everyone: “autistic people don’t like eye contact” me: stares so hard i forget the meeting exists

You try to speak. Only salt comes out. The house shakes its head. Thin staircases multiply. Every doorway is a mouth. ... Privacy is a rumor. The throat chokes and sprouts lies. You are a garden no one asked permission to plant. You are compostable. You are also carnivorous.

Chronic illness sucks, but so dope when she flares up just in time for a meeting I didn't want to go to. Like pop off, sis. Weaponize dat nervous system

Cookie Clicker always on because the music slaps

"I saw Cady Heron wearing FL-41s and ice packs, so I bought FL-41s and ice packs." A lil millennial diatribe about having an invisible illness and being asked "but like, have you tried yoga?" purplevanillaworld.com/2025/08/17/m...

I open Cookie Clicker at LEAST 20 times a day, yet it's never an option on my suggested apps?!? Wtf Android

Would be cool if even one terrible person faced consequences. But hey, dreamers gonna dream.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war. Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

My Purpose is to be a truth teller & break cycles. I outgrew the pot I was planted in. It shattered & I was thrust into unknown soil. It took years for the shock to wear off, but my roots are growing again and the soil is richer here. I'm not "fixed," but will keep advocating & growing for us ✨

"Can I have you, if I never let you down?"

My writing’s been pouring out of me lately, like a broken dam. Just wish my fingers could move as fast as my brain. These soulful little ramblings are piling up behind my teeth, like a little synaptic traffic jam

just a lil disabled girly who can’t be in the sun or around people for very long. a delicate vampiress hiding in her cool dark room, listening to Something Beautiful for the 1000th time.

If you haven’t played Gris, what are you even doing? It’s the most beautiful, emotionally charged game I’ve ever played. It didn’t just entertain me; it rewired something. It gave me hope. purplevanillaworld.com/2025/07/03/s...

Something in me snapped this week and now I can't stop listening to 2015 Justin Bieber. Send help.

PSA for all my sensory-sensitive gals: I switched from women’s panties to boxer briefs and the sensory relief is real. My comfort moving through the world (literally) has drastically improved. 10/10 recommend.

I almost failed AP English in HS because I didn't understand satire. Now the Onion is the only media outlet I trust. The arc is deranged but I'm proud of her.

The "cure" for autism is not a pill. It's an environment that stops trying to subjugate our brains and nervous systems. We don't need to be fixed. We need to be understood. We just need our habitat protected, respected, and restored.

Neurodivergents are endemic creatures. Beautiful. Sensitive. Necessary. Endangered not by existence, but by invasive systems.

You wouldn't try to "cure" a desert pupfish. You'd protect it's habitat. You'd understand it needs specific water conditions to thrive.

I am neurologically calibrated for a specific relational ecology. One that honors honesty, depth, pattern recognition, sensory balance, and sincerity. I am not dysfunctional. I am displaced.

AUTISM IS NOT A DISEASE.

Thank GOD the penguins are finally being taxed. Those waddling flightless dudes have really fucked over our economy for centuries.

Is it socially acceptable for a 30-something with no kids to go to Chuck E. Cheese on their lunch break just to play the giant Space Invaders game? …Asking for a friend.
