simultaneously irritable and irritating

i’m not gonna kill myself because if my depression wants me dead THAT badly it’s gonna have to start shutting my fucking organs down like a REAL disease instead of being a fucking pussy and hiding in my brain and trying to get ME to do it’s dirty work for it !

i gotta try this. for everything. stubbornness is one thing i’m actually really good at. so i just gotta dig my feet in and out-stubborn my depression. it wants me to lie in bed doing nothing? not on my watch. it wants me to hate myself? i’m gonna love myself just to be a spiteful bitch. it wants me to isolate myself? hold my beer. watch me make sooooo many friends. omg this might actually work. worth a shot.

Teach girls it’s okay to not want kids. Or even like them. That they can be functional people without being a mother. That deciding into their 30s they want kids isnt bad and they’re not “too old.” Teach girls that they don’t have to sell their youth to kids. Because motherhood isn’t for everyone. And we need to stop acting like it is.

sometimes i’m like “i should buy some orange juice! i love it i don’t know why i never have it in the house” and then i get some and i remember it’s because some kind of dormant Scurvy Prevention Instinct activates within me like a sleeper agent trained to seek and destroy, except it’s just me standing in front of the open fridge at two in the morning chugging juice straight out of the carton like a crazed citrus gremlin 

if movies about men got reviewed the same way movies about women did

“Look. Don’t get me wrong: no one is happier than me to see a man finally starring in a lead role in an action movie (especially when they look as tantalizing in a tank top as Mr. Willis.) but at the end of the day, the hard truth about Die Hard is this: it’s mediocre. The script is bland, the pacing is excruciating, and although it has a few decent lines, it’s trying way, way too hard to be funny and only succeeding half the time. The focus on “male empowerment” is way too overt and comes across as ham-fisted, like the movie is trying to beat the audience over the head with “SEE? MEN CAN LEAD ACTION MOVIES, TOO!” without seeming to have anything more nuanced to say about the matter. Ultimately, Bruce Willis climbing around a building and beating up terrorists for two hours isn’t quite interesting enough to hold this reviewer’s attention. If you can shut off your brain and pretend not to notice the glaringly obvious plot holes riddled through this corporate-engineered script, then Die Hard may be the film for you. If not, however, you’ll probably be better off rewatching Ocean’s 8 instead.”

The judge who sentenced this sexual predator is Rosemarie Aquilina. Larry Nassar abused over 150 women, including Gabby Douglas, Simone Biles, and Aly Raisman. Judge Rosemarie made sure this predator pays the price for each and every one of them. Hella props to this badass judge. Judges around the world need to take notes.

This is a gif of Judge Rosemarie tossing a bullshit letter larry nassar wrote about how “hard” it is for him to hear his victims testify. The level of badassary within this woman is untouchable. 

The World To Autistics

Is a lot like this:

People say one thing, and mean the opposite (or just don’t mean anything at all) and this is the closest visual representation I’ve ever seen.

And it’s up to us to decipher it every time.

Reasons why I was not diagnosed with ADHD until I was 18 in no particular order and I may add more if I think of more

  1. I’m a girl
  2. I was one of the good kids
  3. I was in the gifted program so nothing could possibly be wrong
  4. The teachers legitimately had no clue what to look for
  5. I’m the oldest so there were no older siblings who could get diagnosed first
  6. And honestly does anybody get diagnosed when their life functions at least mostly okay
  7. I had friends
  8. I never went to a counselor once until fifth grade and it wasn’t neurodivergency related
  9. I was homeschooled sixth grade and onward because nobody had any clue what was up and my mom didn’t want me to slip from the “smart kid” track to the “dumb kid” track because she knew I understood stuff, it’s just that homework took freaking forever

For more information, check this out despite my being combined type not ADHD-PI:

Couldn’t find a legit link to it so sorry bout that

[Also I thought I should probably note that that’s not me on the Twitter post, I just think they’re more articulate than me]

[or at least I think it’s Twitter idk]
