people will see a fandom thing and be like "why isn't this a fanfic" "why is there no fanfic about this" my brother in christ, because you're not writing it

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

I just found the funniest font ever

Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?

Can confirm this actually works

I was in some intense burn out for over a year, every day was a fight to get myself to do anything, and one of the many micro adjustments I made that helped me get out of it was giving myself permission to not worry about the pile of things that feel impossible, and just do what feels good in the moment. Lying down and taking a nap, taking a shower, eating a little treat, talking to the people that brought me comfort, cuddling my stuffed animals, making creature noises to shake the knots out

I wouldn't have been able to get to the point where I could take a shower or buy myself a little treat if I didn't rest first, give myself permission to say fuck it, it doesn't matter right now, I want a nap, and just lying down with my eyes closed even if I couldn't actually sleep

After that, each step gets easier

Please let yourself rest, it's literally the most important part

this randomly blew up on twitter so i figured i’d post it here bc lord knows everyone on this app is neurodivergent

the thing is. knowing someone experiences hallucinations or trouble reading facial expressions or communication difficulties or any other symptom CAN help you to understand their behaviour and respond to it appropriately. but knowing someones diagnosis is never as helpful as it is to listen to them when they talk about how they can best be accommodated. and if “can you please speak slower” (for example) sounds like a ridiculous request from someone without a diagnosis and a reasonable one from someone with a diagnosis. well you’re the dick in that situation
