MOOOOOOM, they’re trying to turn Tumblr into TikTok again!

Offering to Lady Themis. I’ve had a lot of motivation for doing stuff in recent. This is a small moodboard I’ve put together for her. Feel free to use!

i'll walk into the landscape, i won't come back!

No because teenagers, especially those who are poc, poor, or are in abusive situations, literally do not have the access to proper help. For years before I was diagnosed with autism I can remember thinking about it and knowing I had it, but nobody thought it needed to be diagnosed. It wasn’t affecting me apparently. I was doing fine at school.

My autism is not the primary reason I had to later drop out of school, but I sure as hell know I would have had an easier time if I got help. Now I can barely leave the house because of autism and other disabilities. I was forced to mask my support needs for so long I have no clue just how much help I need. People treat me like I’m getting my life back together but I’m not. I will never have the life I wanted and the life I thought I’d have when I was younger.

it's so funny to me when i see pearl-clutching articles about how "teenagers are diagnosing themselves with mental disorders via tiktok" because like. this is not happening in a vacuum. teenagers are severely and i mean severely medically neglected. i cannot stress this enough. teenagers do not have free access to medical care. those same news outlets would be clowning on women with housewife psychosis in the 1950's.

i sometimes go pale when listening to some of what my friends have gone through in their childhoods and teenagehoods. they talk about it so nonchalantly, things that would be considered straight up torture if done to an adult, can't fathom the effect this has on children. they are on multiple anti-psychotics and several antidepressants and anxiety meds now that they are adults. medical neglect has legally and effectively disabled them. a timely diagnosis and intervention could have saved them. of course teenagers are self-diagnosing using tiktok. if your knee-jerk reaction is to scoff at the idea and dismiss it as dumb teenager shit instead of being radicalized because the best shot young people have at attaining the mental health support they need is a fucking dancing videos app, you're categorically a political enemy of the youth.

WOOOOOO cheering you on!

yesterday was very odd for me and im genuinely just... im in shock honestly. i worked from 6am to 10pm outside with my garden and me and a bunch of my family and neighbors were working on a barn and coop for the animals i may be able to get soon. usually, i am bed bound and i cant even get out of my house on good days. am i recovering?? this was so odd ive genuinely never been able to work that hard... ever! like im so sore and im in horrible pain and my skin burns but it feels good. im still giddy from it and its been 6 hours

i genuinely think gardening and farming might help me recover physically and mentally. i havent done heroin or fentanyl today or yesterday (tbf its 4am) and im just... i didnt even think about it. sure i was in pain but i was so focused it... didnt feel real. it felt like i was in a sped up youtube video.

Being autistic is when you share your positive thoughts on a topic and everyone gets mad at you because you said it wrong

As someone who’s felt both sides of this.

Being the “gifted” kid is an experience to say the least, but please don’t speak over others. If anything, we can help eachother! Solidarity!

insane to me when former gifted kids hear other people (mainly disabled people and dropouts) talk about being horribly traumatized & irreversibly harmed by the school system and their response 9/10 times is “oh yeah??? you think that’s bad??? well my teacher said I had potential and everyone said I was going places and then I didn’t” like we’re supposed to be absolutely devastated for them because of this. lmfao

If a giant bumble bee could fall asleep on my lap I’d be content with everything.

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
