It's all a struggle right now.

Tiny update because I don't want everyone thinking that I was super active for like a week and a half and then gave up. I'm still thinking about DW and fandom basically every day (and trying not to beat myself up for every day I don't post/comment/interact), but these last couple weeks have been extra tough. Work is stressful, but that's honestly a good stress right now because it's coming from an increase in responsibility that I wanted and more freedom to be creative. The problem is that when work stress ends for the day, state-of-the-world stress is still right there and waiting to shank me in the kidney. 

I'm neurodivergent. Part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Non-Christian. Every person in my social circle fits one or more of those descriptors. I have trans friends and trans family. And we all live in the US. 

So, I'm gonna need a little grace. I'm no longer just recalibrating my day-to-day life to account for additional work responsibilities. I have to recalibrate my entire life for survival. I have to figure out how to cling to my sanity. I'm trying to figure out how to be kind to myself as I make all this adjustments for myself to be able to move forward.

And I am 100% going to pop a blood vessel if I have to tell one more person that being autistic doesn't make you throw a nazi salute. Being a nazi does.
