i have never met an unpsychotic person who knows what it actually means to “not encourage the delusion” …not a single one
Though the jokes that "since gay pride month is over, july is now gay wrath month" are funny and all, it's important to remember that July is ACTUALLY Disability Pride Month and y'all should really be focused on boosting disabled voices and issues this month! For instance, the fact that marriage equality doesn't actually truly exist in the United States for disabled people, or the fact that disabled people are forced to live in poverty or lose their disability benefits, or the fact that 1 in 5 people with chronic pain end up sufferring from alcoholism or other addictions, or how accessibility is still a daily battle for all of us, or how there are active hate groups on places like reddit who try to "call out" those they see as "faking" their disabilities.
This July, boost disabled voices. Talk about the issues that our community faces. Call out ableism.
just a reminder if you’re bored you can always answer some simple trivia and give rice to people in need.
and it’s absolutely free

if tumblr users found out about the simple concept of “different people have different boundaries about media and that’s normal” their brains would explode
So my sister (aka my best friend, not actual sister) is coming over on Friday and staying until Sunday. So Friday evening and Saturday we’ll be doing multiple cosplays! Please feel free to ask the characters things, as well as send in truths or dares.
The character pairs we’ll be doing are:

Yata Misaki/Female Fushimi Saruhiko (K Project)
Kurusu Syo/Kurusu Kaoru (Uta no Prince-Sama)
Noiz/Aoba (Dramatical Murder)
Nezumi/Shion (No.6)
Kagamine Len/Kagamine Rin (Vocaloid)
Saeran Choi/MC (Mystic Messenger)
I’ll be reblogging this on Thursday or Friday!
Exactly!!!!! But you don’t know what you should do because everyone’s just staring at you and making snide comments rather than offering help!!!!! And if they decide you’re asking too many questions or ask them to repeat themselves, they get irritated and tell you you should already know that, or they just told you, but they told you in a way you just can’t understand! So then you stop asking questions, and then when you mess up they get irritated at you again because you didn’t ask for help!
I think that sometimes, having autism/ADHD is kind of like being in a country that speaks a language/has a culture you only know a little of.
•You think you’re good to go, but you get to your destination, and everyone’s speaking faster than you thought they would. You can only tell what a few words are.
•You can’t keep up with anything anyone is saying. They’re all speaking too fast, and all at once. You try to ask them to slow down and speak one at a time, but they brush you off.
•You go to a restaurant, and you think you know how to order, but you sit down and see things you never learned on the menu, and when it comes time to order, you can’t remember how to.
•When you look around, you can’t quite understand what all the signs and store names say. Slowly, you get a headache from reading them and trying to translate them into something that makes sense.
•When you do something normal in your country, people stare at you like you’ve grown a second head. You don’t understand why—it’s completely normal to you, something you do all the time. When you explain this to them, they shake their heads and click their tongues at you and make a generalization about your country.
Idk, this is just kinda how I view it!
My mom, every time I mention something I do is probably related to my autism/ADHD/OCD: Um, no. That’s just you as a person. You don’t need all these labels!
My neurodivergent ass, wanting these labels so there’s proof to myself I’m not alone and it’s not just me:
I hope this can be a safe space for all who need it. (He/him. Spoonie. I’m over 18.)
