To know how it ends and still begin to sing it again

the inherent eroticism of the university library after dark

[ardentdelirium]

Your university librarians are begging you to resist that eroticism at all costs.

“Me, talking a writer down from imposter syndrome: How long have you been writing?

Them: Three years.

Me: And how old are you?

Them: 28.

Me: Okay.  So you’re a level 28 human and a level 3 writer.  How good were you as a level 3 human?

Them: Oooooooooooh.”

Writer 1: I need to know everything about the characters and plot before I begin.

Writer 2: I’ll write a vague outline but I don’t have enough faith in myself to believe that I’ll actually follow the outline so I won’t put too much effort into it.

Writer 3: I know nothing about this story, so I should probably start writing.

one of the most important things i’ve learned in therapy is that when you’ve experienced prolonged trauma in your childhood, pleasure feels uncomfortable. like, not that you don’t feel it, but that when you do feel it there’s an impulse to make it stop, because it’s extremely unfamiliar. and pleasure can mean many things, as simple as feeling cozy, and as complex as feeling loved. the neural pathways for feeling good have not had a chance to develop, and the neural pathways for feeling bad are quite practiced. feeling good, too, takes conscious practice.

Hey!! I’m super nervous about this but ADHD Awareness Month is winding down and I really wanted to share some information on rejection sensitivity before it ended. This is a defining feature of ADHD that is often overlooked, despite how harrowing it can be for those of us who experience it! My main goal here was to remind my fellow ADHDers that they are not alone!

The transcript version of this guide can be accessed here. 

Lastly, ADDitude Magazine is a great resource for learning more about RSD and other ADHD symptoms. Happy friday!

[ramdaughter]

I’m really glad that this guide’s been well received! I just wanted to clarify that you do not need to have ADHD to experience RSD; it is not unique to us. It’s just that rejection sensitivity is experienced by nearly every ADHDer!

people thinking they’re trans and then deciding they aren’t:

-happens sometimes

-means are in a comfortable enough space where they can question their identity and arrive at a conclusion that works for them

-often find our new things about themselves and how they express and relate to their gender

-doesn’t mean there’s some hidden force trying to make people trans

-is not an excuse to make hrt and surgeries harder to access

-is not a reason to deny trans people a safe, comfortable, supportive environment to be who they are

[trans-advice]

Those Questioning their own gender identity do not invalidate Trans People's existence
