given the recent us gov plans to create an "autism registry" and the resulting sentiment on this site that autism diagnoses are more risky than helpful & should be avoided from now on, i wanted to share my thoughts as an autistic person diagnosed at a young age who heavily relies on my diagnosis for support.

i'd like to preface this by acknowledging that i am low support needs and do not mean to speak over autistic people who require higher support. if you are higher support needs and would like to add on to this post, please do.

first off, it is true that this initiative may cause professionally diagnosed autistic people to be federally targeted in some way or another; the unauthorized use and release of private medical info comes to mind. but contrary to many tumblr users' reactions, this does not mean that our immediate physical safety will be compromised and that autistics will be subjected to genocide. i get that this kind of thing can be scary, but turning to doomerist attitudes and drawing inappropriate comparisons to nazism is not the way to deal with this. i promise the cdc will not be knocking at our doors to take away all autistic people and lock them away in an experimental lab.

onto my main point: i see a lot of people saying things along the lines of "this is why i'm glad that i'm not diagnosed" and "every self-diagnosed autistic person needs to stop all plans to get diagnosed now". i find these statements to be extremely generalizing and unproductive, as they are only applicable to a certain subset of low support needs individuals.

not all autistic people on this website lack a professional diagnosis. many of us, especially those who require higher support, were diagnosed very early on and did not have a say in the matter. in the same vein, not all autistic people are able to mask or pass as neurotypical to the point where it'll go unnoticed by parents, teachers, etc. i was diagnosed at age 7, despite diagnosis rates being lower in poc and women, because i was so visibly neurodivergent that my parents knew something was up lol. i'm very glad i was diagnosed, but i also acknowledge that i – like many others –didn't have a choice.

additionally, it's unfair to assume that every single undiagnosed autistic who is seeking a diagnosis will be better off without one. my autism diagnosis has made it so much easier to access medication, accommodations, and therapy. even as a person with low support needs, without those supports, i would be severely depressed and unable to function academically or socially. this is often even more true for autistics with higher support needs.

even though autistic people in the us who are diagnosed or seeking a diagnosis may be at risk due to this registry initiative, i implore low support needs autistics to please think twice before you say or share things that denounce diagnosis as a whole. remember that it is a privilege to 1) choose to remain undiagnosed and 2) have that not majorly affect your quality of life.

tysm for reading, reblogs are appreciated!!

I am not immune to trends. Some of these I haven't read in MANY years, so please forgive me if I had bad taste in my childhood.

These past few days have reminded me that there is a surprising amount of people who are uncomfortable with vulnerability and don't know how to handle that

Anyways if i see one more person giving chappel roan shit for not endorsing harris I'll actually snap. She's your perfect lesbian icon until she has an opinion you don't like and suddenly she's a disgrace to queer folks. She is not your fucking political endorsement machine she is a real human person with her own morals. It genuinely blows my mind how people are turning on her so fast because she said that both political parties, which have been and intend to keep funding a year long genocide, have problems. You're all fucking spinless

tomorrow, october 23 2024, spore will be getting an update to renew the server certificates.

there will be no new content.

however, this means that all mods that use the ModAPI sdk will break upon the 2024 update. .package files will not break and will be functional upon update. Most mods that work on the current (march 2017) version of the game will continue working fine, though many will need ModAPI and the Launcher Kit to be updated.

SMC community modders are currently working on an open-source mod that will backport the 2024 certificate updates to the march 2017 version so march 2017 update players can continue accessing servers. when it is released, i will post a link to it.

if you use the GOG or origin/EA versions of spore, you do not have to update your game and if you do not update, you will not be able to access the servers, but your mods will continue to function.

if you use modded steam spore, set your game's acf files to read-only. from the SMC discord:

there is a way for steam spore to be prevented from updating. Locate the folder SteamLibrary > steamapps

[it was Steam > steamapps for me, so it may be different for you.]

If you arent sure where you installed steam, right-click a steam game > manage > browse local files. You can backtrack from there. Most people have steam installed under "program files (x86)" but it depends.' Set the following two files to read only: appmanifest_24720.acf which is Galactic Adventures, and appmanifest_17390.acf which is Core Spore. You do this by right-clicking the file, then properties, then select "read-only" in the attributes section. When you DO want to update, remove the read-only flag.

as of right now i have already taken these steps, and hopefully my game will not cease to function upon update day, but i am spreading this information so we are all prepared for if it does stop functioning.

as a precaution to prevent outdated information from spreading, i will be turning off reblogs to this post once the situation is resolved.

trans woman c!dream struggling with her hair and giving herself a bad haircut as is her right of passage. she gets super frustrated with how often it gets in her face so c!techno gathers some hair clips (he probably borrows a couple from c!niki) and helps her fix it up.

she maybe looks a little late '90s, early 2000s too many butterfly clips but at least it's out of the way.

Is there an Oasis incest primer? I need to know the lore so I can explain it to someone beyond "vibes rancid, divorce evergreen (unless???)

thank you for asking! here's a primer. here's a quote from it

The Gallaghers have spent the past 25 years in the public eye being REALLY FUCKING WEIRD about each other. There's a lot of kissing and groping, both on and off stage. There are a lot of really loaded quotes about each other, a lot of emotional investment, and then we have the incest jokes.

the calls are coming from inside the house

edit: cannot believe I almost forgot this
