I think being autistic has made me realize how extremely hostile the environments we have designed are. And I don't mean "this environment is uniquely hostile to me because I am autistic" I mean that even normies are just existing in brutal, stagnant spaces, they have just internalized them as normal. We could have it all, we could live in such a beautiful and fascinating world, designed by humans and for humans who actually enjoy life and it's complexity and wonder. but even now it's like, seen as kinda hippy-dippy bullshit to have "excessive" indoor plants in a workspace or something

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

the thing that always gets me ESPECIALLY about autistic representation in media is that we are universally portrayed as happy-go-lucky, whimsical children, completely oblivious to the fact that the world constantly judges and scorns and HATES us.

We notice. I noticed. The reason I am as messed up as I am today is because i spent 20 LONG years in an environment where every day i was subjected to that. To noticing.

what an absolutely neurotypical view of us. Coddling themselves, getting to act like the way they treat us is fine because we don't understand that our peers dont respect us. Why would we? We're so subhuman to them, it's like asking if your cat notices you playfully insulting it.

Every autistic person I've ever met is on some level bitter and angry and TRAUMATIZED at their upbringing. Of having to go through school as the laughing stock, as the weirdo with no friends who no one wants to talk to, as the animal in the corner you can make do cheap tricks so they can experience some Simulacra of what genuine human connection is.

Now tell me, does it sound like I didn't notice?

we're in this weird maga era where men are desperate to be seen as macho but also are soooo fucking whiney about it? they're like "we must return to manliness" while acting like a pathetic sopping wet dog begging for scraps. it's so intolerable. you can't drink soy milk but you can cry about your ex wife being mean on twitter?? men are intentionally more hostile than ever and then make begging for pussy a national news story?? whatever dude

Losing your empathy, losing your imagination, and finding yourself alone are all connected.

Right-wing masculinity influencers are counting on book bans and banned words to shrink your heart and mind.

The reason I’m not an anarchist is that in the centuries before the Americans with disabilities act people could have all installed safe wheelchair ramps in all of their buildings and they didn’t.

If you’re trying to make a system that relies on people being nice I’m not gonna go with it.

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

Thinking once again about how wasted of a character concept Strong is.

Like what if instead of him being so solely fixated on “the milk of human kindness”, he took an interest in all of Shakespeare’s stories. And the player, who probably played fo3, thinks this is going to be a Fawkes-like character. But Shakespeare isn’t hoity-toity, and it turns out that Strong likes his stories because they’re all super gruesome. Or at least all of the ones he paid attention to.

He could have combat lines like “I’ll hold your skull in my hand!!” or “I’ll turn you into meat pie!!” or “Thus! Thus! Thus! Thus! Thus!”. And if you want him to have some funny misconception about the stories, maybe he thinks they’re all real historical accounts or something like that. Or maybe he’s convinced Shakespeare is actually some great warrior and he wants to best him in combat. (Why else would they call him Shake Spear!!)

Idk, I haven’t thought it too far out, but Shakespeare is kind of my thing. I just can’t stop laughing at the idea of this super mutant complaining about how underwhelming it was that Lady Montague died offstage of grief, or boasting that super mutants are the best because they could all kill Macbeth.

Shout out to the USA for pissing Canadians off so bad it flipped an entire election that was supposed to be a landslide for the center-right, forever in your debt o7

you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.

you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.

you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.

you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.

You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
