Growing up, Sesame Street taught me the importance of education, empathy, and kindness.

Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, taught me that revenge on my enemies should be quick, clever, and brutal.

Uncharacteristically high quality post:
Happy 10 years to this gorgeous girl. Thank you for spending the best decade of my life with me.

A couple of weeks ago, in another place where I generally feel safe, someone made a scathing comment - not to me, or even about me - about "self-diagnosed autistics". Without a signed certificate, apparently we aren't worthy of the label.
I've been stewing about it ever since, and sometimes doubting myself. This morning I'm peeved. Who the hell is that person to make declarations about other people - including me?

My previous actually autistic posts gave me some excellent answers and furthered my processing a lot. Thanks to everyone involved! πŸ’œ

I self-diagnosed very late. Some big reasons have been a) not having certain stereotypical qualities such as aversion of eye contact, and b) scoring between NT and autistic in many online tests. Interestingly, the realization that I'm autistic wasn't that big identity-wise. I've understood I have certain qualities ages ago. Instead of a change in my identity, it's been a big relief to understand why I'm this and that.

There's still lots to process though. I'm only now coming to grips with how my memory works, for instance.

Ordered two books on autism, Neurotribes and the Devon Price book. Really looking forward to reading those.

Doggy style means you get a treat afterwards, right?

Burst out laughing when I saw this guy peering down at me like this as I was watering my plants

@actuallyautistic Seriously, though, I'd be willing to pay money for quality children's shows that feature autistic major characters for my little ones to watch.

I love watching righties lose their shit over stuff like this. I mean, it’s absolutely fucking glorious.

The other Ukraine bill also passed in the House:
The bill to expand Russian sanctions and start confiscating Russian assets for Ukraine!

The US far-right is made up of some of the stupidest people you'll ever encounter -- folks who claim to be proud of a country they've never bothered to study.
To anyone who doesn't get what's funny, this statue was designed and built in France. Jesse slept through third grade.

I just read the subtitle.

Nothing says "privileged cis het white moderate" like a sentence that tries to find middle ground between fascism and non-fascism.
