The Spring Bonding Montage Has Arrived! 🌷

Saving this for my speech

P.S. Every mistake has its own surname...and because of the inaction of your political leaders, Putin was able to fund an army and nuclear weapons aimed at Europe with your gas and oil money. Thanks to the incompetence of your politicians, dictators and terrorists became more and more brazen...and your own politicians destroyed the German military industry and army from within. I am more than convinced that if NATO countries had met normal and effective defense requirements THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A WAR...

The shame of Western politicians is actually even greater than most can imagine, because already at the beginning of the 2000s, THE WEST RECEIVED ALL THE INFORMATION AND PROOFS THAT PUTIN WAS PREPARING FOR A WAR AGAINST THE WEST...

this post was supposed to be a lighthearted post about aspec people by highlighting them in a joking way that still instills positivity and pride in the identity .

unfortunately too many people are too chronically online and media illiterate to realise that so let’s break down the post.

‘shout out to the people not having gay sex this pride month’

this was intentionally a worded to counter the ‘have lots of gay sex this pride month’ jokes and positivity that surround pride discussions. The wording directly associates with anti-queer activity and their frequent attempt to divert attention from queer people during the month of pride. it is worded intentionally. it is supposed to seem counter active to pride .

the humour is then seeing a pride flag. specifically the asexual flag- in which case this stands for an umbrella term across the aspec community which is more recognisable than the variety of aspec flags that i had seen whilst looking for a flag for this post . the grey line of the asexual flag stands for the spectrum between allosexual and asexual it represents the degrees of asexuality and in so, with the purple, stood for the aspec community in this post.

if the joke is still lost on you, the idea was to read a statement that counters the idea of queer pride and find it recontextualised to humorously represent an identity associated with the lack of sexual attraction; ergo no gay sex .

what this post is NOT, is a comment on varied asexual attraction. it us not a commentary on what makes a valid asexual person or whether or not you specifically will have sexual inter course this pride month . it is not saying asexuals are not allowed to have sex . this post is pushing any stereotype of asexuality . op is a sex having aspec person. i am demisexual . i have been with my partner for almost 2 years and engage in sexual activity .

what this post IS, is a joke. it’s a fucking joke i cant make it any clearer. not every single joke is going to relate to your own experiences and that’s ok. not every post about asexuality is going to relate to your own experiences that’s ok. you need to stop taking things at face value and actually engage in some media literacy to understand when something is a reductionist and stereotyping commentary which is inherently negative and when something uses a reductionist approach to convey humour because a lot of you really seem to be struggling with that one.

i fear a lot of you take yourselves too seriously and can’t find the humour in simple tumblr shitposts to the point where i’m having to actually explain what i thought was a very easy concept to grasp because it has upset a lot of people . stop taking everything so seriously .

if you are offended by the original post that is actually a you problem. that is something you have to work on where you cannot accept any form of lighthearted media that does not directly align with your own experiences . bc it’s not serious . it’s a joke x

also allo people can fuck off bc this is literally a post celebrating aspec ppl idc if your gf lives across the country or if you’re just a single loser this literally has nothing to do w u

yall make me want to kms for making me do this

Oh boy do I have some stories for you. Some are just experiences.

One- when I'm directly looking at someone, face to face, making eye contact and all I hear is "fhhdhdhskahakgdk" "What?" "fhdhsjsjdjjsjsk >:(" "What??????" "..." "OOOOH yeahhhh *insert topic here*". That happens way to often and I hate it.

Two- my mom will say "go do such and such" and I'm like, oh heck yeah I can do that, totally thinking "oh I understand what she said >:3". Time skip to when I'm done with the task and she's just like "...that is not what I told you to do". I just stare at her till she repeats the task and I'm like "oh. Mb lol."

Three- I physically can not have to conversations at once. This actually happened today. When I'm sitting in between two people, or I'm in a group, I have to make one person be quiet. I'll hush person #1, answer person #2, then go back to person #1 and answer them. People get mad at me for it but like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Auditory Processing Disorder Book

Hello, I’m a graphic design student wit ADHD and APD and I’m planning to make a book about APD this semester. The basic idea is a mix of texts that explain symptoms, treatment, and how it gets diagnosed with little comics that show typical situations and experiences that a person with APD goes through. 

That’s the part where you come in. I don’t know anyone else with APD and while the majority of the comics will be based on my own experiences, I did want to consult with some other people who suffer from the same disorder. So if you’ve got APD and you’re interested in telling me about your experiences and the funny, frustrating or whacky situations it has gotten you into, dm me or reply to this post, all stories included that aren’t my own will of course be credited. 

I would appreciate the help and I also just want to talk to some people who can relate!

does paris know i would die for him. because i would. i absolutely would.

...this hurts like hell.

they're chillin

HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!

Google Drive full of book PDFs about Chernobyl

Link to the Google Drive if you don't want to click the title: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kscKFciW6almJA8p-0sUQPO3c0A4AQYe

Note: It will be updated regularly - for as long as I'll be able to find/get new things =) So far I've compiled 41 books in three languages.

Just to repeat what I said in the first post: I'm open to any requests or suggestions or even PDFs themselves, if someone wants to share theirs from their collection. Message me, send me an ask, throw a rock through my window - whatever you prefer, just please, do it yourself because I'm too scared to message anyone, thanks. No fiction - that's the only rule. Any language is welcome - if you want me to look for a certain book in the language of your choice, I'll do that. If you have a book in language other than English, I'd love to add it to the Drive! If you have a better version of whatever PDF I've already got, then I'd be more than happy to do a swap.

Now, some of my reasoning, if anyone's interested: first of all, I think it's important for everyone to be able to access stuff like this. Think of it as a library, minus the "give these back" part. Secondly, I get soooo mad when people are like haha, found this super rare, basically impossible to find, very expensive book! ...I shall now keep it exclusively to myself. Ma'am, you're ruining the vibe and stalling everyone's hobby research but I guess you do you...
