Brain Dump

Basically a heap for my brain goblin to play around in and add to at its leisure

[eccentricwallflower]

My cat definitely loves me. Last night I fished her out from under my bookcase with a coat hanger, and when she then hid behind my guitars she came when she was called and demanded cuddles. She's adorable.

i dont care (this affected me deeply and made me cry for several hours)

[cryptidjeepers]

I hope random brands turn their logo rainbow for no goddamn reason. I hope they do it even if its a desperate bid to seem supportive. I dont fucking care if its shallow. Bud light made a limited edition rainbow can and white men with big trucks took machine guns on them. Target runs a line of admittedly cringe rainbow merchandise and is the subject of domestic terrorism. A random company going rainbow for a month is shallow but its showing the people that want to kill us that they can't win. The pride flag will be everywhere and itll piss them off and theres nothing they can do about it. No matter how much violence and hatred they dish out, they'll be too many goddamn companies to boycott, to threaten. You dont have to buy shit from them, just use rainbow capitalism against them.

After many years of struggles with mental health, after 3 high schools in nearly as many years and eventually dropping out, after countless tears shed, after getting knocked down more times than I thought I could get back up, I have made it.

I have enrolled in a TAFE course (kind of like American community college, I think), and recently finished my first unit of study.

I am moving forward. I am healing. I am doing something with my life; something I would have thought impossible 18 months ago.

I know it's hard. Trust me, I've been there. I've seen 3 psychologists and 2 psychiatrists. And it's not easy. Moving forward is one of the hardest things I have done, and it continues to be the hardest thing I will ever do. But I encourage everyone to move forward. For yourselves.

It's going to be hard. It's going to be painful. And you'll find yourself wanting to give up. *But that's okay*. It's okay to fall over. It's okay to curse and groan and complain. It doesn't matter how you pick yourself up, as long as you do.

Ask for help. Demand it if you need to. Know that you are worth it, and you deserve to have peace, ambition, love, and life.

My lovely snuggle buddy in the unseasonable cold snap. I live in Australia, and usually at this point in the year it's basically already summer. But, the weather has turned freezing, probably in no small part due to the heavy rainfall and flooding happening in my area. Hoping everyone in the Central West is staying dry and safe!

Came home from a 2.5 week holiday and my cat has been my shadow ever since

[generallyunskilled]

Autistic summer hell

Trying to sleep. Get under covers. Too hot and uncomfy. Take covers off. Lack of The Weight is also uncomfy. There is no middle ground.

[autistic-bibliophile]

YES THIS

[ink-and-infected-papercuts]

wait wait wait. guys. cooling blankets are a thing, right? what if someone made a cooling weighted blanket??

[autistic-bibliophile]

YOU’RE ONTO SOMETHING @ink-and-infected-papercuts

I SHALL DO SOME RESEARCH

[autistic-af]

I just roll my weighted blanket into a burrito and lay it across my lower back (I'm a belly sleeper). I get the weighted feeling somewhere on my body but no heat on hot nights.

[eccentricwallflower]

There's actually such thing as woven weighted blankets. Usually they're made from heavy material in a loose woven fashion. This way heat can get through and you don't get as hot. I also find the weight is more evenly distributed and that the weight falls around my body more closely.

Hand Woven Weighted Blanket

This hand woven weighted blanket uses a stunning cotton and polyester blend to apply an evenly distributed pressure across your entire body.

Here's a link to the website I got mine on. They are expensive, but in my mind they are definitely worth it.

The only time my two pets have ever cooperated. Note that approximately 2 seconds after I took this photo the cat slapped the dog in the face. This is not an unusual occurrence.

I'm AFAB and I have identified as non binary for the best part of a year. Having the time to reflect on myself after putting a pause on school, I have a question for gender diverse folk out there.

What does gender feel like?

I know it sounds a bit weird, but hopefully I can clear it up. So, I often feel aligned with masculine things. I like the idea of being referred to as a man and when anyone uses masculine pronouns when referring to me I feel giddy. I feel more authentic wearing a binder and masculine clothes, and dream of getting top surgery one day. Is this a feeling of gender? Is it just a preference?

