This is my main blog, I also keep:

Polymath PITA (I’m still convinced after all these years that I can teach myself German again so I might as well keep trying.)

International Bear Bureau (Yes, we do in fact need another bear meme blog on tumblr.)

Hearth Enchanter (I am a hellenic polytheist and this is where I keep that stuff. Also hello srs bsns neopagans, it is I an academically based recon pagan who started on witchblr, do not be afraid.)

Big Snake Appreciation Zone (Metal Gear??? Ray is my son 😭 I think I am make this into my original content blog idk.)

Ace Femslash (Ace Attorney is the best and femslash is the best so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

~ Birds of all Sorts but especially those with Cool Hats ~ Disco Elysium (do not buy it, capitalists have control of actively stole the IP on purpose and are taking all the profits) ~ Star Trek ~ if ur socioeconomic theory doesn’t actively consider the support needs of all (ALL: yes those ones) disabled people, leave now and forever hold your peace ~ writing is a fuck ~ lying on the ground makes good art but what if ppl think im weird ~ A perfect son, perfectly made, apportioned for greatness by a surrogate father who knows him not. Loved by his people deeply but always at a distance that they can’t understand. He notices, because he will never truly be one of them. Only a protector, a guardian, detached and observant like his father before him. ~ Rats (including but not limited to capy)

Feel free to send me asks/messages. I‘m always down to fangirl conspicuously.

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Coming to the realisation that my lifestyle of working a full-time job is actually destroying my autistic self.

Don't be me, kids. I got diagnosed late. My life was set up assuming I was just a broken neurotypical and I'm stuck. Unless I want to lose everything, which would be worse.

Be wise in your job choices (if you are in the minority of Autistics that can work). Treat yourself as autistic now, even if you're self-diagnosed or unsure.

Don't set up your life like a broken person.

How do you set your life up as an autistic person?

I never did... So I don't know.

But I can tell you not to live your life telling yourself to just push harder, work more, leave your sensory comfort zone.

Accommodate the hell out of your life. You deserve it and need it.

It's.... well, I don't want to start on a pity party rant. Just, if I had known as a teenager and been able to access resources so I could understand my own needs, I would have had such a better, happier life.

And now I am old and bitter, and trying to become more positive now I at least know what the problem is. (I've been failing as a neurotypical because I'm not in fact neurotypical, rather than because I am just thick. I mean, I'm still not clever, but my lack of intelligence isn't in of itself the issue.)

Now I am trying to find a way forward that allows for some accommodations but still pays the bills. I have no pearls of wisdom for you. Other than; if you think, as a teenager (hopefully) you are not 'right', fight to get help. Maybe it's autism, maybe it's adhd, or ocd, or bpd, or any of the myriad other conditions that come under the neurospicy banner. At least the internet is available for researching. That wasn't a Thing yet, when I was growing up.

Yup. I'm 40. I got bills and mortgage and all that stuff.

I don't have an answer. But I know I'm not living it.

I don't want sympathy. I want to see others like me thrive.

My biggest thing was realizing that a regular career wasn’t going to work for me. Even auti-curious, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and The idea of needing to show up anywhere for 8 hours straight is awful to me. I’ve been exploring what flexible work looks like and how I might be able to reach milestones i want to but on my terms. Once I realized it became my utmost priority. I’m fortunate to have very little tying me down right now but at 28 and with my friends having kids it’s rough to feel like I’m still in high school/college trying to put together how to make my life work.

India totally fucks with statistics imo. Remember the whole T-Series vs. PewDiePie situation and fucking nobody outside of India had even heard of T-Series, let alone subscribed to them.

Not to discount Indian people but I think it's worthwhile to essentially remove them from stats, similar to bots. Or at the very least set them aside, identify them, label them as distinct from the rest, whatever. They completely skew what would otherwise be normally distributed results.

They skew results because there are a lot of them. If you're attempting to measure something on a worldwide scale, excluding a country that makes up something like 17% of the world population is the absolute last thing you want to do.

"Not to discount Indian people but..." [compares us to bots] 🫠

My guy, I'm SO sorry you're having an "I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me" moment here, but I need you to understand that you cannot just Spiders Georg away the existence of 1.8 billion brown people

"'Average person is not a white western male' factoid actually just statistical error. Average person is actually very opinionated white libertarian gamer guy in United States of America. South Asians, who live on the Indian subcontinent and make up 23% of the world's population, are a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted."

This is my friend Rachel. Writer, teacher, Tarot interpreter, creator of magic.

May you, whoever you are, have a life like Rachel's, one that changes things for people, a life where you follow your star and leave a more interesting world behind you. And may you, like Rachel, never lose your sense of humour.

10 years ago today, the Doctor and Donna were reunited while investigating Adipose Industries in ‘Partners in Crime’!

this is still so fucking funny i’m sorry

Donna Noble wasn’t my favorite companion (I have highly complicated feelings about basically all of them—see Moffat‘s misogyny among other factors—so I tend to just say „I don’t have a favorite“ and leave it at that) but Catherine Tate is absolutely my favorite actress to have portrayed one. She played the role incredibly well.

Happy 15 years everyone!

Ron DeSantis just kidnapped a 13-year old boy.

Earlier this evening, at around 7 PM CT U.S., Rebekah Jones (notably one of DeSantis’ biggest political enemies right now) underwent a raid on her home by state police.

Guns were pointed in the face of her 13-year old son, Jack. They arrested him under the charges of digital terrorism and “on state orders.”

They are refusing to let him go home and they are refusing to let Jones see him.

These are her screenshots recounting the incident from earlier tonight. They were taken at 10:23 PM CT U.S.

Reblog. I don’t care who you are, reblog this. We have to make sure that this doesn’t get buried – it’s already happening.

I'm yet to meet a terf that would have a proper ideological framework to deal with me.

No, I'm not traumatized by sexualization and I'm not unaware I could be masculine as a woman. I'm rather sexual and I'm a femme.

No, that doesn't mean I'm "basically a gender conforming woman". I'm visibly queer irl and I occasionally pass enough for random guys to call me a (local version of) faggot.

Which, btw, kills the argument that I'm transitioning to "escape homophobia", because the longer I'm transitioning, the more I'm read as a queer man.

And you can't claim I'm a heterosexual woman appropriating homosexuality, because I've been in exactly one relationship with a cis man, I currently have a cis girlfriend, and most my other partners have been trans men.

There's nothing you could plausibly classify me as, except for, maybe, annoying.

I classify you as retarded and annoying
