a story is true,

Sometimes I jump ahead in our life together, and I see a time near the end. I can predict the future, and everything is settled. And all our lovers and children and friends come back and are welcome. And we have large gatherings where everyone’s laughing and playing games. I am older and I see things differently, and I finally understand you. And I take care of your dresses, keeping them from dust and ghosts and time.

hey why is tumblr becoming unusable on all ways to access the site

on mobile (and for reference i haven't even updated in months) you can't turn off tumblr live, can't double tap to zoom, the video player can take you somewhere completely unrelated if you don't commit a series of hyperspecific acts to exit it. ads take up the entire screen, music pauses randomly, it turns my phone hotter than the sun after fifteen minutes

on desktop i need an entire user-created extension to even access the site i'm used to. adblockers to hide the main issue, inspect element to hide literally the most annoying ad campaign i've ever had the issue of seeing for maybe thirty seconds (which has happened Twice now), can't message half the time without panic refreshing to make sure i actually got the message that they sent. defaulting to the for you tab for new users.

this sucks

when charles schulz said "all you need is love. but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt" and anthony bourdain said "your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. enjoy the ride" and mark twain said "part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like." when erma bombeck said "i am not a glutton- i'm an explorer of food," voltaire said "ice-cream is exquisite. what a pity it isn't illegal" and when kurt vonnegut said "you can't just eat good food. you've got to talk about it too. and you've got to talk about it to somebody who understands that kind of food."

This is true. The frontal lobe uses as much as 30% of your daily caloric intake. Imagine if every day, you had to max out on frontal lobe usage just to cope with reality. It puts the nervous system into a stress situation and this further affects the body’s ability to use calories efficiently.

Being neurodivergent or disabled means masking, and masking is incredibly difficult for the body. It’s also very demanding on the brain.

Also “you don’t look autistic” is fucking stupid and ableist to say.

Running ActLikePeople.Exe is fucking EXHAUSTING, let alone ActLikePeopleExpect.
