11 years ago i got so freaked out because when i'd read i kept misreading stuff in, like, shocking ways. i would not be able to understand sentences because words would be missing. i'd read them over and over and then suddenly the word would be there again. my vision was blotting out words or letters, like they were just page-colored. so i went to get an eye exam and my eyes were fine and i went to a regular doctor appt and the doctor was then unconcerned bc my eyes were fine so "nothing" was happening. anyway this still happens and it's a fucking NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEM because i have a NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION that every doctor at that time was aware of and ... didn't care? idk it's not like they could fix it but could no one have said "oh yeah that's your migraine disease it's just another symptom" ???? psa seeing weird shit all the time isn't normal and mine is getting worse.

there is no amount of language learning that is useless. I think it obviously scales up in wonderfulness as you learn more, but even just being at the point where you can recognize what language is being spoken or written is still a more useful thing than not knowing that. it is lovely to say hi to people in their language! any attempt to learn is important. you don't get fluent overnight. and you don't have to get fluent overnight. more knowledge is better than none. it isn't just all or nothing.

I Am Not In Trouble - Sticker by RayneKlar

[lovrboyx]

The Last Unicorn really said “There will be times when you can’t find other people like you and there will be times where you'll wonder if you're really the only person experiencing the world as you are and others will even try to take advantage of you through commodification and exploitation to the point where it starts to dilute your own sense of self and will make you question if you were ever you to begin with but it’s important for to resist the urge to assimilate and find community because there will always be people like you who will understand and have experienced these same things and the only way to combat a dark world who wants to smother your light is to FIGHT FIGHT RAGE AGAINST THE RED BULL DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT OCEAN.”

And I just think there’s something beautifully and inextricably queer about that
