I totally didn’t text my gaming best friend at 12:15am or so saying “i wanna fight the headless horseman and get a special achievement” totally didn’t do that.

Atlas Has Returned. And I bring personal updates: - Currently playing FFXIV, Risk of Rain 2, Deadlock, and Skyrim. - Currently hyperfixated on A Thousand Suns (Linkin Park album) and Mt. Everest (which we are ALL pronouncing wrong). - GRADUATING IN A YEAR IF I’M LUCKY - Did more advocacy.

"ABA therapy does not teach children to be typical. It teaches children to act 'normal,' all the while inhibiting them from finding their own normal." From @cosmichael.bsky.social, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2018/05/why-... #autism #autistic #BetterWaysThanABA

I totally buy and receive books as gifts! I’ve been enjoying books on writing, the bands I listen to, and autistic topics since last year, and I hope to gain more knowledge this year!! #SpoonieAuthChat

It’s been a while since I’ve logged onto bsky but. In April, for my birthday, QB, another irl friend, and I decided to try EX trials. QB was already familiar, Caalun (other friend’s IGN) and I were not. Long story short, Caalun has been away for a while but QB and I have formed a raid static.

"We believe that Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) & Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) are inherently flawed approaches, & that ND people (including people with learning disabilities), along with their families & carers, deserve better." @ndconnection.bsky.social: ndconnection.co.uk/against-pbs-...

Feels bad man…

TFW I have to start filtering political keywords (read: t and m's names) because I cannot handle hearing the news at all lately. It's frustrating. I like knowing things, but this is just too much.

The op-ed that got her kidnapped. Seems like the content must be important if she got kidnapped over it.

We need more art, history and social science about autism and less genetic studies.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE AND AMAZING OPPORTUNITY😭😭😭😭

As of recently I’m playing FFXIV again. Guess we’ll see how far my quest buddy and I get before the interest or scheduling dies down again XD

DAMN DOMINOS 😭🤣💀

Semester’s in full swing and I have: - A professor who is/was in a Canadian indie rock band. - A professor who is a medieval scholar but was once an elementary school teacher. - An instructor whose academic interests match mine almost perfectly. - A professor who makes ethnographic documentaries.

how could i forget to show off my new totoro plushie that i got today?! doesn’t he look so cute next to my lil egg? 😋

liberal neurodiversity advocates are the same people who have supported and staffed the offices of the democratic senators who bend to the wills of the billionaires. their accomplishments? some, yet few they'd have you believe they invented advocacy, however. and that radicals should be quiet

We’re often told we lack empathy, but often, it’s the opposite. Autistic humans often over-empathize, mimicking and feeling others' emotions to survive. It’s time we start prioritizing our own emotional needs.

Did the Ketamine wear off, or did you finally realize you blew $40 billion on a troll-infested hellscape? The vibes on BlueSky right now: Chef’s Kiss 👌

Saw this video of a teacher flipping out at a high school class because he's so sick and tired of hearing "Skibidi this and that"... as a teacher for many years, if you want a distracting meme to die, just use it in your lesson once in front of the class. *Poof* no more. They won't use it again

I just saw this bumper sticker on the Long Island Expressway. People are beginning to realize that tariffs are actually import taxes paid by American consumers.

I see a lot of beauty when people advocate for neurodiversity (the concept that the diversity of human minds is both natural and valuable) because it communicates: - my mind is open - I see you - you’re not broken - I want society to be better #autism #AuDHD #neuro-observant

Ady’s organization @beaheroaction.bsky.social continues to live on.

From @ennui365

The GOP let Elon Musk take money from pediatric cancer research and 9/11 first responders and people who were affected by an act of terrorism. It will only get worse. Everyone must speak out.

By stopping vaccines we will see a tremendous drop in cases of autism, but not because they are connected, only because more people will die, autistic or not.

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do: 1. Be promiscuous in using that card 2. Go to board meetings 3. Join the Friends 4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones 5. Donate

Being autistic online is just being a reply guy and/or entertaining reply guys until it somehow blossoms into a friendship

Midnight game launches. Bring ‘em back. Publicly celebrate this art form. Don’t abandon physical game releases. Hollywood didn’t abandon theatrical releases. (See Moana 2’s box office) People don’t just play n’ forget videogames. They want to be able to collect a cart or a disc and Play Forever

What didn’t kill me didn’t make me stronger. It gave me crippling anxiety, a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, some really nasty nightmares, the ability to drink enough caffeine to kill a horse, and made me into a cynic who cusses way more than necessary.

I've seen "Elonezer Scrooge" used a few times and I think it's pretty great, not sure who came up with that one

I always want to bring you HOPE. I look to people like Bernice King who I admire. After surviving chronic illnesses, 10 surgeries (11 coming up soon) and fighting cancer twice & living with disabilities, I NEED hope too. I will keep fighting & NEVER GIVE UP!🙏💜

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark on the looming government shutdown: "And what for? Because Elon Musk, an unelected man, said we're not doing this deal and Donald Trump followed along." We all know who's running the show, and it's not Donald.

copaganda.

Yep. (from Ireland) You call this, 'Truth, Justice and the American way'? The guys saved countless lives. Deserves a medal not a jail term. #freeluigi

Why??? Is he getting death threats? Or are they elevating the status of some guy because he was a billionaire?
