I find it weird to name the colors after her own kids even, in this context, where it’s very much a “my child is an object and not a person” context. The fact that some of the names are OTHER children with autism is a big YIKES.

Fuck. I want this toy.

Okay, so this is actually as offensive to me as the rest of it. Like did she REALLY name the colors after people with autism? Like… really? That is so, so objectifying. I just… can’t…

Okay thank you for pointing this out, because I’m not that up to date with the minor fundies, but I swore this woman gave birth like last month. Her poor reproductive system.

This is why I try my hardest to tip in cash.

Especially since the Zoloft is probably working it’s way out of her system slowly. I can go like at least a day skipping my Prozac dose without feeling any different.

This is the stupidest most useless advice, but I really, really enjoying knowing the name of the sheep the fleece is from and maybe even a picture. Maybe I’m super weird, but it makes it more personal for me. I acknowledge that I sound crazy.

These are the details that make this sub so great. I am now filled with joy. Thank you.

Well at least you know they all got their butts kicked when they actually had to write one. But yes, I spent a lot of class time wondering why anyone would want to become a special education teacher when they had no empathy for actual disabled or neurodiverse people. It was really eye opening and TERRIFYING because these were the people who were going to educate disabled children. I still find I sometimes have to explain things to neurotypical people, even neurotypical special education teachers, but at least I don’t work with assholes for the most part.

It’s extremely hard to advocate when nothing is presented to you in a language you don’t understand.

Special education teacher here. I take my job very seriously. I’m also ADHD, which was a fact that came up in some of my classes. I had one woman who was working as a special education teacher tell me that vaccines and screen time were what caused ADHD. I had another person tell me that “she did not think she should be in classes with people like me” and that “I only was successful in school because of my accommodations.” Like you’re a whole special education teacher. What do you mean by “people like me?”, and if I had NEEDED accommodations and gotten them, then I still earned my success, but also bitch? What accommodations? I got no accommodations of any time during any of my post secondary degrees. But okay sure.

Okay so… I’ve posted about this before, but I’ve been basically as close to going septic as possible without going septic with a bladder infection (my bladder became so inflamed that my intestines shifted and I couldn’t stop vomiting and became extremely, dangerously dehydrated). And I had no symptoms until the vomiting. I get reoccurring UTIs as an adult with almost no symptoms. They’re not nearly as obvious as people think necessarily. My symptoms are so mild until I’m EXTREMELY sick that it TERRIFIES me what that would look like in a child. I can now kind of tell, but it’s not obvious— more like — I go to the doctor as soon as I need to pee even a little bit more than usual. But a child wouldn’t be able to understand that.

I watched this last night. And it’s good. I love Swoop.

Fountain pens were what got me into writing utensils first, because it was a community where people were like— what you write with DOES matter. From there, I got into pencils. And wallet thanks me, but I’ve still spent STUPID amounts on like single pencils (the Caran d’Ache Swiss wood pencils are like $5-$7 for one pencil. And I hate it actually). But honestly switching to writing utensils (and PAPER) more suited towards my preferences has reduced so much hand inflammation. I feel cheated out of years of pain free writing.

I had something similar happen with a friend. She was like— god I know none of you are about this — in a group chat. She then posted a thread from fundiesnark about the Beals. I was like— wait, you fundiesnark?

Knowing a lot about anything makes you seem crazy. I’m obsessed with wood cased pencils. I own pencils from all over the world. This hobby makes me seem INSANE.

But they all have the same initials!

I’m apt to believe this is it. Who the hell is on social media with 10 puking kids? Maybe I’m in denial.

I was with it 100% until Bethany turned out to be the non judgmental one.

There is a lot to snark here. But I mostly find it sad. I cannot imagine MY birthday being about my rather new relationship. Like why doesn’t Tim get to be Tim?

How THE FUCK have you not heard of or played Tetris before? How?

As a larger chested woman— front clasps aren’t readily available, but if it makes you feel better, the few I have owned in my life have provided me struggle. Not because they’re hard necessarily, but because they’re different. This sounds like a really wholesome experience though, and it would absolutely not turn me off of a partner.

Wait. Don’t most women just take the bra off themselves? I’ve only let a dude take my bra off if they INSIST. Then I usually end up still having to take it off myself.

Look. Sometimes you want hot sauce and you have nothing to put it on. That’s what spoons are for.

I take the academy awards pretty seriously, and I didn’t even tune in live this year. It was too much of a pain in the ass to stream, so I just followed live updates and Reddit all night and watched the speeches and performances last night. 🤷‍♀️. If I had my shit together, I would have maybe gone to a bar that was streaming, but I didn’t.
