Was just dancing in the kitchen with the cat and he messed up our routine so I accused him of having two left feet which wasn't quite the insult I'd intended as that's a perfectly reasonable number of left feet for a cat to have.

Update: Men keep complimenting my comfy, floral dresses. We've had this ALL WRONG.

I think it's overstated that people don't respond to facts and logic. Trouble is, you have to dig through a lot ridicule, intimidation, and emotionality before you get anywhere near anyone's actual framework. (Assuming your framework is as factual and as logical as you'd like to think.)

Last night, while we were watching X-Files, the shower turned on by itself. Someone up there has a sense of humor.

Russia who? Lorna Feijoo and Rolando Sarabia for National #Ballet of Cuba. I don't even particularly like this piece, but they brought it to life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhQa...

SSI's asset limit is $2,000. It hasn't been updated since 1989. Saving disqualifies you. Working past a threshold disqualifies you. Getting married can disqualify you. This is not a design flaw. It is the design. stimpunks.org/philosophy/d...

Gave a cashier the wrong change today. That's my day ruined! (She was nice, at least.)

"I love all the Doctors, but I've lost count now of how many of them there are." #DoctorWho

Unhoused ND folks "described patterns of persistent exclusion—starting in early life—that had paved the way to homelessness. Once in need of housing support, they found significant barriers to accessing services that had been designed by/for neurotypical people.” theconversation.com/how-gaps-in-...

This is a good video to watch if you're trying to find your #Enneagram type. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KulH...

They pin the word unstable to you like a specimen tag and call the job done. Labels fold you flat, neat enough to stack. Stigma is arithmetic , reduce a life to a hazard, subtract nuance until it fits the margin. Hope becomes a prescribed item ,

Everyone has a Doctor Who opinion, so here are mine! If/when the show comes back, this is what I think it needs to be...

Facebook, Instagram & FB Messenger are down globally.

For us, autism doesn't feel like some detachable defect. Take it away – and you don’t leave me (just improved). You change who I am. This feeling isn’t limited to one ‘type’ of autistic person. Across support needs, most autistic people say the same (refs at the end). 2/11

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

What does a "good life" look like for autistic kids (and adults)? Well, we can guarantee that if you don't ask autistic people themselves, you're probably going to miss the mark. Thankfully researchers DID ask autistic people, and their parents. Here's what they reported: osf.io/preprints/os...

had never seen this one and it's killing me

Earth, The Milky Way is a deeply unserious address for a planet. Imagine having to read that out loud to the Galactic Council. Yes, like the dirt. We call our moon The Moon.

I had blood drawn today. That was an ordeal. Why can't the people who work in healthcare be as kind and patient as the people who work at The Family Dollar? Seriously, WHY?

Can't wait for a whole new paradigm to come along. These ones suck. (We were all thinking it.) (Mostly about each other.)

Autistic distress is often treated as “behaviour.” But behaviour is the surface. Underneath it may be sensory overload, loss of agency, fear, exhaustion, pain, shame, or years of being misunderstood. If you only respond to behaviour, you miss the human being.

Me: *likes a linen dress* Insta: Oh, are you a tradwife? Here are some people who hate you! Me: I'm not...Are you even going to show me these tradwives? Insta: Nope! Just the hate!

For many disabled people, including veterans and trauma survivors, emotional support animals help them remain connected to their communities. Now Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says it will stop enforcing this protection under the Fair Housing Act. Read More: dredf.org/huds-esa-pol...

Amazing what difference good weather makes to my mood. I’m basically just a plant with notions.

Ever since I lost my cat, my home, my father, and all the other things I've lost, I feel the way I felt as a child when I couldn't find my security blanket. It's not panic attacks. Nothing dramatic. But it's all the time.

Here dead lie we because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young. A. E. Housman

The only people who ever follow me are angry leftists. But I don't always agree with the left. So I feel hated by and a little frightened of everyone who follows me.

I hate how sensitive I am. A person doesn't even have to be all that rude to ruin my whole week. And there's nothing my rational self can say to my emotional self to put me right.

Like a blind influencer (Youtube) recently referred to blindness as her superpower. I don't know what happened in the comments, but...I understood her. Don't you? I can't see any reasonable person taking that statement literally.

Instagram won't stop showing me derisive political memes and there's no way to filter it out. I'm there for ballet and my friends' pet photos, not to be bullied.

A librarian said she liked my dress and all I can think about is the time I was accidentally rude to her.

I'm reading the loveliest novel, translated from Spanish. For years, I avoided translated literature, because I didn't feel I was reading the actual work. Now think I think of it as a collaboration. A meeting of two cultures. There's beauty in that, too.

lost & found this wall 💫

Someone should tell Democrats and Republicans that they're all just bullying the Autistics. Heal the world.

Update: I didn't make any friends, but a stranger did reply to tell me my interests are rubbish. Thanks, internet!

This never works, but if you're into #MyersBriggs, #Enneagram, or #ballet, please follow me so I can talk more about those things.

Green: As far as I’m aware the only reason there were 2 separate diagnoses is so that some autistics could get sent away to be murdered by N**is. We got that separate diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome because Asperger noted some of his autistic patients could be put to work instead of murdered. 116/

Green: The #neurodiversity paradigm is not anti-science, but denying the natural diversity of human neurology absolutely is, and focusing on eradication is eugenics. That is what that word is there to describe. 109/

Green: Autistic people hate Autism Speaks. They still raise tens of millions a year? They’re hardly struggling. All the autistic-run orgs are scrappy little underdogs compared to these people. Like, can you please wake me up when our supposed powers to stop research dead with a tweet kick in? 86/
