i have actually never seen a prison/police abolitionist give a reasonable alternative for domestic violence victims, not even once :|

Over the past few months I've started learning Italian, and there's one thing in particular that I feel needs to be said.

If you are someone who:

Bullies people for having a hard time speaking

Believes someone's opinion is irrelevant if they can't vocalize it

Believes that even certain aspects of it are easy and that there's no excuse for getting it wrong (yes, that is something i've heard)

Take some time to learn a new language. Any language. Really sit down and put some effort into learning how to communicate in a way that you haven't grown up with, and I promise you, you'll better understand why those people you make fun of have such a hard time.

Language is not easy. English is by far one of the most complex and inconsistent languages out there when it comes to its rules, and I see far too many people making fun of those who have chosen to give it a go anyway.

And there's so many reasons as to why someone with English as their first language may not have the best vocabulary. Disabilities, sheltered/poor/abusive upbringings, etc.

There is no excuse for such ignorant behaviour.

My brain when I'm driving: omg there's so many things i'd love to do right now, let's brainstorm ideas that you can't write down because you're driving and get excited about an activity you haven't touched in months and

My brain when I actually try to do those things: you want me??? to work???????? i'm sorry i can't do that

It is not okay for your parent to say “I guess I’m just the worst mom/dad” when you express that you’re upset or hurt by something they said or did.

This also applies to other relationships, too. You shouldn’t be hearing “I guess I’m the worst friend/partner/etc” when you express being upset or hurt by something they did. Whether it’s intentional or not, it is manipulative.

When you’re upset, you should be allowed to express that safely without them making it about them. It shouldn’t lead you to comforting them and possibly feeling bad for saying anything (and possibly feeling too anxious to say something in the future.)

Include any biological/step/half/adoptive/etc siblings that you grew up with. If your family situation is complicated (e.g. you're technically a middle child only if you include a step-sibling you didn't grow up with), answer based on the set of siblings you DID grow up with.

*average self-proclaimed safe space tumblr blog voice* I soooooo support people with schizophrenia that must be so hard to you anyway I just saw some weird looking woman talking to herself right outside my house im fearing for my life should I call the cops. Yeah dude I support all the adhd havers in the chat just try to pay attention when I talk to you it's not that hard it's like the least you could do to show some regard for the other human being in front of you. Like it's fine to have memory problems but why did you forget this one thing in particular that was important to me do you like not care or anything you should try harder. I am one of the only real mental health advocates to still exist in this world I hear your struggles that being said I hope I never get to meet one of those irl sociopaths or people with aspd whatever they call them now they're so freaky and they can blend into society so well you might never know if you're actually face to face with an actual socio i mean person with aspd in the store absolutely one of my biggest fears what if they torture me in their basement. I absolutely empathize with all the people in here suffering from delusions as long as they like, don't actually show it or have one concerning me that'd be highkey uncomfy leave me out of this dude im not talking to you until you get help, anyway my fav character from my anime just presumably died but i still think they actually survived im sooo delulu lol. We should push for more wheelchair accessibility in our cities I agree but like it's so difficult to tell how many people are actually disabled and who are actually faking it, like, ummm why did that "wheelchair" "user" guy stand up just now cover blown lmaoo…. Yeah I support people with facial differences but I still have a right to be disgusted you can't control my emotions anyway can you tag your selfies as #body horror this deeply triggering to me. Speaking of triggering can you also pleaseee hide your scars or at least warn us beforehand jesus do you know how many people genuinely do not want to see it. Here is my extremely fast strobing lights and flashing gifset #epilepsy. Yeah I loveee girls with bpd beautiful princess disorder am i right they're so interesting the stigma sucksssss i'd love to get to be one's favourite person as long as they don't actually have any of those weird or violent symptoms or don't go into any of their "episodes" near me like that's a bit dramatic….. I deeply feel for those who had underwent narcissistic abuse from the hands of an npd I think my shitty ex boyfriend was a narcissist too tbh #surviving narcissism here are 10 signs you are dealing with a narcissist and here's a tutorial on how to trigger a narc crash to epically own them anyway does anyone else think we should start enforcing mandatory castration of all the newly diagnosed narcs like you know what happens when they reproduce right. But I am willing to support them as long as they go to therapy to get that fixed it's just you know. Anyway sometimes hospitalisation is fine if they're genuinely a danger to themselves like what do you want them to go live on the streets or actually get help?? I support all the people dealing with being a professionally diagnosed disordered system and I think it's sooooo terrible how literally 99% of the youth population nowadays is purposefully faking it for attention I did my research (1 minute google search, 2 minute r/fakedisordercringe scrolling session and consulting a single system that agrees with me). It's just not believable to me that there's really that many people with it isn't it supposed to be rare… Also are we really sure all those alleged people in their heads are really real or just their imagination maybe all of them are actually faking it huh food for thought. I am very uncomfortable with nonverbal high support needs ppl actually having sex like consent is supposed to be explicitly verbal only and, are we really sure they can even consent arent they like basically children. You can't call me ableist I'm literally autistic

[a-sip-of-milo]

it's so fucked up to me that there are countless how-to guides on how to hurt me. people make a game out of making people with npd crash because everyone sees us as the scary narcissistic douchebags, when in reality I'm just a child who was neglected in every way by everyone and it made me dependent on attention and superficial gains. I don't want to be like this, but my ego being damaged makes me actually completely suicidal. and people make a game out of it. and brag about it. "I just caused a narc to crash" congrats! you just caused a traumatized person pain! I understand that no disorder gives you a free pass to hurt people, but the absence of disorder doesn't inherently make you better. this isn't "I matter more than you" disorder, this is "I never mattered when I was supposed to as a child" disorder. hate me. call me a narcissist. I am one. I have reclaimed that term. I know what I am, and I know what made me this way. and it hurts. and any of my headmates will tell you, I've been close to ending myself over this because that's how painful it really is. half the time I'm the greatest man alive, and the other half I'm the scum of the earth. and people make a game of that and revel in the downfall of people like me, who are like this simply because we're traumatized

[a-sip-of-milo]

What is it with ableists towards aspd and npd with eyes?

"They get shark eyes" "eyes are like a cheetah" "wolf eyes" "monster eyes" "soul devouring eyes" "evil eyes" "eyes like a winter spirit" are all ive heard

I mean, thanks for the compliment, but they aren't that special, just a slight brownish to my gray eyes

Got into a fight with my mother. We haven’t spoken in nearly a week now. As much as I miss my siblings, fuck it feels good not having her around.

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

Here's to all the people who had challenging childhoods, but managed to develop a relationship with their parents after they left home.

That does not mean that what you went through wasn't traumatic, nor does it mean you have to forgive them for what they did.

I hope the relationship now is a positive one.

Friendships as a teenager: we used to talk 5 hours every night now it’s down to 3… are we still friends 🤔? I wonder if they don’t like me anymore

Friendships as an adult: omg I’ve finally cleared up 20 minutes of my schedule to talk to my friend I haven’t spoken to in 4 months #bffs #we will find eachother in every life
