The Only Step We Can Take Is The Next One

you know what, shoutout to the neurodivergent people with "scary" symptoms.

the ones who:

-say dark things without realizing

-talk to themselves

-have homicidal thoughts

-get really, really angry

-make others uncomfortable on accident

-don't tolerate bullshit

-can't/won't mask

-have dark interests

-have genuinely hurt others before

-have been in a psych ward before

-obsess over people

-have intrusive thoughts about hurting people

-have sexual intrusive thoughts

-don't really care about others much

-always choose themselves first

-have low/no empathy

-are seen as creepy or scary by others

this goes out to my folks with autism that isn't "uwu cute". personality disorder havers. schizospec people. ocders. odd and ied havers. and anyone and everyone else.

this post does not support intentionally hurting people. but people who have hurt others in the past and have changed or are trying to change/in the process of changing are more than welcome here.

This too shall pass but like holy fuck

Does anyone got any tips on how to take care of a gerbil?

One came up to my sister and I while we were checking the mail, it's very friendly, not scared of our dog at all crawled right onto her nose 😂, clean and clearly was someone's pet

It's the winter and we didn't feel comfortable leaving her out there in the cold so we took her with us and sent word out that we have her with our contact info

Now it's just a waiting game to see if someone will claim her or if we're keeping her. Because this wasn't planned at all we're at a bit of a loss

We went out and got her what google said we needed for her, like obviously we got a cage, food, and water. We got her a wheel and a little house thing she can hide in, some treats and toys she can chew on and some hay

Does anyone know of anything else we may need? I want her to be as happy and healthy as possible.

Please be nice, we knew it's not great to get a pet before doing research on them and how to properly take care of them but it was either take her in or let her die 😭

To lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given side-eye when you tried to fit in…. you are so worthy of love.

Wearing rainbows today out of spite, I'm not going into hiding, I will not go back into the closet

my turtle goes trick-r-treating
