witches in old fairytales had the right idea. living alone, unmarried, in the middle of the woods, and if a hero stumbled across their cottage they’re like “maybe I’ll give you a magical token to help you out. maybe I’ll fuck up your entire life. depends :)”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I REALLY REALLY hope you guys realize neurodivieristy doesn't just start and end up with Austim and ADHD

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

Like it's great people are become aware! And learning more about this But it seems that people only pretend these are the only two and if you don't have these two then I guess you don't count??????

[i.d.: screenshot from wikipedia that reads: The neurodiversity paradigm was taken up first by individuals on the autism spectrum. Subsequently, it was applied to other neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, developmental speech disorders, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysnomia, intellectual disability and Tourette syndrome; and mental health conditions such as bipolarity, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, antisocial personality disorder, dissociative disorders, and obsessive–compulsive disorder.]

okay so I feel a little weird talking about this but i have ADD, no nobody talks about ADD, so whenever I talk about it with others they always end up correcting me by saying “oh you mean ADHD!” ADD and ADHD are not the same, they may have similarities but it doesn't make them the same thing.

[wreckitremy]

The reason people don't talk about ADD, is because it was obsorbed into the ADHD label a while ago.

There is now 3 types of ADHD

Hyperactive

Inattentive

And combination

The last 2 encompass what ADD used to cover in addition to ADHD symptoms.

They were combined, because the separation was unhelpful as many who didn't show outward signs of hyperactivity, were still experiencing symptoms of hyperactivity with their thoughts, and got diagnosed with ADD as a result.

responses to the question “you got a name?”, all of which i have used, especially whilst sleep-deprived and/or not paying attention

“i do!” followed by me not saying my name, ever, at any point

“do you?”

“i have many” no idea what i meant w/ that one like, sincerely, and that was probably deeply unnerving or at least moderately unnerving

“possibly? who knows”

“that sure is.. a question. that has an answer”

“yeah..” followed by uncomfortable laughter

op is surrounded by fae

[questbedhead]

I know I’ve talked about it before but it never ceases to amaze me that the city of Toronto created this labyrinthine series of underground walkways that stretch for kilometres under the heart of downtown and they called it the fucking PATH. like how much more ominous could that even be. It doesn’t even stand for anything it’s just the PATH, all caps. What fucking fae named this artisanal bakery maze.

[questbedhead]

@asimovsideburns​ #it doesn’t even stand for anything????? 

It doesn’t!!! even stand!! for anything!!!

“PATH is downtown Toronto’s enclosed pedestrian walkway linking 29 kilometres of shopping, services and entertainment connecting Toronto Coach Terminal to Maple Leaf Square/Air Canada Centre. The Acronym (PATH) does not stand for anything - just signals that there is a pathway.”

Like I always lose my mind at this. If it doesn’t stand for anything it’s not an acronym Toronto!! Toronto!!!!!!!!!

[longwander]

Copying my tags:

I’m not exaggerating about the part without a ceiling:

This is, by the way, right under Bay & Bloor, dead centre of the city and some of the most expensive real estate in Canada. It radiates an incredible aura of menace.

[questbedhead]

Okay far more poeple have reblogged this than I thought and I just wanted to clarify- the horror of the PATH is not that it all looks like a spooky basement where you’re about to get murdered. There ARE spots like that, but to understand the ~vibe~ of the PATH, you have to understand that it is essentially one very large mall co-designed by like, 70+ different corperations who all have different aesthetics. SO, the PATH looks like that, but it also looks like this

and like this

and like this

and like this

Here’s an entrance to the PATH at Union

And here’s another- also at Union

And here’s another a few blocks away, though tbh I have never been able to enter here because it always seems to be locked, no matter how much I want Wendy’s that day. 

And you’d think these mixed aesthetics would make it easier to navigate, or at least figure out where you are, but again, there are over 70 different entities designing this shit and not one original thought between them. So while you may well know when you step from one property to the next, whatever the look of your current section it’s more than likely they’re a nigh identical section somewhere further just to confound your mortal sense. 

Basically, everyone tagging this with the Magnus Archives is very correct- If any place on earth could be the true domain of the Spiral it’s the PATH, and it’s just a shame Jonny didn’t know about it before the show wrapped up. 

[asymbina]

Oh my God

[ryannorth]

It’s actually a great illustration of the failures of capitalism. The PATH isn’t something designed by the city, instead each building has their own section. And because of that, the signage isn’t just inconsistent, it’s actively hostile to you leaving that section. Every incentive points towards keeping you in that one area and not making it easy to find another building.

Also one time I tried to leave the PATH at night through a small set of double doors and while the doors leading to a small atrium opened, the doors leading to the outside were locked, and had I not caught the first doors before they closed I would’ve been trapped in an unheated 2m square between-space, neither in the PATH nor out of it, overnight

"Why are you so obessed with found family?"

I watched this as a kid and internalized it for forever

[shanastoryteller]

one time i said to my friend “vitamins are fake” and what i meant was “i am dubious about the efficacy and health benefits of over the counter multivitamins” and what she heard was “i do not believe in the existence of vitamins in our food or in the world in general” 

and she nodded very seriously and said “why do you think that?” and halfway through my rant about how necessary is it, really, for something to contain 3000% of your daily requirement she went “oh, good, okay” 

and like, shout out to her, because if one of my friends had told me they thought that calcium was a government conspiracy i would have started roasting them immediately no questions asked

a report by the university of texas at austin came out showing that 80% of people who died in texas jails from covid were not convicted of a crime, 73% of those who died were eligible for parole, and that deaths occurred at 115% the national rate (x)

reminder that criminals don’t deserve death either.

I can’t even tell you how excited I was that they turned this book into a movie and it was good

[silenthill]

I literally have absolutely no complaints with the movie at all. Once, my friend and I did comparisons from the book and the movie, and we found the only major difference was the fact that Stanley wasn’t heavy set when he arrived at the camp in the movie. The majority of the script is raw quotations from the book. This is my favorite book to movie adaptation and it did everything Percy Jackson, Inkheart, and The Golden Compass didn’t.

[yipyap]

yesss this was such a good book and film

[rabidauthor]

And the only reason Stanely wasn’t heavy set was because in the book he loses tons of weight and eventually ends up being almost thin. The director said he didn’t want to force an adolescent boy to lose weight on such a quick filming schedule, and L’bouf’s audition was so spot on, that they decided to go with a thinner Stanely from the beginning
