I was wondering why my whole family were convinced this heatwave in NY was worse than being in Florida ever was

I'm the only one currently unmedicated. They were never medicated when we lived in Florida.

damn they weren’t lying that mental health medication CAN make the heat even more unbearable

Hooray! Yay! Dykes!

I wish we could teach each other how to love the way we can teach animals that aren’t supposed to be able to feel it.

No bestie it makes SO MUCH SENSE, like. Why is he like this? He's so pretty? And funny? And he has No Idea how to handle a serious relationship but he Tries!

If you had the ability to convince execs to bring back any cancelled series, game show movie book doesn't matter just needs to not currently be active, what would you choose? I wanna know the hill you'd die on

mmmmmm i have no clue i mean right now in this very moment id probably say glee because im watching it and im halfway through s5 and i dont want it to end. but specifically if i could choose id want them to make more of like..s2/3 ish because that was peak imo its probably because it was the blaine introduction and GOD this guy. anyway.

but like, im not sure thats a very good answer in the bigger picture, i mean is that the hill i want to die on? i cant think of any other hills but im sure theres many other things i could and would answer if i wasnt glee obsessed rn.

bad memory and i almost just remember the stuff im actively into but yeah rn id say glee. u shoudl watch it. its so bad at times but its also so good i swear.

though honeslty i think i would die on any hill as long as im dead. can i die on multiple hills? i dont even have a hill. give me a hill.

I actually watched it as it came out! I've been watching excitedly as you discover everything!

You're so right about Blaine, so many of the guys in Glee were very much baby me's gay awakening, how dare they be hot AND good at singing????

You want thin people to reblog instead of like? Fine. But you won't like what I have to say.

I weigh a hundred pounds soaking wet, gaining weight has always been my main goal and I'll never get to know if it's something I really truly wanted because I've spent my entire life being told I need to gain weight, build muscle, look more like a human and less like a skeleton. I was born with such low muscle tone I couldn't move, and have had severe joint pain my entire life, but outside of my pediatrician and a doctor I was only able to see twice before he moved across the state, I've gotten the same response from every single doctor I've spoken to. I'm too thin to have something wrong, I must be making it up. Exaggerating. Lying to get drugs. Hysterical. Almost every cis person I know feels the need to remind me, because they know I'm trans, that I'll never really look like a man, I'm too small and cute for that, I'll always be a boy at best and a girl in pants at worst. I'll never be handsome, I'm cute, pretty, I should stop being so ungrateful about it. I can't fit mens clothes without looking like a kid wearing their dads things. I'm too big to fit into kids clothes. I don't get to exist as myself, not unless I make or alter the clothes myself. And then I'm back to being called a girl because men don't sew, according to them. I look too much like a 'girl playing pretend' to get prescribed testosterone, even before Trump took office, handed that election by the very same people telling me I was too small and thin to ever be a real man. I'll probably never be able to get top surgery, because doctors want you to have been on T for years first, and I can't even get prescribed because doctors take one look at me and decide I'm lying, that a real trans guy would at least be bigger than this.

The difference between me and you has a hell of a lot less to do with weight, and a hell of a lot more with who we target our valid anger at. I don't hate fat people, I hate fatphobia and the system it's created. I hate the world we live in where everyone is expected to be one specific 'correct' 'average' shape and size that no one will ever perfectly fall into because we're human and everyone's different.

But you hate thin people, people like me, because of something we have just as little control over as you. You don't hate the system, you hate it's other victims.

I will continue being mean to thin people because the entire world is made for you but people like me can't get a diagnosis without threatening to sue the doctor <3

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

I think a lot of autistic taking-things-literally goes under the radar because what the diagnostic tests and shit ask about is not what that generally looks like in an adult and often not in kids either and much more importantly it’s not what generally actually causes problems in real life instead of being irritating for caretakers or funny to bullies or easy to diagnose

I have absolutely no issues understanding metaphors or idioms. When someone says their heart is on their sleeve they mean they’re emotionally expressive and openly display their feelings, not that they have a chunk of cardiac tissue on their shirt. I very rarely have issues with sarcasm. I sometimes have issues telling when someone who’s said something mean is about to say “just kidding”, but tbh I think that’s more on them than me.

BUT

My grandmother asked me “Do you know when the trash was taken out last?” and I said “I think Eliot took it out yesterday” and a few hours later she yelled at me for “not taking out the trash when I asked you to” and I was like???? You didn’t ask me????

I dread filling out forms and am crap at filling out diagnostic tests or personality quizzes because there are always questions I don’t know the exact answers to (how am I supposed to know what day I got dental surgery seven years ago?) or don’t understand exactly what they’re asking or the wording’s unclear and they could mean this or the wording says this but I’m pretty sure what they actually meant was this and should I answer what they said or what they meant, and how does everyone else just whip through the form when surely they can’t know all the answers either? Does everyone else remember the day they got dental surgery seven years ago?

I get tangled up by bureaucracy because the rules on the website say that for this you need that and for that you need the other and for the other you need something else for which you need the first thing, and I go in circles for hours or days or weeks or months or years because their stated rules say there is no way to get what I need, and when I talk to somebody else they’re like “just call them?” and I’m like “how could that help? the rules say that what I’m trying to do is impossible”

And all of that? That’s how “taking things literally” ACTUALLY affects your life as an adult. It’s not “haha you think ‘getting under your skin’ means parasites”. It’s “you have real difficulty functioning in the world because everyone else is conveying things through implication and assuming that you know that rules are flexible and questions are approximate and you’re supposed to lie on job applications, and you don’t”.

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?
