I used to minimize my pain by being too autistic
Because 10 on the pain scale is supposed to be "worst pain of your life" or "worst pain you can imagine"
And so I would be like, well I could also be on fire
And so I'd rate my pain as like. A 4. Because I wasn't also on fire

The Charlottesville march was Nazis and other white supremacists. They were protesting the existence of Jews and people of color. The students are protesting a genocide. Hope this helps.

I get the confusion, but asexuality is about orientation, not libido. Libido is sex drive, orientation is to whom you are attracted. Someone on the asexuality spectrum experiences no sexual attraction or restricted/very conditional sexual attraction.
It's terrifying to be trapped here. Cell signal is in and out. Even a few days ago, I was noticing patches of bloody vomit and diarrhea, not only confined to portable toilets. People looking sick, bloody corners of mouths. I thought maybe food poisoning. Now I know better.

I'm HOPING
that when it says "she euthanized her dog" it means she took it to a vet who did indeed find a serious issue and made a medical decision to go ahead with euthanasia
And not that the dog was taken to a shelter on the AI's advice alone

That's not true. It's inappropriate to tell anyone they should shave, especially a child, regardless of where. I'd be equally bothered, especially considering how it could impact the girl's self esteem.
Were it the bikini area I would expect her to be MUCH more upset.

Was like "little awkward but honest, ok" in the first half and then my jaw literally fell open and I audibly stuttered
Handed the phone to my partner and he looked at me wide eyed

Wants to study medicine but doesn't know that ketamine is an anesthetic
Sucks that she got shot, sucks a lot. But she got the same medical treatment as Gazans are getting. Better than many Gazans are getting. They treated her with what they had, when they didn't have to at all
The quotes on this are rancid so I wanna add one myself
I've known I was trans since I was 14.
"If you're really happy you don't have to tell anyone." We do, because so many people try to tell people just like us they'll never be happy. That happiness isn't for them. It is.
Transphobes think that all trans people must be unhappy. Here I am, a very happy trans person. Thereโs a thing called โtrans joy,โ and I experience it every single day. This is what trans joy looks like.
As you all know, I lived as a lesbian for almost 30 years before

Salvia made me forget how to speak English and only be able to think in a "new language." The process was actually kind of fascinating because I was feeling shrimp emotions and constructing words to describe them. But my English came back and the salvia language went away

Holy god
I had mine tied after 11 years of wanting it fervently but I cannot IMAGINE being someone who wants children and having that taken away from me - via a procedure INSIDE MY BODY - by two people I'm SUPPOSED to be able to trust
Super super shy abt people hearing me sing; I'm combining practicing Doing Things That Make Me Anxious with a genuine enjoyment of singing and a desire to do to it well
I know zero about singing. What can I do to get better at it as someone who can't afford voice lessons?
Hello I just finished this book and it is so DANG GOOD
hard to describe without revealing spoilers but if you like gay and autism and horror do yourself a favor and read this book I loved it
Love is real!! ๐
amazon editors announced YEARS BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LIST and picked CAMP DAMASCUS. i have been so moved by the reception of this outsider book and the support of autistic voices and stories. thank you to the new buds taking me seriously and the old buds who always did
Trying desperately to convince all my very lonely friends that it is NOT just them it is the wake of covid fucking everyone up socially + an increasingly atomized and alienating late stage capitalist hellscape
Feel free to respond if u are lonely and/or have tips for lonely ppl
World's messiest sandwich
Cleaned it up some
Guess I'm craving protein because it's got bacon and this egg and chorizo stuff and queso and crema and another egg and then there's also salsa and an avocado and rice for some reason

They do, actually! Much safer when it's pharm-grade and in a therapeutic dose.
(Out of all my friends with ADHD I've never known anyone who had it prescribed to them, though.)

No, but that's the sentiment behind the agp theory and it's Blanchard's mindset; and it's a fallback for a lot of terfs and gender criticals because they think being trans is a fetish - that's why they think young trans people have been "groomed" into being trans.
Felt fine most of the day, came home so depressed I asked my partner to make me hot dogs because I don't feel like I have the... Whatever i need strength it is that lets people make hot dogs

Is it a book called Compound where the dad is like... Making the wife have more kids and planning to eat them also or something
He's got the whole family tricked into thinking there was an apocalypse and living in a bunker
I feel very "everyone secretly hates me and I should withdraw socially" rn but that's probably neither true nor the move so I'm trying to remember we don't trust bad brain thoughts after 9:30 pm

A spanking this... Enthusiastic... It's not unlikely that it was sexual for them
Spanking is a sexual activity for MANY people
Most claims of sexual assault are not made up. Statistically this is v likely to be true.
[flirting] I may not be a supertaster but I bet I'd be super at tasting you
The burnt out 50 y/o lesbian philosophy professor next to me at the bar: are you even old enough to drink
God I just learned that allistic people DON'T think using a person's name in conversation with them is extremely personal and they in fact LIKE that
What the hell
Let's all pretend to be neurotypical I'll go first
I am so completely normal about the texture of the walls in my apartment.
It is totally fine and I do not avoid touching them at all!
No need to avoid touching them when the texture is perfectly palatable to me!
I see some people replying with valid skepticism so I will posit that (at least in general) in the case of sexual abuse, even if attraction is present and a motivation, abuse ALSO involves a sense of entitlement held by the abuser. (cont.)
@denimneverdies
itโs pretty well known that rape (in the case of adults) is not because of attraction but because of power. why wouldnโt it be the same for CSA? most people who sexually abuse kids are not attracted to them. itโs about power, not attraction, just like adult rape.
