don't unload on yer allies because they've been discovering what you grew up with every fucking day of your life

Also, and I’m now more cognizant of my ADHD than I have been previously in my life, all this is set up with a neurotypical expectation that you can (and must be) emotionally healthy while making yourself do hours of uninteresting drudge work daily, and with the understanding that its benefits are going to be limited; it’s never a one time and you’re done thing.

okay food helped. Being at my place helps. Cleaning up all the stuff my housemate left in the sink means I don't see it anymore.

I can't be the only person who thinks anthro hippo girls are potentially hot BUT ALSO irrevocably associate them with the climax/the Sodomy song from Meet the Feebles.

damnit no matter how loud I play The Blue Danube Waltz it doesn't make my ballpoint pen float in midair
