I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

Thank you

Yes, I totally believe that Louis doesn’t know any of the connotations behind rainbows at all. I 100% believe that Louis, a man who has been plagued by rampant gay rumors for a decade, has no idea what a rainbow might mean. I am fully convinced that Louis, a man who has been rumored to be with another male his whole career, is absolutely ignorant when it comes to the implications of rainbows. I guarantee that Louis, a man who staged bears who just so happened to have rainbow fur, is just a mega fan of gradients. I am so fucking certain that Louis is completely oblivious to the associations rainbows have with the LGBTQ+ community when he personally responded to commentary on his rainbow shirt years ago. You know what? I don’t even think Louis knows what a “““““rainbow””””” is. Actually, I KNOW for a a FACT that Louis William Tomlinson has never seen or heard of this so-called rAiNbOw at all. He is so Straight™, that his retinas are incapable of processing the full color spectrum. He sees only grey. He doesn’t even know what people are talking about when they say he commissioned a mural featuring a rainbow? He’s so confused. 

When They See Us Rant

I don’t think I’ve cried this much in a long time.

PLEASE WATCH When They See Us on Netflix.

‘When They See Us’ is a horrifying story of racism and the treatment of black people in this country, told beautifully through film. The story is a true story about five young boys; Kevin Richardson, Antron Mccray, Raymond Santana Jr., Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam. These young black and brown boys were no older than 16 when they were wrongfully convicted and accused of the rape and attempted murder of Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old, white woman. Kevin Richardson, the youngest of the five, was only FOURTEEN when he was beaten, detained, and illegally coerced by the NYPD in 1989.

The case was known as the Central Park Jogger Case and the five men the Central Park Five. The only thing these boys were guilty of was being black and brown in Central Park that night.

Kevin Richardson, Antron Mccray, Raymond Santana Jr., Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam, spent the end of their childhood incarcerated.

This past year I’ve seen other shows telling true stories, like The Bundy Tapes, receive raving reviews and advertising. I have not seen a thing about When They See Us. Now this would surprise me, if it weren’t for the constant systematic oppression of people of color in this country.

This series is not getting the attention it deserves, cause, quite frankly, too many white people get uncomfortable and turn off anything that makes them feel bad for being white. The problem is not that you’re white, it’s that you’re not using the privilege that comes with the color of your skin, to stand up for or at least learn about the experiences of other people.

So, to all the white kids following me; LEARN, learn the things you’re not being taught because media won’t show them and history won’t teach them.

Learn about the injustices that are coming in every direction at our siblings of color. Learn the history of oppression in this country, and systematic racism that has been built over centuries by other white people.

Use your privilege to do something for people who can’t do anything without getting a bullet in the chest or a life-sentence on their head.

Know your privilege and use it.

trans!peter parker

hello i have seen homecoming three times now and i’m obsessed and in love with everything about the movie and the trans!peter headcanon

The first thing i heard about trans!peter was a post talking about how being bullied for being a nerd in school really isnt a common thing anymore, at least in america, and, if anything, in my experience, it tends to be the smartest kids that are actually the most popular. And the post raised the question: So what if peter is actually bullied because he’s trans? And that makes so much sense. And being a trans boy in high school myself and absolutely on board with the headcanon i thought i’d join in and add some things. Some of these other people may have talked about also.

“I am not a GIRL. IM A BOY. I mEAN IM A MAN.” peter gets very upset when donald glover’s character calls him a girl. his voice breaks and he gets visibly flustered.

Flash calls him “Penis Parker”. speaking from experience, high school bullies are not very creative with nicknames and will always go straight for the deepest insecurity they know. I personally think this is a dig at peter being trans.

Peter has proportionally quite small hands and feet. 

He enjoys playing with things like Legos and Star Wars action figures. possibly because he didn’t get to when he was little.

He has quite a high pitched voice which he has difficulty controlling the depth of.

May’s comment about his body changing and him not feeling like he can fit in at a classmate’s party makes much more sense if you think of peter as trans.

Ned asks Peter if the spider venom gave him the ability to lay eggs, which is a bizarre question to begin with, but even stranger if being asked of an amab person. but this likely doesn’t have any substance as it was obviously just meant to be a funny moment, which it was, i laughed out loud all three times i heard it.

Peter doesn’t have much in the way of sideburns.

He’s pretty short.

The gym classes at Peter’s school are not separated by gender and they all wear the same uniform.

Most of his clothes are quite big on him. In my own experience, shopping in the men’s sections in stores doesn’t tend to go very well in terms of finding things that fit. Additionally, baggier clothes help to hide the chest and hip areas.

He doesn’t know how to tie a tie. Now this seems unimportant at first, but i actually think it could mean a lot, so hear me out. Considering how many clubs and extra curriculars he’s in (robotics, marching band, decathlon, etc.) he should have been to many recitals, concerts, competitions, etc that would require him to wear a tie throughout his intermediate and high school years. It’s weird that neither him nor may would know how to tie one. unless- he’s never done it before because he’d always worn the traditionally feminine uniform or formal wear. 

Now, there’s those two shirtless scenes that some people have been using to discredit the headcanon where he’s clearly muscular and flat chested with no visible scars. Well, my doubtful friends, there’s the possibility of a keyhole surgery which leaves minimal scarring. Also, the spider venom increases muscle growth and metabolism, and also gives peter a mild healing factor. This could have caused any scars he had to heal and fade completely. 

now obviously i realize not all of this inherently means he’s trans. cis guys can be short or have small hands and feet or high pitched voices or rounder hairlines, especially when they’re only 15 years old and everyone is growing at a different rate. These things just flesh out the headcanon a bit more. 

tl;dr: Peter Parker is an endlessly adorable trans boy and the hero we all need.

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"

TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE
