Anybody want me to shut the fuck up for $500?
i am a firm supporter of changing your name to whatever you want regardless of your gender. if a woman wants to go by matt then matt she shall be. godspeed
one time in my last job a woman came up to the register explaining that when she bought stuff a day prior the clerk forgot to scan a pair of socks worth less than €2 and it was only right for her to bring it back to the store and pay for it proper. unfortunately my manager was directly next to me at the time and took over the register to handle this serious issue. the receipt she had brought with her said which register performed the previous transaction that forgot the socks and the manager could find out who was running that till on that day. poor dude had a manager yell at him for a half hour about how much of an incompetent fuck up he was, he left the job immediately after but i couldnt tell you if he quit or was fired
i think about this moment a lot. the customer seemed like a sweet woman with only good intentions and when she paid for the socks she had a look on her face that said "i feel good because i did the right thing". and a guy lost his job because of a pair of socks. if shit like this ever happens to you and a clerk forgets to scan an item just think of it as a small blessing or that you had good luck or something. keep it.
cancel your plans we’re thinking about the pale blue dot voyager pic tonight

S/O to my mentally disabled people <3
but especially those who:
- Can't live alone or even need a caretaker
- Can't get/maintain a job (or even contribute around their household)
- Have "childish" stress responses (like hitting self, crying, pulling hair or any 'tantrum' responses)
- Are often verbally misunderstood because of a non-neurotypical speech pattern
- Need help with basic care for themselves (making food, cleaning themselves, getting dressed)
- Are thought of as "cold, heartless, or robotic" for not showing their internal emotions outwardly. Or when they do (like having a stress response like screaming/crying/hitting self) they get over it fairly quickly
- Feel like a burden on their families/caretakers
- And to those who are just seen as weird/freaks and are bullied by family/caretakers/peers/ect for not being able to do what everyone else can or for acting 'abnormally' (tip: be yourself and love who you are <3 peas and love)
These mostly come from my self experience of being an autistic adult who has a handful of other mental disorders on top of autism, if u want to add some other things in the notes go ahead
i was just feeling very autistic tonight and wanted to share the love to everyone else who is like me

THE TWO MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AFELL IN LOVE THE OTHER DAY. And it was beautiful and true. And about unlearning shame. And they’re calling it. Reddie
I literally love that pork fat was sacred to Hestia. Goddess of Workin' the Grill, Goddess of Throwin' Some Honey Mustard On that Bad Buoy, Goddess of Autism Be Damned.
In my heart of hearts Hestia is some grungy looking creole tgirl with a beer belly and an outdoor grill.
i just wanna say that even if you have degenerative diseases, life can still get better with age. i don't know how long i have left and i just seem to keep getting sicker, but im steadier and happier and more secure in myself than ever.
i started my 20s healthy and my 30s deathly ill and i'm much happier now. i wouldn't even trade health for everything else i've gained since.
contrary to the popular misconception, health isn't everything or even the most important thing. it's good to have! but you can make a happy life as a sick person, in whatever time you have
i really didn't expect this post to get so big. if this is my legacy, i think i'd be content with that. it's been incredibly touching to see how it has affected people. means the world to me if i can help even one person feel better about their situation.
like i said in the tags of the original post, my life is not a happy one yet. but it's so much better than it ever was before, including when i was healthy. i know myself so much better. illness forced me to reckon with what i really want out of life and what i really have to offer, stripping away illusions since i no longer have the energy for endless distraction and doing all kinds of things just because i feel i should. (note: i am not saying anyone is obligated to feel there's a 'silver lining' to their illness, or any special meaning. that's simply how i experienced it.)
many aspects of my life have improved, and the things that are missing from my life are more within reach than ever. i may or may not ever attain or keep them, but that's true for everyone.
people have asked many times on this post 'do you promise?' and i wish i could say yes, but the answer is no. nothing is guaranteed in life, least of all happiness, not for sick people nor for healthy people (nor is there a clean divide between them). i am not saying you WILL be happy. i am saying illness, even degenerative, doesn't necessarily foreclose that possibility.
you may face very real obstacles, due to illness or other factors or a combination, and sometimes life just sucks. it's okay if you ARE miserable! like, it's not okay, i wish for your suffering to be alleviated. but i don't want to make anyone feel worse about feeling bad! being sick can be very hard and bring a lot of suffering, both directly and because of how our cultures view and treat us.
i'm not saying there's a magical moment where 'it gets better' and the suffering stops. just like for everyone else, building a fulfilling life as a sick person takes work and a lot of luck. i just wanted to say that, contrary to what our culture would have us believe, a sick life doesn’t always have to mean a miserable one. we can find our joys too, alongside the struggles.
i learned this from people who have taken these paths before me, such as Mel Baggs (z"l). my fellow sick people taught me to divorce my hope of a happy life from any hope for a cure, and from our conceptions of health altogether. it took a long time to internalize. that's what created the space for me to start to consider what a happy, sick life would look like for me, and start to move in those directions as far as my capacities allow. so i hope this idea helps you make that space for yourself as well, if that's what you need.

Also really funny how richie is literally crying hysterically after losing the love of his life when ben and beverly decide it’s their time to have their first kiss. you just had to stop richie from killing himself because eddie died and now you’re going to rub it in?

"Dabi is a chill / cool guy" wrong, in fact his whole quirk and emotional struggles are all about how not chill he is. He literally burned himself alive? Twice? He cries blood? He just appeared detached 'cause he is suicidal and he's trying to convince himself that nothing else matters but revenge he's failing.
"Tomura is cruel / dumb / explosive" super wrong, there are several instances of him getting threatened by the League when he either did nothing or calmly reacted to him. There are also several instances of Tomura explaining historical events or sharing facts and strategy with them.
Contrary to what Dabi once suggested on the manga, Compress is known for taking big risks to accomplish his missions and he has an active role whenever the League needs him (jumped against Overhaul and later took his arm, kidnapped Bakugo, used his quirk on himself to allow Spinner and Tomura to escape, fought against Machia with Twice to allow Tomura to rest, etc).
Twice is not just a silly guy, he has actual malice too and he acts on it. Overhaul would have been a great addition if it wasn't for his need to control. He is capable of being cruel for his family the League sake and he was with them because he wanted, not because he was being a naive man being tricked.
Spinner is not a background character but someone really important to the storyline development (maybe Dabi is the second strongest and most active league member after Tomura, but Spinner is the person they all trusted and Tomura's greatest follower).
Toga is not just cheerful-crazy, she is really serious when it matters and like Twice or Dabi or thr rest of the League, a big part of her personality is a consequence of some trauma, in this case the social mask she tried to maintain for the sake of getting approved by her parents.
The League of Villains is more complex than all the stereotypes.
