Wow! I recognized that they were honoring a God but I need to look up which ones and, in fact, the whole religion. I’m curious now.

I’ll be researching this! Gorgeous dancing and light display will look up artist as well.

Positivity was drawn to me because I was feeling depressed and angry about my mind refusing to shut up. I’m still a chaotic unfocused mess but I’m working on it. One step at a time instead of like a weird sideways jig. My life is strange.

Self-worth for the win!

Sir, Sir! How dare thee, Sir! You challenged me to a duel and as tradition goes it is my right to choose the time and the weapon, and I choose right now, with our mouths! Sir, think of your honor and kiss me!

Animation! 

Here's a fun fact.

The word "animation" stems from the Latin "animātiōn", stem of "animātiō", meaning "a bestowing of life", and that, if you ask us, could not be more appropriate. Animated movies have the scope and freedom to capture life in a way quite unlike any other medium, even if it is essentially just still figures manipulated to appear as if they are moving. But this is a simple definition for something beautiful in its complexity. It comes in many, many forms too: traditional animation, rotoscoping, anime, cut out, 3D animation, stop motion, motion graphics... all of these mediums and more can capture the beauty, humor, strangeness, and indeed violence of life with endless creativity.

As it happens, 2023 is something of a vintage year for #animation, with the release of Nimona, Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Suzume, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, and Unicorn Wars. There is an abundance to come, too, with the return of anime master, and suspected final film, from Hayao Miyazaki, a fresh new take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the conclusion of the long-running ancestral trauma pageant The Venture Bros., and even another Chicken Run. It's a good, good year, despite it all.

End ID]

Note: I don't agree that burnout is only directly linked to masking, as it can also come from constant sensory input, routine changes etc even for non-masking Autistics.

got held up on the way to work today because there was a big snake trying to sun herself on the highway right on the way out of town & the lady in the grey subaru in front of me put her warning lights on & got out to try & shoo her into the grassy sunny verge on the other roadside. & it was afternoon and busy but the logging trucks stopped & waited & the family cars stopped & waited & the long haul truckers stopped & waited for that snake to cross the road. nobody so much as honked. & when the snake was safe the road was backed up in both directions but a fellow in a pickup truck waved at me to go ahead (i was waiting to turn right onto the highway) even though he could have made me wait until the whole long line of cars passed. what i am trying to say is: there is still love in this world. what i am trying to say is: happy pride to me & to that big old bull snake who will live to see another sunrise & to every person on that highway who decided that saving her was worth five minutes of delay
