showering:
pros: you get to feel clean. you get non greasy hair, non oily feeling skin, it just in general makes you feel better, more energised, refreshed.
cons: there are so many steps. oh my god are there so many steps. before getting into the shower there are steps. during the shower there are steps. and once youve gotten out of the shower? guess what!!! more fucking steps!!!!!!!! UGHHHH
i had to draw her she's so nostalgic
If you see someone with a really bad fandom take, Iâm begging you to open your emails and write a strongly worded missive to your local government official about something bad happening in your community or country.
If youâre in Canada you could email a rep about concerns about Elon musk interfering in our next federal election.
If youâre in the US the list is endless.
If youâre in the UK you could email about trans health care.
If youâre in Australia, what about dental care in Medicare?
If youâre in Europe, look into some EU initiatives of particular concern. Perhaps something to do with nature and biodiversity? Idk
Just today I emailed my local mla about coal mining in the Rocky Mountains and tomorrow Iâm going to pick something else and do it again
Donât get me wrong I love a fandom wank as much as anyone but perhaps you can take an iota of the energy youâre spending on that and put it towards making sure your elected representatives hear from you on a regular basis
Honestly this seems like a legit mental health emotional de-escalation strategy. New grounding technique just dropped and it's going to revolutionize the world at the rate I see bad takes as a regular tag scroller
shirt that says IF YOU LIKE ME YOU HAVE TO TELL ME EXPLICITLY. the back says I AM IMMUNE TO SOCIAL CUES.

walks out of a room covered in lipstick kisses with a thousand yard stare
did you parents have 'the talk' with you
yes
no
nuance button i guess
ngl for lot of my life i thought parents sitting their kids down and telling them how babies are made was just a thing they made up for comedies on tv so now im curious how common it actually is.
I saw some snippet of a callout post for an autistic trans woman where they list social faux pas she committed, and I think we allistic people should all feel 100x more ashamed of not telling people in the moment how we feel about what they're doing. I think its extremely evil and cruel to not only lie to an autistic person and blame them for it but also to feel justified shaming them for your behavior. And it's currently the social norm to do that
Everytime we as allistic people sit and force a smile or sigh and act subtly grumpy or otherwise lie to an autistic person's face about how we feel about what they did it is in fact Our Fault that we are enduring whatever the autistic person is daring to try and share with us. You can literally say something out loud directly. The literal structure of our social existence will always traumatize autistic people unless you can give a fuck enough to consider it isn't their fault that you didn't communicate with them
Even I couldn't understand this until my wife was in tears because I had internalized the idea that it was her fault that people were uncomfortable in a conversation where no one told her they were uncomfortable and blamed her for it. Allistic people punish autistic people for so many Percieved slights, or even decide together afterward what exactly the slight was and then make their collective judgment behind the autistic persons back. Not only do we get the benefit of communicating nonverbally through obtuse social cues the autistic person can't parce, we then get to say that we weren't going behind their back because we all did those social cues they are too disabled to understand Right in front of them. No, what you did was choose to suppress your feelings and then reap the social benefits of being in on the discomfort.
Super agree with the above, and it brings to mind a thing I see a lot that really bugs me.
The idea that those perpetrating abuse 'don't really love you.' As though *Abuser* is some special category of person that lacks normal human emotions. And when you internalize that idea too fully it makes it very easy to classify someone's actions as 'not really abuse' because you can tell that they genuinely care about you to it *can't really* be abuse.
It doesn't matter if they love you or not. It matters that their behavior is harming you.
one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kidâą is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.
DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOUâRE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.
One of my college professors used to say âanything worth doing is worth doing poorly.â I didnât understand that for years because I didnât do anything poorly, I couldnât do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.
But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible. Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I donât have the energy to go anywhere.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly⊠because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.
someone please hit me over the head with this post every day for like the next week thanks. a mention, a reblog with text, a message, something.
uh oh! one of your organs has mysteriously vanished! Spin this wheel to find out which one!
HOW DEAD ARE YOU?
literally instantly dead
not immediately dead, but theres no hope
MAYBE you have time to make it to a hospital, no guarantees you survive
you can get medical help and survive, but itll be rough
youll recover and should be able to go back to a mostly normal life after this
not bad at all you might not even notice
somehow youre doing better now?????
you already dont have this organ
me when the chronic pain is chronic and painful:
inside each tumblr blogger is a smaller, freakier blogger who only gets released on the occasional 2am mental breakdown
just found this and now iâm googling self lobotomy
2025 glow up
Drink water
Fraternize with no one. Live in complete isolation so as not to risk being disappointed ever
take walks
Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?
actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly canât help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.
and he paused for a second and then said, âwhen youâve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasnât true.â
listen weâre never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.
to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.
Me: oh boy I canât wait to have a cool jacket
The hungry and voracious sewing machine: CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CH
@luxlightly I wanna meet your junki deathmetal ultrafuck, they sound capable of sewing me a tool pouch.
It's a Juki TL-2000Qi semi-industrial sewing machine and it can probably sew through solid steel.
It does exactly two things, a forward straight stitch and a backward straight stitch, and you'll be GODDAMN grateful it even lets you do that. You want to do zig zags? Get fucked.
Threading it takes about 10 steps and feels like trying to defuse a bomb. It's got a side fed bobbin case that takes an additional 3 or 4 steps to thread. If it's not sharp or strong enough, it'll snap through a heavy duty needle and without even slowing down, no matter stopping, sending the tip flying through the air at speeds capable of sending a piece of straw through a telephone pole. It's compatible with exactly 0 of any other parts from any other brand machine except sometimes needles and it has a palpable air of bloodlust surrounding it.
But it'll sew through 4 layers of denim like a hot knife through butter.
sewing machine fandom has some terrifying blorbos