I've never really had anyone to talk to about this growing up in a tiny Christian dominated town. If anyone out there is kind enough to lend their thoughts or advice, I would really appreciate it.

you think you’re faking?

you think you’re faking depression? oh ok, then you know, stop being sad. it’s a conscious choice to fake, so just stop it. get off tumblr, stop reblogging sad shit, and be happy. let’s see how that’ll work out for you. if you think you’re faking, you can stop doing it right now. 

you think you’re faking anxiety?oh ok, then stop being nervous. if you start feeling like you can’t breathe then just stop it. if you really didn’t have it, you could do that. but can you stop?

oh, you think you’re faking ADHD? oh ok,you have 2 weeks of incomplete homework,so just do it. what’s stopping you? what’s blocking you? if you didn’t have it why can’t you just start writing right now? just stop. 

you think you’re faking an eating disorder? oh ok, then go to the kitchen right now, yes, right now, and eat. DON’T count calories, don’t obsess over it, don’t puke it up, finish the whole thing. why can’t you do it? nobody’s stopping you.

this applies to all mental illnesses. there is reason why your brain is giving you these thoughts, ‘’you’re fakingggg!!’’, it’s hard to become aware of how ill you are, your brain is trying to cope in the best way it can, by pretending you’re fine. but it’s ok to not be ok. you are not faking, even if you were subconsciously faking somehow (which almost never happens), the pain is real and valid and you deserve and need help. everytime you feel like you’re faking, keep all of this in mind. 

you can try to save this post or write it somewhere, or screenshot it when you feel bad. 

please, reblog and boost this, more people need to hear it. you deserve to heal and be happy and ok. if yall like this I’ll make more~

So this is something that's been bothering me for a long time and I just wanted to get some neutral opinions:

I'm medically exempt from wearing masks as per the laws of my state because I'm autistic and the sensations from masks mess with my sensory sensitivities, and anything akin to the feeling of wind on my face triggers anxiety and sometimes flashbacks due to a massive storm that went through my town a couple of years ago (I will explain in detail if it is requested).

The point is, I don't wear a mask. And I have medical certificates to present when questioned (never had to use them, thank god). But! I still get really irritated when people don't wear masks properly. As in, not covering noses and mouths. I don't judge others who don't wear masks full stop if I don't know why, but I do judge those who don't wear them properly.

I just want to ask if this makes me a hypocrite. I mean, I would willingly wear a mask if I could, but there were too many times before I looked into state laws when I had anxiety attacks and came dangerously close to meltdowns.

Please be kind in any feedback/opinions you give! I honest to God don't want to offend anyone or make it seem like I'm looking for praise, I just want to get some neutral opinions.

God bless all of yall and stay safe ❤

After many failed attempts, I finally documented my cat sitting for raw meat

[eccentricwallflower]

As it is now the time of year where most who celebrate Christmas have at least started their tree, I have some advice. This is for people who own cats, but it may work for other mischievous animals.

My cat had her first Christmas with us last year, and being the curious thing that she is, she stole a lot of ornaments off the tree.

However, we quickly found out that cats don't like citrus. So, to keep curious kitties off the tree, put a few drops of orange essential oil and a few drops of lemon essential oil in whatever base liquid you prefer (we used coconut water). Spray around the base of the tree, and soon the cat will ignore it completely! At least, that's what happened with our cat.

The best thing is it doesn't take a lot of essential oil, so the recipe is basically as much as you find pleasant. It's also not toxic, so no worries if the cat does happen to sniff some.

I am also hypothesising that the oil lasts very long. To my parents and I the tree doesn't even have a hint of smell since we put it up, but the cat still ignores it. Maybe last years citrus spray was enough to deter her? Or maybe she can still smell the citrus. We shall never know.

Either way, thought this might be helpful for cat owners that would like their Christmas tree to stay in one piece. Happy holidays, and good luck!

[eccentricwallflower]

Just a thought, but wouldn't recipe blogs be more popular if they had the recipe first *then* the blog entry that goes for 7 paragraphs? It just makes more sense to me that you would have the recipe front and centre for those who only want the recipe, and then those who want the story can scroll to their hearts content. I'm probably missing the point here.
