Neurodivergent Bibliophile

He/him This blog doesn't contain content relating to current atrocities because engaging with them is incredibly dangerous to my mental well-being ❤️

[neurodivergentbibliophile]

My sad lil intro post

Hello! I'm neurodivergent bibliophile (I find "bib" to be the best nickname for that, but anything's on the table other than "nb" or "phile")

I'm transmasc and I use he/him pronouns

Aroace for all intents and purposes (I've got a baggie full of microlabels, but they aren't relevant here)

Biggest diagnoses atm are autism and depression

I would love to be your friend! Message me and we'll give it a shot :)

"DNI" and opinions below, tw for mention of sh

Not technically DNI, because I can't control what you do, but know that I'll block you if you:

are ableist, antisemitic, classiest, fatphobic, homophobic, islamophobic, misogynistic, racist, sexist, transphobic, or xenophobic

encourage self harm or harmful self views (*this is for actively encouraging others, I'm not blocking people for posting about their self harm)

use or promote the use of generative ai

support the removal of people's autonomy

My stance on a few tumblr divides that have come across my dash:

I'm on the side of all trans people, on all points of the gender spectrum. If you try to pit us against each other, get blocked

I think people should be allowed to write or draw whatever they want, full stop. I've been informed that that makes me "pro-ship"

I am on the side of all disabled people. Arguing about visible or invisible privileges is trivial when the system wants to kill us all. (*"arguing" because there are times when discourse is productive, or people raise awareness about their struggles, which is very different from playing oppression olympics)

honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible

[lesbianshepard]

i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”

I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.

[notaflippinmermaid]

No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.

…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.

[midnightmindcave]

mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

[dinosauriaawesome]

I’m sitting with a bunch of archaeologists and we just laughed so hard we CRIED we’re getting tshirts with this on them

[thesaltofcarthage]

I will never ever get tired of seeing bredlik poems. It is really one of the seminal art forms of the century. I am not being sarcastic. 

[wholesome-dragon-lady]

If I ever don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead and archaeologists are licking my bones.

[cryptotheism]

i love the never kill your self meme like yeah joy can be found in humble places peace and love on planet earth

[cryptotheism]

that is the wrong gif

[xkat-holstaur]

never kill yourself. kill that guy

[calamitys-child]

[tongue-twists]

btw dating sucks as a concept.

[tongue-twists]

meeting up with someone with the explicit goal of figuring out whether or not you want a relationship with them spoils the dynamic. it sucks. it's terrible. fall in love with your friends like normal people.

[tongue-twists]

as expected this one is a hit with the autism website

[homunculus-argument]

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.

"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

[talesfromtreatment]

Hell, half the time you don't even need to smuggle. You just show mama cat a little squirming squeaky fluffy jellybean and she's like "oh shit I totally forgot that one thanks!"

We'd get litters in at the shelter sometimes where there'd be like four kittens 6 weeks old and a random 2 week old and we'd all be standing there going "Mom, you stole that one. That's not yours." And mama cat is like "fuck you, finders keepers"

[universeleads]

I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby

[universeleads]

English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son

[overwhelmedfernfrond]

I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”

So. He understood the gta6 meme immediately because they apparently had the same thing in Romania when he was young, except way, way more morbid

[what-even-is-thiss]

Gets abducted by aliens and put in a zoo and slowly figures out how their language works and starts writing swear words on the glass when the alien children walk by

[what-even-is-thiss]

The aliens are like wait you can write and I’m like yeah I can talk too and they’re like why didn’t you say something sooner and I’m like well I figured you wouldn’t let me go since you’re clearly willing to kidnap a sapient being so I’m just taking revenge by making your toddlers more annoying

[what-even-is-thiss]

The aliens are like we didn’t know humans were sapient and I’m like did you miss all of that human civilization literally everywhere and they’re like what and I’m like look at the planet at night and they’re like holy fuck those lights are people we’ve been trapping and releasing people and meanwhile I’ve returned to writing swear words on the glass with my little alien sharpie

[silvergryphonart]

I glare at you from across the enclosure for ruining my alienthropology research by making them aware of being observed

[what-even-is-thiss]

Ignores you and keeps teaching a child that speaks alien sign language all the rude words for alien genitalia through the glass

[silvergryphonart]

Continues to glare with a twitching lip because that’s actually really funny

[pronounyaoi]

dude stop before i develop a strange and powerful fondness for you

[awaiting-my-clearest-skies]

[homunculus-argument]

Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.

Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.

[lovely-blue-galaxy]

Idk but he sounds pretty upset

[storybookprincess]

one of my favorite phrases to pepper into conversation is “i like the way you think! you’re hired!” particularly in contexts where it makes absolutely no sense

barista at the coffee shop recommends a good drink. nurse at the doctors office finds a clever solution to something. my actual boss when she makes a suggestion.

it always hits. hilarious every time

[daily-dropout-screenshots]

they’re like children who need to be on opposite ends of the classroom

[foreveriallyzombified]

shouting “DERIVATIVE!” at an art school kid just walking down the street from a moving vehicle, they break down and sob

[foreveriallyzombified]

okay but if i, a guy driving a car, yell that at somebody walking on the sidewalk, that’s not really an insult, that’s just what they are

[sillayangel]

[sunshinecassette]

For when you say something absolutely horrid in the group chat

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.
