Love ADHD (sat on my bed weeping silently as not to disturb my sleepy boyfriend, hot to go chorus looping in my head)

I know it's unfair vilification and stuff but it's also a lot of fun to see old media and stuff where people were SO scared of big animals like lions, sharks, crocodiles and wolves were fully expected to just come and eat you the moment you stepped into their territory. In older media we also made that assumption about gorillas and in still older we thought it'd be whales. But some animals that will actually fuck you up got left behind. Boars will kill you and eat you. They're way more likely to do so than any of those other things actually. Hippos, obviously, got off like bandits always being depicted as cute and dopey. And then there's the squids. Not giant kraken size squids. The eight foot squids that hunt in packs and will fuck you up if you fall in the water at night. I can't BELIEVE people slept on that. It's like all they cared about were the huge deep sea ones we never see. The medium size wolf pack squids were right there.

I mean, if you know what they are and someone says they had a really good spider last weekend, you'd probably guess right. If someone said they had a really good float, you might think they mean soup and then go order a floater from the place they recommend, thereby embarrassing yourself because they don't do them

Every summer I forget how much I fucking love spiders I’ve drunk one every day this week

Cis women who advertise trans men as an ‘alternative’ to dating cis men and just emotional abuse their trans man partners are going to be tortured forever in the torture pit. The cis women making posts saying shit like “trans men are like if a man was written by a woman” are going to the pit first.

its kinda depressing but I do 100% believe my RSD isn't inherent to ADHD, but is learned from a lifetime of fucking up social interactions without understanding why. After about a decade, I had completely internalised that I'm a terrible person who ruins everything, and any minor criticism is simply a reminder that returns me to my default state of overwhelming self-hatred.

RSD truly is the shittiest part of adhd. I thought i maybe heard someone say something under their breath that was mildly critical of me and i instantly deflated.

From happy and talkative straight to quiet and sad and desperate to be alone.

what gets me about every instance of clubbing/partying discourse on here is the Jughead complex people bring to it. Oh I'm weird I'm a weirdo of course I've never been to a party or the club only cool normal people have access to those things. Which is just completely false the biggest freaks I know are partying harder than anyone you just have to pluck up the courage to go the first time and then you'll see there's nothing special about these spaces and nobody at a party when you're an adult is going to care if you're socially awkward

autistic anger issues are So Much. i have my temper more under control now in that i rly dont yell/lash out anymore but i do regularly boil inside with incandescent uncontainable rage over something inconsequential and then it evaporates in the span of ten minutes. incomparable

honestly books are so amazing. like here is a big Piece of Information. don’t worry, you will only receive the information one page at a time, slowly, over the course of eight or more hours. you can stop in the middle of this if you want to get a snack or sleep. there is no need to look at a screen. the paper makes nice scratchy sounds. i love you books

Using he/she pronouns is shit cause they're awkward to say. If someone tells me she's in her she/they era that's fine but if I say I've been leaning he/she lately it does not sound how it's intended.

I've seen people say terf rhetoric is any hatred of men and I've seen people say terf rhetoric is anything transphobic said by anyone. the refusal to actually engage with the reality that terfism is primarily focused on oppressing trans women is in itself a form of transmisogyny. yes they hate all trans people, but it is quite easy to see who they primarily target with their words, actions and policies, you just don't want to care about trans women. claiming someone is a man hater doesn't mean you get to call them a terf or a radfem, thats an obvious, willfull dilution and denial of what terfs are.
