the school system is so funny. because people aren't actually learning, they're cramming. in fact, it's not necessarily intelligence that some people display, it's memory. they can remember what they cram. they have good working memory.

people with no perspective.
like listen, i see it from your point of view, i respect it. but this is how i see it, and i kinda need you to respect that too.
Losing touch with people because of perceived rejection and further isolating yourself. Marking messages as unread so you remember to respond, but archiving all because they overwhelm you. Silent for all devices.
- Unless I absolutely have to, I do not leave the house. Even when they're not there.
- Visits make me uncomfortable.
- I am irritable when people are not as sharp/swift with things I'm swift.
- I am hypervigilant.
- I am detached from everything.
if this is the first time the
#JusticeForAusta
is on your timeline, clicking on it should take you to all the posts that have been made to give you more information. Austa was killed by a Benjamin Best AKA Killaboi, who admitted to the crime and STILL walks.
Two months ago, Austa was killed by her boyfriend Killaboi.
The murderer dropped one silly ass message and dipped.
He is currently back on twitter, new handle and retweeting stuff like nothing happened and also deleted those messages.
This is Austaโs mum on Instagram. ๐

Might be a long thread, but hold my beer.
- I'm very isolate-y. I know I love someone, romantically or platonically when I don't mind them being in my space. Or mind being in theirs. I know I'm in love when I would leave my space for them. Headspace, physical space, etc. +
Sometimes when you see a privileged take, you just know. So many people can't because their basic living expenses cost even more than they earn. It's not even a matter of convenience, they just don't have enough to break even.
If you canโt save money when youโre earning 10k, you canโt save when youโre earning 100k.
Saving is a habit you need to build with discipline and consistency. Itโs not always supposed to be convenient.

Okay, I have a plan. One of you should give birth. Then your baby gives ME snuggles and I take care of her when you want a two-week vacation. And when she's with me. And when I see her. And I buy her the world. But I get to bring her back to you sometimes.
you have a very smooth brain. very very smooth. common sense and ideas and rhetoric and all that good stuff just rolls off. no lumps, bumps or ridges. smooth.
do you know what is very disturbing?
the fact that yโall are forgetting that men have feelings to , they get assaulted, raped, and so on this society donโt just take it up and feel the need to silence them

been looking for words to articulate how wicked it is to be planning an attack on someone because of their sexuality when it in no way concerns you. like you made it your business to watch his apartment and its visitors and everything, even had the gall to eat of his food.

What's happening in Niger is actually insane. They are children. No rehabilitation, no support. They are simply being allocated like one wouk do cattle. That is insane.

What I hate about myself is that you could leave me alone in a white sterile room with no stimulation and my work and I would absolutely find stimulation and not do my work. In fact, it might even be worse than when I have the usual stimulation.

so many reasons why this is daft. some of them?
- rape is one of the hardest crimes to prove.
- saying someone is โnot found guiltyโ doesn't mean they are innocent.
- a punishment already exists for false information/ perjury/defamation.
- statistics show that over 80% of +
Do you also feel bone crushing sadness (that morphs into quiet rage) when you're perceived wrongly by someone who's supposed to know you well or is that just a Desire problem?

My mother funded every single whim I had. Have. Ever. There's been a lot.
When I was much smaller, a woman followed me home because she noticed a man was following me.
My grandmother knew I loved books, so each year, she'd get me books.
You people stress me out. For one, as far as I know, decentering men means removing them from the forefront of our beings, and actions and thoughts and logic. You can be attracted to men and decenter them. There is a subset that doesn't, but they're a subset within a subset +

exams are a test of memory, and that's why i tell people that they shouldn't use that to measure their intelligence. it is just testing your memory. even your doctors and lawyers are constantly learning and unlearning, don't let them kill you please. ๐ญ

Unchanged. I am curious. Funny. I am brilliant. Gentle, but firm. I hope I am kind(because I am trying), and warm. Comfortable. Sturdy. Beautiful. I am all of these wonderful, wonderful things.
