For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....
They what
Yeah, I don't get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing.... Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, "Ooh, time for lil snack!"
See also: there is a feeling of "oh, I need to pee" that happens before "fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom"
I read this and was like, "this can't be real" and then I looked for sources and like--
Adapting Intuitive Eating for Neurodivergent People
"This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full. To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning."
WHAT??????
what the fuck
Wait
I knew this
I forgot.
I have so many neurodivergences that impact my hunger signals that I'm only now just realizing how bad the anorexia in my 20s was.
I am 45 years old and had no fucking clue about any of this
I thought it was just years of poverty, malnutrition, homelessness, and forced anorexia that broke my ability to read cues properly
can white people stop boo-hooing about how they lost their favorite vacation spot because of the fires on maui? it’s vile. people lost their lives and their homes. no one gives a shit that your colonizing ass can’t go somewhere you were never welcome anyway
This AND if you’ve ever visited/vacationed in Hawái it’s time to pay up. If y’all love Hawái so much, show it by donating. Oh, and never go back. That native land has been EXPLOITED by vacationers and capitalism. The government is spending money and resources in order to house and feed tourists/visitors OVER sending help to the native people who NEED IT. Stop going to Hawái. It’s not your land.
Just wanted to add on to this a concrete example: a couple years ago the Hawaiian government implemented water rationing FOR LOCALS ONLY, while continuing to allow tourists to use as much water as they wanted for fancy hotels, spas, pools, and GOLF COURSES. This is obviously the exact opposite of how water shortages should be addressed. I don't even think many of the tourists had any idea that the water they used on vacation was literally being taken from the homes of indigenous people: many tourists think they are helping local economies. I would LOVE to visit Hawaii and see amazing Polynesian biomes and active volcanoes without a passport, but I have resigned myself to the fact that there is currently no ethical way for me to do so. Visiting Hawaii would take needed resources from the people who live there, and the tourism industrial complex would actively lie to me about it if I tried to travel there in an ethical or sustainable manner. The US has really plundered those amazing islands and done so much harm to them in so many ways. Native Hawaiians are begging tourists to stay away. So please take their demands seriously and enjoy Hawaii's amazing natural wonders through video instead of in person.
While residents are being told to cut back, water-reliant resorts are bustling.
game day steve
A.X.E.: Eve Of Judgment
If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.
Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.
Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.
And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.
And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".
In case this gains any traction, I NEED people to understand that this is not an invitation for mainlanders to get on a soapbox and start telling each other whether or not or how to visit Hawai'i. The tourism situation is complex and difficult and you don't get it if you haven't lived through it at minimum wage. You don't fully understand the complexities and you will not. And you are liable to do more harm by trying to dictate rules and ethics of visiting the islands to each other.
If you want to help, listen to local people. Seek out and boost what they're saying. Send each other local sources of information. Research from local sources. DO NOT take this crisis as an opportunity to insert your views and speak for us.

You all need to go read this!
Summary BOOK 1:
The Battle of New York: Tony flies himself and the nuke through the wormhole and when his suit shuts down and he starts to fall, he knows he’s going to die. But then he wakes up in an alley in Brooklyn, two strangers staring down at him in confusion and Tony is sure he is dreaming when he shakes hands first with pre-serum Steve Rogers, and then Bucky Barnes. Trapped in 1942, Tony befriends Steve, and falls in love with Bucky but America is at war, and Bucky and Steve ship out to join the cause. Tony knows all the stories about the Howling Commandos and knows what’s coming for the soldiers, and has to live through history as first Bucky falls, and then Steve disappears. Tony is left alone in the 40’s, crying himself to sleep in the house he had shared with his best friend and his lover. But then he wakes up on the pavement in New York, the Hulk roaring in his face, Steve staring down at him, and he has to wonder if it was all a hallucination. When Tony fell through the sky, did he fall through time as well? Why does Steve act so cold towards him? Were he and Bucky really that happy together?
Did it all really happen, or is Tony in love with a life he can only have in his dreams?
I just finished book 3 in this series, written by the insanely (almost jealousy-making) talented @not-close-to-straight.
This whole series was stunning. I am very bad at reviews and stuff but I just wanted to say, to my small corner of the internet, that I loved this series.
It was sad and bittersweet a lot of times but all the hard times and all the challenges Tony, Steve, and Bucky faced all were worth it in the end. It was gorgeous and I didn’t think I was a fan of time travel AU’s but this one proved me wrong.
I really fell in love with Steve in this one. He is one fo the character I don’t really have a connection with when I watched the movies but man, do I adore him in this. Just, how he is. How brave he is. How snarky he can be. How patient and kind he is to Tony. How understand. How strong but also fragile. It pushed all my buttons and I didn’t even know I had buttons to push that relate to Steve Rogers so…
Kara, I know people say this to you all the time but DAMN, DAMN HELL, YOU CAN WRITE! And I’m very grateful that I found your works. They are helping me through some rough mental health times and are making my world more beautiful, so thank you.
Thank you!
Hi I was today years old when I realized some people truly don’t have to think about every single thing they do. They don’t have to have an imaginary set of rules (I’m not allowed to put on my bra until I’ve brushed my teeth) to function.
THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE AREN'T DRIVING ALL THEIR TASKS AND FUNCTIONS ON MANUAL
WHAT IN THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTION KIND OF BULLSHIT
Just a couple of dudes reminding you that Aldis Hodge is, in fact, the sexiest man alive. In addition to being a horologist, he's also a painter and a violinist. He also went to school for architecture.
But I guess that’s all I’m good at.

