Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

#autism #neurodivergent #adhd #fun facts #GOD I’m such an idiot #anyways now a 10 year old is out there looking up swear words online and it’s all my fault :( #I got so excited by the fact that I knew a fun fact #that I didn’t stop to think that maybe not everyone knows that fun fact for a reason :( #it’s like explaining how to successfully bury a body at a book club #or explaining the dangers of Scientology to your sister’s boyfriend the first time you meet him #or debating gay sex positions with your best friend in front of your mom #no matter how much I wish to be a beacon of knowledge in this world #sometimes there are things others just don’t want to know #and consciously that’s valid but the autism ? I does not care

Little things adults and older people can do to help younger people and children feel included, safe, and respected as an equal individual:

Ask before touching the young person - even for hugs. Ask before you take pictures of them, and let them see photographs of them before they are printed or sent to others (even family).

Apologize when you are wrong

Ask for a young persons thoughts on a subject, then engage with them after they have spoken

Demonstrate behaviour you want to see from them (see: apologizing). Say "excuse me," say "thank you," say "please" to them

Validate their feelings, even if they don't know how to express them just yet

Remember that this is the first time they've been alive, and that you've had way longer to "figure it out"

These are some things I wish other adults remembered when engaging with young folks. We so often forget what childhood felt like and how unfair it all was because we were often awarded freedoms as adults that we never had as children. These kids are equal to adults, and they deserve the same courtesy, respect, kindness, and understanding we give to other adults.

#youth liberation #the first point was something i had SO many struggles with #i would have breakdowns because i was scared my picture would be taken without my consent then shared to others #i took a picture of my younger brother with his permission and i let him decide if i could send it to our dad... #...because it felt so scary when people did that without my consent and i would NEVER want him to ever EVER feel that because of ME... #...and it turned out that we had a really positive engagement and he was happy and excited with the picture! because he was informed! #and i think that made him really happy and brought us closer because he felt safe because he knew he was respected as a human being #that stays in my head a lot. i want him to never ever feel how i did as a child. he is such a cool kid :)

i'm unwell!!! because in stede's eyes, ned low was right!! ned says "he [ed] only likes you because of your bumbling amateur status" and calls stede blackbeard's "pet" just like izzy did in series 1

so stede steps up as a captain, kills the man who harmed his crew, and suddenly, for once in stede's life, he isn't a joke! the gentleman pirate is taken seriously and welcomed into the pirate community!

and what happens less than 24 hours later? ed calls their night together a mistake, AND LEAVES.

yes, obviously the situation is more nuanced, and these old men are once again struggling to communicate, but i 100% understand why stede went a bit of the rails at the end of episode 7. stede's been so focused on trying to help ed, that he's completely ignored his own ongoing identity crisis and trauma, and after the incident at the academy in series 1, this meltdown was long overdue.

#yes he's being a bitch but it's IN CHARACTER #just because you don't agree with his actions doesn't make it bad writing guys c'mon it's good omens 2 all over again #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #stede bonnet #ed x stede #rhys darby #i'm a stede apologist first and a homie second i'm sorry lmaoo #i got so excited when i saw the flashback to him as a little boy bc finally!!! stede's trauma gets to be addressed!!! #edit: HE SLEPT WITH ED TO TAKE THE POISON AND TURN IT INTO POSITIVITY WAIT A SECOND WAIT A FUCKING SECOND

Y’all! The city council for Kansas Missouri just introduced a resolution to make the city a sanctuary city for transgender people! This is fantastic because this could provide legal protection for trans people in Missouri who are receiving trans healthcare!

I know it’s not helpful for the trans people aren’t located near Kansas City, but this will still help protect a lot of transgender people and that’s an amazing first step!

#lgbt l #transgender #good trans news #trans Pride #positive #good news #I’m at an airport so I can’t make a video about it rn #but I’m excited and wanted to share #this is where I was born and I’m happy to see them fighting for us #even if I don’t live there anymore #kcmo will always have my heart

Since coming out to my family and friends as genderqueer, my dog’s reaction has still be my favourite (no I’m not joking).

