When I talk about visible autism on my blog, I’m usually not talking about those who are clocked as quirky and weird. Although that’s completely valid, I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about those of us who are VISIBLY autistic. Those of us who are clocked as those autistics. Who are clocked immediately as having something wrong with them. Those of us who are named as slurs. Who are yelled at. Who are attacked. Who are glared at, pointed at, stared at, pitied. Those of us who are automatically assumed to be with caregivers. Those of us you see talked about in medical journals and on the news as “inspiration” when we graduate or get invited to prom.

This is us. This is who we’re marked as. This is who we are seen as. We are seen as less than, as animals, as objects, as “inspirations”. When we accomplish something it’s usually not seen as our accomplishments but as the accomplishments of our caregivers and support staff.

I get so mad when someone comes onto my blog, MY blog. Me. A visibly autistic, nonverbal person, and doesn’t even look at my tags or pinned post and says “Omg me too, I’m seen as quirky and awkward, I’m visibly autistic 🥰” and like…go you but I’m not talking about you. I’m not talking about “low masking”. Im talking about LOW masking. No masking or very very low masking. Those of us who are immediately seen as autistic.

And it’s frustrating. It’s frustrating when people come into my blog and say this because, you DON’T get it. You just don’t. You don’t get what my life is like, what my experiences are. What it’s like to be LOW masking or no masking. You don’t get that. And yet you try and squeeze yourself in. And that hurts. It hurts to have people who won’t ever understand this squeeze themselves in. Stop doing this.

Because I circulated a call to action about it here that got some traction: to those of you who contacted Maine legislators when it counted, thank you— it worked. Maine just passed sanctuary-state-level protection for trans rights.

2 different recipes ive had bookmarked fucking CHANGED and im so grateful for waybackmachine. One of them the title is the same but the ratios and preamble are different. Another one is an entirely different recipe with the same main ingredient?? That doesn't happen with paper cookbooks.

i'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but sometimes i hear women talking about their diets and it takes all i have to not be like "this is not normal. you have an eating disorder and you are in a cult."

I like the anime but trigger DOES make characters’ bodies look different in ways I don’t appreciate, like making Falin (who is on the thin end of “average” weight) look like she’s had a rib removed, and giving Namari and Senshi more defined muscles when both of them have the kind of build that’s both muscular AND fat and thus shouldn’t look super defined unless they’re really flexing.

while i was definitely gonna go on hormones no matter what the one thing that fully convinced me was seeing a tweet that was like "youre already on hormones and you hate it" like that really unlocked something in me

I queued this???? This is from last week. Im mostly better but still pretty scraped and bruised because of my swag healing abilites

I kept saying I feel like I fell down stairs, and im realizing thats more accurate than I realized. I have scabs up my legs and on my arms from repeatedly throwing myself to the ground to try to see and follow Toast

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.
