At this point the only thing I like about America is Spirit Halloween

I think, as a diagnosed autistic person (for myself I don't prefer "person with autism"), the thing I dislike the most about The Good Doctor is that he seems so utterly baffled by neurotypical (NT) customs. It's like watching him experience the world for the first time, as though everything he says utterly baffles him. We as the audience are experiencing him for the first time, but surely this is not his own first time dealing with these issues. Whereas myself and other people I know who have autism have this sort of utter boredom with NT customs; I feel like there's a sense of jadedness as well. In terms of autism portrayal in media, I much preferred Brie Larson's character in Lessons in Chemistry: brilliant, direct, and firm.

I hate Jim Gaffigan with all of my fucking heart and soul because his wife did so much physical, mental, and emotional labor for their family that no one fucking noticed she had a brain tumor until her child's pediatrician noticed that Jeannie had hearing loss in one ear during her child's checkup. Jeannie wrote a whole memoir about this (When Life Gives You Pears) and her takeaway was that she wasn't being a good parent because she was "trying too hard to be SuperMom" and that she should learn from Jim's spontaneous parenting style. UM HOW ABOUT JIM SHOULD FUCKING COMMUNICATE WITH YOU and do his fucking job as a fucking parent of five fucking children and not, as you LITERALLY DESCRIBE HIM, your "sixth child".

Anybody want to go in on a betting pool based on how long it takes them to just say the n-word instead of DEI?

I don't know if this will be useful to anyone but if your job is going to fire you for a bullshit reason (American jobs specifically) it'll be in the first quarter of the year. If you can make it through April you're probably good until then. They'll start laying groundwork to fire you during the last quarter of the year August-December so be on the lookout for bullshit in a performance review, a new hire who does the same role as you, stuff like that.

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

If Jonathan Bailey and Andrew Scott ever played love interests the sheer force of their chemistry would cause the heat death of the universe

No one:

Romance writers: she was NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS she was DOWN TO EARTH she never wore MAKEUP and wasn't interested in FANCY CLOTHES and she liked PIZZA and BEER

I was listening to SOPHIE (Whole New World/Pretend World) and every five seconds the audio would change and I was like "wow this is really cool and avant-garde" but I was just scrolling through Instagram and the post audios were playing

I hate Zeke from Bob's Burgers. I hate him so much lol. I can't describe to you how much he fills me with disgust. I hate his stupid nickname for Jimmy Jr. (J-Ju); I hate his "IM GONNA GETCHA" catchphrase, especially when he uses it for Tina, and I hate how he's always idiotically WWE-ing the shit out of Jimmy Jr. I actively want terrible things to happen to him every time he's onscreen.

I didn't think I had daddy issues growing up but I now realize it's not normal for your father to refer to your mother as "It" and the "monster."

plot twist I got so sick of seeing this baby jelly bean in my feed that I muted the tags on tumblr and insta

I loved the wheelbarrow photo so much that I tried to paint it. I used Winsor and Newton gouache.

Once again it rained all day and the sun only appeared in the early evening... At least this unusual June weather gives the pasture a wonderful rainy-flowery smell. ♡ I hadn't socialised with my animals all day so I ended up walking around with my glass of apéritif saying hello to various creatures. The hens were busy hunting evening insects (can you spot the hen in one of the pics?), frogs kept grumpily jumping out of my way in the wet grass, and I interrupted the cats in the middle of a conversation. Only my loyal donkey looked pleased to see me and followed me around devotedly (I had rosemary breadsticks in my pocket)

I love Falsettos; I do, but as someone who attended therapy for almost a decade, I'd really love for there to be a world in which Mendel loses the SHIT out of his therapist's license.

Um, Grace Hopper (computer programming) and Hedy Lamar (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), anyone??? Windshield wipers? Kevlar? Stainproofing? The entire genre of horror fiction? The world's first novel?

seriously is there a photographer selling a hi res print?? I need to frame it and display it in my home.

I just want to be in a position where if I lose my job it's not a life-ruiningly chaotic event that causes massive trauma that takes years to climb out of.
