Folks, we are in the early stages of a fascist pogrom against trans people right now. If your focus is on "teachable moments for transphobes" I think you've got your priorities all fucked up but even more importantly I do NOT fucking want to hear about it. Keep that nonsense out of my mentions or like the cool kids say:

"read the fucking room."

Name that band!

@Chronomyst there's also no team in guillotine

Video's just been given parole. Radio Star's family are said to be livid.

Fuck Reddit. I think I'm going to delete my account

If you’d asked me just twelve hours ago whether I hoped to be able to post a picture for #Caturday, I would have said “no”.

I would have said I’d given up all hope of #Tigger coming home after 26 days away 😿

And I would have been wrong 😱

As it is, I’m just amazed & grateful that he returned shortly after midnight last night. Very skinny, but otherwise seemingly well & very loud 😺🥰

Thank you to everyone who kept hoping 🙇‍♂️🙂👍

However sad you think your sad is, your sad is not as sad as this sad is.

Here’s a little preview of my shoes I’m wearing in the Pride Parade tomorrow night.

@actuallyautistic Me (closes the back door and goes out to engage with the lawn-mower guy who needs the gate unlocked. Returns to report that the covering of the food is gonna have to wait while I unlock the gate; partner takes over gate duty; I return to covering the food.) My brain:

@actuallyautistic a big part of that rebuilding, has been a process of being brutally honest with myself about how people see me. I'm lucky that my husband is so perceptive and emotionally intelligent because it's given me Intel I can rely on that isn't filtered through my own anxiety.
I've come to realize that people find me *intense*. Many say I'm too intense, but there's plenty of people who would call it "badass" or "passionate". My new strategy is to play to those people

@actuallyautistic As a performer, I learned that to get over stage fright, I need to focus on even just one person in the audience who I know is rooting for me. Forget the rest is there if I have to. I'm now applying this to life. I have superficial, rote responses for those who can't handle me. But instead of thinking about my manner as something I should be grateful anyone puts up with, I've started framing people who appreciate it as the lucky few who deserve access to my many hidden talents

OMG. 🤦‍♀️😂

Where are the #ActuallyAutistic artists out here?

Share your work!

@btaroli @stephenczetty @cinja @cadenza @actuallyautistic exactly. I'd always felt very guilty and shameful bc I'd learned a simplistic (catholic) view of "lying". there are so many values and needs that sit higher on the priority list than thinking about how closely our language-based communication "matches" the truth as it's accepted by an oppressive system and the moral majority

dammit

then there's lying about how stole the cookies, which is never acceptable
