The Science Dome

Oh! The intimacy of adopting each other’s vocabulary.

ohhhh I love love love this with my friends. This and like, gestures. I get so many things off my friends and like, the first few times I wave my hand in a specific way or say phrases I got off my friends, I always pause and think happily to myself that I just did a [name]ism. My joy shoots through the roof when I notice others doing something I do all the time

Was at a bar one night when a busser dropped a stack of shit and broke some glasses. Without even looking up from what he was doing, the bartender yelled, "THAT DOESN'T GO THERE."

I got this one from my best friend's family. When someone says "ow," you say "don't do that, it hurts" as deadpan as possible

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.

a misogynistic society is so threatened by the concept of trans women - women that "had the opportunity" to be privileged men and chose not to - that they start making up privileges women have in order to explain why trans women exist. going into womens restrooms isnt a privilege, playing womens sports isnt a privilege, yet they present them as such to try and explain why trans women are women for nefarious reasons. a misogynistic society will never understand that trans women have no ulterior motive for being women
