I don’t post much on here so I thought I’d just show the costume I wore to a renaissance faire yesterday
I’ll be sure to do more research next time as well
Hi. wingedjelliefshamira, who you recently reblogged from, is a scammer. They have used this story and profile picture several times in several different scams. I recommend deleting your reblog and reporting and blocking their account. In the future, you can check kyra45 's blog, or simply search up the url of blogs before you reblog them. Please be careful about what you're spreading!
Alright I’ll be sure to do so
I want to start being able to use my AAC apps in public without feeling overly anxious about doing so
If there are any AAC users (I’m talking specifically devices, but any is fine) full time users or part time who have suggestions for how to help with that anxiety it would be much appreciated
I feel like using (I’m not sure if I worded that right) AAC especially in public will greatly benefit me, but the thought of doing so kind of terrifies me
I find not using AAC makes me more likely to use question mark when not sure word makes sense
Probably evidenced(?) by the amount of times I use this “(?)” as well as “(not sure if that makes sense)”and “(if that makes sense)”
I find that using the AAC makes me feel less pressured(?) to have perfect grammar(?) (which I honestly don’t think I need for a tumblr post)
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
As I sit back after finishing these two discussion boards that are due this night I realize
“I could’ve gotten all this done way sooner if I hadn’t put off writing my notes”
But am I going to learn from this error…
Probably not 😔
Welp changed my profile picture
Might change it again in the future
Or not
Who knows? 🤷
Trying to figure out what I want my profile pic for this site to be is a lot harder than I thought it would be
Might just rotate(?) between different pictures
I relate to this so much, especially the part about caring(?) about your friends, but not necessarily wanting(?) friendship (I’m not sure if I’m wording this right)
Being aplspec makes discussions about friendships in aro spaces so awkward like. Yeah I agree friendship should be given more respect and amatonormativity should be dismantled. Yes I care very deeply for my friend(s). No I can't relate to your experiences with friendship or wanting friends. You've lost me. Why are you talking about friendship as if everyone has and/or wants it. Hey. Whatever happened to allowing people to decide what relationships they want and what those relationships entail for themselves.
It's exhausting because aro spaces are often one of the only spaces that will respect my devotion and care (sometimes I even call it love, depending on how I'm feeling that day) for my friend, but friendship is also just treated like romance is everywhere else and no one even seems to notice. You're not gonna defeat amatonormativity with the power of platonormativity. Have you considered readjusting your understanding of relationship anarchy and questioning your own biases and assumptions about platonic relationships? I'm drowning in "use friendship as a substitute for romance" posts over here
(and it's like. I don't want to criticize people's love for their friends or anything like that. I'm just so tired of all the assumptions of having and wanting friends. They're everywhere in here and make me feel so estranged from my own community)
(this turned into a bit of a vent but it's okay to rb and add on)
Would tags like "photosensitive"/ "photosensitive warning" or "flashing lights warning" work out and what other tags should we use as well to prevent this from happening?
I don't have any posts regarding flashing lights, but if I happen to post something like that in the future, I want to make sure I'm tagging appropriately
I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Here’s proof of what I mean:
THIS IS SO REAL!!!
I just want to rip my spine out sometimes 😭 #scoliosisproblems 😔👊