Me and my mam were in the kitchen and I was gonna be feeding the dog and my mam kept saying “go see *insert new name*. They’re gonna give you your food, go see!” And obviously the poor thing was very confused, looking between us like “idk who this *new name* is so I dunno who I’m meant to go to.” I then called on him and I kid you not, he realised who my mam was talking about and his little face just lit up. He became so happy, ran and jumped up at me. I can’t explain it, there was just this quick moment of understanding on his face before he became really excited

I’m lucky that so far I haven’t had any transphobia from my family but our dog has definitely been the most supportive😂

#yes I’m aware that excitement was probably from the food but still it was so cute😂 #trans #nonbinary #genderqueer #transmasc #trans positivity #nonbinary positivity #genderfluid #agender #librafluid #alexigender

Hi hi! For the spotify wrapped art game, can I suggest akataka with 56?

oh, i think i was doomed before i began

56 is special girl by dodie. a particular fave, so im glad u chose mishanks for it since they've been on my mind. :')

wrapped 2023 game

#wrapped 2023 #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red hair shanks #one piece #one piece fanart #got carried away with this one pals lol #i was just so excited about it :')) #btw if it's not clear: they were dueling and then shanks just dropped his guard to kiss mihawk cuz he couldnt take it anymore #and mihawk (probably freaking out) kicked him to get him out of his personal space lol #btw i positioned this as shanks pov but an argument could be made that the song in general is more of a mihawk thing #depending on how u write his backstory #might revisit this tmr and remove the white square lmao im always more ham-fisted with my symbolism when im tired

Hey fellow writers, you know that feeling when you write a thing that you know people are going to scream at you for when they read it? You know how you giggle to yourself like a gleeful supervillain when you finish typing it, how you cackle as you picture the pending pain and outrage of your readers?

Here’s to that feeling. I wish you all many fruitful and productive hours of writing specifically to find that feeling waiting for you on the other side of your brilliant, terrible words.

And I wish you many, MANY incoherent comments in response.

#anyway yeah just wrote a chapter with elrond that i am so excited for when i finally get to post oh man #people are going to HATE IT #i can't wait #writing #fanfiction #writing positivity #fandom

after sleeping on the latest anniversary special i think i’m at peace with the whole bi-generation thing because it does something i don’t think it would’ve been able to do if it was executed in any other way. it allows the show to move the fuck on.

nuwho began with this mysterious sense that something bad happened. that this man, this alien, is filled with guilt and pain from something terrible. that theme of a horrible anguish being thinly veiled under a witty, dorky shield has been consistent throughout every incarnation of the doctor since. it’s a brilliant piece of characterisation but the doctor always being weighed down by this insurmountable grief i think was always going to hold the show back eventually. tragedy is inherent to doctor who but when does it become hard to believe that the main character is somehow able to continue on after everything they’ve gone through. what effect would this have on the audience, especially long-term fans? letting go of past companions and doctors is something that doctor who fans are notoriously bad at and i just wonder if it would become too much for the show to handle at one point. but now it won’t anymore.

bi-generation allows the doctor to heal from everything they’ve gone through whilst still being able to barrel into the next adventure. there’s a million theories on where 14 will end up but i think what matters the most is that the doctor is finally happy. not in a temporary, tenuous state of thrill that will only last until the start of the next episode or when the next threat appears around the corner but truly happy. unlike in previous versions of this story where the doctor gets an impossible happy ending which we never get to see onscreen (e.g. tentoo settling down with rose) we are actually going to witness 15 be joyful and alive, no longer held down by what’s come before. a fresh start almost. not to say that the time war or the flux were so horrific that the doctor never could’ve gotten over them but i don’t think the doctor healing would’ve been believable without him literally splitting in two, allowing him time to breathe and slow down as 14 whilst untethering him from the past and allowing him to fully spread his wings as 15. it’s not a perfect conclusion to this era (and discussions on whether bi-generation undermined ncuti’s entrance and role as THE doctor are completely valid) but i’m ultimately glad it happened

#spreading positivity in the doctor who fandom GASP what a concept! #hope i don’t swing into hating this plot point immediately after posting this but this is where i am rn #hope some of this made sense lol #im just so excited for ncuti!! #doctor who #dw #doctor who specials #doctor who 60th anniversary #the giggle #14th doctor #15th doctor #david tennant #ncuti gatwa #bi generation #my bi-generation thoughts #bi-generation #bi regeneration #bigeneration

not to get sentimental over an anime i just got into but its genuinely so refreshing watching dunmesh. there's no incest, the underage characters aren't sexualized, and most if not all the fan service is of senshi and laios or even chilchuck. this is the bare minimum of making a good anime but it's got me really happy

#this isn't even mentioning impeccable world building #or amazing yet simplistic character designs #and the characters interactions #every relationship feels natural and real despite the fantasy setting #the party knowing jack shit about each other cause it's really only been a work relationship til now #the rewatchability is also great #i rewatched the first 3 episodes with my friend and i was just as excited and shocked as i was the first time #this show (and manga which i have yet to buy) is so fucking good and genuinely makes me incredibly happy #dungeon meshi #dunmesh #delicious in dungeon #toad croaks #positivity #rant
