I haven’t had a Tumblr since college and I think I forgot how to do this. What counts as worthy of yelling into the void?

Feels like those moments from earlier in my life when people would wrinkle their noses at me and say, “you don’t have to voice every thought that comes to your head.”

Which kind of destroyed me, honestly.

Because if I talk that much around you, share every thought that comes to mind with you - that means I trust you.

Maybe I trust too easily. (At least, I used to.)

If I share even a fraction of the constant maelstrom of my everyday thoughts with you, it means I think maybe you’ll be okay with me. Maybe you won’t mind, will tolerate, might enjoy, could possibly appreciate my weird-ass mind.

Neurodivergent.

Neuroqueer.

Neurofucked.

Neurospicy.

Neurokinky.

Neuroglimmering.

Neurosymphonic.

Neurometal.

Neuroequiphyllic.

Neuroenforcer, neurosniper, neurocenter, neurogoalie.

Neurosinger. Neurosongwriter.

Neuromusical.

Neurohyperactive.

Neuromethingsomethingsomething.

Whatever, but please take your wrinkled nose and sneer elsewhere.

Sigh tiredly all you want. You’re entitled to whatever it is you’re feeling.

But sometimes I think maybe you’re wishing you felt as free to say exactly what you think as I seem to you to be.

Then again, what does it matter? Ah, the usual möbius strip. I’m probably already trusting you/the void/Tumblr too much.

So how do I do this? Without indulging myself too heavily in any one extreme? Without sharing more than is

I almost said “appropriate.”

Fuck appropriate.

Harnessing the Spirit of the Springbok RWC Victory to Make a Difference in the Western Cape

When the Springboks claimed victory in the Rugby World Cup, the entire nation was filled with immense pride and inspiration. The triumph of the Springboks can serve as a powerful motivator for us all, igniting a sense of communal spirit and unity. In this blog post, we delve into how we can channel that same uplifting energy to bring about positive change in the Western Cape. Together, we can create a lasting impact and build a stronger, more resilient community.

Embracing Unity: The Springbok RWC victory showcased the strength that comes from unity and teamwork. Just as the rugby players joined forces to achieve their common goal, we too can collaborate and work hand-in-hand to uplift our communities. By fostering a sense of togetherness and inclusivity, we can create a solid foundation for progress and change.

Inspiring Youth: The Springbok victory captured the hearts of young South Africans across the nation. Let's capitalize on this enthusiasm by engaging and empowering our youth. By providing mentorship programs, sports initiatives, and educational opportunities, we can unleash the tremendous potential within the younger generation and nurture future leaders who will drive positive transformation within our communities.

Tackling Social Challenges: Just as the Springboks faced tough opponents on the rugby field, our community is confronted with various social challenges. Let's draw strength from the Springbok victory and confront these issues head-on. By collaborating with local organizations and offering support through volunteering, fundraising, and awareness campaigns, we can make a tangible impact in areas such as education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, and gender equality.

Building Resilience: The journey to Rugby World Cup victory was not without its setbacks and obstacles. Similarly, our community faces its own hurdles and adversities. However, the spirit of the Springbok triumph teaches us the importance of resilience. By developing strong support networks, offering counseling services, and fostering mental well-being, we can equip our community to overcome challenges and emerge stronger than ever before.

Conclusion: The Springbok RWC victory serves as a constant reminder of the incredible power that exists within us when we come together with a shared purpose. Inspired by the triumph, let us harness that collective energy to uplift the Western Cape. By embracing unity, inspiring youth, tackling social challenges, and building resilience, we can create a legacy of positive change that reverberates throughout our communities. Together, we can make a difference and leave a lasting impact that transcends boundaries and continues to inspire for generations to come.

Ageing India: Unveiling the Social Challenges Faced by Elderly Citizens

Introduction: India, a country with a rich cultural heritage and a rapidly growing population, is currently witnessing a significant demographic shift. The ageing population in India is increasing at an unprecedented rate, bringing forth numerous social challenges for retired individuals and elderly parents. It is imperative to shed light on these issues to create awareness and work towards finding sustainable solutions that ensure the well-being and dignity of our senior citizens.

Financial Insecurity: One of the most pressing concerns faced by the elderly in India is financial insecurity. Many retired individuals lack sufficient savings or pension plans to meet their daily needs, let alone cover medical expenses or unexpected emergencies. This vulnerability highlights the need for comprehensive social security systems and pension reforms that can provide a safety net for our ageing population.

Healthcare Concerns: Access to quality healthcare is another significant challenge faced by older individuals, particularly in rural areas where medical facilities are limited. As health issues become more prevalent with age, the lack of affordable and accessible healthcare services poses a grave risk to the well-being of the elderly. There is a critical need to prioritize geriatric healthcare and establish robust healthcare infrastructure to cater to the specific needs of older citizens.

Loneliness and Isolation: In a rapidly changing society, traditional family structures are evolving, leading to increasing instances of elderly parents living alone or being geographically separated from their adult children. This isolation and loneliness can have severe repercussions on their mental health and overall quality of life. We must focus on building support systems that foster intergenerational connectivity and address the emotional well-being of our elderly citizens.

Elder Abuse Awareness: A distressing reality faced by some elderly individuals in India is the occurrence of elder abuse. Physical, emotional, and financial mistreatment leaves the elderly feeling vulnerable and victimized. It is crucial to create awareness about this issue and establish legal frameworks that protect the rights and dignity of our senior citizens. Additionally, community engagement and education can help prevent elder abuse and encourage a culture of respect and care for the elderly.

