The Q in Lgbtq+ can either stand for queer or questioning, or both. I always thought it was “queer”, since you can be queer but not necessarily lesbian, gay, bi, or trans. Also, yes, the term “queer” has been used by the lgbtq+ community to describe people who are not cis/straight. I suppose it could still be used in a derogatory way, but it’s not really considered a slur anymore.

The reason, I think, that everyone loves Mimikyu; is because him being a "Pikachu rip-off" is literally part of his lore. All he wants is to be loved. But nobody can love his true form because if they see it, they go fucking insane. So he hides under an attempted disguise of the most beloved Pokémon in history, Pikachu. Poor dude just wants to be appreciated and cared for. So much so, that if his costume gets torn even slightly, he can be seen trying his hardest to repair it so nobody can see any part of his true self. Also, if I was born in the medieval era, I would've died at birth. I was born with actual holes in my heart, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy to name name few. If I, by the grace if God himself, survived past birth; I would've died by the age if like, 5 to maybe 9. My first seizure that I somewhat remember happened around that time frame. And I survived because my brother told my mom that I just randomly fell on the floor and started shaking, and she called 911. They would not have taken me to the hospital back then. They would've assumed I was either possessed by Satan, or a prophet of God, and just left me alone thinking God was speaking to me as they did with Ceasar in the Ronan era. Even in today's age, I've "died" at least twice I think. At one point for a full hour. So, yeah, I would not have lived very long.

Footless Jo has a video where she explains how she doesn't show pain for just about anything as a defense mechanism because she's encountered so many people all throughout her life who have just put her real pain off as exaggerated or all in her head. So she's made it a habit to just not show any pain she feels except when it's over a 10 just so people will *believe her* when she says she's in pain (along the lines of "JO is saying she's in pain? but she doesn't show pain for ANYTHING! It must be really bad if JO, of all people, is saying she's in pain"). Poor woman spent her life earning pain expression brownie points. Also, for 11:30 : cold-brew tea is when you put a teabag in cold water and just wait for it to infuse. The lower temperature prevents the tannins in the tea leaves from being dissolved in the water, making for a less bitter tea. My personal favorite way to have cold-brew tea is in summer when it's hot, you put one teabag per liter of water into a large container (I use two-liter bottles but you Americans have gallon jugs and I am jealous) and then you add some freshly sliced fruit, maybe an herb or two. One tablespoon of sugar per liter of water if you want it. Shake, then let sit in the fridge overnight. This is the only thing I drink during the hot summer where I live. You can also just get fruit teas to avoid having to slice fruit yourself - tea shops will often have blends with or without actual tea in them and with dried pieces of fruit. I use muslin bags to put those in the bottle so I can get the fruit out without a hassle. A slightly different variant of this is sun tea: just follow all the above steps and leave out in the sun for 4 hours.

6:20 I'm autistic and have been rather tall for my age for most of my life. My mother encouraged me to not get physically emotive or have tantrums as that could scare others if "someone big and tall" did that. I am now commonly described as a "gentle giant", am terrified of "causing a scene" by standing up to BS in public and am hyper-aware of myself and what I'm doing in public, which contributes to my pre-existing social anxiety. Oh, and I got sexually assaulted in school by a classmate, probably because I was seen as an "easy target". I would say "Thanks mum", but she's dead, so I'll just say it to her tombstone instead.

[@adrienstarfaer]

Well, the language of flowers does have ways to be deeply rude and offensive, so might I suggest researching flower language to leave a subtle, "F*ck you," at her grave? Assuming she was that bad in other aspects.
