this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things. #people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time. #but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized. #sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement. #this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex. #and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love. #our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!! #it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild.... #anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that. #silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff. #love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that. #kiss kiss (<— lovelessly) #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

Autism is only an invisible disability because you fuckers don't want to acknowledge that a good portion of those freaks, weirdos, creeps, and 'idk they just give me bad vibes' are autistic.

#actually autistic #actuallyautistic #autism #autistic #autism spectrum disorder #obviously thats not solely autism #theres quite a few other things that get the same treatment #but the point remains #autism is only invisible because you ignore it unless you can pity it #and the ones who arent invisible or pitiable are 'fakers' anyway #right #get fucked #op

new cooking show where the judge panel is a bunch of neurodivergent people with the same ick food and the chefs are challenged with finding a way to prepare it that the most amount of judges like

bonus points if the winning recipes are put online somewhere

#Like everyone in the judge panel is united by their dislike of shrimp #And then like a dozen chefs try to make shrimp in a way some of them will like #I personally hate the texture of mashed potatoes so it would be interesting to see if there are any ways I could tolerate it #And I have a friend who cannot stand any form of potato but mashed #Both of us on the same panel and some poor chef has to find a way to prepare a potato that is not mashed but also mashed #Schrödingers potato #neurospicy #neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #neurodiversity #autism memes #autism spectrum disorder #autism #autism spectrum #actually autistic #actually neurodiverse

There's this really dumb part with having DID, which is what do you mean I haven't processed this shit yet? Because, surprise! Maybe you did process it, but was it you-you, or was it another you that did the processing, hm? Oh, sorry, looks like this current version of you never actually did go through that, so you're gonna have to process through these thoughts and feelings and memories allllll over again.

What do you mean I haven't actually worked through my issues yet I thought I was already through with this song and dance months ago *grumbles*

HEY! YOU! Yea, you, scrolling through Tumblr for validation and support for your executive dysfunction because you feel powerless: I love you, and I know you're trying your best <3 Take a moment and breathe. Let your chest unwind for a little bit as you read this post. I love you despite the things you cannot do, and I hope you find people who see your complexities and value you for them instead of putting you down. You deserve empathy and comfort. I know it's heavy, so thank you for continuing despite how hard it is. I see you.

#adhd #executive dysfunction #adhd paralysis #task paralysis #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #self-love #ive started to recover #it feels like heaven getting support and comfort instead of shame #its hard to accept too #but its lovely #and i wish everyone the same

Could you draw Toby having a crush on Y/N? If he doesn't already

(I just want a smooch bro and Toby is such a cutie patootie ≧◡≦)

You're in luck as I was cringing and drawing something akin to that, thinking how could I not embarrass myself further, and now I have a valid reason to post this lmao. My view is that he has his own way in liking y/n. Afterall, y/n is an unusual victim who managed to build some sort of fragile bond with him. It's just his feelings are slightly twisted with schizophrenia, bipolar and other disorders sprinkled on top, but he has also a very soft hidden side to him..just need to dig in deep, accepting his whole character so he could show it to y/n.

Uuuuhrgh, this song is so fitting for him-

#how does one draw a character with bipolar disorder help me- #at the same time y/n in my comics just wants to be left alone #but that's the beauty of it lmao #im cringing in my own dumpster #creepypasta ticci toby #art #my work #ticci toby #ticcy toby #ticci tobi #creepypasta #ticci toby x y/n #ticci toby x reader #ticci toby x you #creepypasta fanart #creepypasta headcanon #creepypasta x y/n #creepypasta x you

i am so sick of this

there is an established relationship between advanced age of the father and risks to the mother, to the pregnancy, to the fetus, and later to the child.

older men’s ticking biological clocks are harmful. their ages literally compound the dangers to women and to the children they have. increased age of fathers is related to things like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth, just to make a few. later health and mental problems have been observed in children of older fathers.

the number of older fathers is increasing. men feel entitled to father children well into elderliness. men also tend to seek out young women with which to have these children. the maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is currently the highest it has been since the 1960s. abortion rights in the U.S. are in extreme peril. this altogether makes the risk to women who reproduce w/ older men much, much greater.

i think we as a society need to start talking about this a bit.

screenshots of additional NYT article under the cut because i couldn’t figure out how to link without the paywall.

#was i not just talking about this #like come the fuck on. #personally my father was 45 when i was conceived (my mother was in her 20s) and i almost died at birth #my mother’s pregnancy was extremely high risk and caused permanent damage to her health #same thing happened with my younger sister—he was 50 when she was conceived #both my sister and i have suffered very poor health throughout childhood and adulthood #and we both have autoimmune disorders that are the first of their kind in either side of the family #just saying. #tagging for ref #older fathers #save

it's important to understand that dirk was not uniquely tortured or anything like that. in general it's not great to play the "who suffered most" game and going off the assumption that dirk had some kind of unique caliber of suffering compared to the rest of the cast feels like dismissing other characters and their unique challenges... also dirk already has a bit of main character syndrome within the fandom and those two things go hand in hand

#same with dave #not to say you can't headcanon him with x mental illness or disorder. just that it's not something that's unique to him

new gemini update was so good as always but I can't stop thinking:

big mama: there's nothing wrong with my sons

splinter: you fucked up two perfectly good kids is what you did. look at blue. he's got an eating disorder

wwhhhattttt? nooo, don't be silly. leo doesn't have an eating disorder.

