life has become so much better since deciding to consume media with unbridled joy. i don’t care if people think it’s cringe, i don’t care if there are flaws. i can simultaneously acknowledge these faults while loving and consuming media that brings me joy.
Having a hard time explaining to people that studying 4 languages doesn't mean I now speak 5 languages, but actually something more like, -7.3 instead
With every language i learn, i lose more and more of my ability to speak any of them coherently 😭
Literally, i've noticed that the better i get in Swedish, the more i'm struggling with English. And don't even get me started on my native language..... can't form a whole German sentence without peppering some English words in there that none of my family understand
For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....
They what
Yeah, I don't get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing.... Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, "Ooh, time for lil snack!"
See also: there is a feeling of "oh, I need to pee" that happens before "fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom"
I read this and was like, "this can't be real" and then I looked for sources and like--
"This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full. To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning."
WHAT??????
what the fuck
i don’t even get the growling. eventually i get a really horrible migraine, but no growling. i think i eventually would (? maybe ?) but i’ve never put that to the test or anything.
Things that turn up in your mailbox, #(n+1) in a series
There’s a company we deal with that sells supplies for (food) smokers—woods chips and dusts, etc. This morning I got an email telling me that they were having a sale on ham presses.
“…WTF?” I said. But there was a link that said “Watch how it’s done!”
Well, I’m nothing if not easily amused. For those of you who’re the same…
Rockypuppet is done!
He’s a marionette with arms that can detach and move independently.
Materials have included: foam, cotton fabric, pvc pipe, paper mache, Velcro, and a LOT of hot glue.
Who knew prehensile nipples were a thing? From the novel "Ritual", published in 1967, which inspired the film THE WICKER MAN.

- i have naturally acidic sweat. it's a family thing
ublock-origin
we have already. They don't know exactly what is up with it, other than the sweat being slightly more acidic than normal and the acidic mantle being thicker and Way more acidic than normal, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with acidosis. As far as we have tested, our family has had this since at least my great grandpa, and the guy lived to be 93 years old.
What the fuck.

“My hands, always so problematic. I burn my bridges so carelessly that their ashes have caught up with me. This hunger for trouble leaves me deprived. The rush of risk leaves me shivering as I howl for something to keep myself afloat. But this unrelenting current—it has me by my ankles.”
