How does one casually bring up their dad's donor number at a sleepover?

Sleepovers are a rite of passage for many children and teens. They offer a unique opportunity to bond with friends, share stories, and create lasting memories. However, for children conceived through sperm donation, the question of how to discuss their unique origins can be a bit tricky, especially in a casual setting like a sleepover. One particularly delicate topic is how to bring up their…

Ppl will say being AroAce is boring but personally I think the fact that I'm not like a majority of people and have a different experience of the world than them makes me rather unique and interesting.

Daniel’s father talking about the Targa Florio and it’s connection with the Ricciardo family’s love for motorsport:

Joe was born in Sicily and credited the Italian island with planting the seeds of his family’s love affair with racing. “They used to have this huge race called the Targa Florio that was really big and famous from the 1920s right up to the mid-70s,” he said. “I was too young to remember but my dad tells me my grandfather used to put me on his shoulders and walk me down the hill to watch the cars as they came through. I think motorsport is in our DNA.”

+ Daniel on driving around his grandfather’s hometown:

“I would like to say … hey, I went racing around the streets where you [his grandfather] grew up. I passed your house, drifting … sideways, and I left some rubber just outside your front door.”

I made myself a personal playlist with the fnaf songs I like (because wow I’ve missed out on like five years of bangers and need to catch up!!). I thought I would make myself a playlist cover with my precious Helpy bear to inspire even more joy from it!! He stole/borrowed DJ Music Man’s headphones. :3

weird living in a world that is theoretically so open and yet countries keep making it artificially difficult to travel between them. it takes less than a day for me to travel to another continent, can you imagine telling someone 500 years ago that and then saying "but oh no you see actually it takes much longer than that and in fact in many cases is completely impossible because we've decided to just close the world to each other arbitrarily. yeah, no. visas. they cost more depending on where you live as well. and we monitor people too to make sure they can't stay anywhere too long outside of their assigned corner of land. yeah airplanes are cool but we've been finding new ways to make that suck more and more as well. sorry."

Insane for years i began to ruin my own art to the point i almost gave up drawing entirely cause i became so obsessed with seeming perfect & was absolutely, positively certain everyone would look at every minute detail of my art to make fun of it and now that ive given up on all that my art has actually improved by tenfold

Seattle, Washington.... You can see the Space Needle way in the back. You can see the T Mobile stadium and Lumen Stadium in the forefront. To the left, you can see Seattle's Great Wheel. It's the largest ferris wheel on the west coast, standing 175 feet tall. It opened in 2012 and cost 20 million dollars to build. During the pandemic, the Great Wheel offered a unique dining experience from the Fisherman's Restaurant. The meal costs $150 per person, and it comes with a prawn cocktail, a Caesar salad, grilled salmon, and a chocolate pot de creme for dessert, and the best views of Seattle. There are wine pairings available for an extra fee. It's comprised of 42 enclosed, heated and air conditioned gondolas, which hold up to 8 passengers each. It provides a fantastic view of the city that you can enjoy while dining. I've never been there, but someday I'd love to go there. I think it would be fun to ride a giant ferris wheel while dining. Seattle is a very clean and beautiful city 😍 The views must be spectacular ✨️

It looks lovely 😍 Now, I want a shrimp cocktail. Mmmmmmmm ❤️

Obsessed with the dynamic (not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing--both and yet neither) between two characters who knew and cared about each deeply years ago when they were both younger and life was much less complicated.

But then, tragic, transformative circumstances separated them. Assuming that this separation was certainly permanent, because how could it not be?

And yet, somehow finding each other again years later, and sometimes they aren't sure whether the reunion that they once longed for with every fiber of their beings is a blessing, a curse, a joke, or a punishment.

Because they've both changed in the intervening years--largely because of the hellish circumstances that caused their separation. They've both changed completely and irrevocably, even if one of them has changed much more noticeably and dramatically than the other to the point of seeming a complete stranger. It is about leaning to see and appreciate all the things that have changed about the other and all the things that have not changed. It's about learning to reconcile beloved, often rose-tinted memories with the complex, yet-equally-compelling reality of the person those memories are about.

I think the thing that makes masking disability very complex is that often, masking is done to protect one's self, but you still don't know exactly how you'll be perceived by other people, and if you're safe in the ways you want to be. Something I've learned more and more is that... you often can't "fully mask" in the sense that there are certain blindspots you may miss. My flat, monotonous affect stems from autism, and while I can (and do) mask other traits, I can never mask that trait. But, the thing is that I don't detect that I am monotonous, and I only learned that because other people perceived me that way and actually told me. That's what I mean by masking only goes so far, often.

Agape: Greek for unconditional love

This poem explores the theme of unconditional love. It emphasizes a love that is all-encompassing and accepting, one that sees beyond superficial flaws and insecurities. The poem suggests that this kind of love is essential for human connection and understanding. It encourages us to look at each other with compassion and empathy, recognizing and accepting each other’s true selves.
