venezuela has announced it’s sending 30 tons of humanitarian aid supplies to gaza
venezuela, an impoverished and poor country, is doing this at a time when many of the richest countries in the world are cutting off aid to palestinians in the face of a genocidal invasion, by the way

You can believe in magic, but watch out.
It’s fun learning astrology until you start to make broad assumptions about real people’s behavior based only on their birthday.
It’s fun to speculate about alien civilization until you say early cultures weren’t competent enough to build their own pyramids or until scientologists stalk you for every penny you have.
It’s fun dressing symptoms in mystical language like “empath” or “indigo child” until you go through life undiagnosed, unaccomodated and feeling less and less human.
It’s all fun and games until Tiktokkers tell you hallucinations are actually attunement with a higher dimension and that you should stop taking your antipsychotics.
It’s fun to think about possession and changelings until mom starts trying to “save” her child’s soul or dad kills his family for having “serpent genes.”
It’s fun to see natural formations as if they were manmade until you start believing cultists when they say flying saucers are Antarctic Nazis.
You can believe in magic. It’s fun to believe in magic. Believing in magic is valuable stimulation. But watch out. Remember your reality checks. There’s a lot of cults and scams and white supremacists out there who want to sell you something, and that longing for magic to believe in is how they get you.

Many people have said that the solution to childhood abuse is having healthy relationships with people in your adult like.
What nobody says is that there’s an obstacle on that road called “You don’t know what those are.”
Also like. When you have been hurt by every major relationship in your formative years you learn:
a) That people will inevitably hurt you, which only pushes you away from forming any type of connections — healthy or otherwise
b) That this is the treatment you deserve, and these same unhealthy dynamics will perpetuate themselves in your adulthood
Breaking through that cycle is incredibly hard. Even as someone who was fortunate enough to develop much healthier relationships in adulthood, I am still plagued by those fears and beliefs constantly.
Because what are five or ten years of goodness compared to the very beginning of your life when you were first learning about the world and building and a sense of self, and the people who were meant to care for you most and support you unconditionally betrayed you in the deepest way possible?

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.
Here’s my logic:
- You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
- You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
- You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
- If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours
These tags are hilarious even though I don’t think you intended them to be.
*pulls European closer* The most populous countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil in that order, with these seven nations alone making up 48.16% of the world population. You may note with the aid of a map that many of these nations are quite large, and would take several days of travel to go across either in cars or on boats. Almost half of the world’s population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country. Your worldview is limited and Europe is a tiny outlier in travel time and standards for international relations.
really tired of seeing the idea that women & girls are less likely to be diagnosed with autism because it “presents differently” so widely accepted even in progressive spaces
it is also widely accepted that women get raises less often because they don’t ask as much as men. this is objectively not true.
it is also widely accepted that women are more talkative than men. this is objectively not true.
it is also widely accepted that women are taken less seriously when speaking because their speech patterns are associated with a “lack of confidence”. this is objectively not true. [1][2][3]
every time we talk about gender discrimination, people look for an explanation that starts with women’s behavior.
and every fucking time, actual research shows that across the board, women actually don’t behave that differently from men.
women aren’t diagnosed less often with autism due to “presenting differently”. it’s gendered medical neglect, and weaponized diagnoses disproportionately applied to women (e.g. BPD, HPD, bipolar, etc.)
