#25 years of bullshit

[nouverx]

Encounters with transphobes have been so rare for me lately that I always forget there's people out there who are STILL at the "being non binary isn't real/is a mental disorder" stage lmao. Have they not move on from that??

I've been out and living as an openly trans non binary person for 8 YEARS.

8. YEARS.

8 years is a lot. I've had time to watch conferences on the topic and read so many articles that I can't possibly link it all. I've seen a psychiatrist and 3 different therapists. Literally NONE OF THEM ever saw my transness and non binarity as a mental disorder or as "not real". I've mostly been working on dysphoria with them this whole time, which was way more of an issue than transness ever was. I've been through a whole self discovery journey that I can't possibly describe in a single post, had so many deep conversations about it with so many different people, experts and non experts included, during those 8. Long. Years.

People who are dismissing non binarity are just ridiculous to me now. "Being non binary isn't real" buddy those last 8 years have been VERY FUCKING REAL. You are deeply uninformed, far behind the whole topic and I'm so over people like you. Stfu.

y'all look at this. they are so close to touching, but they never do. I don't think Armand and Daniel touch all season. which isn't all that weird considering the short amount of time Daniel has been in Dubai. It's only been like, a week.

I just want them to touch, like accidentally brush hands or something and Daniel to get like the most visceral reaction. Flashback to devil's minion era. Or maybe just a surge of attraction, strong enough that Armand can feel it with his vampire mind powers. then tease him about it

do u have any advice 4 someone who just turned 18/entered legal adulthood?

the #1 thing i wish more ppl my age did was not let themselves age out of pushing their boundaries so much that i can already see them becoming boomer-like abt the really stupid banal shit like music on the radio. like idk if i'm alone in feeling this way, but i'm terrified of becoming a nostalgic, complacent old loser who doesn't interact with new art and new experiences, so for me i've been trying to keep myself agile in that regard.

at 18 you have so much ahead of you like your perspective and worldview and feelings are gonna change so much in the coming years, be kind to yourself and your past self, and you'll build a better foundation for what's to come

in a variant of useless arguments that unfortunately i can't just use the block button on, i am reliving a wtfry from like five years ago because i'm trying to sort through my medical history and figure out if i have any further lurking disasters and i'm currently stuck on

me: i am trying to eat healthier so i want to add more fruits and vegetables to my diet

nutritionist: no don't eat more fruits! that's too much sugar! sugar is bad for you!

like really we're not talking about processed foods or added sugars, this person straight up told me there was too much sugar in raw, fresh fruit

imagine being so disconnected from RE fandom that you think that Leon only became popular starting with RE2make

Lots of people pointing out the absolute nonsense highlights from Andreessen's baloney-filled Tech-Billionaire manifesto (breathlessly recommended by Tumblr's rich hipster CEO ["he must be cool, guys... he went to Burning Man! In 2023!!"] ) but this paragraph sums it up for me.

Work rant

So like, I get paid like over $30/hour at my part time job because I do some kinda ""high-skill""" stuff... It's a job that anywhere else would probably be full-time and I do everything within like 25 hours or less. I mean it totally speaks to that premise that most workers are only productive like 3 out of 8 hours in the standard workday. I am VERY productive. I get my work done and then I clock out. I am totally fine with this barring caveats that I live with my parents, etc. etc.

My supervisors, who are both full-time, don't seem to get as much done as I do. Most of the time, I know it's bc I am just really fast at getting shit done. I know it's not necessarily "fair" to judge them by my standard because I've always been this way.... And most people are not. But god daamn it bugs me when it takes forever to get one small task done because TBH the both of them spend a lot of time socializing. They are VERY nice people and I love them but sometimes it just bugs the shit out of me because I just want to shake them and be like "I need u to fucking focus and be a little faster."

Like yesterday I came in to work to work on a specific task with one of them. I could only be there until noon and we talked about it the week before. She put it on her calendar!!! And then at like 11am, I asked when she wanted to work on (task) and she was like 'uh, later? haha?' and I was like "I have to leave in an hour". Oh my godddddd. Like I know she was doing other important things, but she takes forever to complete one thing. I was really annoyed and then she was like "okay when I get back from getting a matcha". We probably only worked on this (important task) for about 15 minutes. Again, these two are great to work with in general, but I am a suffering young millennial and just want to get my work done and go home okay?????????

Kids should not be starting school at 7 fucking am

[scattered-winter]

as lonely as being aro can be I honestly wouldn't have it any other way because as a kid I felt like my life would be over in my 20s once I married and started having kids but the first time I realized I didn't have to do that shit was akin to a bird getting released from its cage
