This hits different when you have multiple mental health issues and one of them counts as a disease.
most annoying “neurodivergent” people are people who are like “brain damage isn’t neurodivergent that’s acquired” “epilepsy isn’t a neurodivergent that’s a disease” “schizophrenia isn’t neurodivergent it’s a mental illness”. what part of diverges from the supposed normal do you not get. i’m going to hit you.
FUN FACT:
So you know how the Wilhelm Scream is in a ton of films as a soundtrack in-joke? It was popularized by Ben Burtt, who was a sound editor on a ton of ton of Lucas films, like all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films.
Well, he cameos in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. That's him there. His only screen time is getting knocked over a rail, and he does an imitation of the Wilhelm scream as he does it.
I’m reblogging this because it reminds me of my grandpa, he used to work in Churchill.

I had a thought that Yoda isn’t actually that stubborn or strict or mean. The difference is that if you tell him you’re going to do something stupid he’ll let you do it. He’s just going to tell you you’re stupid and tell you what’s going to go wrong. Basically fuck around and find out.
People get it wrong because the whole plot of the series is characters fucking around and finding out. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. Why else would so many characters die/get their hands cut off/be tortured?
When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.
I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.
Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.
If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.
I both do and don’t believe in astrology partially because I’m agnostic and also because people are annoying about it. I do know my full birth chart and how weird it is. Also I don’t tell people my sign because I’m a Scorpio and they assume bad things about me. But Happy Birthday to me (it’s not today but it’s close)
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
