hold on. Was suck him good and hard through his jorts supposed to conjour the image of someone who has an unzipped fly because this entire time I've been imagining someone slurping on wet denim

#i was also picturing wet denim

like i'm still mad actually do y'all realise "my perception of social situations is correct, and therefore other people either think the way i do, or think the way i do but are doing incomprehensible things for no reason because we both think the same because this is how people's inner spheres work" is like Autism 101

like that's the "struggling with theory of mind" bit that's just it directly copy and paste no alterations all natural fresh off the vine

meanwhile i'm over here having my life ruined because if something interrupts the Sequence of Steps™ i spent all afternoon trying to make my brain parse, like an object not being where i expect it to be, i'll literally pace in circles in the kitchen for thirty minutes with no memory of what i was doing at all and it affects my ability to function in day to day life in a major way

but go on tell me i'm fuckin faking because i think social etiquette is real and not just arbitrary bullshit meant to fuck with nd people

#actually fuck it the tags go in the post

There's this perception on here among neurodivergent people that neurotypical social behaviour is all fake and arbitrary. That it's a cruel, baseless game played to "weed out" ND people or to cause pain and complicate things on purpose.

This is wrong. All of those social rules and nuances ARE communication. Sorry if this is rude but it's not the NTs' fault if things don't gel- the gap goes both ways. Just because communication doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it's random or purposeless. Remember this post?

Every interaction in an NT conversation has purpose, and communicates something, and I don't understand why nobody ever explains this to ND people. There's information on basic stuff like facial expressions, but never what any of it actually means.

Small talk about the weather isn't about the weather. It's about how nice it is to be around the people you're talking to, or feeling out their understanding of the world, or just saying that you're both present and people and you're being people together. It's not literal. The words are, but the broad scope isn't.

A conversation is not just an exchange of words, it's an exchange of acknowledgement, attention, and emotional understanding. Of course it confuses people when their part in that exchange is met with flat affect or unembelished words. It's like looking in a mirror and not seeing your reflection.

#hey don't read the notes on this they're bad #also as an nd person it gets REAL fuckin frustrating to have my entire existence boiled down to 'can't read social cues and has THIS set of #personality traits related to THIS one symptom (which is of course the Correct(MT) way of experiencing the world #as opposed to the incorrect way that other people who are not me experience #which is and i mean this sincerely A Very Autistic Thing To Say #when 1. there's no such thing as a monolith nd or nt personality and never will be ffs #and 2. gets me a lot of smug fuckers arguing that because actually i can and do navigate social situations irl i must be faking #and don't have real actual tangible shit i struggle with as a result of being nd #because of this one fucking caveat #that 'actually anyone having a conversation is being mean to you for no reason' #love being witch-hunted out of the community for arguing talking to people is nice actually good great love we're doing this

The U.S. will use its veto power against a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations during a vote at the Security Council expected to take place Thursday evening. Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, described as premature an effort by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to gain member status at the U.N. He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership, with unresolved questions over the governance of the Gaza Strip, where Israel is in a war to defeat and eliminate the controlling power, Hamas. “And for that reason, the United States is voting no on this proposed Security Council resolution,” Patel said.

Earlier it was revealed that the United States was secretly pressuring other members of the Security Council to shoot down a Palestinian state membership so the US wouldn't have to use its veto as that would lead to a wave of local and international criticism for Joe Biden.

Buckle up, European and Foreigner Tumblypoos, because I'm about to learn you a thing about AMERICA.

You see these delectable motherflippers? These are called STATES. You stupid foreigners might not be able to wrap your head around this, but basically they're administrative subdivisions of the country.

And here's the thing: They are totally heckin' different from each other! For instance, New York:

Looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Kansas:

And they both look TOTALLY different from California!

So before you make fun of an American for not knowing where tiny third-world countries like "Check Republic" or "South Korea" are, maybe think about how much we have to learn about the unique regional differences in our OWN country. Maybe you should think about AMERICA more.

Ik there are usamericans following me I have a question for yall , what the fuck do y'all even eat . Like . The typical huge greasy American breakfast has to be an exaggeration but I really can't think of meals that don't contain stuff exclusive to my country and do you guys even have that honestly

#i've gotten to do a big breakfast like you see in photos like twice ever #once was at a restaurant #i rarely have time for breakfast but when i do it's just an egg or some sort of grain (cereal oats grits rice whatever) #one time i stayed at a house for a while that actually did those huge breakfasts all the time and it was surreal #i felt like i was being filmed for a movie
