#no one picks up their damn phones

[thenwethrowitonthefire]

Shout-out to everyone who survived a "fun" easter with the family

#fucking hell #it started with finding out my dad smoked in my car when I picked up my sister #who was equally dreading the day #my mum turns into the world's tensest and judgemental presence. worsened by my aunt #then hell for autistic people (of which there are multiple present) #multiple deaf people means one uninspired conversation that isn't interesting in any way. #combinations of passive aggressiveness and people not saying a thing because they can't participate. voice volumes too damn high #weirdass food situations. Very full table. so many smells. #this goes on for over an hour. wishing for literally anything but being there. soul crushing. #then you still have to sit in that room for 2.5 hours. it just goes on and on. #my autistic deaf dad physically looks like how I feel. my mum and aunt keep piling on top of him to demand his mental presence #i leave the room once (to get my phone to show pictures to my uncle) and am immediately followed upstairs by my mum #who demands I don't leave the room (What's next. following me when I need the toilet?) #me and my sister are so bored we start throwing paper planes and fake fighting. #Which amuses the bored and the deaf #but of course my mum and aunt have opinions and this is not allowed. only soul crushing boredom allowed #they complain to each other over it while aggressively doing dishes #finally it ends because my mum and aunt start insisting my dad should go to bed if he's 'that tired'. *sprinkle on some additional ableism* #still sitting through a conversation about allergies one of my sister's friends has. my mum preaching that people should take that seriously #(meanwhile i had to cook for myself for 9 years because when my allergies were really bad no one bothered to check if i could eat something) #me and my sister go sit upstairs to discover our mum has made things we care about vanish in her room #and made things appear that should not be there #I've washed the interior of my car and hope the smell will go #you think it's over after that. but woke up with the realisation that even more things have disappeared from my sister's room. #i can't remember a time when things left outside of my room didn't disappear #I don't know why we do these family gatherings at all. no one has fun on days like that. #the housing crisis isn't making these things easy. my sister is losing her place to live again as well #she'll go hiking for a month and then work on a campsite over the summer #maybe I'll go house sitting again. idk. #can't make commitments a few months in advance like that because I'll cancel everything the second Sparks announces anything important

I feel like I’ve lived through at least a month just in the past 3 days. I checked the date just now and damn near had an out of body experience when I realised Monday was only two days ago

#bro the absolute sodding emotional rollercoaster i have been through this past week should be studied by scientists #thursday: unsuccessful job interview. friday: found out that the job interview was unsuccessful. but one of the interviewers (actually a #former colleague of mine lol) gave me a piece of feedback that made me feel like i’d cracked the code for all future interviews #it was this: keep. talking. give as many details as humanly fucking possible. talk about policy. drop in words like safeguarding #list as many examples of stuff as you can. tell stories. bamboozle them #OH i forgot to even fucking mention we had builders at our house until friday. friday was the last day they woke me up with a cacophony #so the weekend was uneventful aside from there was a skip in the driveway and scaffolding all down the side of the house but zero men #monday: successful interview. found out it was successful 5 hours later. got off the phone having accepted the job…… and found a text from #my old boss (the boss i had at the job i really enjoyed. that old boss) inviting me to come back this summer #i had a bit of a mental breakdown but eventually decided to stick with the job i’d just got because it’s a permanent contract and they will #let me sit down #yesterday: found out that the foster doggy i applied for and really wanted is going to her forever home on thursday (which is now tomorrow) #obviously i love this for her but i was like ‘damn. okay’ #today: the foster co-ordinator was like ‘hey do you want to foster this rambunctious 3 year old unneutered terrier?’ #i was like ‘sure yeah what the fuck. that might as well happen’ #(they are neutering him beforehand. and he looks really cute. he’s not aggressive he’s just a young terrier with like 3 brain cells) #unless something finally kills me in the meantime i’m picking him up on monday. i cancelled therapy in order to do this. yes i’m well aware #that there’s a metaphor somewhere in there but it’s fine. i rescheduled therapy #i also have realised i do not know how and when i’m going to get my ssri prescription renewed… i know the pharmacy will call me in a couple #of weeks to make sure i haven’t died. but i think i was supposed to get a prescription renewal at therapy #the therapy i won’t be going to until like 5 days after my prescription runs out. that therapy. foook #honestly withdrawal symptoms would probably just spice up the situation at this point. they’d just make things interesting #i swear to god everything always gets crazy and stupid right before my birthday… remember when i turned 26 and couldn’t drink because i #was on antibiotics for a kidney infection. and when i turned 27 and one of my wisdom teeth tried to emerge #this is like that except with dogs and jobs. at least the skip and the scaffolding are gone now #i AM trying to sell a sofa on facebook marketplace so wish me luck with that ig #personal

literally why is it impossible to call anywhere any more. the automated voice systems are always so fucking difficult to navigate

