Absolutely rage-inducing to see far-right individuals coming after trans people in the name of protecting children from sexual assault. My abuser (along with many other victims' abusers) was a right-wing church leader. Afterward, the church turned its back on me, kicking me out and using the threat of eternal damnation to keep me quiet. All the while, my queer friends never stopped loving and supporting me.

Maga leaders don't speak for victims. They aren't our knights in shining armor. We already know they don't really care about us, and we see them hurting our loved ones

This week, I watched my abuser get sentenced for his crimes against me. I read a victim impact statement and told a courtroom full of strangers all the ways the abuse impacted my life.

This is the very first week of my life since I was a toddler that hasn't been controlled by this abuse. I don't know what to do with my life now, but I'm excited to find out.

All this to say that good things can happen sometimes. Things can get better. Life is worth the wait.

Yeah, i watched dungeon meshi, recognized myself, and now have a new hyperfixation. Welcome to the club, kabru is autistic for people the same way laios is autistic for monsters. And dont even get me stared on shenis hyperfixation on nutrition. (You can if you wanna tho)

Waitttt this makes so much sense. I personally vibe with Falin a lot but I definitely see autistic traits in a lot of characters. I could definitely see myself getting obsessed with this show. It's cozy, funny, and super relatable

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

... so I finally watched Dungeon Meshi and got my feelings hurt

If you're autistic (or just different) and having a hard time making friends, I highly recommend getting into TCGs. Absolutely no one there is entirely "normal," so everyone's pretty chill with you not being normal either. 10/10

Update: I got a pretty card today for winning some games. So, bonus? You can get shiny cards and trinkets!

The agony of thinking you’re finished doing the dishes only to turn around and to your horror: the pot.

sorry for how I acted when there were multiple noises happening at the same time

Anyone else get a little disappointed when there's a love triangle in a story and one of the love interests does something unforgiveable towards the end?

I'm not saying it's bad writing or anything. It just makes the main character's choice in the end feel less genuine. Because now her options are basically an angel and some guy who kicked her dog or something.

Growing up, I heard modern phrases like "love the sin, hate the sinner" and "modest is hottest" quoted in Christian circles way more than I ever heard them quote the words of Jesus. It made me realize that maybe it was never really about Jesus' love to them. Maybe it was about control
