Hai internet friendlies! Thanks for finding little old meeee...

I'm just a shy thing, aspiring to draw and play (or make) music, though awfully slow at it. I'm 18, autistic & ADHD, and bisexual. I'm still quite shy about it, but you can consider me bigender, too. I have a hard time using the mixed pronouns myself, so no worries on calling me whatever's comfortable!

I primarily reblog here on tumblr, and you'll see my drawings once in a blue moon. I am absolutely terrible at socializing, whether on here, discord, or anywhere else, so please: feel free to message me first!

While I have such bad executive functioning that my hobbies are more like occasional interests, I enjoy most forms of making art, playing piano, video and board games, as well as singing! (I'm told I have a large vocal range, last testing said from E♭2 to F5)

I have a very weak social filter from my lack of socializing as a child, which means I want to be very cuddly with my friendses! But also may casually discuss negative or gross topics, before I realize that they can be seen as such. Sorry in advance, and beware of whatever topics I may talk about at random. Also, beware of hugs n' cuddles >:3

Okay, that should be it, everyone go have fun on the internets!

i feel like infantilisation is a very bad way to act towards even kids like its just really mean??? for no reason??? minors as a whole just never seem to be taken seriously and i feel like absoultely everyone ought to have their voices heard and taken seriously like if someone doesnt know stuff just be nice and explain it?? like a normal person??????? or help them do things they wanna do????????????

[phosphor-cat]

theres so much i wanted to do as a kid and i never got to do it bc no one actually gives a shit what u say as a kid and it were so frustrating and i lost all hope in adults actually behaving nicely, at least now not being at school people are actually being helpful more so im seeing that people arent bad whenever im outside but like ???????? be nicer to people if theyre struggling with stuff???

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

please stop reblogging sylvia plath poetry 

[thorndykes-deactivated20161204]

For ppl asking why she’s an anti black, anti Semite. She has used the n word and compared her depression to the holocaust

[transwolvie]

Even not counting her poetry her private journals are full of disgusting, overblown antisemitism. She didn’t just use Jewish people for her metaphors, she outright hated them irl and yet decided to use their suffering for her own gain

[foulserpent]

here’s a source with some quotes

[meta-hemeralism-blog]

okay, I’m Jewish and I appreciate this sentiment. and if someone wants to cut out Sylvia Plath, go for it, I get it.

But. by this logic we’d also need to stop reblogging TS Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Shakespeare quotes. Virginia Woolf wrote anti-semetic things in her private journals, too. If you only want to read classic poets who liked Jews and black people, that’s fine, but like. good luck? Sylvia Plath isn’t an exception.

idk. Tumblr’s attitude of “consume nothing problematic” just doesn’t work if you’re part of a group that most culture-creators over the last few centuries have hated by default. For people actually in those groups, it’s not like the only two choices are 1) worship authors who hate you or 2) completely cut the majority of literature out of your life. You learn to read critically and acknowledge flaws where you find them.

anyway, as a Jewish woman, I would much rather see a version of this post that said “please read Sylvia Plath poetry critically because she’s anti black and antisemetic” than just “stop reblogging Sylvia Plath poetry.”

IMO, reblog Sylvia Plath all you want, just not unthinkingly.

[theroguefeminist]

I’m reblogging this now because I’m seeing anti-Virginia Woolf discourse lately due to the antisemitism in her journals and like… as a Jewish person who loves Virginia Woolf’s writing and an English teacher who knows that pretty much every writer of the classics is Problematic just…chill pls

[benevolent-atrophy]

The point isn’t to never consume media that isn’t ideologically pure. That’s never the point. Were that the goal, we would NEVER be able to consume any media. Nothing is ever ideologically pure, especially as time goes on and our social consciousness expands.

We should be telling people instead, “Be critical as you read this person’s work. They held bigoted views. Understand how that is reflected in their work, and be mindful of it. Be critical, be thoughtful”

Compelling others to not engage with something at ALL on ideological grounds is in the same vein as burning books. We should be compelling others to be critical and mindful, not narrow and willfully ignorant.
