There was a child who learned early
that silence was safer than the soft spill of her own song.
She gathered the voices of others,
their sharp tones, their sighs of disappointment,
their careful corrections, and built herself a cage made of borrowed words.

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."
Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run
Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

Hot take: the ideal stim activity is a musical instrument. Repetitive, tactile, very *very* deep range of extremely small things to selectively pay attention to across several senses, annoys the hell out of neurotypicals.
Highly recommend stimming, loudly.

I hate John Howard.
I am irreparably disappointed in Albo.
I hate hearing Albo boasting about his govt's achievements (while he does nothing to stop a genocide) as much as I hated hearing Howard boast (while he waged war on Iraq). #auspol #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine #ZionismIsNotJudaism

I want to do a 🧵 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational.
First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares.
Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.

I spent my whole life trying to act “normal” at school, and at work. But I was never pretending to be someone else. I was pretending to be human the way they wanted me to be.
This is about autism, masking, and finally stopping the performance.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

You weren’t “bad at life”.
You were trying to live in a world that never made space for your brain.
You weren’t “failing”.
You were adapting - to noise, to pressure, to expectations that made no sense.
You weren’t “emotionally immature”.
You were masking grief so deep it didn’t have words yet.

Thankfully we have another term of Labour allowing the country to steadily slide backwards instead of the coalition pushing it down.

Excellent @amyremeikis.bsky.social piece on what the Albanese Labor Govt will do in its second term: the very least they can do. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
We finally find out what Labor will do with its second term
The question we have been asking is ‘what will Labor do with power?” Now we have the answer – the least possible.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.
