sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it
yeah so i’m ill actually
So i just got a phone call from my bank stating that if i’m not in the positive in 15 days my account will be closed out.
I’m currently in the negative $358.82 and don’t start my new job for another week. which means i won’t get paid for at least another 2 weeks if that and it’ll be too late.
if anyone can help, my credit score is shit rn so i don’t know if i could reopen it if it closes. even just reblogging would mean a lot

I literally only realised the other day that being called names such as ‘whore’ and being called lazy and fat often by my stepfather is not okay
And that when he’s calling me something I don’t like and I ask him to stop he says he won’t because ‘he can do what he wants because he’s an adult’
I didn’t realise for a long time that wasn’t okay
It's always infuriated me hearing people say that children have it easy. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older and have been able to reflect on my childhood and see the children around me grow up.
They do not have it easy. They don't get a say in most important things. They're seen is unintelligent, yet expected to understand things that full grown adults struggle with.
They've got a job, which is school, that is actually proven to not be working for a lot of them; myself included. They're expected to sit still and in silence for at least forty minutes at a time, and those with ADHD are treated as though they're immature and lazy because they often physically can't do it.
Far too many of them have abusive parents that lie through their teeth to make people think everything is fine, and of course, who would believe the child over the parent?
Aspects of abuse has been normalised. Parents are sympathised with when children open up about the things they've gone through, especially if they're not physical. They're told that their parents are only doing this because they love them, or that the child needs to start seeing things from their point of view. Meanwhile, adults can freely complain about their children on public forums and to friends and family and get away with it because "it's hard being a parent".
Fuck off and do better.

Ahhh okay thank you for explaining!!
hello 👋
is it ok to hate certain pronouns being used for you, but having none that you really, genuinely feel good with? I use they/them but it doesn't really give me that euphoria ppl talk about so I just wanted to ask
whatever feelings you have about pronouns are always okay.
it's probably more common than people talk about too. this is actually how i felt for a long time about my pronouns in german. i definitely didn't want german he/him or she/her, but no german neopronouns or it/its gave me the "right" feeling. i ended up kinda flip-flopping around.
sometimes "this'll do" is the best option.
(there's also always the possibility of not using pronouns or using multiple sets or making up your own neopronouns.)
my tumblr just broke yippee
