My AuDHD Burnout Story: What Was It Like And What Happened

The comments on this video have me in tears; I am not alone. You are not alone. Adult Autistic Burnout is VERY real and if you’re experienceing it you need to know that I love you so much for holding on and that we can get through this hell. Slowly, painfully, but we’ll get into a safe place.

The Nazis are Always Watching: Costuming, Fantasy, White Supremacy, and the Swastika

The historical dress and costuming community is having a moment, a moment about the ugly context of historical dress, and how the use of historical dress in modern society can cause real hurt to marginalized groups, whether or not that was the intent of the wearer, and whether or not the historical dress is accurate. and while the historical costuming was in the middle of this moment, I had an experience that you know, kind of illustrates this exact problem. A popular Tumblr clothing blog posted pictures of a reenactment group reenacting the Latvian Iron Age. The first picture included a large swastika.

So what is so bad about a reenactor wearing a historically (or prehistorically) accurate swastika in their modern reenactment? What's so wrong with posting this image without commentary on a blog? And what can we learn from this as writers? It's simple. The Nazis are always watching.

The video that inspired me to make a video about this incident and the issue it highlights, "The Dangers of Making History a Fantasy" by DSA Threads Costuming, can be found here:

Nami Sparrow made a lot of points in her video: "The Peacock Dress is Problematic || don't make it" that helped me articulate how I felt seeing the many posts from SartorialAdventure that highlight the clothing of nonwhite cultures, and showing various marginalized people in beautiful clothes, while at the same time the blog runner was quoting from a Holocaust revisionism website. That video can be found here:

@sartorialadventure's post, including the quotes from and link to a website engaging in a from of Holocaust revisionism, can be found along with my initial response here:
