Middle aged autistic lady, watching a troubling amount of true crime and reality tv. A real condescending ribbon of brine. She/her.

Things we can change: Too many autistic people learn—often quite early in life—that they have no choice other than to submit to discomforts, and also people in their lives may not even register or believe that their distress is real. At TPGA:

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

I think about human selfishness and disease a lot, as you might imagine. Not even just because of my situation. My grandmother was quarantined in a sanitorium for a year after enduring intense trauma because people didn’t believe the government about TB.

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

Wow, the production value of the Kneecap livestream is so good! As someone in a smaller city that they’re never going to visit, I would have been happy with a basic stream of a club show. But this is amazing!

A lot of my neighbors and delivery drivers speak Arabic, so for the sign I put out on my porch with Halloween candy, I ran the phrase "Free candy for all drivers and neighbors!" through Google Translate. My FedEx guy just told me it says "Zero money for men in sweetie cars." 🫣
