Someone You Can Build a Nest In.

A funny little romance as told from the point of view of the monster terrorizing a town. She tries her best to woo a human and actually is a pretty supportive partner. It’s so weird and I love it.

I have aphantasia. The reason this experiment works is because someone with aphantasia will logically think about what they’re being asked, but since they’re not really “picturing” it, they won’t have any answers about details. Color, type, and size of the ball? I have no idea, that information wasn’t relevant to my mental checklist. For me, it really does work like a checklist. My brain supplies exactly zero imagery. For some people it’s more like a spectrum, where they might be able to have a hazy picture with minimal details.

But aphantasia is 100% real. It’s just hard for people to believe it because it’s so foreign to the way they’re used to thinking, in the same way it sounds unbelievably exhausting to me that regular people are constantly creating movies in their heads.

They never said cis, did they? Could be a transman.

A first date was already not going well, and I said I needed to go. He decided that wasn’t happening. Ended up having to run away from him, literally, through a park area while wearing heels to reach my car. It was daytime and many people saw what was happening, but no one did a thing to help. But I’m sure if it hadn’t been daytime, he wouldn’t have “let me” get away after catching me. There were just too many eyes on him.

I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

What is a Sambo?

Canada doesn’t accept just anyone for no reason.

Another good rule of thumb is to assume that if she was working, it was just customer service and she’s not actually into you.

Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn’t healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I’ve never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

There’s a difference between using it as an adjective and a noun.

Requesting “a female doctor” is not as bad as requesting “a female.”

If you live in Canada, absolutely do not do this. It can affect how much severance you’re entitled to.

I have aphantasia and I love so many colors! I love looking at them, the more so because I can’t remember them later. But every time I look at, for example, a bright yellow, it’s like experiencing the wonder of it for the first time again and it’s mesmerizing. Sometimes I have a hard time trying not to stare at certain colors I see. I might be broken.

The number of homeless people jumped by 16% (I assume compared to last year’s numbers). That doesn’t mean that 16% of people are homeless.

People have most certainly felt electricity.

A-plus for authenticity, plus I feel like you’ve truly captured the essence of what that message sounds like. Good job!

It’s happened in education and the inverse happened in computing.

You can have municipal regulations and be free to decide what to do with your own property aside from that. Most of the world does it and things work just fine, with the added benefit of no HOA troubles.

e. e. cummings did this for me with poetry. True masters of their craft know exactly the right ways to break the rules.

I hadn’t even considered that. I usually wet it first. I’ll try not doing that and see if i have a better experience.

Toothpaste that foams too much. Which is most toothpaste.
