Celestial Oak I painted this over a month ago and totally forgot to post it lol

I love the idea of each acorn containing it's very own universe 🌌 I've also been designing some acorn lanterns, photos coming soon!

my fav relationship ship dynamic is where it doesn't matter if you call it platonic or romantic or queerplatonic because they always act the same in every type of relationship. and the way they act? fucking weird.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

I have one bit of advice that applies to basically all adulting tasks: work with the brain you have, not the brain you think you should have.

Have to make a scary phonecall, and cuddling a toy would make it easier but you feel like that's stupid? Doesn't matter! Cuddle the toy!

Need to use a planner but you keep forgetting it? Literally tie it to your bag!

Dishes keep piling up and becoming insurmountable so then you just don't do them and your eating gets worse? Only keep an amount of dishes you can ACTUALLY feel able to clean around. Everything else goes away, or someplace inconvenient, so there are never too many dishes to clean.

It doesn't matter if a cope is silly, childish, or excessive. This is how you can do it so this is how to do it. You don't have to do things the way someone with a different brain does them. Screw "willpower". Work smarter, not harder, even if working smarter means doing something that might seem a little dumb.

“Being aromantic and asexual sounds nice. You can skip all of the drama.”

That would be true if society reacted normally to childless single people or anyone else that doesn’t fulfill their expectations of a stereotypical relationship. The way things are now, the drama just comes from a different angle. Amatonormativity is a prison.

Mentally making a cup of tea and giving a gentle forehead kiss to every struggling writer on my dash right now.

Your story matters, your ideas are good, and someone out there is going to fall in love with your world.

i feel like 2026 is the year of aro and ace positivity because i have never seen THIS much support and love for aromanticism and asexuality before this year like even ignoring the years of extreme aphobia ive experienced this is still WAY more than im used to. im so happy. i hope it stays this way. we need more aro and ace positivity

I see a lot of folks defending their vitriolic repugnance towards toddlers with cries of "but my sensory needs!" as if children are not also in possession of sensory needs. As if you, an adult here on Tumblr.com, do not have the capability and resources to learn the skills or acquire aids for coping with competing access needs. Or, y'know, just the option to leave, the way children most often do not.

You're holding an actual child to higher standards than you hold yourself, but it's the child that should be removed from public and community spaces. For your comfort.

Go fuck yourselves.

"autistic/ADHD website!!" they cheer, idly shoving small children forcefully back into the torment nexus they had themselves previously escaped from.
