Toxetta - Pearlescent Goop Pit

Twitter/X thread from Victoria Duncan on X:
"At some point, very early on, undiagnosed neurodivergent children are faced with a terrible dilemma.

They will tell someone they're in pain, someone they trust, and that person will say no they're not. That didn't hurt. It can't have. They're being selfish/dramatic/lying.

The child has to get their head around it. They feel pain, but a trusted caregiver says they don't and they're being bad for saying so. How can it be true?

There are only two, bad, options.

The child may choose to believe the caregiver and decide that they are wrong about their pain. They will make this choice again and again over the years and slowly learn to ignore their body until they are barely connected to it at all. They learn not to trust themselves.

Or, the child might not be able to ignore the reality of their pain. In which case, they have to give up on pleasing their caregiver by keeping quiet as demanded. They learn that adults won't believe or take care of them. They learn not to trust other people.
I think whichever choice you make, you carry the rest of your life, disconnected either from your own body and experiences, or from other people and meaningful relationships. Maybe both.

Anyway, diagnosis is the only way out of the dilemma. It's the only way your reality can be different from other people's without someone being at fault - is if you have a word like "sensory overwhelm" to explain the difference.

That's why diagnosis changes lives & why people want it so much.

This is about saying you're in pain because of sensory overwhelm, but it can also be about saying you're tired from sitting still or socializing or reading and someone says you can't be. Saying you "don't like" an activity you find hard, and having people assume the worst of you.

i have decided to be extra. instead of using capital letters i'm just going to make the first letter of every sentence bold. probably not going to keep this bit up for more than like a week. but it feels funny in the moment

pic unrelated btw

This is what I've been saying. Being a lesbian or gay is not something you can "identify as", its something you are.

aw hell yeah, happy gay month besties!!

[Start ID: A painting of a boot that someone is wearing. In the background, a long transgender flag flies back and forth in an S shape. To the left and the right of the boot, "Respect Existence or Expect Resistance" is written. Behind the transgender flag the background is orange fading to red.
The boot itself has purple shoelaces, a blue to pink gradient on the side, and white pink blue and purple flames around the toes. There are metal spikes and ball piercings around the toes as well. On the bottom of the heel, in small letters, is a repeating "T4T" pattern. Above that is the ⚧ transgender symbol with an anarchist A through the circle. Above that is a circular Against Me! patch in black and white, stitched onto the side of the boot.
The pants the person is wearing have several patches on it as well, including a Nine Inch Nails and an In This Moment patch. The pants are black with white stitching.
The sole of the boot has teeth painted around the front sides, making it look like the boot is biting down. /End ID]
