I’m so proud of myself; I let my history professor know that I’m autistic and have social anxiety and because of that I have some struggles when it comes to speaking. I also told her my pronouns. It went really well; and she asked me if the presentation that is due towards the end of the semester will be a problem (I haven’t gotten to her on that yet) and she said she appreciated my openness.
Note: I told her this information in an introduction paragraph (which is mandatory/graded) that we can use to share with her any thing that we deem of importance (if that makes sense)
Enjoy these photos of my baby, I got more that I’ll post at a later time/date
Damn you (neutral) now you got me actually wanting to write that essay
This literally makes me want to do research and everything
I don’t have the time to do that 😭😭😭
the aromantic urge to write an essay about the tendency to over-emphasize love within restorative spaces and how that is ultimately harmful and narrows our vision
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)
I hate that the possibility of me not being able to finish college and get a bachelor’s degree is getting more and more realistic.
I’m relying on a scholarship type thingy that pays a big chunk of my tuition but it relies on my grades, I need like all A’s in order to be able to keep going to college. I know that theoretically I didn’t but I can’t help but feel like I failed.
It also doesn’t help that I can’t really work due to disability (I unfortunately was unable to get benefits even though one of my testers(?) said I need it).
Welp guess who’s sick 😗✌️
And yet I still have to do schoolwork 😔
(I have not done any today yet) (that is beside the point)
Check out above post if you want more context
Ok so according my results from these tests:
I’m inclined to believe that I’m an ISTJ
I had also initially taken the keys2cognition quiz around the same time I took the first sakinorva test and I basically got the same results as this recent one on here (unfortunately I had deleted the past results and can’t get them back)
🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 2
Wolf eels (which are not eels at all despite the name) have life long mates
Bagel out 🤸
Yes yes yes, this, this right here
I think more people should headcanon characters as repulsed, loveless, and non-partnering actually.
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
I don’t know how to reblog with tags (like another person’s tags) (I’m not sure if that’s possible)
Anyways…
YESSSS THIS RIGHT HERE
ND culture is being given one task from someone and being set on completing that task and getting upset(?) when the task is interrupted because someone else wants you to do another task.
