the thing about misogyny is that nothing makes apparent how prevalent it is faster than just pointing out misogyny, which will have people scuttering out of the damn sewers like ninja turtles to accuse you of being an overly sensitive shit-stirring know-nothing who's making up things to be offended about. which is actually also pretty misogynistic, but if you point it out people will come scuttering out of the damn sewers—

There's also "happy timezone," which means something like, "I know approximately how many time zones we are apart but I forget whether I count backwards or forwards so I give up."

I don't know who needs to hear this but... start living. The days are flying by and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. Enjoy what you can like walks, sunsets, music, laughter. Joy doesn't have to be expensive. You deserve it.

Guys, I can promise you that a bunch of the time you’re not even saying the wrong thing or missing a social cue, some people are just jerks or even just feeling contrary at the moment.

Like I genuinely know more Neurodivergent people who follow the strict regime of what society views as acceptable because they’re worried they’re gonna be seen and treated as rude or insensitive. So many neurotypicals just don’t give a shit. They will flip the script at the drop of a hat if they feel like they’re not getting their way, or that youre not checking their boxes of what they view as acceptable. And usually that’s a preconceived notion that happened before you even opened your mouth.
