he/him. Sideblog. Here I'll ramble about mostly autism things with a side of queer stuff and whatever I generally feel like.

[chaotic-queer-disaster]

alright, pinned post time

I'm Disaster, he/him, minor, white, bi acespec arospec (bi aroace for short)

I'm not a medical professional! Obviously! See aforementioned "minor", after all. While I'm glad to give answers to questions, my own experiences, and resources, I should not be treated like a doctor or autism-info-god. This is just my little autism blog, mostly for myself :D

inclusionist! this includes more complicated/"weird" identities like xenogenders, mogai sexualities, neopronouns, and mspec gays for the simple reason that They Don't Hurt Anyone

I am pro-thinking critically about the media you consume, anti-harassment, pro-people being allowed to grow/learn after making mistakes, and pro-blocking anyone you want to (including me) whether they're horrific bigots or just too annoying in your notes. it's fine, curate your internet experiences

this is primarily an autism blog, though since my main is a writing blog now, I will also be slowly moving other social justice over here.

DNI: radfems, queer community exclusionists, Harry Potter blogs, pro-autism speaks, bigots, shipcourse-heavy blogs, "transabled" (BIID is fine), nsfw blogs, MAPs/NOMAPs, transmeds/truscum, think death threats/suibait are ever ok.

Note: sometimes I struggle with neopronouns, as I do not instinctively understand most of them. Please tell me if I use yours wrong.

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of "picky eaters". no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don't like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they've said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to "trick" them into eating it anyway

[chaotic-queer-disaster]

#all this being said I’m still going to silently judge my picky eater friends for their weakness

cool, that wasn't necessary to add at all! Just a quick note that people who are picky enough to have a reputation of being a "picky eater" often have undiagnosed Sensory Processing Disorder and severely picky eaters often have Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. SPD is shit to live with (I'd know <3) & ARFID is literally an eating disorder. Even then, totally 100% neurotypical picky eaters are still not harming you in any way.

There is nothing wrong with being a picky eater. Not eating things that you dislike is not a weakness, it's a sensible personal boundary.

Can we please stop trying to use these weird psudo-medical things in arguments like this?

"I know it seems like I have a preference you dislike, but actually I have Preference You Dislike Disorder and so you can't be mean to me" is always and everywhere stupid. A medical condition wouldn't be a legitimate excuse for doing something actually immoral, so it doesn't work as an argument. And it's also entirely unnessesary because "I like different shit than you go fuck yourself" is entirely sufficient.

In online culture "I have a condition so you can't be mean to me" is taken as an axiom and we need to stop doing it. It just doesn't follow logically, and it's neither ethically nor politically nessesary to invent an excuse for doing whatever you want forever. You also shouldn't be mean to people who *don't* have disorders, it's not complicated.

[chaotic-queer-disaster]

this post is like 4 years old but in case youre unaware saying "this argument is also ableist, so extra go fuck yourself" is actually not the same as "i have a condition so you can't be mean to me". hence uh. the part literally the next sentence where i say even if you're totally neurotypical its still literally fine. if you read that. it's just discussing the added context that this behaviour is often insiduiously ableist. and it is in fact relevant because disabled people do face more problems and barriers in this conversation/experience. so. not sure what you think you're adding here that's meaningful.

it's also like. not pseudo medical. it's medical. there are entire debilitating disorders related to being "picky". sorry? and the phrasing of "invent an excuse" is incredibly weird in a way that, i won't lie, implies you really don't understand what these things are. nobody has to invent them. they're everyday parts of many people's real, offline, actually-in-the-world lives.

I feel this way about people trying to push me to drink. I don't react well to it, it makes me severely depressed the next day and hurts my stomach and makes my body feel weird in general, but people still pressure me to drink sometimes(less so lately because I've got better people in my life, but it still happens). It's also this way with beer. I HATE the way beer tastes, but I've had dozens of them pushed on me, everyone insisting that THIS beer is different(it never is). Idk why people feel the need to try to make people do and eat things when they've clearly discovered that doing and eating those things isn't good for them.

