Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.
i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent
And in some cases, when you DO have an answer because you don’t want to be accused of lying, some adults respond with “You have an answer for everything don’t you?” as if that’s even worse than saying “I don’t know.”
God that pissed me off so much. “You have an answer for everything don’t you?” Yeah tell me you don’t respect me without telling me you don’t respect me
And “wow, you forgot, that’s so convenient for you, isn’t it?”
No actually, there is nothing convenient about my brain tossing out needed info, and me literally being in trouble for it right now, AND being told I decided to do this on purpose. I’m retarded, not a moron. Go fuck yourself
theres a pink blue and white flower at rhe grocery store i have to make. a joke

reblog if you too would just like a nice place to live, plenty of yummy food, and not to be exposed to the vacuum of space whenever possible
This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.

i just want to add to this post that the last update made to the official pride flag by Glibert Baker before he passed away was THIS:
the new lavender stripe at the very top was added to represent DIVERSITY and as far as i am aware, was added in retaliation against trump’s presidency. i’ve not seen many people use this version, and it deserves to be known.
for the redditors coming here, this is how we spread news of important events in the world, with a Destiel meme
The true scourge of Reddit users coming to tumblr is that these bitches think reposting art is ok if you add a funny caption
It’s something that isn’t exclusive to Reddit (I see people do it occasionally and it makes me see red every time) but since the Reddit migration I’ve been seeing it WAY more. Killing and exploding everyone who doesn’t source their fucking art with my mind
actually i'm adding this directly instead of in tags: please get permission before you repost even with a source!!! don't just assume it's okay!!! many artists DO NOT ALLOW REPOSTS AT ALL, even with credit, and i've regularly seen art reposted on reddit from artists who have it right in their twitter bios (often in english even if they don't speak the language themselves) that they don't allow reposting
if the artist is on tumblr themselves, reblog their original post. if not, please check their own social media (pixiv/twitter/etc) to see if they say anything about reposting, and if they don't outright forbid it, ask for permission before reposting! (and if they say no, don't do it!)
just saw someone advocating for ppl going off their meds so they aren’t reliant on “big pharma” and I’m like. what disease do you have that spontaneously treats itself the moment you feel morally superior to others? I’m dying to know
disabled people relying on a medical system that’s inherently unethical and capitalist and cruel is not an active choice we make by taking each breath
other disabled people deserve to live and they deserve the meds they need to be comfortable and alive, even if those meds patents are currently owned by monstrous billionaires
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
Way way back I drew a comic explaining what we really mean by ‘The Autism Spectrum’ and posted it here back when Tumblr was Huge. Then the comic really blew up!! Last year I did a remake of the comic, with some updated language, and using Mia, a character from a graphic novel I made. Figured I’d share for Autism Acceptance Month!
i love people you can just sit with. you do your thing, i’ll do mine. lets just exist alongside one another, in a silence that says “im glad you’re here.”
you can instantly make a cool female character if you just take any stereotypically masculine character type and make him a butch lady. easiest trick in the book. you can try this at home
im not talking even about broad scale archetypes like Action Hero. those are cool don't get me wrong but if you take more specific stock characters such as "cartoonish mob boss" or "gentleman detective" or "elderly mad scientist" then you have an instant hit on your hands. lesbians WILL love you forever and you WILL be the most interesting person around
dragons are fucking sexy and anyone afraid to say that will not survive the winter
Being obsessed with your own OCs but literally never creating any art or content for them is such a curse. You'll be like "this reminds me of blorbo from my head :)", and everyone else will just be like "? who thef uck"
Tiktokers not being able to comprehend sexuality and trans identities being wild and confusing and intersecting with each other instead of being sorted into near little boxes is so insane. Like breaking the boxes wasn’t the point in the first place??
And the way they try to “break boxes” is also in such a methodical box way. “Well he/him pronoun users can be lesbians because non-binary people can use any pronouns they want and lesbians are non men loving non men.” It’s like guys… you don’t have to justify this…. Guys can be lesbians this shit doesn’t have to make sense. Queerness was never about clear identities with rules
This applies to ace and aro identities too btw. If someone says they are ace or aro and then say something you consider "contradictory" to their identity maybe sit for a second and self reflect on why you think it's possibly your business
the blank blogs people from tiktok have are just confusing to me because its like. this is one of the last major social media sites where you can truly customize your own space and you just dont want to. alright have fun i guess
Imagine being so bad at tumblr you fail the Turing Test
