  • one time in high school my year had a pre graduation event, and the school rented one of those big convention rooms that are the closest thing most of us ever come to a ball room. anyway during the event we were served food, and one guy made it his mission to eat as much as possible. a bit after we were done eating he vomited and fully caught it in his mouth with the help of his hand, and proceeded to just swallow it all again. enjoy this cursed knowledge I am forced to carry. at least you don’t have to see it lol.




  • they may be technically different, but me going through tree ID class in undergrad quickly realized that the variability of leaf shape within a tree species, and even within a specific tree, can make one species look almost exactly like a totally different species. much better to look at the morphology, buds, and bark than the leaves.

    they’re all beautiful though


  • the thing is neurotypical people don’t have as much awareness of the imprecision of language, they just assume they know what you’re saying if they are familiar with all the words you use. this has caused me no end of problems when I say something and the person I’m talking to just chooses an interpretation and assumes thats what I meant and runs with it. half the time that ends up in some kind of minor or major disagreement that could have been avoided if they just asked for some clarification. the really annoying part is it doesn’t seem to matter how precisely I formulate my sentences, how much I hedge against misunderstanding, because sometimes people just make shit up that they think I might say even if it has nothing to do with what I actually said. watch it happen here lol.



  • Unironically I have found it’s much easier to connect with people since I started to transition, both platonically and sexually. I haven’t even changed all that much yet from my perspective, but being more myself than ever has helped me connect in ways that would have been impossible when I was doing my best impression of a cishet man.

    as a bi trans nonmonogamous audhder, fuck these people. all they really want is to kill us, and when they realize they can’t do it by turning us into someone else they will reach for the camps and gas chambers. then they will destroy themselves because the great tragedy is that so many of them are neurodivergent too. rigid black and white thinking is one of the major pitfalls of humanity, and sadly is one far too many neurodivergent people fall into.
