You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I wish you could put out real estate ads for wildlife. Like I wish I could tell the local curlews that my backyard is available to them instead of them always being out near busy roads

My bird crawled under a shelf and came out with a Halloween costume

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Priorities. My @smh @theage cartoon.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

[after looking at the news] well, it's time to go and do something relaxing like watch horror movies for the rest of my life

no damn ai chat bot could ever type "hi, please see attached, thanks!" into an email with the same endearing joie de vivre that i put into it every single time

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

I don’t know why it took me so long to realise Benedict Wong is British as if there would be any other reason to be called Benedict

Two grey feathery creatures hanging out

For me it’s videos of tiny bats being taken care of

i do not mourn the death of evil people

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

What autistic people & their loved ones most need is research into kinds of support that effectively address their day-to-day needs. A rebalancing of our research priorities, [Ari Ne'eman] says, is “long overdue.” CN: others use medical model language. www.scientificamerican.com/article/auti...

finished Giorgio De Maria's excellent novel The Twenty Days of Turin after being turned onto it by @nightelectricity.com. truly fantastic weird horror from 1975 that is absolutely and uncannily prescient about social media. we're talking Kojima levels of prescience or beyond. highly recommended!

Help Nikki just turned into the T-1000 from Terminator 2 #InfinityNikki

i constantly think about this post

I’m liking Katabasis so far but the discourse online about it being like “ugh I’m supposed to know about classic literature and stuff before reading this?” is some weird anti-intellectualism shit

once again tapping the sign

Whatever is going to happen is going to happen whether or not we are scared or brave, anxious or calm. So we might as well show up however we can, the best we can.

I never really understood that phrase “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” but I do know having a bird in the hand is pretty freakin cute

Opinion | To be autistic in the NDIS machine is about as fun as being autistic in a Chemist Warehouse ... despite all the signs saying "AWESOME DEAL", you know you're being somehow taken advantage of.

It’s interesting how the term “Weekend At Bernie’s” has persisted for so long in our culture despite the fact that I’m not sure anyone ever watched the movie

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Did he think they called him a lesbian so he got worked up over those crocodiles again?

“How am I gonna explain butterflies to my kids!?”

As a teen I had to explain to a group of my peers that they didn’t teach the dog in Men in Black to move its mouth, they used CGI to make it talk. So a lot of people have always just been really dumb about movies.

"dark academia" do you mean middle school

Would really love some of that good old fashioned immediate wide scale structural change for the better where everybody's needs are met and everyone can meaningfully thrive without fear of bigotry or threats to our lives. Sure would hit the fucking spot.

Horror can be cathartic. Horror can be subversive. It can help us understand the human experience. It can help us shine a light on beliefs and norms and systems that cause people pain. It can help us find strength. It can expand our consciousness. Horror can be so many things.

I’m sorry Ms. Jackson (oooh) I am

As someone who has muscle memory for the em-dash keyboard shortcut, I take offence at the claim that you can tell writing is AI if it contains em-dashes. Some of us are just naturally insufferable

i'm the guy who invented the spike traps that pop out of temple walls. i hate my job. every day my boss says "why haven't we killed any archeologists" and i say "they haven't invented that yet." they pay me in tomb juice. i hate tomb juice. honestly i might just start working on my big boulder idea

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

A psychic on TikTok said “it” would happen today and I haven’t wanted to believe in magic this bad since I was a teenager

Proud of you Brisbane 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼

Paramedic: keep applying pressure Parenting Coach: but also say how proud you are

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

My timeline did a thing

Spring gremlin mode has been activated

I could never be a mother because if anyone ever referred to me and my child as “mum and bub” it would give me such an ick that I would toss the child aside like a quokka fleeing from predators

good evening

I have never been more targeted in my entire fucking life

They're definitely hiding Dracula.
