There's a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying "it's not sad if it's intentional!"
I can say that my weighted blanket is one of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten. The full body pressure helps me relax and keeps me feeling connected to my body - I didn't realize how much I disconnected when anxious until I got it
What the actual fuck. He told a small child searching for a lost pet that if she rang his doorbell again he "might pull her hair"? What kind of crazy fucktrumpet do you have to be to not only threaten a SIX YEAR OLD with a gun but also threaten to pull her hair like a schoolyard bully?!? What is WRONG with this guy?
Cee-lo Green. He's brilliant, and has an amazing voice, but dude is a rape apologist and doesn't believe that an unconscious partner is unable to consent. An article from the Guardian where he apologized, but it's still out there.
" I need a SPOA and an AOC for this attached, and they better have the secure done before they show up for the EPU "
SUN-SOAKIN' BULGES IN THE SHAAAAAAAADE
Cx - customer is one I run into daily.
My therapist pointed out that a lot of autistic traits are extremely similar to trauma expression, and that it's often hard to judge which is which.
I feel like I'm an oddball because I tend to trust people until they give me a reason but to. That's led to some bad experiences, but it also gives my "this person is doing shady stuff" sense a boost. It's not insincere, but neither is waiting to judge :)
It's been about 8 years since I spoke to my parents, and about 12 since I spoke to my younger brother. They were all different forms of abusive, addicted, and mentally ill, and life without their bullshit is so much nicer. I don't have to listen to tirades about how my interests are wrong, or how I didn't turn out to be the perfect daughter. I don't have to pretend to accept apologies that are only to make someone else feel better. And I don't feel pressured to make sure that my mother isn't feeling hurt or put out by something I do that literally has nothing to do with her.
It was rough for the first few months, but I'd already grieved for the relationships that I wished I'd had and never got. I'm a lot happier without them, and much more able to care for my mental health now.
The neuropsych doctor I was tested by told me that she had been a special education teacher herself, and that during the 70s-90s (and probably even now tbh) there was a heavy emphasis on making students act "acceptably" by stopping them from making larger stim motions and that now they realize it's a bad idea. It sucks.
Little Bobby Tables, we call him.
Mark did, and brought him a towel to get it off. It's dangerous stuff in kayfabe.
