Colors I love because they are precious and ephemeral:

Robin’s egg blue, which has just a hint of teal, and can really only exist in a nest

The green of a tree’s leaves juxtaposed against the summer sky on an extremely clear day, where both the green and the blue are so intense it makes you pause just to experience it

The brown of a black cat’s fur when it’s laying in the sunlight

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

Well yes then

If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.

Shitposting known triggers for extreme distress is not funny, not cool, not very human, actually.

To all the people telling me "I'm in your walls" is a harmless meme and "if you are sensitive enough to be triggered by it you shouldn't be on the Internet", please read this and then tell me it's a meme that has nothing to do with schizophrenia, it's a harmless meme, and if me and other people with schizophrenia get 'triggered' by it we are too sensitive.

It was literally made to purposely trigger people in psychosis/ people with schizophrenia specifically. Me and many other people who post about our schizophrenia/psychosis online get spammed with this type of thing, I get anons pretty regularly. I actively try to avoid it but it doesn't matter. I can't think of any other popular "meme" that purposely triggers people online who are already vulnerable. It is blatant sanism/ableism.

There is no way you can divorce the "joke" from its original intended purpose. And why do you guys fight so hard to justify this "joke"? It's not ever funny, it's not clever or creative, it's just bullying a minority, that's literally it.

Those of us with schizophrenia/psychosis deserve to be on the Internet just like everybody else. It's not our fault that there is a popular meme made specifically to target our vulnerabilities. Even if we try our hardest to avoid these types of jokes, people will seek us out and harass us regardless.

Notice on the Know Your Meme page, all the other related searches that are more "memes" meant to trigger, harass, or make fun of people with psychosis/schizophrenia. A lot of these memes have only started/become popular in the last few years. And yet no one seems to be speaking up about how fucked up that is. Not even neurodivergent/mental illness awareness online. And when those of us with schizophrenia try ourselves to call it out, guess what kind of comments we get 🙄

For the hours spent ploughing through this horror as a 1980s schoolkid, why yes, I think I can find a handy breadknife.

All those people who like to show off by saying that they only watch documentaries ...?

Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.

Here's the billion dollar companies behind them.

Source reliability and credibility is sort of important. If you want to add a nerd layer, do a Google scholar check and go through the citations and see what the post 2022 ones seem to look like. Are people debating or contesting this concept? Is it totally marginal, with just one article in an obscure journal and only the same 3 people keep re-citing it? Have other people picked up the idea and are using it and developing it? Are those people publishing in quality international journals? Etc.

I am becoming aware of the effect a lack of trust in the media has had on people, paired with a dearth of research skills.

Blimey, this is specific -and interesting.

Are overdeveloped trapezius muscles an autistic thing?

i hope the massage anon or some other person with a special interest in the body will jump in, but yes, while autistic people often have underdeveloped large musculature, we often tend to overcompensate for a lack of core and posterior strength with postures that place a ton of stress on the traps, AND we often cope with constant stress and overwhelm by tensing that part of our bodies, shortening the muscles and bundling them up. i'm an example of this -- i sleep with my arms curled up and my shoulders pushed up to my ears and find that VERY emotionally and physically soothing (though it also gives me aches and pains and makes my posture look quite Disabled to people). it's not uncommon for Autistics to stim and self-soothe with movements that place tension on the traps as well. once again we are tormented by the stingray
