it’s always “I understand why you have an autism diagnosis now” and not “thank you for explaining the entirety of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to me, I really enjoyed hearing about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster”

project hail mary is a touching and poignant film that leaves you asking questions about humanity like, "wow what if all mainstream media was genuinely good" and "what if book adaptions actually gave a shit about the book in question" and "what if studios hired actors that could actually act, and then let them get a lil wacky with it"

having a female dog that is near-constantly assumed to be male and a male dog that is near-constantly assumed to be female is so funny. i call them my butch daughter and twink son

ever since i was a very young puppy i’ve known i wanted to be crepuscular. or perhaps nocturnal, but crepuscularity just sounds like a delight, honestly

[nonbinaryjudean]

OCD things that you don't hear about:

episodes of paranoia, delusions, and dissociation

cyclical thoughts/spirals

magical thinking

episodes that can be very similar to psychosis or mania

attributing human emotions to inanimate objects

dermatillomania and trichotillomania

false sensations (like bugs crawling on skin)

paying way too much attention to very small things

physical health issues caused by compulsions

symptoms that are "problematic" (doing things that are considered "wasteful", needing reassurance or validation from others...)

extreme, deep, dreadful fear of things that can't truly be explained

disconnect between emotional and cognitive/logical responses or thoughts

contamination fears

problems with addiction and dopamine regulation

other people trying to force exposure therapy onto you without your consent and it making your anxiety way worse

list making

just found this picture from an assignment i did last year

[glasspalacesstoneshop]

I don’t like the U.S. military or their recruitment tactics but I feel very uncomfortable pretending that I’m morally superior to people who join, given the privileges I’ve had. Like am I supposed to pretend that my white ass who’s had six years of higher education paid for by parents who have always made well into six figures am an anti-imperialist queen meanwhile the students who I have worked with who are first and second gen immigrants of color are the greatest evils in the United States? I guess privilege is the experience of keeping your hands clean

Nivrah Bein HaShmashot

nivrah bein hashmashot, or נברא בין השמשות, a Hebrew phrase meaning “created between the suns,” is a term for queer Jewish folks. it refers to the time between the sixth and seventh days of creation, during which g-d created several important things with the connecting theme of not fitting into binaries. nivrah bein hashmashot is an umbrella term for Jewish queerness and queer Jewishness; it can be used by queer Jews of any queer identity and any Jewish denomination! it was first coined here by @magnetothemagnificent, alongside the term ovrim, another umbrella term for queer Jews; for more detail on the thought behind or meaning of either term, check that post out!

color symbolism:

purple: “between”-ness, existing outside of boundaries and norms

dark blue: Jewish faith, culture, tradition, and community

sky blue: optimism, hope, and passion

white: finding joy and euphoria in both queerness and Judaism

spring green: engaging in the act of creation

gold: the richness and diversity of queer and Jewish communities

burgundy: past, present, and future queer Jewish resilience and survival

note: recently, @sillyjewishqueer also created a nivrah bein hashmashot flag, as well as an ovrim flag, both of which can be found here. my nivrah bein hashmashot flag is not meant as a replacement for their design, but rather as an alternative/companion flag for anybody who wants to use it! i actually designed this flag a few months ago, originally just for personal use; i didn’t post it until i was inspired by them to join in on sharing this term and what being nivrah bein hashmashot means to me!!

[yell-hound]

(^ @/fageleh’s tags) oh my g-d it’s so cool to me that my neat lil flag is gonna exist in the real world someday! if/when you make it, would you be willing to tag me or dm me photos?

my personal headcanon is that if Misty Quigley didn’t become a nurse she would be the Mütter Museum’s most enthusiastic employee. She would be THRIVING there i swear to g-d
