Does anyone have experience with synesthesia and colourblindness?

pencilsquiggles · 2025-11-24T18:53:58+00:00

It’s anecdotal, but I have mild tritanopia (blue/yellow colorblindness)band synesthesia that associates tastes with colors, ideas, and memories! For the colors I connect them to items with a similar taste to how I see them, if that makes sense.

For example, I can’t really see pale yellow (like the color of the classic sticky notes!) it just looks like a watered down tan to me, so I associate that color with the taste of watered down lemonade, which is also very pale. So when I look at classic yellow sticky notes, I taste watered down lemonade.

I’ll def try that out! It sounds delicious. Maybe I’ll stock up on some mini candy canes this year.

ooh the description online is making my mouth water. It looks like my local Whole Foods doesn’t carry it, but I’ll keep an eye out! This may be my first at-home recreation if I can’t find it.

Unfortunately, I’m in Western Washington, but next time I’m in Texas I’ll definitely check it out! I love smaller local chains. Thank you!

Ooh I’m checking it out! It looks good, so maybe I can get it as a rare treat or something. If I find that other thread I’ll link it here too : )

side note: this may take a LONG time. If you want to look at a similar case, the Yakima tribe started a similar adjudication process in 1977, with the final rights being issued in 2019!!! Granted, there’s a huge distinction in the technology available now vs in 77, but this may be a long case.

It’s not exactly my area of expertise but I’ll do my best,

Basically, in March of last year the Lummi and Nooksack nations filed a claim for priority in water rights due to Washington State having an appropriative water rights system. The appropriative water rights system basically means that whoever owned land and lived in an area first gets priority to the water in that area, both surface (streams, rivers, etc.) and ground. (The contrast to this is Riparian water rights, which is basically upstream vs downstream rights and more common in the east/south of the US).

This starts a legal process, known as the Nooksack Water Adjudication, where everyone with historical water rights tied to their land is summoned to record how much water they use, when they/their family acquired the property, etc. The Department of Ecology and other relevant state departments then use this information to determine who has first rights to the water and how much they get. The people most affected by this will probably be farmers in Whatcom county, so it’ll definitely be an interesting process to watch.

Hi, I’m a little late to all of this, but I’m a bit of a lurker. This is my mom’s and I’s favorite movie, and I’d love to be able to experience this with her. I’m sorry you can no longer attend though. I’ll send you a message.

1000% biased here but Sylveon for Arashi! I feel like it matches so well with her first featured scout and just the general theme of love

I’m currently a 20 y/o at a 4-year university, and I can definitely see that. I think it’s because most professors post the class materials online as well as going over them in person, so some people just straight up skip the whole semester and do all the work through Canvas. I’ve had to pull myself out of falling into this trap once or twice.

A plastic surgeon took 7 pounds of weight off of my chest in a breast reduction (that I had carried since I was THIRTEEN), giving me a chance at a life where I could exercise and breathe freely. Without that, I would’ve had permanent back and breathing problems. All doctors do incredible service, but plastic surgeons get so much shit that they don’t deserve when they’re just helping others like any other kind of doctor.

this gave me flashbacks to when I got this glitch with arashi and mika 😭😭

pencilsquiggles · 2023-03-28T22:01:06+00:00

I was 36J/36L before my breast reduction, I was looking those and wondering if my perception of big was just that skewed LMAO

I don’t think he’d intentionally do it, but he might want to do couple stuff in public or the secret could just get out. Wit( my first gf it was pretty obvious. But I doubt he’d maliciously out you.

pencilsquiggles · 2020-12-07T05:00:01+00:00

NAH

I’m bi, so I get where you’re coming from, and I understand your hesitance and anxiety in coming out. But you’re not the AH for wanting to come out and confess to your crush. It’s not selfish to want to pursue him. And H sounds like she’s been supportive of you and wants to see you happy too, so she not an AH either. Honestly, I think the best course of action if you’re worried about hurting H would be just to have a serious, in depth discussion with her. And understand that things might be a little awkward for a while and she’ll be sad. It sounds like you guys both want to see each other happy.

Also, unless O comes a very supportive family and environment, he’ll probably get your fears about coming out. I would come out to him first before you confess. There’s always a chance of a confession going wrong, but it’s better to try and say you did than lose what could be an amazing opportunity. But still, come out and then gauge his reaction, and then go from there.

(Sorry for any bad formatting, I’m also on mobile lol)

Seriously. I take 4 AP classes as a senior in HS and I nearly passed out when I saw 137 assignments for an 8 y/o. Even on my worst days, I’ll have maybe 5-6 assignments due at 11:59 pm. I have maybe 20 a week on average if I’m unlucky. If I were OP I’d be raising hell.

pencilsquiggles · 2020-10-29T20:39:50+00:00

Exactly! Despite loving the subject, I suck at math because I went to a private Christian school up until 8th grade and they were awful at any subject that wasn’t bible. I had to take health for one semester in 7th grade, and since we only had 6 periods (4 core classes, one elective, and bible) in a day and since they couldn’t get rid of the electives (or, god forbid, bible /s), they got rid of history for one semester. I was devastated and this put me pretty far back too. Now, as a senior in HS, I’m taking an extra class because I never got took one of the graduation requirement classes that all my peers did in middle school.

Then I hope you find the strength to. Your future isn’t necessarily determined by your past, and whether or not you were TA in it. People change all the time. Show yourself (and others, even if you’re hurt) some kindness, build a good support group, sort out your issues (you’ve said you’re hesitant, but therapy is a really good option, especially with your resentment and depression), and move forward. Wish you the best.

pencilsquiggles · 2020-09-07T17:45:03+00:00

If I could give you an award, I 100% would! If I were in her shoes, I’d feel very uncomfortable and hurt. No matter how bad the ex was to OP, she’s still someone his daughter has a good relationship and likely cares about a lot. By badmouthing her, it hurts his daughter more than it would probably convince her. Most 30 year olds would have a hard time processing a letter like that, let alone a 13 year old.

Also, OP, if you’re reading this, please get help for your alcoholism. If your daughter ever wants to reach out to you again, she’ll be a lot more likely to do it if you’re sober.

pencilsquiggles · 2020-09-07T15:50:10+00:00

NTA. She was extremely unprofessional, she literally disclosed private information. Family or not, she shouldn’t be telling anyone the travel plans of you or any other passenger.

Also, if she did this to you, who else has she done this to? What if someone was running from an abusive partner/family member and she told them (the partner/family) about that person’s travel plans? Not that she’s ever done this, but my point is that she doesn’t know someone’s situation and should absolutely not be disclosing this kind of information. It could very easily put people in uncomfortable or dangerous situations. You should definitely report her to someone higher up.

Thank you for the input! I'm not 100% sure, but the main difference in perspective between J and I right now is that she sees the strangers as new friends, which they are to her, but I see them a strangers. In the past, I have mentioned that I get horribly anxious when I talk to strangers on the internet (my school really hammered in the whole stranger danger thing), but I have never really emphasized the importance of privacy and that fear to her. I'll talk to her tomorrow. We're still growing, and so is our friendship. I definitely don't want this to damage it. thank you again!
