Baby bird season is incoming and I’d like to remind everyone that birds do not have a significant sense of smell. Bird parents will not reject birdlets because you have handled them.

If you see smol birbs with few or no feathers on the ground, you can safely put them back into their nest, bird parents will still care for them.

If you see smol birbs with some or most feathers on the ground, please leave them there, as bird parents are probably nearby watching and feeding.

I asked my fans on Instagram what’s their favorite relationship (including partners and friendships) in DCU months ago when I first in this fandom :))

You know, it occurs to me that the known internet phenomenon of Reddit “am I the asshole?” posts having completely misleading headers is actually a really great example of a far less known but far more common practice of extreme journalistic spin in cases where there are large monetary incentives to diminish the story in question.

Like, if you see a Reddit post titled “Am I the asshole for buying my wife a new dress?”, the post is pretty much always something totally deranged like: “I (48) really dislike the way my wife (20) dresses, because I think it’s too revealing and makes her look slutty, which was fine when we started dating five years ago, but it makes me feel like she’s going to cheat on me now that we’re married. I’ve politely asked her to get new clothes multiple times, and every time she refused because she said she liked her clothes, and didn’t want to waste money buying new ones. Yesterday I couldn’t take it anymore so I threw out a bunch of her old dresses and bought her a new one that was more modest looking. She started crying because one of the dresses I threw out had been left to her by her mom who died when she was a teen, but I couldn’t have known that it had sentimental value. She said that I should have asked, but obviously if I asked she’d have just told me not to throw out any of her clothes, including the ones that weren’t sentimental. Also, the more modest dress I bought was pretty expensive, and she never thanked me for it. Am I the asshole here, or is she being unreasonable?”

Similarly, whenever you see a headline like “Woman Wins Millions From McDonald’s Because Her Hot Coffee Was Too Hot”, if you dig a bit, you’ll almost always quickly find out that what actually happened was: A 79-year-old ordered coffee which, unbeknownst to her, was being served extremely dangerously hot, because McDonald’s was trying to have coffee that stayed warm over a long commute without spending any extra money on cups with better insulation. The coffee spilled on the old woman’s lap, giving her severe third degree burns over a huge portion of her body, including her genitals. She got to a hospital and they managed to save her life with skin grafting, but she became disabled from the accident, and her genitals and thighs were permanently disfigured. She tried to settle with McDonald’s for her medical costs, and McDonald’s refused to cover any portion of her medical expenses at all, and so she sued. At trial, the jury discovered that this same exact thing had happened seven hundred times before, and McDonald’s had still decided not to change their policy because paying out individual suits was cheaper than moderately reducing their coffee profits. As a result, the jury awarded punitive damages designed to penalize McDonald’s two days worth of their coffee profits, in addition to the woman’s medical costs.

I think it’s largely the same phenomenon, but I know a lot of people who are familiar with the first case, but don’t know to look for the second. If you see some totally outrageous “how could a person ever sue over this stupid thing?” case, you should immediately be incredibly suspicious that that’s all that actually happened, because a lot of the time, it absolutely isn’t. The people who have the most incentive to make their opponent look not only wrong, but completely crazy for having any sort of grievance at all, are often the actually unreasonable ones. 

Anyway this is all to say that if I see ANY of y’all automatically siding with McDonald’s over the recent case where 4-year-old girl was severely burned by their chicken nuggets because “hurr durr dumb kid didn’t know that chicken nuggets were hot, people sue over anything lol”, I will grab that McBoot you’re licking and shove it all the way up your McFuckingAss.

Is Hufflepuff filled like 90% by autistic students?

Sooo... my friend and I have been talking about autism and our childhood and the inflated sense of justice and loyalty that comes with it when an idea struck me.

Justice? Loyalty? Fairness? Naively kind attitude that can easily be exploited? Special connection with animals? All sounds like the traits of Hufflepuffs (and autistic people)!

And as we're both neurodivergent that idea judt seemed too nice not to share.

Autistic people value fairness and loyalty a great amount. I would even say it is one of our core values. And therefore I think the Sorting Hat would most certainly put a lot of autistic students into Hufflepuff.

We may be too awkward to speak up for ourselves, but if we witness a great (or small) injustice happening around us we sure won't be leaving that be. Autistics are also known to be naive and almost child-like in their grasp of emotions. Hate, jealousy and generally bad intentions towards people aren't really in our vocabularly, which seems pretty well suited for a House that is known for its kindness. A lot of autistics also connect with animals and have a soft spot for them which has me thinking that this would absolutely extend towards magical creatures. I mean, look at Newt Scamander!

I believe that this would also work well with the general bad stereotypes and outside perception of the House. At worst Hufflepuffs are seen as pushovers, people-pleasers and cry-babies. We are not any of that, but the social awkwardness that comes with autism, the higher likelihood to be exploited by others, meltdowns, or the possibility of feeling emotions of others too much due to hightened empathy could have others believing that.

Finally, if there is to be a place at Hogwarts that would be great to meet one's autistic needs (other than the Room of Requirement) it would be the Hufflepuff common room. Just think about it! Hufflepuff is all about comfort!

The place is all soft fabrics and soft light so ideal for sensory needs, it is in a less frequented part of the castle in the basement so removed from the everyday humdrum and noise of Hogwarts, and it is right by the kitchens. I'm absolutely certain that the Hufflepuff students would make friends with the house elfs and we could eat our comfort food for seven years straight if needed.

The final point I find funny is - unlile the other houses, our password is a series of knocks on a barrel. The knocks have to come in the right sequence, make the correct pattern of noises - and honestly what better password for autistics that a pattern, especially an auditory one?

That is all I have for now! Feel free to add anything you want to this headcanon, I just found the idea really sweet as most of my neurodivergent friends (and myself) would actually be sorted into Hufflepuff.

4 Tips for Autistic Writers

Autistic writers can face unique challenges when it comes to writing. NaNo Participant Auden Halligan has tips to handle some of those challenges!

So, you’ve just sat down at your desk, all ready to work on your next chapter, but you just can’t seem to start. Something is itching at your brain, and no matter how hard you think, you can’t figure it out. For autistic writers, that itch might be even harder to get around when compounded with autistic inertia, introspection issues, and sensory processing disorder — even if we were super excited to get started, sometimes the stumbling blocks are enough to keep us from going anywhere at all.

Here are four tips to identify your struggles and work around them rather than against them as an autistic writer!
