People thinking “this is not the time for humor” are ignorant of history. History is filled with moments of peril where the people mock the authoritarians. It undermines their attempt at controlling us. It is vital. youtu.be/I7vb89c6pQY?...

I feel like now especially, the most important tools we have are communication, knowing our needs and leaning into each other when things get tough, rather than apart.

Feels like our constantly connected age has eroded those skills in us, but perhaps times like now are how we sharpen them again

YouTuber recommendation for anyone pagan or witchy inclined. A veteran voice who I've found great for cutting though some of the pagan social media haze.

She's funny, anti-AI and rn donates US hoodie sales from her shop to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Also the very self-assured, say-it-like-it-is, more emotion-led, ambitious types of folks you see in the types of jobs that are more physical, or spaces like dance or music.

I don't encounter too many of these folks.
January 25, 2026 at 10:27 PM
A category of folks I have yet to decipher are the super friendly, carefree types who travel or focus on passion projects a lot, move around a lot and see work as a means to those things.

Purely because that's the polar opposite of my mindset. I'd love to gather some wisdom from these folks.

I feel like at some point, us tism folk (and anybody else who wants in) should get together and make a hitchhiker's guide to people stuff.

Addendum: Super duper competent, accomplished, *intimidatingly* independent people.

Observations:
- Surprisingly big feelers. They're just not telling you that
- Choosy about who they let in
- Have big ideas and a lot to say
- Be gentle with them. They're soft creatures underneath.

Shower thought of the day, as an autistic person who has been learning people stuff later in life.

One thing I learned in 2024/25. Yknow those super confident, unfazed people who are super good at socialising and seem to never struggle with anything? The people who others gather around?

Another top of my head thought:

Don't let anyone shame you for disengaging from the rage/fear cycle. Staying informed is important, but staying healthy is more important. If you need to take a break, watch a movie, meditate etc, do it.

The bad people depend on misery, despair and hopelessness.

Day 25 :: A song that changed your opinion on an artist

I had an image in my head that Charli xcx was standard issue party girl music, but this album was bold and vulnerable.

tarot-braining again. the tower is my leeeeast favourite card, but I find this reframe very important. especially now (i hope?)
Don’t fear The Tower. If something is breaking apart because it’s foundation is faulty, this is good. You can rebuild on a better foundation.

if you see this i need you to understand that you need to stop looking at social media and lock in to the thing you're supposed to be doing right now; don't do what i'm doing and write up an unnecessarily long-winded post about telling you to lock in while i have 3 projects i need to complete this m

Y'all is there anything more satisfying, in writing, than figuring out that one missing plot piece you've been trying to find for years

as someone usually vehemently non-violent, i'm finding it remarkably hard right now to think of a solution here that isn't violence.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

how about we start an autism awareness campaign, but purely through selling tshirts that say dumb shit in big font:

“turn down the lights”
”if the food isn’t beige, i don’t want it”,
”use your words, baby (i’m incapable of nuance)”
”FLAP YOUR HANDS if your fork scraped the plate wrong”