In other words, fuck the people who pressure you to eat things you don't want to eat. They're dicks and you deserve better ❤️

When it comes to posts about DIY HRT, I don't think the problem is their general address to "trans people". I think the problem comes from the stating of the topic as a very general "DIY HRT". People beyond trans women, or even beyond trans people, could benefit from learning to diy estrogen, so addressing the audience generally is useful. That said, titling such posts as just "DIY HRT" can be misleading due to how it suggests instructions for estrogen and testosterone synthesis. Specifying the contents as being "diy estrogen" or "diy feminizing hrt" seems like an easy fix.

do literally 3 seconds of research in begging you

[chaotic-queer-disaster]

that link doesn't disprove what op said literally at all? they're just saying they have seen people title resources as "diy hrt" and then not talk about T, and they'd like more people to clarify they mean DIY estrogen when that is what they mean. which is like, entirely valid. that does not mean they're saying no resources for diying T exist nor that they have not even done "three seconds of research".

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

[headspace-hotel]

If you kill a non venomous snake that's just silly and cruel and betrays a disgusting worldview of blind hatred and fear of other beings,

and if you kill a venomous snake that's VERY STUPID because trying to kill a venomous snake is the best way to get bitten by a venomous snake.

[specsthespectraldragon]

the last coral snake fatality in florida that I could find was due to the person who died trying to kill it, as a note

very disenheartening to see more and more instances of Instagram, twitter, tiktok, tumblr, and carrd being considered ideal resources for learning information about the world.

[girlcodedhamlet]

an example of a good instance of social media being used for information:

Creator A has a service dog for their heart condition! Creator A spends a lot of time online talking about their personal experiences with service dogs, what their dog is trained for, how the process of obtaining service dogs works in their area, day to day life with their dog and condition, etc. Creator A intends their page to be a jumping off point for people to start learning more about service dogs.

Now here's a bad one (not based on any specific creator!):

Creator B also has a service dog for their own heart condition. most of their posts are sweeping generalizations about both dogs and conditions, calling anyone who shows a different experience--including others with these dogs!--liars or wrong. Creator B encourages their audience to see their experience as THE experience, and is quite hostile to the idea that they can be wrong or others are different in their needs and experiences. They may even fake claim.

A REALLY awful example:

Creator C starts posting about how, across the US, there's an increased problem of poorly-trained service dogs biting children.* They insist the process to get a service dog needs to be made stricter, now, and that people disagreeing don't care about children's health. Creator C's sources are Twitter threads, inflammatory headline screenshots, and their own anecdotes. Many of their followers are now attacking people with service dogs online.

[*READING COMP CHECK THIS IS NOT A REAL THING IM MAKING THIS UP]

laid out like this and with this example, it's obvious that creator B and C aren't doing good. B is being too general and self involved, and C is actively lying for their own means. but this happens with a LOT of issues. any time you see something online, think:

- is this creator generalizing their personal experience?

- does this creator have news sources? are they credible sites? what's the political lean? who's the writer?

- does this seem to be stirring up anger, fear, or bias with no actionable solution?

it's important. information is everywhere online, and only a miniscule amount is true.

[girlcodedhamlet]

a final note is that I see this happening a LOT with mental health. this is a pro self dx and pro mental health discussion space, but this is also a STRONGLY pro "googling if any studies have actually been done about ~red narcissist demon eyes~ or if that's just ableist stigma, BEFORE you go telling everyone that red narcissist demon eyes are a thing" space.

I’m sick of modern celebrity drama. i want that vintage beef. famous people had plenty of drama that we don’t spend enough time exposing. I’m start starting a rag mag dedicated to digging up buried (literally) grudges. someone spill more tea about how harry houdini & arthur conan doyle went from besties to worsties bc one of them believed in ghosts and the other went around disproving them

[assiraphales]

uh oh the girls r fighting

[assiraphales]

arthur conan doyle: my dead son communicated w me from beyond the grave

harry houdini, who went to a medium on doyle’s suggestion and was not impressed: your dead son didn’t say shit x

[assiraphales]

what’s even funnier about this is that if acd hadn’t pushed the topic, houdini would have probably let it go. instead houdini spitefully attended as many seances as possible to prove his ex-friend wrong. THIS is the tea I’m talking about

[assiraphales]

[assiraphales]

#doyle's wife also thought she was a medium and had harry sit in on a reading#she then proceeded to try and channel his mother and used automatic writing to pen a message to harry from his dead mom#two problems with this:#one; the message was in english. houdini's mother had only spoken german.#and two; the message concluded with a drawing of a cross. houdini's mother was jewish.#also doyle was convinced that harry had actual magic powers and was in denial @arodudejude
