Another hike?! And worse: a spontaneous one?! One I hadn’t mentally prepared for?! I didn’t have snacks! I panicked like Kendall Roy in the Succession finale. "But we don’t have any snacks! We don’t have salami!!" Total, “but I’m the eldest boy!” energy. purplevanillaworld.com/2025/10/01/w...

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 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 ✨

Singing "Mask the Pain Away" in the tune of Peaches iconic '00 bop

"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.

Was in such a good mood today then started reading the new HHS Budget in Brief 😒

Fellow Smilers, our girl has done it again. Something Beautiful on fucking repeat. I even hear it in my sleep.

Bummer Jerry Springer is dead :( he would've been a great addition to the current administration. Maury and Montel Williams are still up for grabs though! Thank the heavens.

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

Anyone else wake up excited when you know you have a new coffee creamer? Lol

Seeing our SAMHSA grant manager on the verge of tears for having survivor's guilt for being one of the few employees that didn't lose their job today nearly broke me. This is fucking criminal. Hug your federal public health worker friends extra tight today 💘

I accidentally Pavlov-ed my dogs to come inside the house by singing "Treats treats treats treats treats! Everyboday!" to the tune of "Shots" by LMFAO ft. Lil Jon

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.

The only BG3 achievement that matters

Fun fact: I painted my profile picture. She is me and I am her.

I miss my art-making phase. Patiently waiting for my digital art hyper fixation to return.
