nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well

enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.

It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar

Tumblr is giving us a lot of different dashes but the thing is no one wants "for you" so what I propose instead is you give me the ability to make mini-dashes with specific subsets of people I follow. Let me follow 300 people but then sort them into category. Let me have one dash for all my aesthetic stuff, another for news, another for my weird feral friends. Am I the only one who wants this? Maybe. Give it to me anyway.

the original 2015 graphic novel is more insane than the movie cuz like

exhibit A: nimona expresses liking pizza and ballister at first refuses her asking to order in because the delivery to his mindfuck nowhere lair is expensive . later, when an accident happens and nimona gets upset, he remembers that she liked pizza and offers to order in . if that isnt dad behavior idk what that is (im fatherless)

exhibit B :

they went to a science expo slash carnival . they went undercover . a stand seller mistakes them for a father & son and they just... went with it . he carries nimona around . what the fuck man

exhibit C :

ballister freaks the FUCK out when she gets injured way more than he did in the movie and then proceeds to play board games with her to cheer her up

oops hit tumblr picture limit i will continue my dad ballister propaganda in the reblogs

[soupette]

absolutely HILARIOUS that ballister boldheart the guy who literally just had a limb accidentally amputated got really Squeamish about One arrow that struck nimona. god he's such a Dad.

to all c!tommyinnit kin or fictives out there, i’m sorry. i’m sorry i didn’t listen and followed protocol more strictly than i did follow your desires. you were like a son to me. i should’ve treated you like such; not just considered you one, but treated you like one. you deserved a much better warden to protect you those nights.

and the same goes for any c!ponks. you all mean a lot to me, and i’m sorry i couldn’t give you the proper care i wanted/promised.

i’m not looking for forgiveness (though i’d be more than happy to receive some), just for acknowledgment you heard me out on this. thank you for reading, once again, i’m sorry.

Hey, Can I Have A Ride Home? (I got tipsy at the party, and now I can feel my heartbeat in my ears)

Standing in the corner of a-to-small living room,

Crowded together with to many people I don’t know,

And I can feel my heartbeat in my lungs.

Holding a cup of who knows what, taking a sip when my throat get tight.

But now I can taste it,

Heavy on the back of my tongue,

And I can feel my heartbeat in my throat.

The lights are blinding,

Starry beams covering the room with their glow,

Covering everyone’s bodies with the rainbow, but all I want is to leave,

And I can feel my heart beat behind my eyes.

The bathroom is locked, and I can’t get upstairs,

So I stay in my corner,

Praying,

Hoping,

Wishing,

Someone would take me out of here,

And I can feel my heartbeat in shaking hands.

My phone buzzes, lights my face with a new color,

And your contact shines through the haze.

I sigh, relieved, and squeeze out the back, handing the cup to a random stranger I pass,

And I can feel my heart m in my legs as I hop the fence.

I see your car waiting,

your face the best thing I’ve ever seen,

And make my way over.

Tripping over my own two feet in the dark.

And I can feel my heart in my stomach, churning with acid.

I get in, the shutting door closing off the blaring music,

and you watch me,

and I know you’re disappointed,

And I can feel my head in my ears, the only sound other than the rumbling engine.

But you smile at me and start driving,

And I know I’m screwed later,

But for now, I’m happy to sit in peaceful silence,

And I can feel my heart in my chest, not racing, not pounding, but resting, and I let myself drift as we drive home.

i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.

what’s really funny in Knives Out is that the world greatest detective Benoit Blanc admits to being shit at mystery games and we see him immediately get thrown out of the airlock in his Among Us game because his mates have sussed him out

Autism Self-Diagnosis Masterpost

Questioning if you might be autistic? Have you always known you were different and are trying to figure out why? Is professional diagnosis not an option for you (cost/stigma/bias/etc)? Then here is a list of resources to help you figure out if you are autistic.

This post is broken up into categories of resources based on subject matter. Some links may contain ableism and medicalized language but if they do they also have useful information which is why they were posted. 

Self-diagnosis is a long process of reading and researching and self-reflection. A decision should not be made overnight. However, it is completely valid to self-diagnose as autistic (see the second to last section for more on this). If you are self-diagnosing, read as much as you can written by autistic people. Read their blogs and their tumblrs. Read about the autistic experience. Talk to autistic people if you are able to. 

If you have questions, feel free to submit them to @autism-asks, a blog dedicated to answering questions about autism.

so ya wanna know about autism: masterpost

I give this google doc link out to individuals a lot, and realized it might be useful for a lot of people if i shared it more widely. It’s a masterpost of a whole bunch of Autistic Stuff – here’s the link to the actual doc, but i’ll also post it all here on tumblr (under a readmore after the table of contents).

(edit: if the hyperlinks aren’t working for you, here’s the google doc url that you can copy and paste into an internet browser to access everything: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16BqhRv4IlZ6KcElGAEZOx8sFYwRs4W1jF-ddY_XKYnE/edit?usp=sharing )

Please spread it around (including sharing the google doc link outside of tumblr wherever you want). Feel free to comment with more resources, tumblr posts, articles, etc. that you find helpful! And if any links are broken, let me know.

It can be a major challenge for adult autistic folks to find content for us and by us, because so much “official” content is 1) ableist and harmful and 2) geared towards parents of autistic children. So I’ve compiled just about every resource I’ve got that discusses autism by and for #actuallyautistic folks.