Tony Stark is ‘bitch u thought’ personified.
Ten Rings: We have Tony Stark in captivity, tortured and bent to our will. He will do as we say.
Tony, constructing Iron Man: Bitch you thought
Palladium poisoning: You’re literally going to die and no known element on Earth can save you now
Tony, creating an entirely new element in his basement in one (1) afternoon: Bitch you thought
Thanos: I stabbed you and stranded you on an alien planet billions of miles from home with no food and water. You literally cannot-
Tony, constructing his escape out of broken ship pieces and Spite: BITCH YOU THOUGHT?????
my main criticism of solarpunk is why isn’t it happening
it absolutely is and here’s the wiki we’re building
what exists in terms of community developed sustainable technology
but like any revolutionary social movement it requires active involvement to achieve the change you want to see. Here are some handy resources for getting more involved:
Food Not Lawns - project to help communities feed themselves without capitalism
Food Not Bombs - same idea as above but less emphasis on growing food
The Buy Nothing Project - community resource pooling to combat consumerism
Demand Utopia - Rojava solidarity & social ecology activism - speaking of which, The Internationalist Commune of Rojava have their Make Rojava Green Again project.
Also, if you want your solarpunk social media then start looking to the decentralised non corporate sunbeam city mastodon instance (blend of tumblr and twitter without your data being sold) where you’ll find shit tonnes of information on making food, growing things, building sustainable technology yourself etc being shared - like this $3 DIY solarpowered USB charger or this $30 wind turbine made largely from salvaged parts.
In terms of building online infrastructure to actively combat capitalism, using and helping to develop open-source, community run software & websites like the sunbeam city mastodon instance should be a priority. This is a good alternative to google for searching.
In terms of building real world solarpunk infrastructure as resistance to actively combat capitalism, the organisations linked above are honestly invaluable - especially Food Not Bombs. I’d also add the Industrial Workers of the World (a democratic workers’ union for anyone in the world without hiring/firing power) as well as tenants’ unions - like ACORN in the UK. Finally, find or start a community garden.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized not many people these days know about the Freecycle Network but it’s totally a thing and you should totally know about it.

Tony: Do you want to explain this text I got last night?
Bucky: Err, yeah, sorry. That was autocorrect.
Tony: Autocorrect wrote "your so hot step on me"?
Bucky: Yeah, it's supposed to say "you're".
Tony: ...

I Want to Hold Your Hand was adorable! I'm such a sucker for exhausted!Tony and earnest!Steve. Val saying she measures the due dates by Tony's hair height was hilarious! Rhodey is as always an excellent guardian for disaster Tony. His dialog with Steve had me cracking up. Such a fun story!
I LOVE that story. Goofy Stony is always so fun because you know no matter what is happening, at the end they will end up more in love for it. Also when @ceealaina told me she'd held the barista's hand instead of giving him the card, I literally SCREECHED laughing and knew that was promptly caffeine goblin Tony and who better to be absolutely charmed by his entire lack of charm? STEVE
I always love the interactions between Steve and Rhodey, partly because I feel like Rhodey is 100% unimpressed with Steve in every universe and partly because Rhodey loves Tony so much I feel like Steve would unconsciously try to impress Rhodey constantly and it would be a whole mess. Rhodey is like "oh no I know Tony is ridiculous but he's MINE so back off and treat him right" and I love that for both of them. Top Tier
Oh good god, I forgot about that. Thanks @not-close-to-straight 🤣🤣🤣
