One of my favorite things about Jon is how quickly and sloppily he spirals after Jane Prentiss. There was no grace about it, he went from being a snobby academic to hiding in his coworkers’ bushes and exploring secret tunnels with only a flashlight and kitchen knife. He waisted zero time with becoming fully paranoid
BBC MERLIN but what if they could say fuck? ➛ Season 1, Episode 01: “The Dragon’s Call”
I love how Arthur enjoys the talk backs; the way he says “you can’t address me like that”..he’s already in love

there’s a city in my mind, come along and take that ride and it’s all right, baby it’s all right
[ID: two colourful gifs of david byrne in the “road to nowhere” music video. he is wearing a grey blazer, a red striped tie, and white pants, and is seated in an ornate chair against a predominantly purple painted background. the scene has been stop motion animated so that everything is moving and changing. there are pounding speakers, rotating stars, and moving bananas on the wall. he is surrounded by various objects and shapes including cutouts of animals, angel figurines, apples, and a globe. on his suit jacket are two eyes which blink/wink throughout, and several colourful cutouts of star explosions appear and disappear on him. the stripes of his tie move downwards. on top of the whole scene, in the bottom right corner, is rectangular close up clip of his mouth as he sings, with footage of him running animatedly imposed on top. /end ID.]
I think it’s time for me to go out and touch some grass… 🌱

watch out for that autistic boy. his stim is killing maiming and decapitation
this whole estate sale thing has reignited my love of garage sales and knickknack exchanges
i grew up non religious/culturally chinese pagan-ish (idk what do you count not going to regular worship but still having fruit altars around the house) and more or less all of my friends as a child were hindu/muslim/sikh so i need to ask yall a potentially dumb question:
do you need to belong to a church in order to go to a local parish bazaar/bbq? it didn't say on the flyer and i'm a little afraid to ask
hmm okay from the notes it looks like i'd be good to go i don't mind being proselytized to if I can get a nice look-over on some tchotchkes and a cheap/free burger out of it
edit: for context they've been advertising the Saturday bazaar/BBQ on flyers taped to telephone poles all over the neighbourhood
update: oh holy god there is so much food. Our parish seems to be made of majority Filipino, Indian and Caribbean folks I've been here like 15 minutes and have eaten SO MUCH meat and rice and eggs and garlic already
will update with all the fun knickknacks I buy from the bazaar
There's Gangnam style blaring from speakers and I'm watching my halo halo being made
ok i return!
i limited myself to ten dollars total spent on tchotchkes, so here we have the items!
i got some fun lil borbs, a skull necklace, and this semi-transparent scarf/shawl that was bought 50% cuz it slaps and 50% me realizing i forgor to put on sunscreen before heading out for the morning
every time i see art of Michael with flowers i think of mrs fruit in the pale yellow dress and the pink flowers in mr spider and i point empbatically like aHA you see
the funniest thing ever just happened to me
im changing my name purely bc i don’t like it and we just told my family like a month ago. i haven’t been home since then but today i got back and my (extremely country) uncle gives me a pat on the back and goes “so i hear you’re my nephew now. proud of you, son” and i have to very gently say i am so so happy to hear that but i am still his niece just with a cooler name. and he throws his hat down on the table and goes “no! but ive been practicing!” so now he is calling me his nephew for fun

Okay but like talking about Sheldon. Because I've seen some people use him as an example of the stereotype people have in mind when they insist that autism isn't a disability. But like Sheldon is disabled. He would probably never admit it, but he is. Like look it's been years since I've watched that show but okay just looking at the Roommate Agreement thing on the wiki:
- Leonard drives him to work and all his appointments. He depends on another person for regular and important transport, and this is so necessary that he felt the need to write it into a contract.
- Leonard must provide a "confirmation sniff" for questionable dairy products. This shows a large degree of concern about such things and/or difficulty telling for himself whether something is edible.
- Various parts indicate serious trouble dealing with change, such as certain nights being reserved for specific activities, advance notification of house guests, and a complicated process to select a new takeout restaurant.
- It is written specifically that once a day Sheldon must ask how Leonard is. He needs this prompt to engage in basic social niceties. This reminds me that a running joke was him asking about the "social protocol" for situations.
- There are specific clauses specifying sensory needs, such as control of the thermostat and banning loud events.
Now obviously he goes about dealing with this in a selfish and coercive way, but these are not the actions of a well functioning person who just has preferences, these are signs of someone who needs proper accommodations and understanding. And he doesn't mask well either, just about everyone who interacts with him thinks there's something wrong with him.
If this is your image of the autistic people who it's somehow fair to say aren't disabled...you have a skewed view of disability and you're erasing a lot of people's struggles.
i hope all ai users go to hell no matter what
can someone tell me what's up with my minecraft? is this a new update or something?
Wow, your house sure is weird...
At the center of Shenker-Osorio’s work is the notion of “persuadability.” For Shenker-Osorio, a “centrist” isn’t someone who wants a little bit of both; they’re someone who hasn’t made up their mind about which option they prefer.
To illustrate this point, Shenker-Osorio asks us to imagine a family trying to decide what to order for dinner. Some members of the family want pizza, others want burgers.
Could that family be satisfied with a pizzaburger?
The point is, the family is undecided . It’s not that they want to converge on a compromise solution that mixes the two options. That won’t please everyone — it pleases no one.
