executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.
& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”. it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it.
i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks.
The First and Last times Merlin Braided Arthur’s Hair (And a few other times as well)
This is in response to the numerous requests I have had to draw Merlin doing Arthur’s hair. Because I think there is a level of intimacy and trust involved in grooming someone else’s hair. I was inspired examine the relationship between Arthur and Merlin (and how it develops) through these moments.
what terfs think happens when we agree with a post but then disagree upon realizing op is a terf:
terf: -and thats why i think women should have spaces free from men
normal person: i agree!
terf: im a terf btw
normal person: i no longer agree out of spite and will ignore you even though youre correct and i know it
what actually happens:
terf: -and thats why i think women should have spaces free from men
normal person: i agree!
terf: im a terf btw
normal person: i now realize that when you said “men” you meant a certain subset of women, and changing the subject of a sentence changes its meaning. when you change “men” to “trans women” i no longer agree
.
if i see one more post from a terf acting all smug about people agreeing with their crypto shit im gonna scream. no, we arent drinking your kool-aid, youre just too much of a coward to say what you really mean
This comic from Lilo the Autistic Queer (@A_Silent_Queer on Twitter) made me smile today. There is no one way to look trans, and no one way to transition. However you choose to express your authentic self is good and doing what makes you happy regardless of what cis people think is good.
