… and here is a gift for all of us.

[nerdy-as-heck]

Bringing the twitter content over to tumblr again, send asks

[faebirdie]

just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.

for those of you who don't know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.

autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie 'inspiring' and important' and it's absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.

💛 - your local actually autistic pal

p.s. please, please reblog if you aren't autistic.

[myanmarupdates]

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

….holy shit. You found the holy grail.

[whitmanic]

I wish people understood that nb people gendering themselves and playing around with gendered terms and letting their friends gender them is like…. Different than a stranger gendering you. Because with a stranger, I have no idea how you’re navigating my gender, other than that you’re calling me by limiting terms and judging me based on those limited terms. Whereas with myself and my friends like….. I know them calling me a queen or king or boy or bitch or whatever… They Get It and they Know what I am so they aren’t limiting me, they’re playing in the space that is gender. So, I guess bottom line is: if you’re a stranger, stop assuming you can gender and label people who you don’t know.

[bonnieparkerofficial]

This is disheartening. It’s one of the shows that helped bond me and @myslightobsessions and help us get through quarantine. Give us diversity and give people the chance to watch shows/movies about different people and their lives. It’s an important show.

PS: I know disney sucks and took it off disney plus, but it’s also on Hulu for anyone who wanted to watch it

[myslightobsessions]

there’s like ??? barely anything in it ??? honestly i see literally no reason why they couldn’t have kept it on disney+. tbh i think children SHOULD watch this. i know i’m more or less preaching to the choir on this site but kids need to be subjected to non-heteronormative relationships and there’s no such things as “being too young for it”

Find your match: tag game

Hi lovesies, I kinda had an idea, after taking this test I found on @matstegen blog, about Creative Types.

So, I found out that, out of the eight possible creative personalities, I’m a thinker (the description totally suits me, btw lol). And I thought “How cool would it be if among my lovely mutuals I could find the other seven personalities that match and complete mine?”

So here I am, starting this ‘tag game’…

Rules:

Take the test

Reblog this post with what type you got

Tag 7 mutuals to do the same!

Let’s find our matches people!

I’m tagging: @sweetgcreature @its-a-metephor-brian @bohemiandelilah @gottabecool-relax @instantezra @radio-ha-ha @littledarlingwellaway cause they are my squad, but if you want to try and do this, you’re more than welcome!

Xx 💖

PS: my matches would be Adventurer and Visionary

[skateme2yokohama]

eeek thank u for the tag elle [ @kodzusamu ] <3

i am a visionary—and my ideal match would be a thinker. tbh i think these results were pretty accurate :)

tagging. @straymackerel @narcoticwriter @shozaii @suehiro @moonlitspring @iwaizoom @yokelish @masked-buffoon @bokutosworld @myucchu @peoplecallmeanerd

[yokelish]

I’m a maker. Even this test tells me to connect with my emotional side. Ew.

Tagging: @thecrazychatlady @the-wholesome-ranpo @natsukashi-hibi @semipieold @kinkybandages

[kni-quil]

Visionary. Which makes me feel slightly as if I’ve got my head in the clouds, but, well, eh. I liked the last question. Writing is madness.

No Pressure Tags: @canned-chili-peaches @xxxsoukokuxxx @just-your-average-supervillain @pluto-boy

[poseiben]

Thinker, which is. frankly a massive callout that i dislike greatly.

@roj0riot join us

[himbroj0]

i too am a thinker

this chain is like my bloodline. it dies with me

[twi-lonk]

I’m an artist! My match would be the Producer!

@pitxroxas @motimoccablog @fantaizies @mangobxbbletea @nayrusprincess @metalfatalerror @jaycelaator have fun! ^^

[helm-splitt3r]

I’m a thinker and my match is the adventurer! @whirlisstupid @ anyone else

[dyventus]

Yall, I’m an artist. And like,,,, I am actually an artist so like… Guess it makes sense. If any of you are a producer, lmk.

[nyxxphantom]

I’m a Dreamer, not surprised. My match is an Innovator, I’m a match for

[xylem-sap]

I got a Dreamer

Match is innovator

@miraculous-stardust @seekingseven @sarcasticmudkip @matchamabs @junietuesday @idiotic-canadian @kittybitty-3214

[sarcasticmudkip]

I got the Dreamer, and I best collaborate with the Innovator. 

The world is a place of beauty and magic in the eyes of a DREAMER. Where others see facts and figures, you see symbols, metaphors, and hidden meanings… 

You’re naturally drawn to express your inner world through literary pursuits, music, and the visual arts. Think of yourself as the “magical realist” of the creative types: like the literary masters of that genre, you naturally infuse your everyday life with the beauty and wonder of the imagination

I…am not tagging seven people because the confidence doesn’t kick in until 2pm at least :p but feel free to hop in

[mikithewooloo]

I got the artist, i work well with producers :p

@giosprey @scarletteflamerald @soupfriend @gayfeministbroadwayyeet @wisewerewolf @thelovelyjessie

[wisewerewolf]

I’m the dreamer. Which is perfect because I love to dream. And sleep. Especially love sleeping

@velvetwood @diabloindigo @adoras-jacket @yeio40000 @lesly-oh or anyone else who wants to do it too.

[yeio40000]

I got Thinker and my match is the adventurer

@maritasdump @ayyyyysexual @adoras-last-braincell @amitylesbian @little-amity @orkboidraws and anyone else who wants to

[maritasdump]

I got The Adventurer and my match is The Artist… So artist if you’re out there

This.

This is why people who stay in my life are neurodiverse like me!

[radiofaraday]

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

[lotrlocked]

Peaking early and feeling like an eternal failure ever since

Remembering what it felt like to be motivated and at the top of your game and you could do ten things at once and cared so much, but now it’s a struggle to keep up with anything

~depression~

~functional depression~ so you feel like you are faking it

Holding a mediocre job and feeling unfulfilled but feeling like you aren’t good enough to do anything else

Being book smart but struggles with social skills and communication with others.

Feeling like you are the worst person on earth for making a mistake or not knowing something

[1000fandoms]

[lookimtryingmybest]

Also other students dismissing your efforts because you’re “smart”.

Also your family members dismissing your efforts because your “smart”.

Even some teachers do that.

[eggastential-biscuits]

Thank you.

[nakiteers]

• all of your fellow students/ siblings getting a reward for each A and never getting recognized for your work because “it’s an expectation”

• the one (1) time you make a mistake the rest of the class with never let you live down

• if you struggle in a subject it seems like you just don’t care even if you work really hard and still barely get a b
