I WAS BORN YESTERDAY. I JUST BLEW IN FROM STUPID TOWN. THIS IS MY FIRST RODEO. PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME.

happy Pride to trans masculine disabled people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

just blocked someone for not liking purple. do not fuck with me

one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.

every 14-16 year old is the bravest person on the planet to me

talking to a 15 year old like wow okay you are like if scrambled eggs was a person. I don't know how to save you. the way you move through the world is reminiscent of a stray cat whose soul got punted into a human body. said human body is currently undergoing changes and floods of hormones that would result in cities being levelled if you were perhaps a big dragon and not a medium sized primate. been there. good luck I love you

you don't have to excuse the behaviours of shitty teenagers, but you DO have to remember that they've been on this earth only as long as your cat. you have to ensure that the way you respond to said behaviour reflects this. yes they're an entire person. they're also going through a period of the most insane rapid transformation (physically, mentally, emotionally and socially) a person can experience in life. are they an irredeemable monster or are they just a very impressionable young person floundering through their first Strong Opinions based on what they've seen online, with ridiculous amounts of Hormone That Makes You Hate Everything in their bloodstream?

YOUNG TEENAGERS. are YOU an irredeemable monster or are YOU just a very impressionable young person floundering through your first Strong Opinions based on what you've seen online, with ridiculous amounts of Hormone That Makes You Hate Everything in your bloodstream? I'll give you a hint. it's the second option. cut yourself some slack too! try your very best to be kind, try your very best to consider people with differing experiences to you, and maybe take a step back from discourse that does nothing besides make you upset. you've only been an animal alive on this planet for a decade and a bit. there are artisanal cheddars at your local supermarket older than you. take it easy. eat more fruit. save up for a second hand bicycle. join a local club. it's impossibly difficult to be a teenager but you have it in you, whether you're aware of it or not. I hope you can be kind to yourself, because you DO deserve that kindness. kia kaha [:

Did you just fucking compare me to a block of cheese

yes. adds you to my pasta sauce

I also compared you to scrambled eggs. you could be a balanced meal and that's okay

I need everyone who makes music to spontaneously take on a sort of creative writing exercise/challenge where they're not allowed to write song about romantic relationships for like. A year. Just long enough to get some variety in the mix. Other things happen to people

so embarrassing when I like a mainstream song. i thought I was more fucked up than this

reading problematic fanfiction but shaking my head so random tumblr user who thinks thought crimes are real knows I don't condone it in real life

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

Some of you may not want to hear this, but sometimes autism accommodation means giving that socially awkward person who said something that came off as passive aggressive or uncomfortable the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone is capable of reading social rules and cues effectively, I thought this was autism 101.

It IS important to tell people how they come off when it's actively causing problems in their personal and professional life. On multiple occasions, I've seen people online who are doing and saying very off-putting things surrounded by people cheering them on, because said audience sees them as a bold iconoclast. But it was also very obvious the person in question was severely stressed, frustrated, and did not understand why they kept getting negative reactions from most people (in some cases, reactions with serious consequences, affecting personal and professional relationships). Their ostensible supporters and friends had zero interest in helping them navigate this, because they saw them as a hero or martyr rather than a real person who needed help, regardless of whether they were technically correct or at least making good points. If you actually care about someone, you do need to take them aside when you see this happening. They're not obligated to follow your advice, of course, but at least they'll know why they get those reactions.