#cannot call this fuckin post office. losing my mind #i accidentally left a ups package there bc i cant read #also had to call my psychiatrist and both of the people i talked to were so fucking rude #why do you work a job answerring phones and at a psychiatric clinic #damn and i just realized i forgot smth so i have to call again #had to leave a fucking message i hate these people #how can i call 3 times in 5 minutes and 2 of those times no one picks up

nearly broke down when I remembered I had these wips and couldn't find them amongst my many other wips. thought i lost them when my hard drive wiped itself cleaned :'D

#wips #LN #agata #my little sun 🥺 #(sorry. long tags warning ¯\_(ToT)_/¯) #no im still not over the hard drive incident. i will never be over it orz. BUUUUT! #let this be a reminder to always backup your works. twice. thrice. on spare google accounts. on phones. on micro sd cards ect. BACK IT UP! #damn. the second one is probably over a year old. almost done. just needed a few details. but now? i really am my meanest critic. #crying. just randomly remembered going over the mexican calendar of saint's with my aunts and uncles and smiling #at the fact that my grandma just picked their names based on the patron saint that corresponded with their date of birth #which is why the ''manañitas''—the mexican happy birthday song—mostly has the lyrics ''dia de tu santo'' (day of your saint) in place of #''dia de tu cumpleaños'' (your birthday). im sure it's still in trend. especially if you dont have a name or dont want to think #of one. like ''eh. i have a kid now. but no name for it. let's take a look at the calendar'' adsjfdgkkl #i bring this up cause while agata over here DOES have a name she does NOT have a canon birthday. and agata's name appears on said calendar #falling on feb. 5. though i kinda want her birthday to be on dec. 23. just for the sole fact that #nidhogg's falls on dec. 22 (sometimes the start of the winter solstice) and louie's falls on dec. 24 (a christmas eve baby 🥺 such a gift) #i just think it'd be hilarious for them. i can imagine them using the birthday card to not do anything and then midnight strikes and blam! #*snatching birthday kid's birthday crown* ''it's my turn with the birthday card. wash my cake dishes‚ yesterday's birthday kid >:)'' #(no im not normal about them. i dont think i ever will be :'D) #eh. will see how i feel about her birthday situation. at least it's not names i have to worry about ToT

just remembered how in the sixth grade there was a fucking riot in the cafeteria that ended in the entire grade getting silent lunch for like 3 months

#I think it was 3 months but it felt a lot longer. my god middle school was the school to prison pipeline at its finest #on one hand I think its unfair that we were all punished but to be fair the entire grade participated in this riot. I don't even remember #what we were rioting? I just remember a girl named whitney was involved and 1 thing led to another and whitney ran out of the cafeteria #and THE ENTIRE GRADE WENT AFTER HER 😭. myself included I didn’t even know why either but WE WERE AFTER THAT BITCH 😭 #it was so bad I remember everyone was heading one direction and then everyone started running back the other direction. #and I got knocked down in the process looking back this was really dangerous. but after that we got silent lunch for what felt like forever #like not only were we forced to sit with our homerooms (and some us didn’t even like our homeroom) but we couldn’t even talk to each other #which is honestly not good for socialization?? but again I can’t entirely blame them cause the situation was out of control. #but also shouldn’t the adults have had that thing under control??? anyways the person who ran silent lunch was the vice tyrant dr levine #he fucking hated us like that man was PISSED OFF and he made it clear cause if you made a sound during silent lunch #that man was gonna threaten you with detention extended detention ISS (aka in school suspension) #he didn’t even mean it but it was pretty good for instilling fear in us good kids. but one time I remember there was a kid who didn’t buy i #he didn’t give into levine’s fear tactic and levine started yelling “ISS!! OSS!! EXPULSION!!!!!” like calm down #I feel bad thinking about how so many kids who would ACCIDENTALLY make a sound were punished. and they were so damn terrified #cause it was like you were on your best behavior all of the time and then one noise and suddenly you had an out of school suspension #one time a boy named jc’s phone went off and he picked it up and it was his grandma asking him if he wanted ice cream 😭 no fucks given #and levine was screaming at him to hang up the phone and jc was like “this is my grandmother I can’t hang up" #and there came a time where we were finally off the hook and I just remember people in the cafeteria were clapping 😭 #like this was school sanctioned oppression and we were finally liberated... but then we were back to silent lunch and I don’t even know why #I remember once even I ended up in Levine’s office but I dont think its cause I was talking during silent lunch?? #I think it had something to do with bullying idk?? I just remember levine had my back during it and made the other kid cry and apologize #so shout out to levine. always good times goodbye!

