https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Continuing the attempts to get better at playing BIT.TRIP Runner with my feet. Also updated the spaced repetition system to choose pars more aggressively and lower cooldowns when I repeatedly fail.

@hellomiakoda @punishmenthurts @haui @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic my intuition is that a lot of NT "communication" comes down to both people nodding in agreement about something but if you ask them seperately they actually don't even agree.
We are bad at communicating because they follow rules that make things easier for them, not more accurate or precise, just easier for them.
By insisting on the necessary relevance of the specific information you fail the NT nod along test, you make it "difficult" by refusing to make collective the sense of ease the primary goal.
That's why we are so "difficult" maybe idk

This is your reminder to back up your fediverse account exports. Backup your followers, your mutes and blocks. Do it do it do it

Every time some corporate person I know announces their transition on LinkedIn, I almost want to congratulate them then I realize they mean career transition

Autistic peer-to-peer information transfer is highly effective:
"... information transfer between autistic people may be more successful than information transfer between an autistic and a non-autistic person. ... autistic people effectively share information with each other. Information transfer selectively degrades more quickly in mixed pairs, in parallel with a reduction in rapport."

@Frances_Larina @magicalgrrrl @actuallyautistic And I think the way that happened for me was by pursuing specific interests that bring in both kinds of folks. But since that depends on what your particular interests are, it doesn't really work as advice. -Cole

@Frances_Larina @magicalgrrrl @actuallyautistic This might explain a lot about why my experiences of queer communities so often differ from others I hear about. I think I tend to end up in communities where ND folks and queer folks congregate, even though they're not necessarily explicitly either. -Cole

It's been my experience that I am mostly welcome in the corners of the queer world that are ND. The rest of it seems very NT oriented & centric. That's okay, it just mimics the straight world. But it's important to keep in mind when seeking out friendships.

I knew the Dunning-Kruger effect wasn't valid, but thanks to this post I finally understand why: "The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation"

Poverty shouldn't exist. For anyone. Ever. Too often I hear 'No one with a job should live in poverty.' True. But let's go further. No one should live in poverty, job or not. Jobs should be a ticket to more than just survival.
Think thriving, not surviving; buying fun, not life.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Continuing my ALTTP door rando seed from forever ago. In which I took no notes so I now have to work out where I am from scratch.
I'll be taking notes this time.

I think what makes this most challenging is to balance the need for an internal narrative and the way our beliefs shape our internal reality, while also being open to the possibility of being wrong. It's good to question things when they don't seem to line up so you can get a more accurate model, but not too much.
And we have to be more willing to question our explanations of external reality, which mostly does not seem to be influenced by our ideas of it.

plurality (thread)
One thing to also remember is that non-plurals also have an internal narrative that they tell themselves, regarding where their thoughts/feelings/motivations/actions come from, and I'm guessing most do not spend much time doubting that narrative, even though it's at least as limited and likely to be incorrect as the plural model.
