I didn't know that was a thing with anyone else.
A little spoken-about thing w/ being #ActuallyAutistic is the sensation you feel in your body when you understand that the friendships & relationships that you FULLY thought were important weren't seen as such by the other side. The realization that you read your life SO wrongly.
#AskingAutistics A lot of us have grown up being told to "be more concise", to not be "overly detailed" in how we explain things. Do you feel like that has impacted your ability to understand how to explain to people how you feel?
I've noticed that due to being told this, when people ask me how I am, I just simplify it so much that it ends up being "fine thanks!" even when I'm actually feeling more: "I'm actually really struggling right now"
I went upstairs to put clothes in the washer and dryer, and when I got back saw that Little Man had decided it's his chair now. I guess I'll have to sit somewhere else.
I hope they follow through. Shut the state down.
This is one to watch. Fascist Ron is about to have a real problem on his hands

I am expiring of the cute, two little boys in our neighborhood keep coming to ask me to help them inflate their soccer ball with my bicycle pump.
One of them said the sound of the ball inflating is like "flame trapped inside air".
It's a bonding activity for canines. All the domestication in history hasn't changed that.

What's helped me is the paradigm shift of best "available." We can't always bring our A game to everything. That's why there's 25 other letters. If doing my "best" is bringing my M game, then that's my best today. Different day, different variables, different best.
Florida rejects textbooks that educate kids on Holocaust.π³
This is what modern day fascism looks like.
Reminder: the main reason extremists would want to ban teaching about a past atrocity is to make it easier to enable that atrocity in the future. Smh.
Every week I remember about #FollowFriday on a Saturday, but not this time! π

He has everything to fail, independent, atheist, from jew origins, still he become the International symbol of freedom and resistance against oppression.
Now i strongly believe that #Ukraine will never follow any path but the one of a full Democracy.
If he's saying anything publicly, he's a fucking moron, and either has a moron for an attorney, or he's ignoring his attorney.
Let's hope he digs himself a hole deep enough he falls in and breaks something.
I notice that the man who killed Jordan Neely is advancing the narrative that he had to protect the subway riders from a person with mental health problems.
He's saying he was justified in killing a man with mental health problems on the subway.
He's saying it's okay to kill people with mental health problems.
I notice that.
I also notice that one of the first exterminations in Germany took place in the psychiatric hospitals.
Let's not forget that, shall we?
The Republican Party is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a political party. They use mob tactics as effective tools to remove dissent. #RepublicanCorruption #GOPDirtyTricks
