new gender dropped

Best thing about complimenting girls for their outfits is they Always have a little fun fact to tell you about it. "It has pockets!" "It was on sale!" "I've had this old thing for years!" Thank u for this small detail from your world :)

I saw this tweet about how things don't always "occur" to adhd people and I thought I could relate to it as well, although I'm autistic and not adhd.

For example - if I have a headache, it simply won't occur to me to take pain meds. I know I have a headache. I want the pain to stop. I am aware of the existence of pain meds. But the idea never occurs to me to take them until someone else suggests it.

The example they gave in the tweet was that if someone says hello to them, it may not occur to them to say hello back and yep... I do that as well.

I just never realized that other people may not do these things.

This is called executive dysfunction and it’s very common for both adhd and autistic people! <3

I was under the impression that executive dysfunction was being unable to transition between tasks. Like that feeling when you're trying to get up and make some food, but your brain won't let you no matter how hard you try. Is that something different?

They are both forms of executive dysfunction! Executive dysfunction simply means one of your executive functions isn’t working. The executive functions are:

What you’re experiencing and what you already considered executive dysfunction are both issues with task initiation, and I think what you’re experiencing is also an issue with planning.

The reason ADHD and autism are so similar is that the executive functions are impacted; among other symptoms and traits, they are both executive functioning disorders. Which is why you experience this thing that a lot of ADHDers experience, and why ADHD and autism have such a high comorbidity rate.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

telling butch lesbians to “be ugly” when rejecting feminine beauty standards is nice but butchness is something that lesbians find beautiful and desirable so maybe instead of telling butches to accept that they are ugly in a het world tell them that they dont have to live in a world where they’re considered ugly. you dont have to accept being ugly bc you arent ugly to us.

every post on destigmatizing schizophrenia seems to have the qualifier of "as long as they're seeking treatment" "as long as they're medicated" "as long as they're not actively in a psychotic episode" like, no. in all of those situations schizophrenic people are still worthy of respect and compassion.

basically if you get sick or injured and you still feel like total shit long after it goes away, chances are you may have developed a symptoms syndrome.

if you get covid-19 specifically you have between a 30% and 50% chance of getting a new symptoms syndrome or worsening the one you may already have. yeeeeowch!

man when did "you can't even use the phone" become an acceptable insult among leftists. it's so nakedly ableist

Borders doesn’t real I have more in common with the Chinese man seeding the torrent I download than my congressman

sorry for seeing the divine in the monstrous. not my fault.

unfriendly reminder: this is a sex worker positive space. I will not tolerate the disrespect of sex workers here, and if you cant agree with that without a doubt then you're not welcome here.

sure would be nice if people other than porn blogs and sex workers reblogged this

so mad that our takeaway from the mask thing hasn't been "wait, so we could have been getting like 80% fewer colds and viruses this entire time?"

also tens of thousands of people don't actually need to die of the flu every year but, you know, whatever

“In a 6-to-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that border agents may unconstitutionally enter a person's home without a warrant and assault him and ... federal courts are powerless to do anything about it. The border, once again, is a Constitution-free zone.”

“60% of the population of the United States just lost any constitutional protections against warrantless assault or home invasion by armed agents.”

The court system is doing exactly what is was designed to do. It’s insulated from electoral influence so that it can apply any legal interpretation necessary to maintain and expand US power. It’s violated constitutional rights from the beginning, it’s always been about declaring what authority the ruling class wants the law to have.

The whole country needs to go.

yet another thing for me to fight

Non-Western Anarchisms is a good read for folks who want a starting point for learning about some specific movements.

indigenous anarchist Aragorn! also has some good pieces on this very topic, and they’re great

Here’s some literature about anarchism in China, Korea and Japan.

Also, the Southeast Asian section of The Anarchist Library also recently launched.

I’d also like to add that the Korean Anarchist Library has launched as well

The Chinese Anarchist Library has also launched (1/1/2022)

I collected a few links to texts by or about Arab anarchists here.

I’m not trying to turn your kids trans; that’s stupid. I’m trying to turn them into socialists.

#for real tho! their gender is their business but class struggle is everyone’s business