Strengthening Social Support: To address the social challenges faced by elderly citizens, we need to strengthen and expand social support systems. Community-based programs, volunteer initiatives, and support groups can provide a sense of belonging and assistance to older individuals. Collaboration between the government, NGOs, and local communities is crucial in ensuring that the elderly have access to support networks that address their unique needs.

Enhancing Retirement Infrastructure: India’s retirement infrastructure is currently inadequate to cater to the needs of the growing elderly population. There is a need for comprehensive retirement planning mechanisms, including affordable housing, assisted living facilities, and geriatric care centers. By investing in infrastructure that promotes ageing with dignity, we can create an environment where older citizens can lead fulfilling lives and receive the care and support they deserve.

Ageism and Age Discrimination: Ageism and age discrimination are pervasive issues faced by older individuals in various aspects of life, including employment, social interactions, and healthcare. Changing societal attitudes and promoting intergenerational understanding can help combat these biases and create an inclusive society that values the contributions of the elderly.

Promoting Active Ageing: Active ageing is a concept that encourages older individuals to lead healthy, engaged, and productive lives. Through physical exercise, lifelong learning, and participation in social activities, older citizens can maintain their physical and mental well-being. It is essential to promote active ageing by creating opportunities for seniors to engage in meaningful activities and have access to lifelong learning programs.

Conclusion: Aumorto offers NRIs a powerful solution to the challenges they face in ensuring the well-being of their aging parents residing in Kolkata. By providing a nurturing environment, trustworthy care, cultural integration, comprehensive medical support and a serene retirement living experience, Aumorto empowers NRIs to offer their parents longer, healthier and more meaningful life. With Aumoto, NRIs can find solace, knowing that their parents are in the hands of a dedicated and compassionate society.

Autistic burnout and the dichotomy of "living to work" when your reality tells you it's the other way around

Autistic burnout and the dichotomy of “living to work” when your reality tells you it’s the other way around

If I’m truly honest with myself, and I have never been more so, I have burned out from every job I have ever had, no matter how long or short the time that I worked in it. My first job was only for 8 months post degree and the burn-out was subtle that time, but nonetheless the reason I would have taken anything to get away from it, so I did. Six months later I had another burnout, more serious…

You vs you

Yesterday I did social challenges in a mall with a friend. We laid down in the middle of the mall, talked to strangers, gave compliments and high fives (we got some weird looks). We do this because it increases our confidence by stepping into the unknown i.e., tension. As the process continued I realized more and more “its you vs you.” There is no enemies, no other players, no one but you. For…

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival

(Part 2)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #jiang fengmian #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #Yungmeng Jiang Training Arc AU #MDZS AU #The AU name for this idea is something I am 100% willing to change if someone has a better one. #There will be at least 2-3 more comics so *please*. Ideas and feedback welcome. #The core idea behind this AU is that LWJ goes to study with the Yunmeng Jiang sect instead of JC and WWX going to Cloud Recess #But why? Well I imagine Lan Xichen set it up to give LWJ a challenge (more social than skill based) and LWJ rose to it (begrudgingly) #Sort of a 'You've mastered so many Lan techniques but Other Sects have styles that are worth learning.' set up. #Lan Qiren agrees mostly on the basis that...well it's LWJ. Yunmeng Jiang is unruly but LWJ is beyond that riff-raff. He'll rise above it. #This is the story of a boy who thrives on routine and rules spending time in a place that is his apparent antithesis. #Also it is so warm there. He is used to it being cold and what do you MEAN just take off some of my layers? #I just want to see him struggle and flail in many situations. And get him in Jiang Purple. Is that so wrong of me? #(Soaking wet JC is part of my 'JC was born to swim; forced to hold a sword' agenda. Do not remove him from the water) #((Politeness notes: JFM would *not* call LWJ 'lan wangji' nor would LWJ be vocally impolite to a sect leader.))

Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.

Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #not to mention that so many people DO want to medically transition but *can't* #so it can be even harder for some when they feel social transition is their only option when they don't want it to be #but social transition carries its own risks and challenges and again rewards #and i've seen this idea plenty where it's like 'oh you don't GET my struggles because you're SOCIALLY transitioning' #and while yes i am different than some trans people to say i'm struggling *more* if i'm the only one medically transitioning is??? huh???? #i don't buy into this idea that social transition is never scary because you don't have the boot of the medical system on your back #(though non-med or pre-med transitioning people still face issues in medical settings so even THEN we aren't seperate) #like there's very few ways you can separate my issues as a medically-transitioning person and the issues of somebody who isn't... #...and by that i mean there's few ways you can separate our issues so that mine trumps theirs or that i'm seen as like... trans but More #does that make sense? #medical transitioning is important but that doesn't mean it is *more* important or that only *it* is important #you can support us who are medically transitioning without erasing the experiences and struggles of other trans people #and plus... so many of us who are medically transitioning NOW are the people who socially transitioned THEN #and dare i say i despised social transition more because of how hard it was? medical transition has been (more or less) easier... #...in that i can just *be* now

Misophonia...another "oh, that's just my autism" moment

Misophonia…another “oh, that’s just my autism” moment

I’ve suffered (I mean SUFFERED) with misophonia all my life and not realised it. Or should I say, I realised I had it alright, I just couldn’t give a name to it and had no idea it had anything to do with being autistic (which, in any case, I didn’t realise I was..until I was 51). That’s a lot of years spent living in the dark with such a primary effect upon quality of life! Misophonia isn’t just…
