Amazing take on the dash tonight. 'I think most people actually don't want or value or need romantic affection or attachment and that most people are aro' uhhhhhhhhhhhh????

Also like. I'm p sure what constitutes the difference between romantic and platonic and sexual affection and attraction is purely cultural and different to everyone. I wish people would stop focusing so hard on the idea that these labels are like actual objectively true things about people. Like, would some people probably be happier without feeling forced to pursue relationships by society? Sure. But saying that most people are Actually Aromantic and that 'very few' people actually want or value romantic attachment ???? I'm honestly kinda tired of these like 'most people are Actually bi lol' 'most people are at least a Little ace!!' Etc etc type takes. 'No one is Actually cis' like can you shut upppppp these words are just WORDS for extremely abstract cultural concepts that mean different things to everyone yall do not need to take them this seriously. And im just so tired of people being like 'man knowing about this identity helped me, im sure Everyone feels like this and Everyone actually secretly hates this common thing' like uhhhh no. They don't. Lol.

I wanna be a guy but like. Not in a gender way. In the "playing video games on the Xbox at 3 am with all your friends on call" way. In the "not afraid to walk down the street in the dark" way. In the "childhood friends who stay in touch after years, or college buddies who pick up right where they left of even after getting jobs on different coasts" way. In the "I have complete control over my body and won't be hunted down for liking girls" way. In the way that the world might have been a bit kinder to me if I was just born with a dick and balls. But no I get to bleed every month, make less money, get taxed more, and live in constant fear.

I wonder if people realize Sonas are meant to represent you and that they’re not really an OC to pair up with another OC

Had this experience with an ex-friend where they used their Sona for OC stuff and it was relatively fine until I realized how. touchy and lowkey intimate they tried being with my OCs and then my own Sona and it got uncomfortable

No buddy that’s just how I draw myself.

Fun times

specialized education and gifted children programs are so fucked up I see the purpose but the execution and expectations are genuinely horrific I've yet to meet a single one of us that's doing okay besides from those who just reached their breaking point and chose to stop caring

I really don't know how to explain to a wide swath of the online neurodivergence community that they let you rawdog ADHD even when you get bad grades, and it is actually Worse for children to be constantly shamed and belittled to the point they give up on schooling altogether forever than it is for young adults to have trouble remembering taking notes in college

Video I'm watching just made such a low blow comment of comparison. I hate to sound snobby but like, it's really rich coming from a YouTuber that "and Gen Z and Millennials aren't exempt from criticism because none of them want to work!" Like, I know that you know you chose the WORST possible choice. You know as well as I do it's not ugh these new kids aging into the workforce are SO entitled and #lazy

Next time I’m dealing with an upset kid, I’m going to remember my aunt saying to me, “That fight was the beginning of the end for you and [cousin who a whole airport staff couldn’t unload all my baggage with]” when I was jokingly recounting a spat we had when we were twelve and I called her a ‘motherucking bitch’

Because that flabbergasted me so much I legitimately laughed and I’m still thinking about it.

‘Cause no. Oh my god no. That was the end of the end. That was when I finally said, “I can’t do this anymore.” That was it.

But my aunt couldn’t see that because to her we were just two twelve year olds calling each other names, /oh those two, so ‘close’ (in truth, we were just two girls who were the same age, our moms said we had to be close) but always bickering/ not the continued saga of pain and harassment that had been our shared childhood, twelve years worth, and the moment I was finally old enough to realize, “I should stop trying to be friends and instead never talk to her again.”

‘The beginning of the end’. As if those years when we were younger didn’t count and weren’t informative. They were. As if we didn’t have interiority and a complicated, broken relationship before that. We did. As if it was all petty before we were teenagers. It wasn’t.

It had ended a long time ago.

i feel like a lot of my fellow 20-somethings might not realize this but u can apply to a job even if u don't fit literally everything in the listing and you might get it anyway. even if they say 3 years of experience and you have none, just apply anyway you literally never know

[gnc-tits]

my worst quality as a student is that if i think an assignment is not worth my time i just dont do it. like thats not to say if i think its annoying or dumb i dont do it bcoz i still do some of those but if the net gain to my education and me personally isnt substantial i just wont do it! like what is the value here. what does this teach me like actually. like girl shut up

[jackett-slut]
