hey gaud, i hope this isnt an insensitive question, but what exactly is a sensory issue? i think it has to do with things like being unable to hear chewing/swallowing (aka hell) but im not actually sure
not insensitive at all, and thanks for asking <3
in the original post i was referencing sensory processing disorder, which is very common among autistic folk. i’ve only done limited research, but it’s my impression that sensory processing issues can be comorbid with/a subcomponent of a number of other mental health issues. basically, it’s a good conversation for the neurodivergent community to have!
different sensory stuff can cause trouble for different people. E.g. your example of the sound of chewing/swallowing. some common sensory issues I’ve seen people talk about:
sound of styrofoam
sound of utensils/ceramics/plateware/etc
chalkboard & nails (very common one!)
fingernails scratching on certain surfaces
the compulsion to ‘balance’ out footsteps, physical actions (such as blinking, hand gestures, etc). for instance stepping ‘too hard/not hard enough’ on one side and needing to ‘make up for it’.
the feeling or sound of rough surfaces
feeling of old/dirty/wrong fabrics
those are some of the more common ones, but there are plenty of others. often there’s no predicting it–it’s a nuisance, but there aren’t always rules!
Hidden inside every Skyscraper is a continuous waterfall of human excrement falling down to the sewers below.
so i was looking up animal stereotypes and

During WWII, the Imperial Japanese government forced hundreds of thousands of women into sexual slavery. This International Women’s Day, I want everyone to remember all the “comfort women” and their continued fight. “Comfort women” is a euphemism that was used by the Japanese army to refer to Women from all around the world - including Korea, China, Philippines, Vietnam, and the Netherlands - who were kidnapped and forced to provide sexual services to their soldiers. How can you help boost their voices? Support organizations advocating for survivors.
House of Sharing: Home for Korean survivors
Korean Council for Justice & Remembrance
Lila Pilipina : Organization for Filipina survivors
If you want to financially support survivors, considering donating directly to the Korean Council and the Butterfly Fund - which was established by survivors Kim Bok-Dong and Gil Won-Ok to help victims of sexual abuse around the world: [x]
If you want to help raise awareness for comfort women survivors, please follow Girl of Peace Documentary and donate to our Kickstarter. We’re hoping to create a documentary for an English-speaking audience. There are now only 22 Korean survivors left. It’s imperative that we act now to demand justice for comfort women.
Speaking of impossibly spherical animals, we love this awesome Balloon Horse sculpture by Japanese pop surrealist Naoto Hattori (previously featured here).
The Balloon Horse measures 12-inches-tall and is made of polyresin that’s been hand-painted to look like bronze. The horse floats atop a 6-inch-tall base painted to look like beautiful green marble.
Each piece is signed and numbered by Hattori and is currently available for pre-order via VTSS.

we’re all ok w scottish english being a recognized dialect (sse or scottish standard english), and australian english being a recognized dialect, but the second people bring up aave (african american vernacular english) yall are like “thats just internet speak” or “thats not real its just people talking dumb”,, like no aave is a recognized dialect yall are just racist...
also id like to point out that i myself am not quite sure how the scottish/australian dialects are thought of in their own country, im basing this off of how everyone seems to treat aave versus how they treat “scottish people of twitter” or australian slang, but it does seem far more normalized/accepted than aave. we appropriate aave and get mad at people for calling it out.
(btw have yall ever actually heard someone who knows how to speak in aave?? have yall ever heard someone who doesn’t know how to and is just using it in the way they speak in ‘internet slang’? its like hearing a scot speak sse versus someone who just knows a few words speak sse. which i mean, is exactly what happens with aave, but i hope u know what i mean)
(also whenever i see people complain about aave, i feel like they’ve never really listened closely to someone speaking it)
anyways correct me for anything im wrong abt here bc im justa dumb white kid trying to figure out this stuff and this is a thing ive noticed a Lot,, im 13 n tryin to figure this stuff out while my brain is still malleable ✌️
i love my kitties !!!he/they white minorfollow @biblicaaly-accurate-angel for actual blog stuff
