u can just do whatever at any age all of the time nobody cares except teenagers

teenager will be like ur 40 with a hobby ? 💀 that’s sad <- nobody else thinks this way though they are just going through some stuff

did you know avoidance only makes all of your problems worse. no one has ever discovered this before

I've suspected this for a long time but I usually try not to think about it

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

i think shane does the absolute most romantic things ever but by complete accident because he just does them cause his little lovesick autistic brain is like yeah i love this person why would i not do this for them. like he always has a spare roll of hockey stick tape in the brand that ilya likes the most in his hockey bag even tho it’s not the same brand shane himself likes. and shane has ilya’s playlist downloaded on his own spotify so that when they’re in the car he can play ilya’s music for him specifically when they’re driving to the rink he knows to play ilya’s pump up songs which he puts on queue in the exact order ilya likes. when they’re on planes together he always makes sure to book the middle seat and make sure ilya has the window because he knows how much ilya loves looking at all the beautiful scenery and also on planes he has a spare set of airpods because he knows ilya forgets to charge his own half the time but he makes sure he bought the airpods with the rubber tips because ilya mentioned once that the other ones hurt his ears. shane tries to make ilya’s life just that little more comfortable and easy. shane loves ilya so fucking much.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

its actually so dear & important to me that a man of color like hudson williams is loud af, proudly takes up space, says whatever he wants, & breaks every model minority box & stereotype he could possibly be shoved into. that he knows he deserves all this & earned it. and not despite but BC of it he's one of the most desired stars rn in the world, professionally in the industry, & by fans alike

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

Everything used to be 20 dollars and now that I finally have 20 dollars everything is now 200 dollars
