When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

My mother suggested it, which was my first warning, but I was already planning on doing it anyway so I thought it would be fine.

When I tell you that reheating wax strips you used to make it last longer smells SO. BAD. I genuinely thought I was gonna pass out from nausea at one point. I don't know if it's the dead skin or the hair but it's so bad. Please just. Don't reheat hairy wax.

I'm gonna go frow up now

At least I can autism cricket legs for about a month without stubble hell

*grabs both your hands in gesture of sincerity*

Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.

Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.

We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.

Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.

"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?

Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?

🔹 Saying that it's okay to write or read about dark and taboo topics but only when they're portrayed in a certain way is still censorship.

🔹 Wanting to ban or forbid media that you believe portrays a negative topic in a positive light, by glorifying, romanticizing, or fetishizing it is still censorship.

🔹 There is no objective metric to decide if a story is portraying a negative topic the 'right' way.

🔹 Just because a piece of fiction doesn't explicitly condemn or portray an evil action in a bad light in the text doesn't mean the author thinks its good or is trying to persuade the audience that it is good.

🔹 Survivors of trauma will not always write fiction about their trauma in a way that seems 'right' or 'normal' to you.

🔹 Banning fiction because it portrays dark, taboo topics in a way you consider gross or disgusting is still censorship.

Broke but want books?

I got you.

The Internet Archive is currently facing a lawsuit over their making books more accessible so I highly recommend downloading book PDFs as and when you decide you want to read them. Better to have and not need them than need and not have them.

Also, store them on a USB drive. Not only does that mean you'll always have a copy of them, but it saves your computer from dedicating all the storage to it

Anyway here's my order of investigation when there is a book I want to read

And then, of course, always check your local library. They may even have an ebook borrowing system

I've yet to test it but if the book you want is at Barnes & Noble, I don't see why you can't just go hang out there and read it. Obviously you'd probably have to hide a bit or go while there's an event so there's a lot of people, but I've just sat in there reading before so it's probably fine.

RESPECT ALL ASPEC IDENTITIES EVEN IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEM

"Love's language has many dialects. Cuddling close, holding hands, and sharing quiet moments - these are the whispers that speak volumes about the strength of our bond."

It's important that your Asexual partner knows that you can do these things without the fear that it will lead to more. When your partner can relax those fears, then they can fully enjoy these types of intimacy without the anxiety typically involved. 💜

I dunno, sometimes it feels much better to have a neutral word to describe a neutral reality rather than being defaulted to "gay" at best and "frigid bitch" at worst
