Human. Minor. They/them, 🍓/🍓s If my name is too long, you can call me Strawberry. Dominant humour: Melancholic.

I realised I’ve never made something to use as a pinned post, so here’s a very late one for anyone new:

  • I'm Strawberry! I use they/them online, and I’m trying out 🍓/🍓s. I identify as queer
  • I’m a minor, so please don’t follow if you post mainly nsfw stuff
  • I do divination, so if you want a free tarot/oracle card/divination cube/bibliomancy reading, feel free to dm me.
  • I'll try and trigger tag things, but I'm not that good at remembering, so if you wants something specific, ask and I’ll try to be consistent
  • I’m autistic, so I don’t always get things, and I appreciate tone tags

Current Hyperfixations/SpIns:

  • Rocky Horror Picture Show
  • Anthropology
  • Religion
  • Divination

hedonism is good actually rich people just suck at it

i think not only do we have a moral obligation to preserve human life but also a moral obligation to maximize the pleasure of others and ourselves (provided it doesn’t hurt anyone)

people don’t just deserve to eat food, they deserve to eat good food that tastes good without worrying about nutritional content

people don’t just deserve clothes, they deserve nice clothes that are well made and fit their personal style

people don’t just deserve the bare minimum, they don’t just deserve to be alive, they deserve to live and have nice things for no other reason than making that particular person happy

“Actually, autistic ppl are hyperempathetic, not unempathetic-”

SHUT. UP. Stop destigmatizing autism by throwing us under the bus. Not having empathy doesn’t make us worse, and you should be asking ableists why having less empathy is bad, not validating peoples opinions on low/no empathy peeps.

And that’s not even getting into the fact that some autistic people ARE UNEMPATHETIC. You are literally only hurting people.

my five year plan? read a lot of books. visit museums. walk through woods. stand in a river. adopt a little kitty. drink lemonade while sitting in a rocking chair on my porch.

i spent $32 on this fucking bowl at the moma and at first i felt bad buying it bc it was so expensive but ive had a terrible day today and every time i look at my lil bowl im like :o) you know what. i can get through anything with this bowl by my side

i literally get what marie kondo was talking about now

bc everyone keeps requesting to see it filled :)

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. Time seems to pass differently. But the place is cozy and private so I have no complaints. And whenever I’m hungry, I go outside with my bowl and walk down the hill to the shore. Sometimes the lake is made of soup. Sometimes it’s huge pasta noodles the size of barges. Sometimes it’s breakfast cereal. Sometimes it’s dumplings the size of great whales. I dip my little bowl and take a portion and carry it back up to the house.

Today I found a new bowl! In its center is a little hill with a little house. I will carry it down to the shore and fill it up, and whomever lives in that little house can have a tiny portion of my meal. I hope they have a nice bowl to put it in..

There’s no shame greater than that of adding a mutual on discord, and then blowing it at establishing regular convos in the early stages. and then it’s been too long. and their name simply sits there….
