Autistic mood of the day: am I actually handling a bad situation better than I expected or am I incapable of recognising my negative emotions?

Ashlynn Ella doesn't love shoes because she's the daughter of Cinderella, she loves shoes because she's neurodivergent and her special interest is shoes. Next question.

Do you guys think Muriel would like outer space? Like in the modern sense of it I guess. Like do you think he'd see pictures of space and just wonder? or that he'd see the planets in their full swirling glory and think it beautiful? It's so different from the forests and greenery that he tends to enjoy but it's so quiet up there…. a silence so deafening maybe even the thoughts would shut up.

Do you think he'd know about the telescopes? Hubble and Gaia and Astro and Euclid and Odin. About the Rovers? Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance, Yutu, Tenacious,

Like birds and dogs, across a desolate land wandering and exploring in the silence, and yet beloved for what little they seem to do.

Do you think he longs for the weightlessness of low gravity? Even if the idea of floating away feels scary, feels worrying do you think he'd still itch to experience it?

Do you think he got the love for stars from Asra, that he sees them and remembers their eyes from the color of the galaxies splashed across the night sky.

it must feel good as hell when you’re a horse and you take a big bite out of an apple like ttshoke

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:

They were free.

They were fucking free.

They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.

Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.

Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.

At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.

In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.

Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.

That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

Feminist fantasy is funny sometimes in how much it wants to shit on femininity for no goddamned reason. Like the whole “skirts are tools of the patriarchy made to cripple women into immobility, breeches are much better” thing.

(Let’s get it straight: Most societies over history have defaulted to skirts for everyone because you don’t have to take anything off to relieve yourself, you just have to squat down or lift your skirts and go. The main advantage of bifurcated garments is they make it easier to ride horses. But Western men wear pants so women wearing pants has become ~the universal symbol of gender equality~)

The book I’m reading literally just had its medievalesque heroine declare that peasant women wear breeches to work in the field because “You can’t swing a scythe in a skirt!”

Hm yes story checks out

peasant women definitely never did farm labour in skirts

skirts definitely mean you’re weak and fragile and can’t accomplish anything

skirts are definitely bad and will keep you from truly living life

no skirts for anyone, that’s definitely the moral of the story here

"women only want men for their money >:("

15,613 children were killed in cold blood in Gaza, but there are people and artists who did not forget these innocent children who had a future they dreamed of. The most prominent influencers who read the names of all the children in front of the Parliament building in London, which took 18 hours and they did not stop mentioning their names. By chance, while I was looking at the names of the children, I found many of those I know and I cried a lot,

but the sad thing is not here, but because my daughter Salma, who is in the picture, suffers from severe malnutrition and anemia, and the danger is increasing. Therefore, I strongly ask you to help her by donating.

My favourite Da Vinky twins trans ally moments:

When they said their pronouns are they/them because there’s 2 of them

“It doesn’t matter what your pronouns are, because at the end of the day, it’s night”
