whenever you read those “10 things to know before getting this pet” things they’re so basic, just stuff about lifespan and diet and stuff, no one ever thinks to tell you “your rat is going to want to open your mouth and stick his head in” or “bearded dragons sometimes just swell their eyes to the size of ping pong balls’ or ‘chickens will try to eat your cat’
you know what, shout out to autistic people who can’t manage their emotions for shit
autistics who have meltdowns once or multiple times daily from emotional overload
“overly sensitive” autistics
autistics who try to control their response to things that upset them but can’t
autistics who are greatly upset by seemingly small things
autistics who get told that it’s “not a big deal” and that they’re “overreacting”
autistics who are mocked for being upset
you’re freaking wonderful and i hope that you have a good day with minimal upsetting events. you deserve to feel okay and your emotions are always valid and real, don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise.
– “Overly sensitive” autistics who live with volatile behavior and stay overwhelmed a lot
– “Overly sensitive” autistics being actively destabilized by abusive behavior
– People whose “weird”, autistic-looking reactions get treated as the only problem there, and possibly abusive
– Very possibly including by professionals, leading to inappropriate/abusive treatment based on faulty premises
Also stop making plans in front of people and then saying “and I guess you too” because that feels fucking worse than not being invited
fun story: last saturday before i went to work (the night shift, 5pm to 2am), some of my friends and i were planning a night out. the only day that worked for me was monday because i work every other day.
they decided maybe they would just go out that night instead, while i was at work, because there are more places open on saturdays than mondays. my friend said, “you dont really like going out anyway right? its okay if we go without you?”
i had to look her in the eye and remind her that the reason we were going out was because we were celebrating my birthday. they were gonna celebrate my birthday, without me.
I can’t even add a heart to this one, that’s just fucking terrible
It’s not uncommon for police officers to use this tactic to slow down traffic to provide opportunity and clear space for a short burst of work to clear the scene of an accident up ahead.
That said, the fact that everyone is rolling with it is fucking hysterical.
when we were babies my dad was a stay-at-home dad while my mom kicked ass in the courtroom but he would carry my twin brother and me around with one baby on the front and one on his back in backpacks
and women would come up and look at how cute i was and coo over me and be like “awww how cute wow”
and my dad would be like, “YOU KNOW WHAT’S CUTER THAN ONE BABY”
and then he’d spin around
and BAM
there was my brother
happy father’s day to my dad, who remains, to this day, blissfully unaware of this post
If you’ve been following me for a while, you more than likely know what’s going on, but for those who don’t know: I’ve been in an extremely toxic, abusive relationship for the past 6 ½ years with my son’s father. We have a 3 year old together. While I did leave him last year, I (stupidly) came back in March under the promises of “things would change” etc etc. He has been emotionally, verbally, physically, sexually, and financially abusive. I am cooperating with the state in applying for all kinds of state assistance I am eligible for. I have an apartment and have our most basic needs covered. I need help with covering rent at the end of the month as I can’t do it by myself (my rent is $936), I have no consistent means of transportation (there is no bus/public transit in the city I live in) and I really realllyyy don’t want to have to allow my abuser into my home just to help cover these bills. I can manage on my own, but I need help getting on my feet and establishing my independence in the time being.
Any resources, encouraging words (I have virtually no support system), or other help is so much appreciated.

Please please don’t send anon hate or criticism, I cannot stress how hard I am struggling with my own guilt and self-blaming right now

I’m having a sale on my website, if donating isn’t your jam.
Bringing this back, with an update: I wasn’t able to survive on my own so I had to let him in. Lo and behold the abuse continues. Today he punched a hole in the bedroom door. My dad is going to cosign for a new apartment for me back in my hometown, as long as I cover the costs he is going to help me move. I’ve already got a rental application submitted. I’m done I’m leaving I’m OUT. I have tangible proof and I can break the lease without repercussions through the domestic violence clause in the lease.
I just need help with the intial moving costs and initial housing costs- the apartment I applied for is $645 a month, security deposit same amount. First months rent and security deposit due at lease signing. Moving costs are around $400 (it’s a 300 mile move so it gets expensive fast)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REBLOG
I’m almost 15% of the way there!! Please boost!
UPDATE: before my best friend came to get me to visit her, he and I got into a huge fight. He was screaming at me at the top of his lungs calling me a selfish bitch and a slut. He then proceeded to tell me Makoons won’t have any parents anymore if I call the cops.
Please boost!! I want to leave BEFORE this escalates!!!!
UPDATE: so it escalated last night. He’s in jail. He’s getting charged for domestic disorderly conduct or some shit like that. Once he’s released from jail he’s legally able to come back, if I take him off the lease I’ll be evicted unless I have a cosigner (which I do not have.) so my options are essentially continue dealing with this or move.
