Reckless and Restless Wanderer

There is no slut shaming in this house, only slut encouragement

no one ever talks about the part of adhd where everyone in your class has got their group of friends and you’re just there, mindlessly tagging along with anyone who is willing to put up with you for a few minutes. either you’re too loud or too quiet. if you’re lucky, it won’t affect you much. you’re a loner, so what? but then the moments come around where you find yourself yearning to be like the others. you’re not depressed, why would you be? you’re a child who just happens to be a little different. sure, you’re usually the last choice when it comes to groups and you’re rarely, if ever, invited to birthday parties but… it’s alright. everything is fine. or is it?

You see Baudelaires, your fears about this man being count olaf are unfounded! He clearly reblogged a post marked “count olaf don’t interact,” and certainly if he WAS count olaf he wouldn’t have reblogged it!

Can't let ghosts have the moon. They're dead, moon's ours. Gotta defend it.

when housecats are small its awesome and when theyre big its also awesome. the bigger or smaller a cat is, the better. but there's also something so alluring about a perfectly average cat. you can't go wrong

my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba

Fun story my Great Great Grandma left Germany in the 1920s because she had family in the US and could get citizenship pretty easily and once she was over in the US she then smuggled over 15 jewish families out by forging family documents so now my aunts are currently in the process of trying to tell the real ones from the fake ones because my great gran just died and there are legally over 100 surviving descendants but we know that math is a lil screwy.

Sometimes a family is you, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, and the 15 Jewish families you helped smuggle out of Nazi Germany.

And your tuba

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

THIS ^^^

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

stimming isn’t enough i need to fucking explode

“not blaming individual citizens for the insane wars started by their leaders (or the leader of the country they were born in, or the one their parents were born in” is something American especially should support

Corporations do more harm in one hour than any singular human could do in their whole life.

Reblogging for that last line “Participating in the world as it is does not disqualify you from trying to improve it.”

PARTICIPATING IN THE WORLD AS IT IS DOES NOT DISQUALIFY YOU FROM TRYING TO IMPROVE IT

mail is dumb

The mail lady saying “NO. I REFUSE to say it again” was more climactic than the Braveheart speech.

this is funnier the earlier in march you reblog it it

✨ it’s march ✨

Anyone else, esp. neurodivergent people, ever talk to someone and get elated because you’re like wow :) I am doing a Conversation :) I am doing the Asking Questions and Listening Attentively and Expressing Interest :) I have shared a Joke or brief Amusing Happening and this person liked it :) this person seems to enjoy speaking to me and I enjoy speaking to them :) I’m a person.

I once was talking to someone I admired and they told a joke about our managers and I added to the joke, and they laughed so hard they couldn’t talk  and I was like thank you for laughing I have truly never experienced this level of euphoria and also I would die for you now.

Recognition Responsive Euphoria is a hell of a drug 

I do this and I’m like “This is great. I’m going to get a good grade in conversation, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,”
