a year during their review, but it cannot exceed 25% of their hourly rate.

Stop assigning genders to the the sun and moon, you freaks! They are just rocks. Sexy sexy rocks, but rocks nonetheless

The sun is about 2% rock. You can round it up.

Just a reminder since they're making it harder to get diagnosed with autism soon, if tools made for either autistic or ADHD people help you: use them. That simple. Don't worry about taking away resources because most of the time if more people are using a thing the more accessible and normalized it becomes

Hey this is going to be for my fellow arospec folks out there.

Experiencing romantic attraction does not make you not aro.

Demiromantics? Valid. Grayromantics? Valid. Lithromantics? Valid. Recipromantics? Valid. Orchidromantics? Valid. Aroflux folk? Valid.

As a demiromantic person I do experience romantic attraction. I am capable of developing crushes. Does that make me less aromantic? No. It doesn't.

Aromanticism is a spectrum. It's not just clear cut. I will keep calling myself aromantic, because I am.

I find myself questioning if I'm actually aroace or not, especially when I start developing crushes. But then I remember that my experience isn't the alloromantic one. My crushes are only on people I form an emotional connection with, and are weak until I get to know them on a deeper level.

It's. A. Spectrum.

Now I want to get married just so I can do this.

If I were a billionaire I would absolutely tell my secretary to send wedding gifts to anyone who sent me an invite regardless of if I knew them, because- A. I know how expensive that nonsense is. B. I would be a billionaire and when else am I gonna do with that much money? Honestly… and C. I would totally make showing up at random weddings with crazy awesome gifts my new stress relief hobby. “Congratulations random strangers! I admire your daring and stratigic planning. Here’s that 700$ tea set you wanted but assumed no one would ever buy.”

Whenever I take a long car ride I end up exhausted afterwards, and I'm always like "why am I so tired? I was just sitting around doing nothing all day."

But the answer, it turns out, is I was doing something. Riding in a car jars your body in many directions and requires constant microadjustments of your muscles just to stay in place and hold your normal posture. Because you're inside the car, inside the situation, it's easy not to notice all the extra work you're doing just to maintain the status quo.

There's all sorts of work that we think of as "free" that require spending energy: concentrating, making decisions, managing anxiety, maintaining hypervigilance in an unfriendly environment, dealing with stereotype threat, processing a lot of sensory input, repairing skin cells damaged by sun exposure, trying to stay warm in a cold room.

The next time you think you're tired from "nothing", consider instead that you're probably in situation where you're doing a lot of unnoticed extra work just to stay in place.
