Hot take: it's fucking idiotic to call someone who is just calmly trying to explain their actions or emotions 'rude'. It's ESPECIALLY idiotic to say that to a small child. You'll end up turning them into a fucking doormat unable to speak up for themselves (me)
Kids can't properly control tone yet. I ESPECIALLY couldn't due to autism. So to hold a kids tone to the importance of the tone of an actor on set to get the correct feel is completely idiotic. And some teen girls literally *just sound like that*. They aren't "being rude" that's just what her voice sounds like. They aren't "making excuses" they are genuinely trying to fucking communicate their reasons so that an understanding can be reached. This shit is why EVERYONE SUCKS AT COMMUNICATING AND WE NEED TO FUCKING STOP DISCOURAGING HONEST AND OPEN COMMUNICATION
Most kids are innately honest until they are taught to lie by society or their parents. By making them FEAR honesty. By punishing them for communicating you are teaching them to lie. You are making lieing feel like the safest option even when you punish for lies. Because at least with the lie there's a chance of no punishment, but with the truth you'll 100% get punished.
talking to other neurodivergent people is my favorite bc we’re either info dumping or trauma dumping and now i know a ton about u and we met 20 minutes ago.
like talking to neurotypical people is kinda boring compared to it. like stfu about how school was today, and tell me the complete history of jesters and the hand you’re aunt had on your parents divorce, or leave.
Sometimes I want to do too much at night. Sometimes the only solution to make that one thing that I finish a doodle. 2-4 usually make do so I can let myself sleep :p
after updating i still have that utterly bizarre phenomenon on mobile where occasionally, upon scrolling past a (seemingly) random video on my dash, my phone screen will just inexplicably grow brighter while going past the video. even if I'm scrolling real fast there will be a clear & noticeable blip of increased brightness as long as the video takes up a significant portion of the screen.
if I check my settings both while on the screen-brightening video and while off it, the setting is exactly the same even though I can see my whole screen is literally brighter.
upon remembering that this only happens when one specific blog I follow *cough* @pangur-and-grim *cough* reblogs videos from @crittercrew, I visited crittercrew's blog and scrolled past a couple videos and each time my phone went brighter. no clue why! crittercrew I think your pets might be magical or something. or this website/app is busted.
