I was convinced I didn't have Train Autism and then a friend pointed out the best way to get me to start monologuing is asking me what I think of the local subway infrastructure.

Fuckin TYPOS oh my god fuck me.

A lot of #NotAllMen gender discourse would benefit from seeing maleness as a social construct or class on par with whiteness. Because "white" as the unified category Americans understand it as, is a 20th century invention. 1/?

Well meaning people, “don't say ‘suffering from disease’ instead say something that doesn't necessitate suggesting that their life is worse because of their disease.” me: I am absolutely suffering from depression, it's like, the whole deal with depression.

There a few explanations for why mosr autistic people prefer this phrasing to "People with autism". First, autism is so embedded in our biology that it's impossible to separate it from who we are (nor we want it, mostly. See: debate around seeking a cure for autism). 1/?

The debate about calling us "People with Autism" vs "Autistic People" is the perfect encapsulation of what it can feel like to interact with neurotypical people. 1/?

I have ACHIEVED WORLD PEAS! Took me only 17 days to resort to puns for inspiration. But i'm happy with it :D Nr. 17 World Peas #DailyMöwenfels #Dailysketch

I'm going through a very intense creative time. Wrote +3k words today, been doodling and working on my watercolours more. If I could only stop feeling so detached from the world, it'd be perfect.

Since this summer's heat waves started, I keep seeing dead pigeons on the pavement. Definitely not the sort of thing that happens in the first third of a climate change-themed apocalyptic movie.

Let's settle this offline. 💅

I can't fucking believe my dermatologist prescribed be me Spiro. Trans girlies come save me.

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

Oh, so when fictional characters sprinkle clever little pop culture references in their speak it shows they're witty and smart, but when I joke about the new hire being based in "Istanbul, not Constantinople" I'm "being weird" and "need to speak with HR"?

Weird things I've experienced my whole life that I didn't know were symptoms of, comorbid with, or otherwise related to autism. A thread. 🧵

The underdiagnosis of Autistic Women is falsely attributed to us being "naturally gifted at masking". In reality, masking is a survival response to stuctural oppresion. If ability to mask depended on sex rather than oppression, we wouldn't see higher diagnosis rates among white men than Black men.

Daniel "exacting my psychosexual revenge on you to support my husband, but mostly because you made me feel dumb" Molloy. Iconic.

Thriving at the leftist commune thanks to the transferable skills honed during my time as a Professional Whipping Boy.

Someone gifted the neighbour's noisy kid a toy that makes a police siren sound. #Encephadoodles

7a. Intermittent interruption and disruption of learned psychomotor tasks like the “automatic” stair climbing motion.

r/AIO is great cause if you're doubting yourself about something, you can make a post, watch the community make the most bad-faith interpretation of it, and realise you'd have to be a total asshole to think you're overreacting

There's this person who keeps unknowingly trying to get me to hang out with someone I had a Big Disagreement with, and at this point I think it'd just be easier to tell them, "Listen, just ask him why we don't hang out anymore and then believe any lie he tells you, cause you'll do that either way."

My least favorite dynamic is "fandom convinces itself that an explicitly, canonically abusive character is a cinnamon roll, then feels betrayed when the character later acts like an abuser". Either stan non-abusive characters or learn to enjoy dark storylines. Pick a struggle.

The overton window has been pushed so far to the right that "Send the Omelas child to Bangladesh" is considered leftist.

What's your job at the late stage capitalist hellscape? I will be partnering with agile transformation evangelists to facilitate the delivery of scalable headless cross-border DTC eCommerce solutions to disrupt traditional supply chains and maximize shareholder value.

A tu fuente de ingresos también la pueden despedir, tontalculo. Y si eso pasa, tu amado esposo y tú agradeceréis que estés tú trabajando.

Dos manos, reina.

Another tech event, another evening spent biting my tongue.

Being informed about the AI bubble and the real cost of tokens means that I'm completely unconcerned with AI replacing me, yet terrified of the degree to which its pop will crash the economy.

ME: ...in practice, they were no different to any other monastic class, extracting labour from serfs in exchange from some nebulous spiritual good, with Nirvana replacing Catholic heaven. MY DATE: Are you going to eat me out or

A weird byproduct of 1) speaking English as my second language, 2) Not living in a country where English is the main spoken language, and 3) Being terminally online, is that sometimes I genuinely can't tell if a term is online slang, regular slang, or appropriated AAVE.
