There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.

I discovered HavocScope.com today and I got a little bit too excited.

Also this conversation is less ominous than it sounds.

I am a perfectly reasonable adult with perfectly reasonable coping mechanisms.

Sukuna would probably hate pizza, and in my head I hear him telling me, “it would please me if you ate the courier” (delivery person).

@gofancyninjaworld love that for you!

I need someone to make a phone call while pretending to be my parent. That person is Itadori Yuji, but I’m going to ask him to switch with Sukuna for 10 seconds because that is infinitely more interesting

You are faced with some random problem and the only person who can help you is the main character from the last piece of media you consumed (you can also do favorite character if there are multiple main characters). You can stay in this universe or be in the universe of the character, whichever you prefer, but the problem remains the same and the only person who can directly help you is the main character. That character can call on the help of those they know in their media, but when it comes down to it, they are the only person really helping you. How do you react to this situation?

Spin to find out your problem:

what if #writingcommnunity is a safe space to discuss writing conundrums of all stripes—(presumably?) for nuns/by nuns.

maybe it isn’t a typo and we missed something, is all I’m saying. what if we’re the baddies here.

This tweet is just... Odd. Very odd.

Like... You live like this? You write like this? You think like this??

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

Skincare is Like Cooking—Here’s the Perfect Recipe for Healthy, Balanced Skin 👩‍🍳💆‍♀️

If you wouldn’t randomly throw ten different spices into a dish and hope for a five-star meal, then why are you doing that with your skincare routine? 🤯

Too many actives? Disaster.

Skipping the essentials? Ruined.

Not giving it time to work? Ineffective.

Skincare is like cooking—you need the right ingredients, the right method, and a little patience. Let’s break it down so you can stop overloading your skin and start cooking up a glow. 👩‍🍳✨

Step 1: The Base – Cleansing 🥄

Like every great meal starts with a solid base, your skincare routine starts with cleansing.

❌ The Mistake:

Using a harsh, stripping cleanser that leaves your skin dry and tight. That’s like burning your onions before you even start cooking—the whole dish is ruined!

✅ The Fix:

Choose a gentle, non-stripping cleanser suited for your skin type. Your skin should feel fresh, not overcooked.

💡 Best Cleansers for Your Skin Type:

✔️ Oily Skin? Foaming gel cleansers with salicylic acid.

✔️ Dry Skin? Hydrating cream cleansers with ceramides.

✔️ Sensitive Skin? Fragrance-free, pH-balanced cleansers.

Step 2: The Seasoning – Actives 🌶️

Actives like Vitamin C, Retinol, and AHAs are the seasonings of skincare—they enhance the results, but too much? Disaster.

❌ The Mistake:

Mixing multiple actives without a plan. It’s like adding too much chili powder and salt—you end up ruining the dish (aka your skin barrier).

✅ The Fix:

✔️ Introduce one active at a time to see how your skin reacts.

✔️ Alternate between days—don’t mix Retinol and strong exfoliants in one go.

✔️ Start with low concentrations before going full MasterChef mode.

💡 Pro Tip: If your skin is red, irritated, or flaky—you’ve over-seasoned. Cut back and let your skin recover.

Step 3: The Butter – Moisturizer 🧈

Would you make pasta without sauce? No? Then don’t skip moisturizer—it’s what holds everything together!

❌ The Mistake:

Thinking you don’t need moisturizer because you have oily skin. That’s like serving dry toast—unappetizing and unpleasant!

✅ The Fix:

Every skin type needs hydration. Find a moisturizer that works for you:

✔️ Oily Skin? Lightweight gel-based moisturizer.

✔️ Dry Skin? Rich, ceramide-packed cream.

✔️ Combo Skin? A water-based moisturizer that hydrates without heaviness.

Step 4: The Final Touch – Sunscreen 🔥

This is the most important step. If you skip it, everything else is wasted—just like forgetting to plate your food after all that effort.

❌ The Mistake:

Not wearing sunscreen because it’s cloudy or you’re indoors. That’s like leaving food out and wondering why it spoils.

✅ The Fix:

Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, no excuses! Your future self will thank you.

Quick Recap: The Perfect Skincare Recipe

Here’s your foolproof skincare formula for glowing, healthy skin:

🥄 Step 1: Cleanser = The Base → Use a gentle cleanser that preps your skin.

🌶️ Step 2: Actives = The Seasoning → Introduce ingredients slowly and wisely.

🧈 Step 3: Moisturizer = The Butter → Locks in hydration and balances the skin.

🔥 Step 4: Sunscreen = The Final Touch → Protects everything you’ve worked for!

Final Thoughts: Are You a Skincare Chef or a Skincare Disaster? 🍳🔥

I used to dump actives into my routine like I was seasoning fries—and let’s just say my skin fried too. 😭 Don’t make my mistake.

Skincare is all about balance, patience, and the right combination of ingredients. Follow this “recipe,” and your skin will reward you with a healthy, glowing complexion.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL
