As an Autistic Person, I've Learnt to Stop Pushing Myself out of my Comfort Zone...

Wanted to share this clip normalboydex posted from Chappell Roan’s Raleigh concert—remembering your favorite artists are more than just entertainers and get overwhelmed too is so important.

I love the artistry Chappell puts into her costumes and shows and how high energy she is, but I dearly hope people give her some room and let her breathe too 🩷🫶

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

"one more shot then im quitting forever" is an insane line to come from the guy who responded to the (very unnecessary) hatred over his album + last album he worked on with a letter that was so upsetting many people thought it was a suicide note.

one thing i've just been noticing abt ivory's videos is just. the idea of proving yourself, despite all of the odds against you. if its fighting a 100 wardens or killing god, there's always something to be proven. it's proving that you are capable of accomplishing anything, and you'll do so in a heartbeat.

and that, of course, builds a reputation, right? everyone knows ivory! and she's built a very intense reputation for herself, and she's pretty much feared on every single smp shes on

but with that reputation...you're pressured to keep it up. you're forced to go onto the next big thing. to prove that you can accomplish anything in a heartbeat.

so you do the same things over and over again, ramping up the stakes without taking a minute to calm down and breathe

but maybe, there's a small part of you that begs you to stop. to slow down, take a moment for yourself, and take a moment to look back at everything. just to rest

but.

you have a reputation to uphold. even as part of you screams at you and forces you to put in the breaks, the only thing on your mind is to keep on going. to prove you can do what you've set your mind to, and what you've worked so hard for.

(but in the end, it barely feels like anything before you turn away and look for the next accomplishment to complete, because you've killed off the part that forces you to step back and question what you're doing.)

Sometimes… sometimes I wonder how someone can look at another person, hear that they’re struggling, and then somehow make it about themselves. Subtle enough that it’s not “who cares, let’s talk about me” but direct enough that the other person has to swallow down anger and frustration as to not escalate the situation

i hate how people lose interest in fandoms so quickly now because i always feel pressured to write before the “hype” dies 😭

[luv-again]

tempted to just go to bed tonight without writing much bc I seriously need rest. the roofing stuff has been so disruptive to my sleep schedule that maybe I just need to flag it for now. my brain is barely chugging along, it's not what I wished for this week at all, but it is what it is. perhaps this weekend things will be set right ??

idk the flow isn't there and I'm assuming that's why, but who knows. best for me to sleep it off I think

fuck, audhd burnout is a bitch.

Jill goes underappreciated so much and I am prepared to fix it. Her story is just as rough and painful as Leon's, what with being mind controlled and left on her own to be chased through Raccoon City by a giant monster. Granted, she's had more training that she actually chose for herself, but I want to see more of her trauma and how she experiences the world. She always has an exterior that makes it seem like she knows what she's doing at all times, but I wonder how much she really does....

slowly, slowly, slowly learning how to bridge the gap in my teaching between overexplaining and underexplaining so I hit that exact sweet spot of getting the kids to the place where they’re interacting with a text that is absolutely over their heads and out of their leagues but their excitement, generated by me but sustained by them, and the right amount of scaffolding and explanation lifts them up to be able to meet it, enjoy it, learn from it, be affected by it.

[Hi I'm not dead! I don't have any big reason for dropping off the face of the earth I just haven't had a ton of art motivation recently. With christmas coming up I mmmight not get back to posting before the new year but we'll see, I don't wanna give myself a set deadline so I'll leave it as hopefully new answers soonish!]

i love job hunting in my field always the same 3 companies who obvsly cant keep anyone, the same 3 staffing companies that ship you off to even shittier positions in those companies if not the fucking government, the same 3 hospitals who want clinical certification i dont have, same 3 universities throwing up part time research grunt jobs their own students wont take. you find something that isn't those and it demands half your weekends and holidays. anyway dont get a stem degree if you arent gonna stay in academia or do some medical shit bc im going to kill myself ****************

Lies face down on the ground. I am not an emotionally stable individual. I need a break
