Most of what I got out of a Japanese class I took was how to say that I don't understand Japanese.

I had a coworker who would frequently say "Not to be pendantic..." and I honestly could not tell if he was just fucking with me.

Yikes fuck that person for doing that.

I've started pronouncing debris like the British do and now I just do it all the time as I read.

I also say "sooorry" instead of "sorry" because I jokes around one too many times on a trip to Montana.

I immigrated to the US at like 8 years old, I speak on a native level, in contrast, my older brother stuggles like a lot, I noticed an accent. I asked my classmated if I have an accent, and they don't seem to notice any foreign accents.

Even then, there are still weird words that feels very weird to me. Like wtf is colonel = kernel , lmfao

Oh I am Mery hoot at misspeeling

House of Leaves

A dramatic retelling (and interpretive dance) of John Cage's "4'33""

Sure, when they do it they're "awesome" but when I do it suddenly I'm "tresspassing" and "not allowed to come back to the library".

I don't know if it's just my neurodivergencies speaking, but that's wayy too much. No way I'd ever do that, nor expect someone to do that for me. Basic things such as clean sheets and cleaning yourself? Sure. Dusting shelves, shampooing carpets, making sure everything is perfectly order, and other less important things like that? No I find that excessive and exhausting (although I don't like or have carpets in the first place). If someone comes over to visit they better be satisfied with a dryer rack full of clean clothes

But I'm definitively someone that does not care about the dance, as you call it. It's too exhausting. And as we're all bogged down by too much work, mental health issues, and/or neurodivergencies and disabilities.. what purpose does it serve? All it ends up doing is make us more isolated because we feel like we have to present ourselves as "perfect" for other people. If we can't actually feel comfortable in a social situation with someone and actually relax and reduce our stress.. something has gone wrong.

Like yes, don't have moldy food in the counter, but some dirty dishes in the sink are fine, you know?

But again, maybe it's because I'm more entrenched in neurodivergent/disability culture. I don't hold this kinda stuff against people, and I hope they don't hold it against me back. I know how hard it can be. I think it's much nicer when we can accept, and enjoy time with, imperfect humans, than always expect and demand perfect humans. Especially when none of us are perfect in reality.

Yeah, I have SO many rescue animals, it’s hard to explain to normal people. Multiple dogs with all sorts of problems, a few parrots, an angry hedgehog, two cats, and my vet’s first call to foster (almost anything). They are all well taken care of and clean but there’s a… smell.

I’m also holding Balthazar, a bark scorpion, against his will for invading Pretty Kitty Pepper’s land. Balthazar is kept well and fed a steady diet of pinheads. When he eats, it looks like a dot matrix printer in reverse. That’s the one creature in the house most people freak out about the most, but they would all be wise to fear the parrots.

Pretty Kitty Pepper for reference
