Donations post!!!

Hello! I'm Willow and I genuinely hate that I'm making a post like this! It makes me feel like crap! And I am so sorry you have to see this on your dashboard, but if you don't mind at all I'd.. really appreciate you taking a moment to read.

Earlier this month, my family had to drop $3,000+ to pay the water bill, leaving us with no money except for the little paychecks I receive from my work. Unfortunately, we also have to pay a lawyer's bill of $1,500 soon. Like, December 16th soon. We have a sheriff sale on that day. Now we have a lawyer lined up ready to file a "motion of stay", but he needs some form of payment, and I currently only have $176 total in my bank account after I had to give up my own savings to help cover the water bill. I don't get paid until this upcoming Friday, but even the check won't be enough. He'll take half of that payment if necessary, but uh... still far from even half of it, yknow?

I am a 24 year old living with my 65 year old mother who just got out of the hospital after suffering a stroke and two seizures who has memory loss, and my 43 year old sister who is wheelchair bound and needs specialized care. If the motion of stay doesn't get filed, the house will go into foreclosure and we'll all be sent on the streets. Which is terrifying to think about.

I know it's Christmas time, and money is tight for everyone, so please don't feel obligated to donate if you can't. I really don't want to put anyone else in a financial strain. But if you could just share this post around the next few days, that would mean a lot. Again, I am so sorry for putting in on your dashboards, but I don't know what else to do.

Here is a link to my Paypal.

Go to paypal.me/willowwonka18 and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

I will offer doodles if you donate. If you want me to draw you something, hit up my dm's!! Or inbox!! Something!! Hope you have a good day and stay safe out there.

anyone else remember being a child and seeing the very neat handwriting of other little girls and somehow knowing that you were a different genre of person than they were

[lunarconception-deactivated2021]

literally no…i remember seeing bad handwriting & thinking “oh these other kids must be orphans or something”

[meangirlnurse]

fascinating to hear from the other genre, thanks for your contribution

I find it hilarious the ammount of people who are getting into Arcane (the League of Legends show on Netflix) and immediately think "Wow, this is so good! I'd love to try the game after this!"

Then they try LoL and almost immediatley uninstall it because of how toxic the community is

I watched a TikTok movie reviewer give his thoughts on the show earlier today and he was like "I've never played the game before, but I'm gonna start now!" and ALL the comments were people saying stuff like this:

This is probably my favorite comment though

This entire article is eye-opening, even as someone who has ADHD and has read a lot about it already. There's so much more there than just the bit about the glucose-craving brain. SO. MUCH.

This might have been the bit that hit me hardest, actually:

it would be easy to misinterpret the following scenario as a standoff between two partners: Imagine that your partner asks you to pay the electric bill, and you say to yourself, “OK, I have time to do that today.” But when you sit down to do it, you keep getting distracted. The ADHD brain needs higher stimulation in order to complete this rote task with minimal payoff. Your ADHD brain says, “That task is way too boring, and I refuse to focus on it. Find something that interests me more, which offers me a bigger dopamine reward, and I’ll work with you.” It doesn’t matter that you know you should pay the bill as promised; if your brain won’t engage, it’s an ugly standoff. Perhaps, after a day of procrastination — when your partner will be home in 20 minutes and the bill is still unpaid — there may be enough of an adrenaline rush from a sense of crisis that your brain will engage and you pay the bill.

The ADHD brain and its owner are at odds with one another. It’s difficult to compel a disengaged brain to engage by force of will. In fact, much of the treatment for ADHD involves learning to psych out the brain, so that it will attend to necessary, low-stimulation tasks.

Appreciating the tug-of-war within that pits intellect against neurobiology increases compassion and acceptance for one’s hidden struggle.

I feel SEEN. OTZ

Seriously, though. Read the whole thing. It's a good one.

This is why having ADHD and Diabetes at the same time means my body is constantly at war with itself.

currently enjoying the stage of recovery where I have enough self esteem to get pissed off

[teaboot]

Other sweet and sexy psych recovery milestones:

1. I can say the words "abuse", "trauma", and "flashback" out loud without feeling like a guilty liar

2. I'm angry and I don't feel bad about it

3. Accidentally discovered a personal boundary halfway through asserting it

4. I said something confident as a joke and someone agreed with me

5. Oh shit I *enjoy* things

6. I'm angry and it feels really really good

7. I genuinely think this person is a moron and I have no desire to rationalize their stupid choices

8. I'm a good person, actually

9. Just realized that the minor thing I thought I was upset about is actually a placeholder for the really old thing I'm *actually* upset about and suddenly the new thing isn't such a big deal

10. "Same trauma!" *fist bump*

11. Self-deprecation makes me uncomfortable, actually

12. Fuck it, I deserve nice shit I don't need

13. I fucked something up and I'm not a bad person, literally just moving on

14. Wild that I don't feel like apologizing

15. This thing that gave me a panic attack once is only uncomfortable now, fuckin righteous

16. I'm ugly in public cause I don't need to impress anyone and I literally do not care

17. Hey Bitches Who Wants To Hear An Opinion

18. Oh! People like me!! Wild!!!

"That sounds like a good idea......."-"Is there something bothering you with the idea?"-"No, the idea is GOOD.....🙂"

[biteswhenprovoked]

Can someone explain this to me?

[cop-disliker69]

Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.

And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.

So an old person could type something like:

how are things going with your “boyfriend”….

and what they mean is

How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]

But a young person would interpret that sentence as

How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]

The linguistic difference across generations is beautifully explained here thank you
