figuring out how to draw them

My neurodivergent friendships are some of the most beautiful things I experience. When you live your life feeling disconnected and alone from others. Meeting people you feel connected is kind of overwhelming. I have craved close, supportive friendships since I was nine. Finally, I have them, and it's amazing. Because I know that these people get me. On a fundamental level, they have experienced the same shit I have.

Your people are out there, I promise.

And now for something completely different,

¿Fail? ¿Failwin?

HEY I DID (start) MY MEDICAL TRANSITION THIS YEAR HOW AWESOME IS THAT.

I NO LONGER SUFFER THE CURSE OF BIG BAZOOBAS. VISIBLE SIDEBURNS ARE WITHIN MY REACH. MY VOICE IS DROPPING.

(now what the hell am I going to do with my life in 2024?)

(whatever the fuck I want.)

This whole "people shouldn't come for jamie lee curtis, she deserves an oscar too and she's a great person" shtick is soo tired to me bc I have no interest in attacking her as a person for the simple reason that I don't even know her like that.

But based on this awards season alone, here's what pisses me tf off and what people are absolutely allowed to be annoyed over. The whole "It's not her fault she's a nepo baby" doesn't cut it when you have the epitome of white privilege going on stage to accept an award (SAG in this case) for an Asian American movie and cry about how she's 64 and a nepo baby (because she was butthurt over internet jokes pointing out her privilege) RIGHT IN FRONT OF a 64-year-old Black woman who was raised in the projects by a single mother, hell who was part of school integration because segregation was still a thing when she was little, with absolutely no shame. Boasting about your privilege in front of a woman who is the same age as you and has definitely been set back by that age way way more than you and had to work miles harder to even get her career started is not cute. It's disrespectful.

But who is getting attacked for not being humble enough? Of course, the Black woman who dared to look sad as she watched her life-long dream get crushed right in front of her. Whose hard work was ignored yet again.

Did you see Jamie's face when Angela accepted her Golden Globe, by the way?

So yes, I absolutely am annoyed by Jamie right now and not for things outside of her control. White women get to turn their privilege into a joke because they got butthurt by it being pointed out once while Black women aren't even allowed to express their emotions without facing vile misogynoir.

If you, and I absolutely hold white people to a higher standard here, but if you want to acknowledge the hurdles women and specifically older women have in the industry on the platform that stage gives you, you do not get to leave out the woman in that same category who is affected by this even more than you. Especially while you're holding an award that an Asian American movie enabled you to win.

I Know You’re Joking, But TBH, That’s Kinda Genius (20 Pics)
