anti-vaxxers aren't a protected category

okay well maybe i like it when the love is grotesque and awful and overwhelming and inescapable. maybe that’s the point.

maybe i’m aromantic and all romance feels like this anyway, so i’m not put off of still calling it love when it ruins everything in its path and drags people down with it and twists itself into every fibre of their beings until they can’t take a single breath without feeling like love is wrapped around their lungs and squeezing slowly, slowly, without relief. maybe i’m not calling it love as an inherently good thing. maybe love is a terrible thing. from latin, terribilis—frightful. dreaded. unendurable.

the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i had to phone a taxi today, scary

The subreddit r/explainlikeimscared is a surprisingly good resource for this. People are always very kind and thorough from what I've seen, and I spend a decent amount of time there giving walkthroughs and answering questions when I know the process.

SHARING TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE OUT!

i think that soy sauce fish and honey bear must be the very very best of friends

Not everyone knows about my GDrive with 100+ PDFs about ancient Greek Religion, but now you do. I hope it's helpful!

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

if u get into neopaganism u really have to spend the first like 2 years sorting out all the bullshit and finding out how much of it is either completely made up or outright stolen from other cultures and then go from there. u truly have to experience ego death, academic death, book collection death, and probably 47 other maimings or else you will be stuck believing something some guy said based on nothing in 1987 as your religion. it's harrowing. it's dire.

also frustrating is whenever i talk about this i inevitably run into the edgelords like "well it's ALL made up anyway so who cares ha ha ha." do not interact with me.

ive never been able to take "climb him like a tree" as a sexual innuendo seriously because i picture climbing a tree in my mind and then i picture a tall man in my mind and when i put those two things together im not seeing anything sexual. im seeing like. circus tricks.

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

bring the healthy fun back to fandom!

we talk about how surreal it is to befriend really good creatives on here but what’s really surreal is when those really good creatives also have, like, debilitating social anxiety and impostor syndrome. leonardo da vinci is on my dashboard calling the mona lisa cringe. rembrandt thrives off of my deranged tag rambles like a starving college student going after café leftovers
