I know no one cares but I could really use help to save up money this man I live with her dad won’t know about so I can save up for a deposit and a moving truck so I can get out! Let’s just say I don’t feel he watches our three year old and I fear for my saftey at times if theirs a way in here to tip you can I do have a PayPal he doesn’t know about. So if you can help me please it would mean a chance at a normal life for us both!

The Wild Robot is amazing but please be careful if you’re photosensitive - the opening sequence had some very harsh flashing and strobing lights!

My mom: sure you’re shy but you don’t have that much anxiety, you don’t need medication

Me: *has actual panic attacks*

Mom: Ok maybe you need medication but it isn’t extreme anxiety

Me: *literally develops psychogenic seizures, has both depression and PTSD, and obsessive thoughts common in OCD*

Mom: yeah but you’re not mentally ill cause it’s not like you’re crazy

baby witnesses jesse having a breakthrough seizure and it fucking Terrifies her. she's doing her homework at the kitchen table when there's suddenly a horrible loud thump in the den and when she peeks in, she sees him convulsing on the floor. his eyes are painfully wide and open but unseeing—just like her mom's were when baby pushed open the bathroom door and found her body on the tiles. she does exactly what she did that day: she goes to the phone, dials the vet office's phone number (it used to be written down and taped next to the phone but baby has it memorized by now), and tells demi. this time, demi doesn't sound as scared and reassures baby that it's okay, she's leaving work right now but j will be okay. baby doesn't believe her and stays in the kitchen even after the sound of his limbs hitting the floor stops, too scared to go back in there and see his body. she feels awful and ashamed for not going to try to help j, but she's so terrified that she can't move. she's so afraid that she'll walk in there and he'll be dead. finally, demi comes home and stops to give baby a hug and a "it's okay, honey, u did so good" before hurrying into the den. baby hears demi's voice, then j's voice (alive), and is briefly overwhelmed by incredible relief before being crushed by shame. she stood here and did nothing all because she was scared. demi steps back into the kitchen and gently invites baby into the den, taking hold of her hand as baby looks up at her with the same dazed, distraught expression that she'd worn during the weeks after her mom's death. once baby sees him though—sitting on the floor and looking a little dazed himself, but ostensibly Alive—she immediately crumples and runs over to hug his neck, sobbing. "im sorry, j, im sorry for leaving u alone. i wanted to come help but i got scared and im sorry." he wraps his own arms around her shaky little body, holding on tight like they'll both fall apart without it. "dont be sorry, baby. u didnt leave me alone, u were right here. u got help. do u know how brave that is??" baby doesn't feel brave right now, crying into his hair and afraid to let go because letting go always equals death, and she doesn't believe him. she won't ever believe him, honestly. but hearing his voice and feeling his warmth and smelling his familiar scent of fresh-cut pine is all she needs in the moment. she needs to know that it won't happen again, not now that she has something special.

so my mom mentioned to my brother that i didnt have the best of times at pride the other day because like people were at least 2½hrs late so i was just kinda sat there alone for a long time.

and my brother has told me that next year, hell go to pride with me and hell get his best mate to go too, and is he trying to tell me something? are one of them, or both of them queer? or is it just aggressive allyship? i cannot tell.

[image description: a still from seinfeld of various characters holding up their hands defensively and saying, "not that there's anything wrong with that."

a meme of one stick figure firing a gun at another, who raises a shield that deflects the bullet to hit a third figure. they're labelled "you" (the shooter), "person you're mad at for, like, 'being lazy' or whatever" (person with the shield), and "ur disabled friend who now knows how u would think abt them if they weren't ur friend" (the person who gets shot." end description.]

interaction i have with shocking regularity is when someone’s complaining abt someone they know and theyre like “ughh they’re 21 and dont have a job and refuse to learn to drive” and then they remember who they’re talking to (me. 21 cant work cant drive) and go like

So I guess the post I made about my daughter going to get her assessment in pre-K early pre-K night I had did not go as I expected it we met after they compiled their data from their meeting with Penny, and she is now being switched and being put on an IEP, she won’t be in the same classroom that she wants was and I am Feeling like a failure as a mother and I know that the things that she needs work on are things that we continually work on at home and see progress on and she is a very shy kid. They did note that and so the teacher that has her now even mentioned starting her over she just now in the middle of the school year has started to open up in that classroom, and I just feel like moving to a new classroom. She will be even further behind, but I have faith that things will go well, even though my car’s transmission just went out along with his windshield wipers I know that’s a weird combination and I’m struggling to afford things, but  i’m hoping that just staying positive will be enough to get us through this because she is a very smart child, and a very independent child for only being three years old. She has such an old soul and is so full of laughter and positivity. I don’t know where I’m going with us, but I just needed to vent so thank you for listening.

Honestly, i think about this everytime i see christmas decorations or anything else with fast flashing lights

I'm not epileptic, but between the Cyberpunk2077 and Avatar 2 stuff, is anyone else getting the feeling that studios are getting a bit more...lax with making sure their shit doesn't cause seizures in photosensitive people?

Crazy to constantly have your dreams crushed (or attempted to be) by everyone around you due to something you can’t control

also also jake hears a coworker offhandedly mention their epileptic wife years and years and years after jesse disappears and has to excuse himself to cry over his brother for the first time in a long long while
