β€œBut you’re so [smart, articulate, fashionable, funny, capable, confident, successful, social] how could that be possible?”

Well you see, none of that has anything to do with my ability to effectively communicate on an interpersonal level & you just think it does bc our society is very shallow.

The temptation to go back to every single person who has sincerely asked, β€œwhat is wrong with you?!” & tell them I’m AuDHD & then hand them a white paper on how that impacts my ability to communicate & thus causes psychosocial distress that further alienates me from people despite my best intentions

Good question! Christian Zionism, which predates Jewish Zionism by 300 years, is predicated on the antisemitic desire to push all the world’s Jews into one nation.

My mom wants everyone to know that ICE still has a shit-ton of people in Minneapolis - and doing shitty things - in case anyone has missed that.

Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.

Oh, nothing. Just thinking about Michael Martin's "get out while you can" speech from Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets.
I miss him and his husband Eric all the time. Moreso now living downtown.

here's the thing:

even if you personally believe that Graham Platner is not a NaziΒΉ, we really shouldn't be putting minorities in a position where they have to give a White guy with a fucking Nazi tattoo the benefit of the doubt.

ΒΉ a belief that you should be skeptical of bc you want it to be true

The fear that nobody's talking about *gestures at the world today* IRL because they may not know what's going on is very real.

Hahha it's not all the time for me but when it does happen it's the most annoying thing ever.

I was being silly playing with this dog and made little raspberry noises at him and he turned around and pointed his butt at me πŸ˜‚
He's like "nanny, those are fart sounds"

New Orleans should change its slogan from "The City That Care Forgot" to
"The City Where Couples Argue Whether They Walked in the Wrong Direction"

Robot or human?

I might go in a completely different direction than this, but these would work with the other things I have. www.walmart.com/ip/181522685...

I found a really awesome deal on a matching pair of chairs that are being clearanced but the shipping is a little high (makes sense for what they are but still a factor with cost)

I have been spending a weird amount of time browsing online for deals on comfortable accent chairs for my room. I'm being extremely picky and also have a super stingy budget but I'm determined to find exactly the right thing even if it takes a couple months.