so apparently I'm being asked to "choose a gender" for the property paperwork for my house because "non binary isn't an option" and I'm developing an eye twitch. do these people know they make laws for a reason

#i was informed of this by my mother so i asked for the notary's phone number so i can have the conversation myself tho cause god knows my #mother can't be trusted to mediate this information exchange #but if the paperwork really does only have a binary option then i need to be directed to the office in charge of receiving my complaint #and providing a legal defense cause that's just plain fucking illegal #and the paperwork needs to catch up with the human rights guaranteed by the law #which is gonna delight my mother a whole hell of a lot skhsjsjsvsbsjs #but I'm not fucking 'picking a gender' what the absolute fuck #and she just slipped that request into a conversation about setting a date to go sign the paperwork like it was no big deal #my mother: and oh yeah btw you need to choose M or F I'm only telling you because if i pick you're gonna get mad at me #me: give me a sec i need to google the number of the human rights organization in charge of this particular issue #we live in different realities at this point like bitch I'm not fucking choosing that's not how the law works!!!! #and you can bet I'm damn right gonna be upset if you pick one for me you alien from outer space what are you even saying #anyway living outside the gender binary is my favorite thing except when it comes to paperwork cause it turns out no one's fucking done #their homework in the two years since the law was updated and i have to demand that everyone does whenever i want to exist legally in any #space #which i will continue to do because the law says it's my right and someone has to fucking get these people to do their damn job at some #point for the sake of nonbinary people everywhere in the country but it's exhausting #why does it have to be me #alex txt

Not to complain about the system for a 1000th time but like

The hospital mom was in and doing tests before her upcoming surger have forgotten?? She was already on the observation there?? At the hospital?? For almost a week??

They called her in this morning to come and stay at the hospital for the said testing and observation. And she was like "i'm not doing that. I was there in march and did my tests. What i need is for you to tell me when to check in for my heart holter readings, it's been two weeks??"

And the nurse was so confused, told her reading is not done and hung up

???

At least mom is finding this funny and I'm just like. Nervous I need to place her well being in their hands. If they don't even know what the hell she's suppose to go through still.

#even worse they kept getting her phone number wrong #and using a system entered number from ages ago #as in her old work number #she left work 3 years ago...... #and then rudely claim she's not picking up phone #and she had to remind them TWICE that's not her number and give them the real one #so it's nice they finally got it to call her for this but #how do they not see in the said files that she did all tests aside from mri #like damn

It is all painfully coming together

#this is not to be alarming im simply referring to the drawing ive been busting my ass on since tuesday #which i worked considerably hard on yesterday... went for 7 straight hours really. and had to tear myself away from it to finally eat #and unhappily showered and went to bed for the night #i was making great progress relatively smoothly all day but when i left it i was at the point of spotting something i had to correct #so i was in quite a mood when i left it and feeling a lot of anguish picking it back up today #but i really am starting to get it more and more down how i think i ought to be. and the adderall will still be active in me for hours #here's to hoping i finish the damned thing today. it's due monday but i REALLY don't wanna even be doing the finishing touches tomorrow. #if im not spraying this thing w fixative to lock the charcoal in place by tonight im gonna be really unhappy #(it's due monday) #tales from diana #also my setup w two chairs (one for me to sit in and one to hold up my drawing board) is REALLY uncomfortable #when im drawing from life it's not so much a problem bc i hold it in my lap but this time i have a photo reference #and it's kinda just really messy to hold it on my lap w subtractive drawing anyway. i always end up erasing the corners w my sleeve. #i keep being locked in a leaning-forward manspreading position so i can get closer to my drawing to see it #it's like im ABOUT to sit up. but holding that position for hours at a time. #i wish i had a stool and eisele #is that the right spelling? it's what my phone suggested #it rhymes weasel and has no starting consonant. that thing that word.

🍁 + is Izuku the type to keep his phone volume on, or does he keep it on vibrate, or silent? Does he make a habit of adjusting the setting through day (like in class verse outside of class)?

Send 🍁 + Any question you’ve been curious to know about my muse!

During class, he would definitely keep his phone silent, and then leave the volume on once he's free from his student obligations. He has terribly cheesy ringtones that betray his fanboy nature and this habit won't change even as an adult. Pro-Hero Deku would have his phone on all the time, and if he gets a job call in the middle of the night, he will immediately hop out of bed.

In the future, if he deems himself sufficiently close with someone, he may ask them to record a personalized ringtone for him so he can know right away if they are calling.

I feel like, after like 2 years?? of asking for it, expecting that eventually somebody will buy me fruits basket s1pt2 is foolish. 

#as in #at times when people ask me what i want #i do not randomly demand #i have part one #i have the whole of s2 #(that i managed to pick up for less money that half a season *side eyes the damn price*) #but no one part two #it may be less than 2 years. i have no concept of time #anyway we're back to our regular scheduled content of me laying in bed posting nonsense on my phone #typical last week of december behaviour #ooooh i can start planning the veg garden soon #(i don't let myself till january) #last year's crop was crap #the weather did not work for much other than my cucumbers #early in the season it was so windy that all my stuff snapped and broke #and late in the season it was potroasted in the heat #weird that veg that is like... most entirely water Loved the intense heat but i won't complain #i like cucumbers lol

Trying to go for a nice walk before work and someone started following me...

#i left my apartment and walked about half a block #i saw a man walking from the other direction towards the same corner as me #he got there first and just waited #so i crossed the street before i got there cuz he was giving weird vibes #it qas weird that he was just waiting but i figured maybe a coincidence so i quickly walked past #but then he crossed the street towards me #i had a head start and im a fast walker so i just kept going #we were in a pretty populated area around stores and stuff so i was just trying to stay around other people #i heard him call 'excuae me!' a couplw of times but i was not about to turn around or stop #so i just kept speed walking #I pulled out my phone to call someone just to have them on the line #because hed been following me for a couple blocks now #but of course no one picked up #but at that point i noticed he wasnt behind me anymore #but i didnt want to turn back or go back home. even though i want to hide in bed all day now #i didn't want him to end up following me home #and maybe he wasnt being malicious. but also i dont want to take any chances when it comes to this #a man following me. for blocks #its the middle of the damn day. i like to walk at night but... maybe i wont for a bit #im gonna take a different route home. fuck this #i dont thinkim overreacting. right? no #im a tiny afab person and a man started following me unprompted. yeah thats scary. im the right amount of scared. yeah #oh shit thats terrifying oh god #oh boy um thats spooky. okay im gonna welk a bit more and then uh. head home on a different route i guess #okay yeah okay bye

bruh there was some form of little cockroach or something in my fucking room just now and my brother and i took so long to fucking kill it 😭

#i'm sorry but if there's any type of bug in my house there's like 1% survival especially if it's anything other than a spider #bruh i was literally just on my phone upside down on my bed and suddenly i hear something that sounds like a fly bumping into something #and i look up and it's this giant fucking thing 😭 #i immediately ran to my brother (remember that he's fucking 13 god i'm such a pussy) nd drag him into my room #omg side not while i'm writing this it literally feels as if something's crawling all over my skin i'm losing my damn mind #anyways we both hold deodorant on the little fucker and IT CRAWLS UNDER MY FLOOR 💀 #BRO I WAS SO SCARED HOW MANY FUCKING OTHER THINGS ARE UNDER THERE #my brother and i wait for it to come out and as soon as it crawls out he holds deo on it again and it crawls along my floor until it's #stuck in that corner of wall and door #and then we took everything to squash that fucker we literally took a mop one of my knitting needles a fucking shoehorn 😭 #like we tried ok and then that little shit crawled across the floor towards us and we smacked it with the mop #and then we got a bit closer to inspect it AND IT WAS STILL MOVING #i whacked it again and then it was finally dead #we picked it up with like 5 layers of toilet paper and flushed it down the toilet #mind you this all happened between 1 and 2 am and my mom woke up like halfway through and decided to just not give a fuck #cw animal death #??? #ask to tag #cw insects #nica.talks #EDIT; I KNOW THERE ARE SPELLING AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES IGNORE THEM I WROTE THIS IN PANIC

@tumblr ... @wip ? @support ? i guess? idk if you guys have one particular person or team looking at just the mobile platform but

i am asking you to please reconsider the placement of a follow button on. Every. Single. Comment. in a reblog chain.

i mean this shit

(i realize it is not a button but idk what else to call it - clicky text? taptext? idc! i just don't want to accidently follow people and then end up going ":O wat is this random post doing on my dash?" you know?)

i am an app user, i'm on my phone. i use my thumb to scroll. the chances of randomly hitting a follow button i DID NOT mean to hit have now sky-rocketed

please consider that while the option may work great on desktop, the app does not have enough screen real estate to support this conveniently

ESPECIALLY since you have the button on the right side of the screen where it is usually safe to rest your scrolling digit - if you insist on keeping the follow text there could you at least please move it next to the username like in the reblog line?

#it is not *bad* it is just inconvenient #bc i hate seeing a post and going wtf is THIS? #and then looking at who posted it and going all gandalf i have no recollection of this url #when did i follow this person? did tumblr just follow them for me - as has happened before? #or did i click something accidently while shuffling my phone around with tumblr open which happens WAY TOO OFTEN #it's a phone dudes - a lot of times i'm carrying it and some other stuff and only using one hand #and the screen is on and i have to grip or stack the phone to keep from dropping stuff or it sliding off #and then when i pick it up again there's a damn pop-up message that says 'thanks we'll take a look at it!' #and i'm like why is there no back button i have no idea what you think i did i literally knocked the phone off the counter #and grabbed it what do you think i was doing tumblr? #... anyway i foresee a lot of that kind of thing happening with this update option #it's just too easy to unintentionally hit that text - and like it's one extra click to follow someone i don't think it's too hard #you want to follow them bc they said something cool you click the url go to their ... i guess it's a landing page now huh? #since it doesn't take you to a real actual blog? but the follow option is right there at the top of the screen #also you can see if they are a real person or like have a big dni list or something so it's MORE useful that way #idk about most users but i like to look at a few posts scroll their blog a little before i follow somebody ok?

pretty sure I’ve been hypomanic the last week or so and I’m not sure what to do about it

#weird to be hypomanic and extremely self isolating and avoidant of addresssing important things at the same time but here we are #i have no idea what fucking amalgamation of mental illnesses and whatever else is going on with me lately but it sure is alot #there is something very wrong with me and at this point i cant pinpoint it to any one thing it’s just. i think. a handful of things #that uhhh don’t work well together that’s for sure #i feel like I should maybe look up some stuff on comorbid bipolar II and autism cause that’s probably the best way to describe the totality #of whats going on with me #whatever it is it’s wrong there is something very very wrong with me #i need a therapist badly but guess what??? whatever’s fucking wrong with me has made me avoid looking at my email for like a week for no #god damn reason and I haven’t been able to make myself do anything important and applicable to myself in the Real World #again for literally no fuckign reason and it’s just making things progressively worse cause they stack up and ssome of those things can/will #piss off my mom who I also want to avoid but I can’t because if I don’t pick up the phone the second time she calls she will call my #roommate and threaten to call the police basically #so #that’s where I’m at #this is the first time I’ve ever ghosted literally everyone before though. that’s new. really funny how that works. self isolation is #probably driving me literally insane but for whatever reason my brain says Aha what if you distanced yourself even more? even from people #you don’t see in real life? what if you put all your effort and thoughts into one topic and obsess over it for god knows how long to the #extent of not wanting to do anything else basically but shit related to that special interest or whatever it is #it’s so funny that I’ve literally not hung out with friends at all in real life nor made any new friends irl this entire year #like literally. literally I do not have friends. that’s so wild cause I’ve been saying this for literally months and it never changes #anyway I’m probably gonnna go back to frantically writing notes on this one topic and neglecting all communication and responsibilities #so. yeah #kibumblabs #I need serious help. i wish I had people around me who cared enough to make me get it #i wish I didn’t have to do literally everything myself #my ‘bf’ (if you can call him that. i doubt it at this point for several reasons) hasn’t spoken to me nor I to him in I don’t even know how l #long now and my radio silence on discord and texts doesn’t seem to matter to him. i could be dead for all he knows lol #he doesn’t care he has other people now. #no one else I know irl reaches out and if they did I’d probably not answer for no reason. i guess because I love sabotaging myself #it’s great. I’m great.

i hate relating to kafka but i just went to return my old modem to the company that randomly canceled my internet and the human being in front of me said "i can't take it they need to pick it up at your house" and i honestly felt like just leaving it there on the floor for them to deal with it. not my problem anymore, figure it out
