Everyone be careful of Mohit Kashiva @mkashiva. He is requesting nudes in exchange for money and then not paying and refusing to delete them. He is also sending out nudes of other girls. His Kik is “angel in disguise”. Stay safe girls!

As an autistic woman who is photosensitive (sensitive to light) it is really painful to look at stuff for “Red Instead”. Red is such a bright color and when i look at it, it honestly causes me physical pain. Pastel reds I can do or dark reds but everyone seems to want to use neon red which honestly can be very painful to look at for some autistic people such as myself. I mean it seriously feels like someone is stabbing my eyeballs when i see something that bright. Some autistics may like those bright colors but not everyone does and some of us experience pain when looking at it. Seeing shades of red that aren’t neon would honestly be very nice. Or hell we could take back the blue spectrum of colors from those assholes at Autism Speaks. Or even use an array of colors.

I’m not saying you can’t enjoy neon red, I’m just saying that I personally find it literally painful to look at so please be understanding if someone can’t look at you if you’re wearing a bright shirt or wants to use a different shade for “Red Instead”. I just never see this addressed by anyone.

One thing you’ll notice about my stim blog is it is a lot of dark colors and pastel colors with few exceptions. This is also why some pride flags literally hurt my eyes so I find alternatives that are dimmer or darker in color.

Thank you for reading. We gotta stick together guys.

Warning: This is a rant!

I’m reading this romance book and it’s bad. Granted, I’m only 16% into the book, but I’m truly hating it. The book is bad in that hard to explain way, where the writing is bad. It’s not the grammar or editing, but just the writing. I’m not going to say the name of the book, but here’s a screenshot of 1 page of it from my iPhone kindle. But first context.

The main character is 18 and she dreams of independence and wants to go to college with dreams of a Ph.D. But when she’s sold off by her father into an arranged marriage, she just accepts it. Her father is a U.S. senator (the most believable part of the whole situation) and he’s marrying her off to a rich family so that family can back his next campaign. Her new fiancé is only 26, and he’s handsome, so that’s fine. Her father could have married her off to an old bad of dirt, but he didn’t. She met her fiancé at her 18th birthday party, he was her birthday present (no joke). The scene below happens 3 months later, at their second meeting — their wedding day.

Now, I often find romance novels to be problematic because of all the genres out there, romance seems to be one where many bad writers make their names. The main character is compelling and her story has a lot of potential, but I have to keep rolling my eyes to the back of my head because of how badly this writer keeps butchering the story and characters. It’s bad.

I’ve read really well done books about dominant men and the women who love them. Books where the idea of, “you married him and so he owns your body now,” runs rampant. I’ve accepted a lot of sketchy writing from authors in the name of a good and well told story, but this one is just so bad. My whole mantra while reading this has been, “she’s only 18, she probably doesn’t know any better.” ‍♀️

It seems to me that this author only knew what they wanted these characters to do, not how to actually write them doing it. So, things are just thrown at the reader and we’re expected to process it and it’s problematic implications and move on. The section that I highlighted above, that statement is incredibly sexist and demeaning to women, but it is said in the book with no modifiers and no push back. How can someone who just wants to break free from her father and go college just unquestionably accept that ridiculous advice. And even worst, this is the 1st book in a trilogy and I, for the life of me, don’t know how that is possible.

This is where I’m always unsure what to do next with these types of books. Do I keep reading in hopes that it gets better? Or do I just stop the torture, but never know what happened to these characters? This is the dilemma that these types of books place readers in. At it’s the dilemma they place me in, and it really sucks.

Friendly reminder to not keep rodents in glass tanks!! They have very little airflow and most rodents have incredibly sensitive respiratory systems. The likelihood of a respiratory infection occurring in your furry lil friend is increased tenfold when they’re housed in a tank!!
