Y’all ever hit that point where you just emotionally wanna take a nap but instead it’s time to go to bed for real?

Same.

@Mandalore652020 Absolutely name and shame the hypocrisy of people who choose to be in the public eye.
But we gotta stop letting the same things slide when people we like say it. It just indicates the foundations aren’t solid.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@Mandalore652020 I think that we need to look critically at what we (all media consumers) are doing if we want anything to change.
We should be more consciously wary of any person who begins moral positions with tokenization. We should call it out in our friends and our media figures.

@alexfossinator The real question is whether it’s that I have Weird Boomer Vibes or I’m just too cool and autistic to Know Things Like A People Do.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@alexfossinator Wait, me??
Are you accusing me of only knowing what the youths are doing because I read about it on Wikipedia or because neurodivergent youths tell me about it at work because I am a Safe Person To Talk About Special Interests With??

Me??

Jean says it’s ok to be disappointed, it’s fine to be mad. Just don’t get so discouraged that you forget to hold a grudge

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@alexfossinator I had to look up what you were talking about. Literally wasn’t sure if it was a song, essay, or YouTube video.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

Set your boundaries early and often.

You can be an asshole about it if you want, but it’s not a requirement. Your boundaries can be firmly enforced without you being an asshole too. Again, you’re welcome to be if you want. That’s your choice.

I will judge you for your choices!

@Hieronymuslein @ADHD_Alien To clarify: my skill for speaking clearly & engagingly has served my by letting me immerse & learn experientially in the workplace - NOT that it has allowed me to be lazy & learn nothing.
I now teach & monitor social emotional growth with the empathy of having struggled myself.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@Hieronymuslein @ADHD_Alien Oh absolutely!
I know how to speak engagingly even when I don’t know what I’m talking about. Most of my good grades in academic classes was just that.
(That talent has served me well in the workplace though so idk about what that says about school preparing you for Real Life.)

@amandaknox I’m thankful you survived. Thankful you got home. Thankful the real killer was caught. Thankful you were acquitted. Thankful that you tell your story.

I also encourage people to focus on the people who are grateful for them, not necessarily the people they’re with for holidays!

@chr0niciconic @truthisjustice2 @disabledphd But the main reason I remember that is because I thought it was ironic that I couldn’t read the posts to evaluate ableism myself because the image had been so compressed that it felt like trying to squint and read with my shitty eyeballs.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@chr0niciconic @truthisjustice2 @disabledphd This is helpful context.
I follow Jorts, saw that tweet hrs after posting, but the contents (including account information) were indeed obscured in the post I saw.
I’d believe a clear version was posted & if that’s the case: that’s crappy and I’ll take it up with Jorts myself.

@sportswithjohn Uhhh America the Beautiful kinda goes off the rails tho.
The second verse starts:
“O beautiful for pilgrims feet”

@jpbrammer Papí always hits me in the feelings when I least expect it.

[Bexistential Dread @grayandrainbows]

@jpbrammer See this is the niche content that makes me feel seen.
Wikipedia Queers/Queens.
Today I dedicated an hour and a half of my life minutes to reading about reoccurring sketches and characters on late night shows that aired before I was born.
