thinking about Elon Musk and his Neuralink.. He says he can "solve autism and schizophrenia" with it (source below).

These feel like lobotomies of the 21st century. The Neuralink procedure had already killed 1500 animals. Some monkeys suffered psychological trauma.

I'd like to reiterate to those unaware — THERE IS NO CURE FOR AUTISM OR SCHIZOPHRENIA. LOBOTOMIES DO NOT WORK. IT IS TORTURE AND ABUSE. We cannot let Neuralink continue to be tested, or else disabled people WILL be the ones subjected to these "treatments".

Unfortunately, they are only accepting disabled patients and have been accepted by the FDA for human trials. Do not allow your loved ones to fall for this. This will end in disaster and harm. He also claims it will cure dementia and alzheimers, which is impossible. The only way to cure all of these conditions with one device is death. This is a horror movie

what it looks like during your first playthrough

playing far cry 5 for the millionth time and going through the whitetails with Jess (who I don’t usually take as a GFH) and I’m surprised by how often she brings up “her purpose” in her dialog lines and it got me thinking

Her life has been greatly affected by the cult, she has an intense hatred of Jacob and the Cook after the things they did to her family, and maybe after all that time spent fighting them, being in contact with them (and I’m sure being inundated with Jacob’s many speeches around the region) that maybe a little bit of the indoctrination has gotten to her on a subconscious level because if there’s one person who likes to talk about purpose it’s Jacob Seed

I love that too because then in new dawn the arrow character is judgment and is heavily implied to be the deputy from far cry 5. I definitely makes me think his training also got in on a subconscious level. Cull the herd.

USAmericans: This pride month, talk to the queer people who actually live in all those bad evil icky red states and find out what it's actually like, how we actually feel about it, and who here is actively fighting against it. No more telling us to "just leave" or reducing us to innocent victims who are "trapped" here. There are so many of us and we live here for so many reasons, none of which should be justified. We are resilient, we are powerful, and we are fighting against the fascist laws working to eradicate us or scare us away. Being trans in a red state right now is in and of itself an act of resistance. That being said, pay attention to the brave souls on the front lines, pushing against the laws, making good trouble, and refusing to be silenced.

I won't let myself be talked about like I'm stupid to live here.

I won't let myself be talked about like I'm a helpless victim who's trapped here.

If you can't join the fight by standing beside us, then the least you can do is empower us, amplify our voices, and pay more attention to the ones who are FIGHTING AGAINST THESE LAWS than you are to the chucklefucks trying to pass them.

fellow appalachian, I am holding your hand

Thank you for this. My partner and I had friends who had a cross burned in their yard. We deserve protection too. This war is fought by all queer people everywhere. All LGBTQ+ need too see that.

hobie motherfuckin' brown!!!!!!

Here's how you know I have been conditioned slightly by Far Cry 5.

I'm putzing around the Henbane. Have not gotten to Jacob's region yet. I just liberated an outpost and I hear 'Only You' on a radio nearby and I have a moment of a freeze response before I remember I haven't been trained yet 😆

Geeez

My friends used Only You as a happy song about their relationship. One of the wives had played Far Cry 5. I have never been more afraid of them sense

PSA for Across the Spiderverse:

Do NOT see the new Spiderverse movie if you have any form of epileptic condition or conditions affected by bright lights and rapidly changing colors.

I will not be spoiling the plot or anything happening in it, but it is important that people know, because ohhh my god the AMOUNT of flashing lights and rapidly changing colors from beginning to end was so rampant that even I, a non-epileptic autistic person, got a severe headache and wild overstimulation. They do not give a warning in theaters at all that this movie is NOT epileptic friendly from the literal beginning with the beginning credits - which is so, so sad!

This is a beautifully made film, it's wonderful, it's amazing, but unfortunately, it's not a good time for anyone super affected by bright flashing lights in rapid succession, especially those seizure prone.

I wanted to put this out there BECAUSE there are no theater warnings. Idk if anyone else has put it out there, but it is SUPER IMPORTANT!!!

I wish you all a lovely day and hope they eventually have a remaster that will be much more friendly to epileptic and other people affected by bright, flashing lights.

(EDIT: Changed all text to plain text for screen readers! Sorry about that, my bad!)

SECOND EDIT: please do not fight in the comments of my post please... if you guys wanna talk stuff out in DMs, that is a-okay and not my business but I directly get notifications for everyone's comments and replies- including people fighting in the comments.

I understand that some theaters have warnings in them. Mine did not, and many other peoples' did not. It seems to be a theater by theater basis, so please understand that is where I'm coming from. If you had a warning in your theater, that is wonderful! And I'm very grateful that ya'lls theaters had warnings! That is a great sign. But please under stand that mine and many others' theaters don't have warnings.

Please take any arguments off my post, it is not meant to be grounds for heated discussion, just a warning for people who are photosensitive or epileptic. Thank you.

Not Such a Good Boy

A short little Boomer fic about the saddest times of the goodest boy

Summary: Boomer was a good boy. He’d been told so his whole life, and he’d rarely ever doubted it. Only three times had Boomer felt like a bad dog, like a dog who had failed. Like a dog who wasn’t a protector, a hero, a champion. Like on the day the bad man came.

Boomer was a good boy. He’d been told so his whole life, and he’d rarely ever doubted it. Only three times had Boomer felt like a bad dog, like a dog who had failed. Like a dog who wasn’t a protector, a hero, a champion.

Once, when Ryan was a puppy, just learning how to walk on two legs, he fell down the stairs. He was napping in his bed and woke without them hearing. While Boomer, Russell, and Rae-Rae sat in the living room, watching TV, Ryan attempted to toddle down to join them, but lost his footing in the end, taking the last few stairs all at once. Russell and Rae-Rae rushed him to the doctor, and Boomer stayed behind, pacing nervously, consumed with worry.

Human puppies were so fragile. What if he was really hurt? Boomer should have known. His hearing was so much stronger than Russell and Rae-Rae’s. He should have heard Ryan moving around up there. He should have been there to help him down the stairs.

In the end, it was fine. Ryan wasn’t hurt, just scared. He learned how to walk like a human eventually, and he continued to grow up just fine. But that had been one of the worst days of Boomer’s life.

Until the day the bad man came.

like to charge reblog to cast

Could you imagine though. that the remaining employees are like, March 15th everybody. That's it. we're doing this. It'll be funny too.

respect psychotic folk by realizing that none of the things listed are too much to ask for, and that it takes no effort from your side to not be sanist.

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

This happens to me a lot when I go to Walmart. You are certainly not bad for needing a break

I drew this back in early 2019 and always meant to run some stickers or something. Maybe this year I'll finally get around to doing that! Who wants a little Weighted Blanket Ghost of their own?

Video essays that make me go "oh, so you're like smart smart"

Saving this for myself

if you have hallucinations and/or delusions i love you. youre not bad or evil, and struggling to tell what's real or fake isnt a personal flaw. you deserve happiness and safety, you deserve to be listened to and taken seriously, and you deserve a loving group of people who will support you and treat you well.
