this is my third time making a pinned post let's see how long it lasts this time

you know me, I'm flowers. here's some more stuff you might want to know. I hate using tumblr messenger. I never check it. if you want to talk to me then you gotta use asks. I read all the asks I get. however I may not respond to them all since I'm only one woman. even I can get tired or distracted or run out of things to say

also, I have a tag list! if you see me post about something try looking for the tag there. you will likely be able to find the actual name of the series instead of whatever silly thing I've been calling it

I'm trying to avoid looking at the computer too much so my headache doesn't come back but you know I love to look at the computer more than anything else

just learned that some people used to believe, and some people still do believe, that women with noticeably longer ring fingers than index fingers were probably exposed to androgens in the womb which made them unfeminine man-hating lesbos. and it seems like complete bullshit but the truth is my ring fingers are pretty visibly longer and I AM a feminist shrew. so there could be something to it… (joke)

I had a headache basically all day today and if I have it tomorrow too I will FREAK

it just makes me so crazy that before the construction began we had benches and part of the purpose of the construction is to install more benches but for the rest of the year while the construction is going on we can’t have any benches

[tsunflowers]

they have some new signs at the temporary bus stops downtown directing people to nearby public restrooms that have a big slogan saying “ann arbor is worth the work.” not worth benches though. not worth it to put up a few benches so people can sit down while they wait for the bus just like they used to be able to before you started working so hard

I hope that no gods no mayors can become so famous that mayors worldwide stop acting out for fear they’ll end up on the pod. although a lot of the people they profile would probably get even more pumped up knowing they were mocked on a leftist podcast

I’m putting words in this person’s mouth but the impression I got from their post was “ugh if my neurodivergent kid has neurodivergent teachers they’ll start thinking it’s ok to be neurodivergent”

[tsunflowers]

I try to have some empathy bc there is often a genetic component to these things so parents who feel this way may have repressed the hell out of their own nd tendencies or seen the way other relatives struggled in society and they just want their kid to find success. but the truth is they are hurting themselves and their child at the same time

starting my day by getting mad at a redditor which I know is not healthy for me but it’s too late

[tsunflowers]

someone asked on the ann arbor subreddit about moving their kid to the school for kids with learning differences that my brother went to and the person I’m mad at wrote a lengthy response which included the sentiment “some of the teachers are also neurodivergent :/ so the environment might not help your kid be successful in traditional education later”

fuck you

you have already pulled your kid out of a traditional educational environment bc they were not successful there. free yourself from the mindset that graduating high school and four years of college is the only path to success ESPECIALLY for neurodivergent people

it makes me really mad that they dont seem to want their nd kid to have nd teachers or at least they view the idea with suspicion. you don’t want your kid to have nd adult role models? you don’t want your kid to be around empathetic adults who have faced similar challenges? plus if you’re so big on traditional measures of success, these are neurodivergent adults who have traditionally valued jobs as teachers

traditional education sucks anyway

I forgot to finish my book club book again so I will have to speed through the end tomorrow

Imagine if they actually told you who your blood ends up going into. Like you got an email one day saying 'Hey! Your blood was just tranfused into Joe Smith because he fell off a ladder onto a pointy fence! Why not give him a call?'

I was going to say it's like this if you donate bone marrow but I'm wrong and they only let you contact each other anonymously. you have to give up one of your organs if you want to follow up

marion zimmer bradley’s “darkover” books are also premised on a planet colonized by humans who are then recontacted but i’m not sure the darkovans got “weird” enough to count for your purposes

I'm looking this series up and seeing that they get psychic powers from fucking aliens so I would say that's definitely weird

[tsunflowers]

my problem is that I have a distinctive appearance and I love routines so old men on the bus are always asking me where I work bc they always see me getting on the bus at the same place and the same time

[tsunflowers]

I should remember to share selfies frequently enough that my followers understand why a random person would stop their car to tell me I look like a medieval princess

it's my Mane
