see the THING IS I don't feel like I ever worked hard enough to have "earned" the burnout, which is. probably how we got here.
This is my daughter, Salma, only three months old, born into this "cruel war that has been killing innocent people for two years and is still ongoing." Since her birth, she has felt nothing but fear and hunger, deprived of her most basic rights. She needs food, safety, and a dignified life that every child deserves. Therefore, I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support her and extend a helping hand to save her. Your donation today could make a difference in saving her from certain death. Donate here

“Autism doesn’t cause low empathy! In fact we’re all just hyperempathetic we’re not bad peo-“
SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.
There’s a few things going on with this statement.
1. Assuming that low empathy makes someone a bad person. It does not. Actions are what matter, not empathy levels.
2. Demonizing autistic people whose low/no empathy they attribute to their autism. Autism fundamentally impacts the way you interact with the world, others, and yourself. That includes empathy.
Anyway I love you people with low/no empathy this is a safe space for you <3
Signed,
A very pissed off autistic person with fluctuating empathy levels
happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
Méiche's Hearts
Many will know of the Morrígan, but few would know Méiche, her ill-fated son.
Méiche was born with three hearts that each housed a snake. It was foretold that should these snakes be allowed to live, they would ultimately devour the world. Dían Cécht, the god of healing, took it upon himself to slay poor Méiche, burn his hearts and scatter the ashes in the River Barrow.

Something that is very funny to me is the fact that Lugh is often perceived as a Sun God due to a mistranslation/misunderstanding basically. Christian monks were translating Irish texts and saw that he was referred to as "sun-faced" and thought, "Sun god." It meant attractive. They were calling him good-looking 😅
Why can't we ever use bullshit bioessentialism for fun things
I'll start
When someone starts transfemme transfeminine HRT, they're warned that the breast growth is one of the few irreversible steps, and that it would need surgery to undo.
When someone starts transmasculine HRT, they're told that it won't get rid of their breasts, and that they need surgery to remove.
The standard societal conception of "androgynous" is a waifish, thin, flat chested individual
However, the inability of core gene regulation to reduce boobs, as demonstrated by HRT of many forms, shows that boobs are the natural inclination of the human body
Therefore, I motion that "androgynous" should mean someone with some real honkers. I'm talking some massive badonkers. Some enormous honkalagoogas. Some incredible and vast hadookalabohkadookies
(please don't take this seriously I'm actually studying bio and anyone trying to say something about the "natural" state of things is full of shit okay bye)
I'm a published research scientist you have to believe me
I'm in favour of this. We are mammals. What's a mammal without mammaries?
By the same token, beards require lasers to remove (and are mighty stubborn about it too), but male pattern baldness tends to get at least somewhat reversed by estrogen treatment. So our natural androgynous state is a full head of hair, beard, and breasts.
Other things of note are voice and hips.
So peak androgyny, by this same logic, is massive tits, a packin' ass, luscious hair all over the head, and a deep voice.
if being gay was still in the DSM you people would argue about how you have to be diagnosed with gay or else you're fakeclaiming
White leftist suddenly against cultural preservation after learning it also includes that culture's religion, many such cases
White leftist very aware of the consequences of colonialism suddenly unable to recognize colonial influence the moment it starts to affect spiritual beliefs
Anti-religion is also in like 60% of cases fundamentally just sanist arguments that hurt me more as a psychotic person than they hurt any religious hegemony, they just don't realize they're causing harm because they think they're targeting people with the right labels.
good: the Church/religious body as an institution is a cudgel of absolute power that historically has been wielded to hammer down those who don't conform. these structures have caused real harm to people
neutral: i have religious trauma that has given me a negative relationship with religion.
bad: what kind of CRAZY backwards fuck would let some INVISIBLE THING tell them what to do lol are they fucking stupid, can't they see they can't see anything? i'm happy i'm sooo much more advanced than they are lmao what kind of idiot believes in things they can't see? i have to tell them their reality is fake! i have to!
shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers
i don't care if mondays fucked, tuesday wednesday kiss my nuts, thursday this shit fucking sucks, it's friday im in love
You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong
"But i'm-" there is no identity or state of being that makes you immune to hurting someone. You can be convinced that you are in the right for doing so. You can be convinced that you're defending someone by doing so. You have always got to examine if you're taking pleasure in hurting someone or if you're actually doing something good.
