It's just me and my broom against the world

"neurotypicals have this special way of saying 'okay' that makes you feel like shit after infodumping your special interest" anyone can do that actually

in fact i have had this happen to me multiple times from other autistic people sometimes someone just doesn't realize they sound bored. or aren't as good at hiding that they Are bored lmao people aren't always gonna jive with your special interest and it may not really interest them like hate to break it to you but that isn't a personal attack on you

like i offhand can think of my coworker who also has adhd who says "yeah" in this way when i'm talking that makes it sound like she does not give a single fuck, and she's admitted that she sometimes zones out when other people are talking (i do this too) even if she's interested and trying to listen. and sometimes when She's talking i just start getting bored/losing energy and start trying to find ways to back out of the conversation like that's just how things are sometimes

so seeing posts like that are really annoying lol like yeah it really fucking sucks when it feels like you've bored someone while talking about something you love! however not only does it not automatically mean they're an ~evil neurotypical but also i'm sure most of the people reblogging that post would never acknowledge that they've very likely been the "...okay" person more than once

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

IT GOT BETTER

is that nonbinary person "comfortable being seen as their agab" or are they just resigned to never being seen as their actual gender

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

the last couple of days I've been noticing way more buds than usual on the branches of trees and bushes. I think something big is about to happen

what if I replayed TES:O but in French and with subtitles, because I:

a) need to brush up on my French

b) love Martin Septim but don't want to listen to Sean Bean

i haven't watched a single episode of severance and while it does pique my curiosity at this point i think it's way more interesting and funny to learn everything i know about it via tumblr osmosis

my beloved tumblr mutuals with great taste: oh my god... the innies... the outies

me, oblivious: wow what are they doing to those guyses bellybuttons

"It's fine I'm just having an Empty Time. What? Yeah, empty times, you know, when everything is like bzzzzzz in your brain and you don't shower for two weeks. Why, what do you call it?" - ooooughhh now we're talkin
