I turned the very long thread I wrote on here yesterday into a blog: Tides of Autistic Burnout and Being Monotropic. autisticrealms.com/tides-of-bur...

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

Something I wrote back in April (just after BBC’s The Assembly aired with Michael Sheen) about autistic people on screen melting people’s hearts. And how it’s all a bit nuts. medium.com/@elsalwillia...

This is the violence that has already begun.

i get a sick thrill from knowing that linkedin has a bunch of notifications it's desperate to show me, and that i'm denying them that.

Who wouldn’t want to be known for creating revolutionary art and cultural change during tough times? #ohfuckitshappening #autisticartist #artist #substack #writing

Solved the Friday crossword and I only had to google like four answers

Y’all need to understand that these people saying “oh he’s just awkward” and “it’s just a Roman salute wdym??” they KNOW it was some Nazi shit. They’re just trolling us and maintaining some Charade of Discourse. Elon Musk has openly supported Nazi causes. He really did what we all saw him do

thinkingautismguide.com/2024/12/how-... One for reflection, on the multi $billion ABA industry. It functions without external evidence of autism 'success', yet continues to barge useful professional groups (e.g. speech therapists working in neurodivergent-friendly ways) out of its way.

Making Bernie Sanders impossible made Luigi Mangione inevitable.

using AI to make weird art of Trump and Elon is just as cringe as when they did it for Biden and Kamala. stop wasting water on stupid shit lol

Let me blunt: people are cheering Brian Thompson's assassination because megacorp CEOs have as much or more influence over people's daily lives as their elected representatives, but neither their terms nor their scope for evil are meaningfully curtailed by a democracy they own in all but name.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

An autistic reflection - “When I was a kid, I loved to flap my hands… It felt natural. It felt good. It was a kinetic experience that definitely did not create an annoying sound for my teacher, my parents, or my fellow classmates. And it looked really cool.” #autisticartist #writing #substack

Deep Space Nine has been my comfort watch this week… can’t decide what kind of indicator that is considering an authoritarian U.S. government seems inevitable, but it sure is a damn good show #startrek #fuckthecardassians #starfleetstrong

This is a very easy thing to dunk on but it's an ideology that is essentially manifest destiny 2.0. And it's easy to joke that he has brain worms but he still has a pretty significant following and he was fairly influential in journalism for some time. I don't think it's funny, I think it's scary

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2024?

Imagining the Matrix pill scene if Neo bent down and ate the red pill directly out of Morpheus’ hand like a petting zoo goat and Morpheus completely froze weirded out

Do not touch. Speak softly. Tread lightly on this hallowed ground. I have stood here all the hours since you were planted and kept watch. Warned away rook and vixen and the black wolf that hunts you still. I cannot stop worm and beetle, so do not touch and speak softly, or I will #shatter. #whistpr
