Got A Major Pest Problem This Year Actually

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

chronic pain diagnoses are all like yeah we don't know what this is or why it happens. we also don't know how to treat it. good luck out there soldier

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with "former gifted kids" but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn't. Who were grouped with the "stupid kids" (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)

Autistic kids and adhders who can't relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.

I love you all and I'm so sorry the school system failed you. I'm sorry you weren't properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I'm sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.

if you’re starting a sentence with “as a white person” “as a cis person” “as someone who’s skinny” etc etc that is your sign to stop ✋ and consider if what you’re about to say is actually that important, or if you’re just expressing your penitence to the exact group of people who would really rather not hear you talk about how guilty you feel. like maybe just think for a couple seconds about why you feel like you have to finish that sentence

Listen to me. Hairy dykes are vital to the community. Essential. And I mean hairy dykes. Happy trails, fuzzy stomachs, chest hair on breasts or flat chests or otherwise, hairy pits, full bushes, hairy arms and legs. Hairy asses. Facial hair. I’m talking all of it. If you’re a hairy dyke you’re a cornerstone of this community I love you you’re so sexy

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers
