i am exactly the same (i have adhd) and unless i have an interest in something it’s soooo painful to do it no matter how much i want to try and like it. that’s why i always rewatch the same things all the time because once i decide i like something it’s all i can consume and finding a new interest feels like a huge task so it’s rare that i can actually watch a movie or tv show that i haven’t watched before. literally all i do is listen to the same music, watch the same tv shows etc. that i have done so for years. its tough but i feel you bestie
the amount of shock when i told my gf how many times i listened to my #1 song on spotify wrapped (653 times and that was Slacking) you would’ve thought i had killed a man i think she listened to her #1 song like….30-something times?? thats absurd to me that tells me you don’t even like the song???? do you even know it and understand it????? but yeah she doesn’t understand how I can vomit at the thought of watching a movie i know nothing about and know no actors in but i can watch a whole new show and 5 new movies in a week just because it has that One Actor in it that is in that One Comfort Show so that Actor is now Comfort in all the other shows and movies like we can enjoy that first Comfort Show together but once it’s done she’s over it and i’m just like ??????? that’s the only thought on my brain?? ????

alexithymia’s a bitch i wonder how things would’ve unfolded with this guy if i properly told him we couldn’t date because my boundaries were sort of being violated instead of saying “i don’t know, i just feel kinda gross at the idea of us being together. im gross.” because it created such a massive misunderstanding

Ooooo I’m seething.
One of my coworkers yesterday was joking that I should “say that [you’re] racist to get out of jury duty”, which, fine, it’s an extreme and someone who’s older (like she is) would maybe find that acceptable.
Well today, we somehow got on the topic of them taking down old confederate (racist) statues, and she starts up about how we’re “erasing history” and all that. And then she pulls out the bomb: “I wouldn’t ever wear a BLM shirt in public, because that’s racist! If I wore a white lives matter shirt, I’d be on the news!”
…okay. Tell me you don’t understand the cultural and social impact racism has had on the overall “view” of black lives without telling me. Tell me you don’t understand nuance or subtlety without so many words.
“I mean, they’re basically saying all other lives don’t matter.”
No, they’re saying HISTORICALLY black lives have been treated as lesser, and therefore the movement is to shed light on that uncomfortable truth, and force us to reconsider our view of black lives. Force us to approach our biases, conscious or unconscious.
If the phrase Black Lives Matter makes you so uncomfortable and defensive, you’re the one who has something to work on. If you think it implies that all other lives matter less, if you think it’s saying ONLY Black Lives Matter, or Black Lives Matter More, then you have some biases you need to address.
It’s a simple phrase. Black lives do matter. Just like all lives matter. But all lives don’t have centuries long history of abuse, of neglect and mistreatment and vile, awful shit that is inexcusable and will never be made up for, that still continues on to this day. And that’s why it’s important to emphasize that, yes, while all lives matter, Black lives have historically been treated as lesser than, and that’s fucked up. So Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter just as much.
Fuck you, coworker. You’re a coward for not even looking me in the eye when I explained how your view was wrong. You’re a coward for bringing this up and then immediately changing the subject when you realized you wouldn’t get away with it.
Anyway does anyone know where I can buy a BLM hoodie that directly supports the movement so I can wear it around the office.

Ren is generally portrayed as the weakest of team JNPR, as a matter of fact, he might be the weakest of all the main characters aside from Oscar. And yet, in Volume One, we saw him take on a King Taijitu with his bare hands
