Really uncomfortable with the narrative I've been seeing that people with personality disorders are stunted by trauma and suspended in the mental state of being a teenager.
This narrative could most definitely be used to take autonomy away from people, and imo it's not true.
Trauma has certainly changed the way our brains work, but that's not the same as being 'mentally a teenager', and it's dangerous to suggest that. I don't think PD traits can or should be classified as 'immaturity', either.
Whenever I'm talking to someone I rarely actually look them in the eye. My eyes usually focus on the eye brows and nose bridge. Those are close enough to the eyes that people think I'm looking them in the eye.
It's scary that this kit exists. It compares autism to cancer, tells parents to not accept their child's autism, tells them to mourn their VERY LIVING child because they're not neurotypical, and on and on. It's so disturbing.
Autism has long been synonymous with "struggle". If you don't struggle, if you're successful or you're just happy with life people are less likely to recognize you as autistic, except for other autistic people.
I swear, we have an autism radar. Autie-radar? Autie-dar?
A tiny and giant excited for a new album from an artist!!
The tiny mentions that they miss attending live concerts so the giant starts scheming. The night of the albums release, the tiny begins to take a long bath and the giant rolls their eyes at the tiny when they say they’d be ready to get moved back to the bedroom in 30, both of them knowing full well it would take the tiny an hour before the giant would hear the faintest call from the bathroom). The giant sets up a series of bluetooth speakers that connect to one another, spacing them out like a concert would or an amphitheater. Connecting their phone to the bluetooth devices, linking them all together, loading the album on spotify, and lastly making sure the volume is on the lowest setting. They lay out some blankets for the floor and pick out a festive outfit for the tiny. The giant changes themselves into an outfit that theyd wear to this particular artists show.
The giant, unable to wait any longer, grabs two mini towels, enters the bathroom, and places a towel on the counter. Without warning they scoop the tiny in their hand, causing the little one to yelp before they gently lower them onto the towel on the counter and wrapping them in the other towel. Presenting the outfit and striking a pose in their attire, the giant flashes a toothy grin at the tiny and alerts them to an upcoming surprise.
The tiny smiling back up begins to get dressed and the giant presses play before scooping the dressed up tiny and bringing them to the bedroom.
“Is this too loud for you?”
“Its perfect! Im so exited! Thank you!”
the two enjoy their miniature concert, the giant careful to not jam out too hard 😋
so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it's unintentionally the funniest shit I've seen today. why? well.
now important context here: in German, die (pronounced 'dee') is just a feminine article, it literally means "the".
but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn't use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think "they want me to die how?" it keeps getting funnier.
