really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite
Forever baffled by the fact that Tim Burton is still thought of as a defender of oddness. He treats monsters as things to be gawked at, to be drawn and imagined, then put away in a safe little box. He doesn't love monsters, he loves freak shows.
Sooo weird how when people interpret me as a gay trans man they think I’m a perverted women with a fetish trying to rape gay men but if I’m interpreted as a straight trans man they think I’m a poor butch lesbian who was indoctrinated by the trans agenda….
Like what if I’m just some guy. Why do I have to be a pervert or victim. Why can’t I just be a person.
so what if a teenager or kid (or anyone) adopts an identity label that they find out doesn't fit them, or discard later in life? you had baby clothes that you no longer fit into and were discarded. growing is a part of life.
Really anything crunchy and not sticky will do some good! Actually one of the reasons our ancestors didn’t get nearly as many cavities we get when we don’t brush our teeth is because of the crunch in their diet!
mental health pro tip: if you're really struggling with brushing your teeth/don't have the spoons for it, maybe try eating an apple instead! it does a pretty good job of cleaning your front teeth and making them feel less 'fuzzy', plus your breath will smell better too. sometimes i find this easier on a bad day (and it's a good simple filling snack, if you're struggling with meal prep, too)
The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.
Hey if you have ADHD and have problems with impulse shopping online I have a method that helps me not waste as much money.
If you’re on a website that lets you make an account (most websites) do that. I know they’re just selling your information and spamming you with emails but you can opt out of the emails and trust me this method helps. After you’re logged in fill your cart with everything your brain wants from the page, now you can see exactly how much it would cost.
Now this is the important step:
CLOSE THE TAB.
I don’t mean just don’t buy it, that’s the whole problem we’re trying to solve. Just close the tab with the full cart. Many websites will send you an email in a day or two with a discount code to get you to buy the cart. If they don’t there’s a good chance you’ll forget about the cart which I guess solves the problem anyways but if they do you can go back and see your cart.
Now you have everything that caught your interest in the cart so you won’t be going through the store page again and adding more and it has been at least a day since you made it so you can go through the cart without the excitement of novelty and sort out things that you don’t *really* want.
I know this is just a temporary method that doesn’t fix the problem but this method has really helped me control my impulse spending and I hope it might help at least one other person.
