User “possumdementhe” is adding people to libelous lists they keep making for carrying out targeted harassment. Good luck with that, pal. 🙄

I’m excited for the Stargate fans out there getting a new series announcement, and remain faithful that the Expanse will get its story continued onscreen someday

お散歩いったよ

Maybe I should replay Persona 5 sometime.

Me vibing to Romani folk music

this has been the wildest aspect of my experience growing up autistic and developing a special interest in communication the number of NT friends I have who come to me for help parsing relationship problems is nuts because I had to learn on purpose what a lot of people don't really study at all

Of course the present from my partner that will be the hardest not to open early when I get it is the Christmas present, which is a box set of the entire series of The Expanse.

Blocking a trans person because they’re being an ass to you is not being anti-trans oh my God. I would’ve blocked that person if they were a white cis person! I have a right to block and not put up with hateful behavior.

But I am le tired

“Stop making autism your whole identity!” Sorry, I’ll try not to let this condition that impacts everything about me influence my sense of self 🙄 /s #Autistic

This dude ended up being my favorite character in The Expanse even though he died in the same episode he premiered in. He's the exact opposite of the characters I usually like (usually introvert characters I relate to). For whoever wants to read about what my brain won't shut up about. #TheExpanse

We’re not cutting corners. Posts are public, whether you’re blocking them or not. There are several sites you can see all posts without being logged in.

Yeah mintpossum has a record of particularly bizarre conduct

Calmed down a bit after venting to a few friends about the situation. Just not a fan of people saying an autistic trans person doesn't care about trans people because they post a lot about their special interest.

Agreed. So many people completely lose it when they get a notification that someone doesn't want to see their posts. I never used it because I really don't need a notification that someone blocked or added me to a list.

You don't need to handle this moment of distress "perfectly." Or "elegantly." Or w/ a great attitude. If you're struggling in this moment, all you ever have to do is your best w/ the tools & bandwidth you have right now. That's it. This is not a performance. Just get through it.

Someone who is complaining about being put on a blocklist did not get the reference. expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Slow_zo...

Clearly a typo.

This morning was a bit rough due to someone being rude to me and assuming stuff about me (my nervous system does not know the difference between someone being rude to me and a nuclear bombing at my location) but feeling better when I saw my gifs were accepted. Just one left in the queue.

Someone expressing disagreement in not-generally-or-deliberately-harmful ways can trigger a trauma response or something like rejection sensitivity. The person experiencing this is legitimately emotionally experiencing the same thing as if someone cussed them out or threatened them.

is that autistic person being condescending, or are you just insecure and defensive about it? let's discuss

🚨 Service Alert: Cloudflare Outage Impact We are currently being affected by the widespread Cloudflare outage impacting services globally. If you are experiencing slow loading, errors (like 500 errors), or intermittent connectivity, this is the cause. #Clearsky

Distraction is absolutely a legit coping tool in realistic trauma recovery. Don't think you have to meet everything head on, full speed, at all times-- it's just real important we don't substitute constant, desperate distraction for acknowledging & processing feelings & memories.

Me: *Trying to help someone understand why a website is not working, likely to do with Cloudflare not working* Them: *Accuses me of being condescending* Whatever. I was trying to be helpful. I am the exact opposite of condescending. Makes me never want to try and help someone I don't know again.

Maybe I should try this the next time I'm in Sweden during the late fall or winter.

My autism is off the charts. So much stimming lmao Also I had the honor of being Donny’s first interviewee after his wedding. 🥳

I see Cloudflare is having issues this morning, which is also causing various websites to not work.

Clearsky is not a service supported by Bluesky or some big company! It’s a project by @thieflord.dev and it’s very nice of him to spend his time and effort on it! And y’all should be fucking grateful and nice about it.

A looottttaaaa people in replies complaining and being down right nasty about a free service that someone has dedicated a ton of their time to simply to help you have more transparency about your account, which they absolutely did not have to do! Y’all have an astonishing sense of entitlement!

New dot hatched today. Rescued dot was from the physical therapy place. #PlayPeridot #Niantic

Having the internet is truly something special for a neurodivergent weirdo like me. The autistic traits and behaviors that I had to try to hide as a kid because they were too weird are now things I'm surrounded by every day. I'm not alone, and it's a comfort

While I can just kinda go off and enjoy the game myself, I continue to grow frustrated with how much you will get downright harassed for even mentioning Palworld in any Nintendo spaces. Genuinely, try it. You will get shit on by swaths of Pokémon fans parroting the same things. That’s my issue.

Overfunctioning to the point of exhaustion is a very effective way to guarantee we won't be able to protect ourselves when we need to. Trauma Brain's insistence that overfunctioning somehow keeps us "safe" is a lie. It never did keep us safe-- not really.

The two Panzer Dragoon gifs I uploaded after my Manéo gifs got approved quickly, but the other recently uploaded gifs are still pending and all are related to The Expanse. Hopefully those also get approved. If not, I will be sad because I wasted time making them.

The belt needs you! #poster #design #opa #theexpanse #inkscape #posterdesign

It isn't just the big traumatic events that impact our ability to cope and function. Small traumas, such as barriers, micro-aggressions, and unexpected friction also have an impact. Worse, we never face only one of these at a time, but rather the sum of them all together

My partner's birthday present for me arrived a few days ago, but I'll wait until my birthday next month to I open it. It's a sequel to a video game I liked (especially petting cute things + photo mode).

Some abled parents of disabled people are the most violent ableists. They use their children as tools to demonstrate their heroism in shouldering the burden of taking care of a disabled person, think they’re incapable of ableism, and say the experience of a caretaker is the same as being disabled.

We are committed to the principle of least privilege. In light of the recent information and discussion, once the Bluesky documentation and implementation is complete for OAuth permissions, we will change to the appropriate least permissive set of permissions. Stay tuned. #Clearsky

What's a movie you never tire of?
