tired: flirting with someone in DMs
wired: flirting with someone IRL
inspired: flirting with someone across the 3-5 different platforms and networks u share
@sorreltyree@tootplanet.space @Camas@girlcock.club the two worst words are plural and system, since both have a lot of other meanings aside from plurality, and there's usually at least one that applies in most circumstances
food (mediterranean)
when the ghosts of three dozen aunties appear in ur room like "you must be starving, eat something" and you have to tell them you ran out of olive oil
@Camas@girlcock.club @sorreltyree@tootplanet.space ah, yeah. i've been involved with both groups for a while so i can usually tell stuff apart but there's still terms where it's like "wait does this mean something in both contexts"
also i can probably explain some of the common terms if you have questions. this is a standing offer
@Camas@girlcock.club @sorreltyree@tootplanet.space wait did you misread the thing you said yourself or

@amateurwitch honestly at that point either they're into it or they're probably afraid of you (or, more likely, both) so like. it'd probably work
re: Question about Autism diagnosis "levels"
@stackingstones@todon.nl @lapis yeah, i'm fortunate enough to actually have access to most of the paper they produced, but even then it doesn't make a lot of sense. there's a lot of decisions being made behind the scenes that aren't at all based on diagnostic criteria

some facts about putting pronouns in profiles (247 words)
- Some people put pronouns in their profiles.
- Some people get misgendered a lot when they don't put pronouns in their profile, and put pronouns in their profile so they get misgendered less.
- Some of those aforementioned people are trans people.
- Bigots like to pick out things that the subjects of their bigotry do as "weird" to justify their harassment and abuse.
- When cis members of a community put pronouns in their profiles, harassment for listing pronouns becomes less. Anti-trans bigots are more hesitant to do it because doing so feels less socially acceptable; pro-trans people are emboldened to speak out against any such harassment that does occur. Further, trans people feel safer putting pronouns in their profiles.
- Not every cis person is comfortable or safe putting pronouns in their profile. (Not every 'cis' person is cis.) For that matter, not every /trans/ person is comfortable or safe putting pronouns in their profile. For some people, it's a no-brainer to include them or not; for other people, it's a hard choice, and they're the only ones who can make that choice.
- We talk about putting pronouns in profiles because we want people who've never thought about it to realize that it's possible. We can't make a choice for them, but they can't make the choice if they don't know there's one to be made, or what they're choosing between ... so we talk about it.
@amateurwitch at that point you just gotta own it. you called yourself their goddess now you have to live up to that title
i wonder if i'd be more productive if i followed really serious people. i mean, i don't want to test it i like the friends i've made & all but. i need to stop affecting all the emotions that make it hard to focus. i'm bad enough at focusing already

re: Question about Autism diagnosis "levels"
@stackingstones@todon.nl @lapis the first attempt at diagnosing me kinda. has that? bc they asked parents to describe things i had trouble with / what helped with it. and then they wrote a couple-dozen page document about me and didn't give people the actually useful information
of course, that only works when it's a young'un involved, and i didn't get diagnosed then, but still
re: Question about Autism diagnosis "levels"
@stackingstones@todon.nl @lapis i mean it's the same core problem as functioning labels originally. it doesn't actually label functioning at all, just how well you can act nt
my autism diagnosis was weird bc everyone already knew i was autistic beforehand so i went to the whoever and they were like "ok let's read the book together" and then they wrote a note confirming i'm autistic. it was all just a formality, basically, since we both knew i was beforehand
@amateurwitch jkhj by the nine i Have to see that now
@amateurwitch why 'accidentally' do it on porpoise

re: Question about Autism diagnosis "levels"
@lapis in the process of typing this i looked it up and it's definitely just a new version of functioning labels wow. worth noting that there aren't any sources here from actual psych professionals and that a$ is the first non-dotcom result. they have three "levels" and level 1 is what "high-functioning" was in functioning labels. i'm not looking further
it looks like they might've actually invented a more ableist version of functioning labels, yikes
