Ideasthesia is a condition similar to synesthesia. They/them. uncool but intelligent graduate mathematical astrophysicist. Queer. All I want is some math and science. Nicknamed: "Turnip shepherd/the wave"
NOTHING makes me more mad than people shoving aside creepy behavior just because the person in question is neurodivergent and doesn’t pick up on social skills well. there was this girl in high school who got way too touchy with me no matter how many times I told her to stop and the fucking school guidance counselor and school psychologist were like “well you can’t blame her because she can’t pick up on social cues well”. i’m neurodivergent too but if someone begs me to stop doing something it’s kind of fucking clear they don’t like it???
just the way people approach neurodivergency is so infantilizing I hate it. if you ever reblog a post about how it’s ableist to react angrily to someone invading your space i’ll fucking kill you. half the things you guys call ableism are just straight up not, and this isn’t even a tumblr thing, it’s something supposed medical professionals believe.
It’s no longer a social cue if someone says “stop, i don’t like that” it’s literally just someone verbalizing what they expect you to do. which is stop.
Holy shit please do not do this. This is the most disorganised disaster I’ve ever seen and all they’re going to do is get vulnerable people fired. Do not go on strike as an individual. Do not do not do not. The point of a strike is collective action to show the collective power of workers.
It is not enough to say that the NLRB has made vague gestures at showing that a non-union strike is theoretically possible. If you get fired illegally and you’re not part of a union, who’s going to pay for your employment tribunal? You? Unless you’re aware of how expensive tribunals can be and have that money set to the side, you’re opening yourself up to a world of hurt.
This is genuinely the most dangerous, nonsensical thing I’ve seen on this website in a long, long time. Do not do this. Do not mistake masturbatory individualistic action for a collective movement.
If you would like to find a way to seriously stick it to your bosses, speak to your coworkers, organise an actual union in your workplace (if you need pointers on this, don’t be afraid to reach out — I’ve done it before and would be happy to share pointers!). If you want public healthcare, get involved in any of the myriad campaigns for single payer going on. But do not, do not welcome unnecessary risk into your life like this.
Seriously, this is so incredibly sus. You do not just organize a general strike on a national scale by sending out a tweet and slapping together a website with no relevant information. At best, this is a well-intentioned but dangerously misguided social media activism move. At worst, this is an intentional disinformation campaign to undermine the labor movement. Do your research and learn your history before getting involved in stuff like this- the consequences are very real
Just a quick piece of advice: If you reject someone and they reply something like “You’re just scared of being with a nice person who wants to make you happy” - trust me, you did the absolute right thing with turning them down.
It might make you feel guilty for saying no to them, may make you feel like you’re rude to someone sweet… and that’s the exact reaction they were aiming for. It’s a very manipulative thing to say.
You don’t owe anyone anything just because they were “nice” to you. And I say “nice” here because a truly nice person won’t feel entitled to your time, attention or love. This reaction proves that they are very much not nice.
A truly nice person won’t try to make you feel guilty or try to change your mind after you say no. A truly nice person doesn’t need to point out that they are a nice person. A truly nice person will accept and respect your no.

This is the Mississippi River headwaters right now. Minnesota in a severe drought. Enbridge is taking 5 BILLION gallons of water from our rivers & lakes to drill Line 3 pipeline thru. […]
fucking Enbridge is airing commercials on mpls radio claiming that everything they’re doing is accepted by native people and they’ve been listening to native people SO HARD trust us you guys and it’s SO FUCKING DISGUSTING
Anyone here who lives in the US needs to send messages to the MN legislature right now. I’ll get you started, here’s how you can contact the governor AND Lt. gov: https://mn.gov/governor/contact/
There’s a million reasons to defend the Mississippi: Her cultural significance, the fact she supports mifwestern wildlife, the fact we don’t want to lose a whole ass river… But if you can’t muster up enough to care about it for any of the regular reasons, consider the fact you will almost certainly starve. Please take the 5 minutes to send an email, I can’t do this on my own.
Hi, I posted something like this before but more exposure can’t hurt. My family lives on one of the affected reservations in Minnesota. This is what their wild rice harvesting grounds (the world’s largest fyi) look like this year.
They took almost 5 billion gallons of water. They constantly fuck with the protestors. Wild rice isn’t just an economic thing for them, there is a deeply spiritual connection. Enbridge is awful, please help however you can, even if it’s just reblogging.
wow this actually makes me feel really happy cause that person is me…
It me
I have to tell this story.
I thought I was the first person to come out on either side of my family, but like three years after I came out, my mom was like, “By the way, my Aunt Mildred was a lesbian.”
“What? Really?”
“Yeah. My mom just told me this story the other day about her. She also had really bad depression, so bad that she was hospitalized. Her father flew out to San Diego to see her there. The nurses caught him on the way in and told him the no matter what she said, he was not allowed to get upset.” (This is the Catholic side of the family. Like, serious Irish Catholic with eleven kids and multiple priests in the family. Also super-duper Southern. And this was the 1940s and it was illegal.) “And he got real scared, but he went in. And she said, ‘Daddy, I’m a lesbian.’ He threw his hands in the air and hollered, ‘OH THANK GOD! I was worried it was gonna be something bad.’”
So. Shoutout to my Great Aunt Mildred, because she got there before I did.
Further shoutout to my second cousin Jared, who thought he was the first in even the extended family until he turned up for Granny’s 90th birthday, saw me for the first time in probably fifteen years, and heard me utter the words, “My wife…”
General shoutout to anybody who even thought they were the first in their family when they came out, even if they found out differently later on.
Y'know what, I love this story so fucking much that I’m going to schedule it to reblog when people will see it.
shoutout to those nurses who were ready to throw the fuck down for their young depressed lesbian patient like… when we talk about allies that is actually the kind of ally that has helped us to survive. in the most literal sense.
Absolutely shoutout to Aunt Mildred’s Nurses. That was some Good Allyship.
he’s probably freaked out (rightfully so) but in the back of his mind he’s probably also thinking “worst comes to worst, I could probably fight her” until:
this happens and he’s like:
and immediately starts reevaluating every bender he’s ever met, thinking of every time Katara totally could’ve killed him, and is forever grateful that she has morals lol
