Disabled people are the experts on our bodies and should be trusted to decide what is best for us. But ALSO, I have spent approaching 40 years in aggressively scent-free environments, because my mama and I are not STUPID and wish to stay alive, and I regularly forget that various things HAVE perfumed options. Even when those items are perfumed 90% of the time.

"Of COURSE you can light a candle, I love fire!"

"Oh, can you throw my sweater in with the other clothes that got muddy? It's cold out and I'd like to wear it home."

"I'm gonna go over and play with those long sticks in the pretty holder. Your knickknacks are so PRETTY!"

So please, if you know your friends and they are as easily distracted from their own health as I am, ask them if they WANT you to step in before they murder themselves via easily avoided dangers. The amount of times I have had to choose between

having my brain shut down from fumes that I accidentally okayed, and

awkwardly telling someone that actually all their work needs to be undone because I forgot that people like pretty smells

is an unpleasantly high number.

in case you're wondering what the greatest AMV of all time is, it's this one from 2008.

i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

the curse of adhd:

i will remember with absolute clarity, when the thought strikes me that i have a text to send someone, that this is the fourth time in three days i've attempted to send this specific text

i will forget, in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, that i picked it up intending to send a text

Macklemore cancels his show in Dubai to boycott the UAE in solidarity with the people of Sudan:

“At the end of the day I have to ask myself what is my intention as an artist? […] Although dismantling systemic oppression might not fully happen during my lifetime, our collective analysis is evolving. That is where it starts. When we realize our individual liberation IS Palestinian liberation. Is Sudanese liberation. Is Congolese liberation.”

He also writes:

“The last 10 months l've been learning what factors/motivators feed genocide and global systemic oppression. I keep getting led back to self interest over collective interest at the root. Capitalism is the glue that holds this ideology together. And if I take the money, while knowing it doesn't sit right with my spirit, how am I any different than the politicians l've been actively protesting against?”

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

Hey, guys? Make peace with yellow teeth. I'm so serious right now.

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together
