When you are posting on tumblr, do not add your commentary to the text of the post, in case others disagree with you and the original poster may come and say to you, "Make your own post," and then you will be in disgrace. But when you post, add your commentary to the tags, so that when the original poster sees them, they may say to you, ‘Friend, do not hide this in the tags'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who blog with you.

I am gently taking your hands and begging you, BEGGING YOU, to understand that humans are not inherently harmful to the planet. We are animals who are part of the ecosystem. We belong here. This is our home. We belong here. You belong here. Yes, you belong here.

READ THIS IF YOU PLAN TO BOYCOTT YOUTUBE LONG-TERM

get an invidious account. it is an alternative front-end to youtube, allowing you to make an account, subscribe to channels, make playlists, and all the other things you use youtube for; all without giving the company a single cent. swearing off youtube long-term is a tall ask, so you can use this to still follow the creators you want to keep up with while continuing the youtube boycott. it has a built-in adblock and anti-tracker, meaning that you can really keep fucking them over.

it doesnt interact with the API at all, it scrapes the metadata to make sure they get as little as possible.

For me the key characteristic of autism is intensity. My body awareness is inescapable. My senses have powerful sway over my consciousness. My emotions are strong. My thoughts are intricate, spiraling labyrinths. My fascinations illuminate me like lightning. I am a dog that needs to run, run, run in a land without fences, dig, dig dig to the center of the earth, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw until every atom is separated from its partners.

I am incredibly stressed by variation in surroundings and routine, yet have a ferocious thirst for experience. Fear, distress, discomfort and overwhelm lock around my body like an iron maiden, but joy, interest and pleasure are just as all-consuming.

Non-autistics seem capable of being okay with the parts of life that torture me like a ball of fishhooks lodged in my guts, but at the same time they seem to sleepwalk through life without tasting anything. Being conscious feels unbearable some days, and yet I love to be alive, and I've hardly met anyone who loves to be alive the way I do. I drink deeply from the cup of life and taste strawberries and chocolate and nectar and seawater and sewage, and for everyone else it's just water.

Uncomfortable facts of life:

Nobody's going to magically swoop in to rescue you. You can't just sit there and expect someone else to come save you. You have to get your shit together and do it yourself.

About 90% of the time, the "it" you have to do on your own is pushing yourself to walk up to someone else and use your words to say "hey I need help."

i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation
