#This is really a social medium

[amaliazeichnerin]

If you are considering to join the Fediverse (often also refered to as Mastodon) and don't know where to get started, here is good non-technical guide for newbies.

In terms of my personal interests, I can say that in the Fediverse there are also authors, artists/illustrators, editors, reading fans and other bookish folks, goths, vegans, pagans, modern witches … There are also many activists for social justice and environmental/climate protection, as well as journalists and other people who write about political issues.

Here are the main advantages of the Fediverse: ✅ It's not owned by one big company, but dezentralized. ✅ No ads (That is, only personal ads by small businesses, artists etc. not by big companies) ✅ No algorithms (Everything is shown chronologically.) ✅You can put clickable hyperlinks into your posts. ✅ You can easily integrate ALT-text into pictures (which is common practice there.) ✅ You can add content warnings to your posts (and you should) ✅ Trolls, spammers, scammers, bigots, extremists etc. can be reported easily and will be blocked by admins. ✅ You can add a small video or up to four images to a post. ✅ Depending on the instance that you choose, you can write short or longer texts (for instance on mastodon.social up to 500 letters per post, on pagan.plus 5000 letters). You can also do threads. ✅ You can easily follow hashtags, so use them. ✅ You can filter words or hashtags, so that respective posts are not shown to you, or only with a warning (you can choose in the settings) ✅You can choose how you want to present a post: Publicly, semi-publicy, only for followers or as a personal message to a single person or to a few people. ✅ You can comment and share posts of others, if their post is public. ✅There are lots of instances in the Fediverse. Some are about a region, others about a certain topic, for instance for queer folks, literature, IT or else.

Love staring at people. The more I stare at you, the more I love you and find you so interesting and cool. It's like absorbing vibes, I don't know how to describe it.

the sooner you all accept that 99% of actors are entitled nepobabies with weird beliefs and despicable friends and learn to enjoy the stories they tell anyway the sooner you'll find inner peace

Review of the Tumblr incel tag:

- lots of fandoms/artists doing incel aus as an excuse to draw their oc/blorbo in glasses and getting bullied, here 'incel' is more used as a synonym for 'nerd'

- women/feminists posting screenshots of incel posting and saying they want to kill men underneath them

- lots of tongue-in-cheek posts of girls posting cute selfies and going "nooooooo I'm such an incel 🤪"

-a frankly concerning amount of posts fantasizing about raping/getting raped by an incel. I'd say this is the majority of the tag by a comfortable margin.

- <1% actual incels posting incel things

was rewatching the pilot again yesterday for fic reasons and thinking again about the sherlock-style screen annotations they had when barry was doing CSI work that they literally only did in the first ep and then never revisited again, presumably because they realized it'd be far too much effort to work out the details on such a precise level

and thinking about like. that barry allen with the hyper-precise exact measurements that he did by eye (with joe shaking his head in awe so you know that he's a CSI supergenius) vs. the leonard snart who timed his heists to the exact nanosecond (which again, presuming they ditched because it's a logistical nightmare to write dialogue that nitpicky and obsessive, and would be such a fucking pain to do on a week-to-week basis). like. yet another reason they are soulmates tbh. is audhd4autistic a thing the same way t4t is a thing? if it isn't then i'm making it a thing

if youre wondering what criteria i use to decide to tag/categorize something as either painting or illustration, the answer is that it's almost completely arbitrary

If Jane Austen could write about my family from the outside and I could read it then maybe I would be healed.

it is so unbelievably fucked up when an artist doesnt have a tumblr because i cant reblog their art again when i think about it randomly three months later. i cant even look in my beautifully curated character tags, im going to have to scour through my instagram saves in my fandom folder and repost it to my story to be seen by no one for 24 hours like some kind of fucking ANIMAL

I wish I was not an unintelligent manchild.

Feel like a big reason that I can’t relate to a lot of other autistics with social issues is:

Always explained in metaphors for some reason which is tricky with brain.

Not usually consciously aware of how I’m different. Aware that am different, but can’t name a lot of specifics besides being MSN. Still very hard for me to understand that not everyone has the same brain as me.

I can’t read other people well enough to realize that they’re feeling upset at my social issues a lot of the time. Seems like there’s lots of tiny cues I just miss, I can tell with bigger cues like sighing or moving away or going silent, but I can’t usually tell with micro cues. So I kinda assume everyone loves me and thinks I’m awesome, and if they don’t, I get deeply confused.

I’m not very self aware. Don’t really notice my behavioral patterns (this also means big struggle to change them). Don’t realize if am being unusual unless people point it out a lot, and can’t usually stop without trauma (though some minor exceptions).

I was really proud of this so decided to post

[from stream] I suppose it should be no sorrow that my declining romantic interest is related to his propensity to clarify his epistemic voids.

Christ on a stick, I'm really laying it on thick here. Fine! I feel sad reading some of webdev guy's opinions. It does interrupt my work and design ideas. But I'm not going to just slam the door in his face. It's whatever! Everyone's got an opinion!

they weren’t lying, that going outside, talking to people, going on a walk to get a little drink from the gas station really helps your mental health