leo and donnie have eating disorders--

#this is a Joke but also No It's Not #it's just different flavors lmao #but both of them have absolutely fucked relationships with food #my poor babies... :(... who did this to you...? #(it was me i did) #leo spends a lot of time worrying about whAT hes eating and how mUCH hes eating and if hes eating the rIGHT thing #largely due to his mom and also just being a celebrity/child celebrity in general #but also in part due to: #donnie has a lot of food sensitivities which have really never been accommodated for at all and as a result he just #has a very negative association with food and eating. he doesnt LIKE eating and he avoids it a majority of the time. #its stressful and unpleasant and he doesnt like it #which ofc only gave leo another reason to hyperfixate on food and calories and nutritional value etc etc etc #which leads to #ironically #leo (who def has an undiagnosed ed and restricts/denies himself food regularly): worrying abt making sure donnie eats enough #donnie will do the same thing back sometimes but not with the same obsessiveness that leo does #esp because the ideals surrounding eating and dieting set up around them really kind of just #lead them both to believe (at least to an extent) that leo is fine and eats a totally healthy and ok amount of food (esp in comparison to d #(no he doesnt)(and even when he does thats not the point) #tw eating disorders #cw eating disorders #eating disorders #tw disorders eating #cw disordered eating #disordered eating #gemini au asks #asks #anon

I'd absolutely love to see a hearing disabilities herb guide!

I'm deaf in one ear, so now I'm curious if there are any cats in the rewrite like me? I imagine they might avoid Gatherings because HEARING IN CROWDS UGH.

I need to pick a bunch actually! At some point, I plan to just toss more sight, smell, and hearing disabilities onto the various cats. It should be SUPER common, actually.

Especially in RiverClan.

Like... when I get around to these, RiverClan is going to keep coming up as having a notably higher proportion of deafness and scentlessness. Rivers are filthy. Their ears and snouts are going to be dunked full of gunk ALL the time, they develop a ton of infections. I'm guesstimating that around 15% of RiverClan should have some degree of hearing and/or scent loss, especially as they get older.

Also; Clan cats should be protecting their noses like tools. The same way that you might get scolded for misusing gym equipment, mentors should be chiding their apprentices for doing things like;

Sticking their noses in mud or snow

Eating food that is too hot (damage to the Jacobson's organ)

Sniffing ripe puffballs or other spore-forming mushrooms

Hanging out in dusty dens or unclean, musty spaces (this one wouldn't actually do anything bad, just makes a good superstition.)

But anyway! That's SCENT loss, which should be a waaaaaay bigger disability for Clan cats, but in humans we just don't really take as seriously. In WC, blindness should not have the same weight and scentloss should be a lot heavier.

For hearing loss in one ear, so far, there's just Strikestone, who canonically can't hear out of one of his ears. I will be casually throwing this onto more cats.

#I am not physically hard of hearing as in; I have had my hearing checked and it is fine #But I have auditory processing disorder as a result of my adhd/autism #So BIIIIIG mood I fucking hate trying to listen in crowds!! #For a long time I thought I was hard of hearing in one ear (on the same side I also have vision loss) #Because as a kid I DID take a test that came up positive #But then when I retook it as an adult there was no loss. Never known why. #Also @ other comment on the other post; I also have very minor tinnitus #I'll make sure to mention it as a possible quirk of hearing loss as well #bone babble #disability #better bones au

The Little Prince AU makes me feel all sorts of things, like how Donnie's eating disorder would likely be noticed by ever-perceptive Leo, but given the lack of a close twin relationship in this AU he probably wouldn't directly try to help besides the offer of food...

This is just your daily reminder that your lived experience is valid. No one else gets to speak on if you’ve had it rough or not. No one else gets to tell you that everything you’ve suffered through was for attention. No one gets to tell you that you should’ve just tried harder or been better. No one gets to tell you that someone else having it harder invalidates your own struggle. Your pain is valid. Your struggle is valid. You are valid.

#disabilties #mental illness #trauma #lgbtqia #transgender #non bianry #genderqueer #ptsd #bpd #physical disability #ocd #generalized anxiety disorder #major depressive disorder #gender nonconforming #and also just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean that other people aren’t #like please understand this #not all struggles are the same but they are all valid

Imagine if Jin Zixuan DID yeet his brother from another mother (🥲) down the stairs.

Meng Yao: I'm your brother. Happy birthday! 🥰

Jin Zixuan: There can only be one. YEET

I am truly sad he didn't; think of the 'No Doubles' memes that we could have had...

#ask #Convoluted edit...my apologies...but do you see my vision? #Original text is: 'jesus was kin with god and was executed because the roman emperor said no doubles.' #I sort of recall CQL/The Untamed having JZX kicking Meng Yao but I could be imagining it #My memory is bad. As I keep reminding everyone. Do not ask me to recall things. I have brain damage. And an attention disorder. #I'm a big fan of the theory of Jin Zixuan and Meng Yao being born same day AND year. Adds to the drama. Tragic not-really-twins #Also sitting here right now and realizing that their arcs go in the reverse direction of each other. #Parallels in the way your mirror image is the opposite reflection of you. #Every empty space one leaves is filled by the other. Every gain one makes the other diverts in the opposite direction. #Oh no I think its time to write another essay.

my love to the people who didn’t get up today

who didn’t face their fears today

who didn’t do the coping mechanisms

my love to the people who had breakdowns today.

my pride in the people who aren’t proud of themselves.

my love to the people who feel unworthy of love.

my love to the people who didn’t ride the wave but rather were swallowed by it, for they are still treading water even though they can’t see the shore.

you didn’t bring it on yourself. it’s just heavy. and it is not your fault. 🌹🌹
