They Love Me So Much And I Love Them Even More

a better non-binary meme for yall

(now with 200% less alienation to transfem folks!)

Emmett from the other side of the house: I’m cold as a lion with no hair

Edward sat at the piano with his head in his hands: oh god no, not again

Emmett, getting closer: if you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear

Edward rocking back and forth: Rosalie take your child outside I beg

Emmett, launching himself from the top of the stairs to crouch right next to wear Edward is sat: HELP THE BEAR

Edward: ...

Emmett: cuz that bitch gone

need it

BAROLD! :D

my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit. he is also VERY, VERY DUMB 

it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”

kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time…

this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy. 

he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

I need to add “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard” into my vocabulary tool belt! It’s amazing!

Recently a couple of the autistic kids I work with have inspired me with openly, unapologetically owning it.

Like one kid saying “if I don’t make eye contact it’s because I find that hard and it’s easier to concentrate on what you’re saying if I’m not looking at you.”

And another one asking for clarification of an ambiguous statement to check understanding instead of just hoping for the best.

And one saying “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard”

I have so much respect for them for being able to voice those things! It’s inspired me to try harder to do that instead of masking until I meltdown because I’m so scared of how people will react.

Stories like this are what make me fall in love with people all over again. I love when people are helping others, but I especially love when you can tell people are having a good time. I love the the sight and sound of people living

Tell me a soft memory

i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.
