Well, I certainly didn't have Pentagon Declares Mormonism/LDS Church To Not Be Christianity on my 2026 bingo card.

speaking of r slur shit i see people using the word then backtracking saying “i can reclaim it because i’m autistic :)” like i don’t think you can actually. because the r slur directly targets people with intellectual disabilities not someone who took the raads-r online and scored slightly within range of being on the spectrum SORRY

there’s this concept of “aspie supremacy” where autistic people with overall lower support needs dominate conversations of neurodivergence and do not take into consideration that they have privilege over other disabled and neurodivergent people. yes you ARE autistic and no one can tell you otherwise because they are not in your brain but being autistic and having an intellectual disability are two different things.

@withasmoothroundstone (z''l), Mel Baggs, coined this term and in 2011 wrote "Aspie Supremacy Can Kill" on their WordPress, BallastExistenz. Mel was nonspeaking, experienced institutionalization, and was a prominent autism rights activist until they died in 2020, from neglect via lack of services. I recommend reading their writings on this.

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

People on here talk about Laura Palmer like she’s their friend who actually died

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
