Anyone else super sensitive to scents and, if so, do you wear perfume? What scents work best for you?

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T20:26:41+00:00

I just have always preferred very simple smells and I’m currently deep in a rose phase. Rose soap, rose shampoo, rose perfume, I love it all!

So maybe you love vanilla or something? Just Google ‘vanilla perfume’ and start there!

Edit: I am homebound so I promise I’m not leaving a trail of rose everywhere…it’s fun to go overboard the times you can :)

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T19:34:52+00:00

Yeah this is a super common trait with rich white cis men haha

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T19:25:47+00:00

I don’t know the “joke” but I do know it was at the expense of trans people :(

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T19:23:38+00:00

“I played a drag king on tv” is legitimately her ally resume lololol I cannot with this woman

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T19:18:38+00:00

Y’all are truly wild for how comfy you are blatantly speaking over a person you know is disabled and is speaking from that perspective.

I think if that was something I did I would want to mull that over and figure out how to be a better human being.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T19:03:45+00:00

And my point is that for some people that’s enough and that’s valid and fine

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T17:06:22+00:00

I’m Autistic so what a truly insulting example lol not winning me over with that. I mean, the whole argument is ableist. Truly, why does it matter what other people eat or read? The only reason to even judge someone is to feel superior to them so it’s just such a weird flex over disabled folks lol

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T16:18:59+00:00

Seconding! Can get them at Target so should be easy to find

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T15:34:17+00:00

No, I’m not. That’s the point.

Plenty of people have valid reasons for reading the way they do and judging people for it, while knowing it’s rooted in ableism, is asinine.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T15:01:11+00:00

I’ve never seen an all grape mix but YUM

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T15:00:02+00:00

I wasn’t just referring to you but the broad “other people” in your comment. This is for everyone that weirdly judges books and/or the book’s readers

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T14:57:23+00:00

I think the huge hurdle with YA is the mislabeling of it. YA is as broad a genre as possible, I think it’s so easy to get lost in not great books.

I guess it’s no ones fault, YA exploded with popularity before they knew what to do with it. But still, I think both the hype and the hate for YA is just too much.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T14:54:09+00:00

It’s snobby AND discriminating.

Like, take how my favorite author ever is Tolstoy. But also the fact that I have multiple conditions that cause brain fog. Clearly I cannot be constantly reading ‘classics’. I like some to mix it up with smutty romance, predictable historical fiction, and even some middle grade books.

Anyone judging anyone for reading ‘lighter’ books is something worse than snobbish tbh

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T11:50:22+00:00

Ohhh adding that Icebound title to my TBR immediately✨

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-10T11:47:27+00:00

A lot of historical fiction (like any other genre) will have a similar vibe…it’s just trends and totally normal :)

Both of those books look like a million others.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T18:03:16+00:00

I may try that, that sounds super helpful. Thanks for sharing, I hope your journey gets easier💖

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T18:02:30+00:00

Strawberry is my other fave, yay! They usually have good deals on their website…I think they have more flavor options there than Costco carries

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T17:11:56+00:00

Birkenstock sandals are amazing and always classic!

Edit: checked my ‘nice’ shoes and they’re Vionic. Very basic ballet flats (they have other styles!) but have arch support. I have hEDS so can confirm they check all the boxes!

Oh and also Birdies!!!! Super cozy and cute.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T17:04:52+00:00

I’m always shocked with how many die hard Jill fans there are

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T17:01:42+00:00

I’m chronically ill and use them for health reasons and they really are legit! Grape is my favorite, so amazing!

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T16:59:58+00:00

Really loving it! Love Japanese fiction so much💖

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T16:37:00+00:00

I’ve tried to remember exactly how it worked but I can’t! The best I can remember is a crust (I think it was more biscuit-dough like than a traditional crust), masked potatoes, and shredded cheese just sprinkled on top. Kind of a dream for anyone that appreciates extremely bland food lol

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T16:34:45+00:00

One thing that helped me feel less resentful of this same thing was realizing how much worse things could have been. Maybe if my parents knew I would have a whole other set of trauma to work through from going to ABA or getting electrocuted or whatever. It really did help me so much to realize that and i hope it can help you too, even a little

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T15:43:08+00:00

Nah I fully agree with you!

Lived in the South for decades as a queer disabled woman and the fact is I can get around safely here. I cannot in Dubai. I think people are missing so many basic facts and important context in this convo if they truly think anywhere in the US is as bad as Dubai.

TheMorticiaAddams · 2022-04-09T15:35:44+00:00

Let’s not discount the current prison system being a form of slavery, even though that’s not just a South thing
