knowing that the past tense of "hang" is "hanged" when it's a method of execution can be very entertaining because you'll be watching a horror movie and someone goes "local legend says a woman was hung in these woods" and you're like "👀 good for her I guess"

you can post on tumblr even when you're trying to take a break from social media it literally doesn't count. it's like pepsi max, or pescatarianism

The thing I keep getting stuck on with “addiction” discourse is that people will point to criteria like “using more than you want to / wanting to stop or cut back and being unable to” as if that settles the matter.

In the abstract? Sure. If someone is unhappy with their own habits and wants support changing them, they should be able to get that support.

But that’s often not how this plays out socially.

Often, nobody actually asks, “Are you okay with how much you’re using this?” It becomes “I don’t like how much you’re using this, so it’s a Problem, and if you say you’re okay with it, that just means you’re in Denial.”

At that point, the person’s own distress and agency have disappeared from the conversation. The observer’s discomfort has been laundered into a diagnosis.

That’s the part I object to. Not the idea that people can use or do things more than they want to. Obviously they can. I object to the bait-and-switch where language that’s supposedly about someone’s own sense of loss of control gets turned into a tool for other people to override their self-knowledge.

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and i'm not an authority, but i'm glad i'm not alone in this<3

why are scissors packaged the way they are it’s like they’re taunting us. Oh wow this is such a difficult awful packaging to get through that seems to cause physical damage to your hands as some sort of sick self defense mechanic, if only i had something to help get through it, something sharp perhaps

what sort of sick twisted game is it trying to play here
