Heard my autistic brother speak for the first time today. He is 10

job applications are so stupid. "what's ur desired salary?" ten billion dollars next question

“this too shall pass” and it gets worse

I think it’s okay to want more from life than just children and a family.

Many times I've had to tell myself "please, don't cry" while eating, while working, while walking alone down the street

A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying. The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds. Just resting. Not sleeping. When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly, “Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.” A few people chuckled. She laughed too. But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been: holding the baby, packing snacks, cleaning spills, walking him down the aisle, missing her own meal trying to calm him down… while the husband watched a movie with headphones on. And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted. Not because they’re doing everything alone. But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

the neurodivergent tendency to never initiate a conversation but be very social and bubbly when approached

"if you sleep in the afternoon, you won't sleep at night" me in the afternoon and at night:

when I'm struggling but I don't tell anyone

A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom. But when a woman expects a comfortable life, she is somehow shamed for wanting too much

half of my day is just me convincing myself not to give up on everything.

No part of childbearing appeals to me. Not the pregnancy stage, the birthing stage, the breast feeding stage or the lifelong devotion stage. None.

accidentally made a suicide joke in front of ppl who’ve never been suicidal before

Endometriosis has been found in the lungs, the brain, lymph nodes. Yet male baldness still has more research done on it than endometriosis.

how it feels to be undiagnosed but knowing there’s something wrong with you

"listen to your body" my body: go get a cinnamon roll the size of a tire

Went to the male gynaecologist & when he was looking over my history he said "Endometriosis?" and I said yes. And he said "Is that just your speculation or have you actually been diagnosed?" and I was like "I have been cut open three times for it so I hope it isn't just speculation." and he just looked at me and said "Females tend to diagnose themselves falsely because they are dramatic"

i need to repeatedly slam my head against a fucking wall

I think it’s okay to want more from life than just children and a family.

They’ll pour billions into fixing “low sperm count” and call it innovation, but people with Endometriosis are still told their pain is “just cramps” and to take a painkiller and go home. Infertility gets urgency when it’s male, but lifelong suffering gets dismissed when it’s not. Medicine didn’t suddenly become incapable... it just shows where priorities really are.
