Call for help
hi guys,
last week, my partner found a stray kitten with a ruptured left eye, and an infected right eye. We're now raising funds to help this kitten, whom we've named Bowie, get the necessary things he needs to live with us.
Sharing and donating would mean the world!
Hi, I’m Luke. Recently, my partner Hartley found a kitten from a stray cat he… Luke Buyers needs your support for Help Us Give Kitte
Any Wanderhome players on here? I want to get more into it. I am loving it so far. I grew up on Wind In the Willows so that explains it lol.
tragedy in four words
Investigations 2, never localized
The thing with Tourette’s is, I live in fear. Every time I leave the house, I fear I will tic and someone will get offended/upset, or they’ll call the police, thinking I’m intoxicated. I fear that I’ll call cops “pigs” or oink at them, and instead of laughing they’ll claim I was being uncooperative.
I fear that life will always be rough - for this world is not built for people who are “different”. And ultimately, people with Tourette’s are seen as the odd ones out.
Growing up, once I started showing signs of TS, and Autism, I was dropped by everyone. I started getting rage attacks, causing me to start pushing people away - and I didn’t know what was happening, because nobody speaks about those symptoms of Tourette’s; they just talk about the swearing.
I got diagnosed on the 10th of December 2021, after years of confusion, and as thankful as I am for having the diagnosis - I also hate it. I hate that I live with this condition that, at least for now, is incurable. I hate that people think I just use it as an excuse to hurt people. I hate that the rage attacks make me think I use it as an excuse. I hate that it’s such an easy thing to accept happens, and that it’s not “just swearing” (or “just kids not having been brought up properly”), but people still hurt others with Tourette’s for their uncontrollable actions. Most of all, I hate that people think I’m faking it for attention.
If I could get rid of the disorder, whilst still keeping all of my life experience I’ve gained from it, I would. But for now, here we are.
me: I hope I actually finish my poto reread instead of just getting three chapters in and forgetting about it
also me, three chapters into the reread: I should try les mis letters this year!
One thing I think non-Tourettic people don't/won't understand is the genuine terror that comes with being Tourettic/having Tourette's.
Like, yes, it's a neurological condition so we can't control it but people don't care about that. There's a genuine fear that I experience - and I know other Tourettic people do too - where what if we tic the wrong thing around the wrong person and they lash out.
Especially for my friends with Corprolalia (tics that are socially unacceptable - stuff like swearing, slurs, but also stuff like ticcing and calling someone fat, or ugly) where they have more of a risk of saying, say, the n-slur around someone who really doesn't like when people say that, and they react to that violently.
We have a risk of getting seriously hurt just because we have a neurological disorder that causes us to spout words we can't control.
It fucking sucks and Tourette's isn't this cute, fun disorder where we can "say whatever". There are real-world consequences for tics.
need more 70s/80s/90s musical theater in my life....
I want to listen to more goth bands but there's two issues
I'm not sure what qualifies as a "goth band"
No one else seems to be sure either
So I just have been listening to more bands in general, maybe some of them will be goth.
