The Loudest Boom This Side'a Salvo

If you were ever taught not to bother anyone unless it's really, really important, you might now struggle with the idea that no really, your friends would love to hear from you just because and not only when one of you is in crisis

its gay asf for a man to be a paladin....who are you laying hands on? other men?

hey so we can talk about trans men. we can make art featuring trans men. we can headcanons characters as trans men. we can discuss the politics and oppression surrounding being a trans man. we can talk about loving trans men. and this does not take away from trans women, we can talk about trans men. its ok

some of you are not cis and the thing is that you don't even have to do anything about it. you can just be like "damn that's crazy" and move on with your life. you don't have to change your name. you don't have to change your pronouns. you don't have to choose which flavor of not-cis you are. you don't have to change your wardrobe. you don't have to come out or cut your hair or reinvent yourself. you can just be like "huh neato!" and let that be that. you don't owe anyone a performance of your queerness. not even other queer people. ok that's all thank you and goodbye

"You don't owe anyone a performance of your queermess."

"that doesn't sound sincere- it sounds rehearsed" is one of the most devastating and fucked-up statements you can make to anyone in the neurodivergent/ADHD/Autistic/Schizophrenic/Disordered Personality sphere. yeah bitch it's rehearsed. because i wanted to get it right when i said it

I think some of the loneliness of autism is that you feel like you hurt people just by Interacting Wrong, but you don’t know how to Interact Right, and the more effort you put into it, the more exhausted you are and the more artificial it comes across (with the end result of people still being upset with you). and it’s not anyone’s fault for not liking Being Interacted With Wrong, and it’s not your fault for doing it so wrong, but it is very, very lonely.

anyway, every single book I write ever is going to secretly be about autism
