This is kind of random but I just got really stressed out and want to talk about something I feel is important.

If you have depression or any other mental illness/condition that affects your daily life and can make it hard to function, please try to at least brush your teeth. Bare minimum. When even that’s too much I sometimes will just swish around some mouthwash when I piss or something. Anything.

Depression really fucked up my mouth and now it hurts to eat/drink most things and my dental bills are high because of how neglectful I got during particularly bad episodes when I was younger. Teeth can’t repair or replace themselves, so take care of them as best you can. If not just for the health aspect of it, keeping up your dental hygiene could save you from a lot of financial stress in the future.

ok that’s all take care toodles

Here's a little sequence from this afternoon that targets:

🎯 hip external rotation (with a piriformis & glute stretch)

🎯 internal rotation, glute medius strength

🎯 active hip abduction, (aka active flexibility for middle splits),

🎯 AND I threw in a nice lat stretch too because why not? 🤷🏻‍♂️⁣

Imagine a kindly giant of unknown species and origin just picking you up and carefully placing you in a pile of chicken nuggets

autistic traits that were ignored simply because I’m a girl:

  • very obvious special interests in things like animals or hair were ignored as normal girl interests
  • noise sensitivity was me being an uptight bitch
  • meltdowns extending into teenage years were seen as typical for dramatic teenage girls
  • love of colorful, sparkly, visually-stimulating things?? GIRL
  • vestibular stimming only landed me in cheerleading and gymnastics
  • severe social anxiety = shy girl!!!
  • always saying “what”? can’t be her ears bc she has great hearing, must just be another ditzy blonde girl
  • only eats specific foods/plain food? girls are sooo picky
  • self-harming? red flag but still typical of girls who are “looking for attention”
  • awkward laughing at everything because I don’t know what to FUCKING SAY?? giggly girl, very normal and cute (not)
  • doesn’t go out a lot? the perfect daughter!

not to mention all of the symptoms that WEREN’T obvious because I worked so hard to hide them.

pls educate girls on autism so they don’t spend their formative years wondering why they feel so different.

For all you afabs out there, here’s a pretty comprehensive screener list (that’s organized by category!) of symptoms of autism in adults who were socialized as girls when they were younger, whether or not you actually identify with that gender now. Reading through this for the first time, I got an overwhelming sense of “my entire life makes sense now,” so now I’m passing it on to you.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Sunday signed an executive order to protect transgender students enrolled in schools across the state, declaring on the final day of Pride Month that “ignorance was no longer an excuse for bigotry.”

The order establishes a task force of 25 people who will craft policies to better support transgender and nonbinary students and mandates that schools have safe spaces for LGBTQ youth.

Pritzker, who signed the order the same day as Chicago’s Pride Parade, said the changes were meant to “disrupt the patterns of discrimination in our classrooms and ensure our school[s] across the state are affirming and inclusive for transgender, nonbinary and gender nonconforming students.”

“While the LGBTQ community has so much to celebrate, we must also recognize that the trans community that ignited this movement has been left out of many of its victories,” the governor wrote on Twitter. “Visibility and acceptance for non-cisgender people are on the rise, but so are attacks of hate, particularly against black trans women.”

He continued: “We’re taking one more step toward securing Illinois’ place as a leader in equality and hope. Under this executive order, ignorance is no longer an excuse for bigotry.” 👏

If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on.

Goes for other disabilities too. Sometimes it seems like it’s “getting worse” when what’s really happening is that circumstances have changed in a way that makes the symptoms more obvious and detrimental. 

VERY important advice. Don’t beat yourself up. Adulting is HARD.
