Chris Rock has NVLD!
“All I understand are the words,” -Chris Rock
This is semi-old news from 2020 but I just learned it.
having nvld is like
"am i being unreasonable and angry or is everyone else not taking my feelings into account"
"is this extremely specific piece of information needed or can other people extrapolate it themselves"
"is this an emotion or a subconsciously constructed verbal representation of an emotion"
"why can i read this perfectly yet not get any information from it whatsoever"
"why am i simultaneously the stupidest person in the room and the only one with any common sense"
"is this an autism executive dysfunction an adhd executive dysfunction or an nvld executive dysfunction"
"is this really a learning disorder or am i just too sma- oh nvm this is definitely a learning disorder"
"how do other people even function"
"do i sound like an anime character with glasses right now"
"i need to explain this qualia, it's possible i know it is it has to be please it has to be pl"
"im smart im stupid im a genius im a moron im the smartest person in the room im the most brainless idiot on the planet"
"do other people hate me and how do i make them stop hating me with very specific words"
"how do i say this objective fact without making people bring emotions into it and how do i explain that my thoughts are almost completely separated from my emotions without making people think im an edgy reddit user who kins the joker"
"am i being pedantic or is this a reasonable clarification to ask for"
"why does no one talk to me"
"how am i so good at talking yet so embarrassingly awful at it"
"how do i explain this completely abstract and unexplainable emotion with the exact specific words, im sure it can be done"
"i would like to be put in a box actually, i think putting all my thoughts in metaphorical boxes would be very helpful, idk why you say that like it's a bad thing"
"if i ever have to talk to anyone again i'll snap you are all so ridiculously complicated"
"can you repeat that entire conversation in point form"
"can normalcy be learned manually or am i too robotic"
"wait maybe i am a robot"
"no please i swear im not a redditor roleplaying as a misunderstood genius this is really a disorder and i didn't ask to be this annoying i swear oh god please"
and finally
"are these relatable nlvd experiences or are they just my personal experiences, i can't tell because as far as i know no one else on the planet has this"
nvld is such a funny disability to have. like, no i can’t do math no i can’t socialize no i can’t find my way around new places no i can’t keep myself upright YES I CAN WRITE AND USE BIG WORDS and that’s it
neurodivergent culture is the lowest volume setting being too loud but you still listen to music because you need background noise or you’ll combust
this user has non-verbal learning disability
There’s a lack of concise, simple NLD resources out there, so I slapped this together. Hope it’s useful!

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!
and a special happy latinx/hispanic heritage month to black, brown, and indigenous people <3
Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15 through October 15!
There can be debate over which characters are Hispanic, so feel free to comment if you disagree with any of the characters or if you’d like to add some! Some characters, while perhaps not Hispanic themselves, are also included as being considered part of the heritage of some Hispanic people.
September 15 begins Hispanic Heritage Month — we’re kicking off the month by honoring a number of figures who historically have blazed a trail for the Hispanic American community
Fernando Valenzuela is a former MLB pitcher most famous for his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1980-90. A Mexican immigrant, Valenzuela’s raw talent & colorful personality made him an instant hit with the Dodgers’ significant Latinx fanbase. The ensuing media frenzy became known as ‘Fernandomania’ and represented one of the first times in MLB history that a Hispanic player was a face of baseball. Valenzuela retired in 1997. In 2015, he became a naturalized American citizen.
Sonia Sotomayor is the first Latinx Supreme Court justice in U.S. history, having served since 2009. The daughter of Puerto Rican-born Americans, Sotomayor spent the bulk of her childhood being raised by a single mom in the Bronx, NY. Sotomayor graduated summa cum laude from Princeton in 1976 and earned a law degree from Yale Law School in 1979. Prior to being appointed to the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama, she was a federal judge for 17 years. Her SCOTUS tenure has been characterized by decisions emphasizing criminal justice reform and the civil rights of both defendants and minority communities.
Sylvia Mendez was just 8 years old when she became a civil rights icon. Growing up in 1940s California as the daughter of Mexican & Puerto Rican immigrants, Mendez was a central figure in the landmark 9th Circuit Court of Appeals case Mendez v. Westminster. The decision found that segregating Mexican American students into separate schools in California was unconstitutional and led to the desegregation of all public schools in the state. The arguments used in Mendez v. Westminster later served as a precursor for the 1954 landmark SCOTUS segregation case Brown v. Board of Ed. After childhood, Mendez went on to work as a nurse & a public speaker, and she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011.
In 2015, Raffi Freedman-Gurspan made history as the first openly transgender person to serve in the White House in U.S. history. A longtime activist & expert on matters pertaining to LGBTQ+ civil rights and gender equality, Freedman-Gurspan was born in Honduras and raised by adoptive parents in Massachusetts. After graduating college in 2009, she pursued activism on the state level in MA for a few years before being hired as a policy adviser at the National Center for Transgender Equality. Her work focused on a number of issues impacting trans Americans, including homelessness, immigration, & incarceration. From there, she served 2 years in the Obama admin, first as an outreach & recruitment director and then as the White House’s LGBT liaison.
Ellen Ochoa is an icon for Latinx women in STEM. An engineer, astronaut, and former director of the Johnson Space Center, Ochoa made history in 1993 when she became the first Hispanic woman to travel to space while aboard the space shuttle Discovery. In her career as an astronaut, Ochoa logged approx 1,000 hours in space across 4 missions. Ochoa, who is a recipient of NASA’s Distinguished Service Medal, was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2017.
Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (1874-1938) was an author, historian, activist, and leading intellectual of the Harlem Renaissance. Schomburg was an Afro Latino of Puerto Rican, Black, and German heritage. Over his career, he worked tirelessly to identify, document, and preserve elements of Black history & culture, including art, manuscripts, slave narratives, and other artifacts. The works he amassed are now a collection in the New York Public Library at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. Schomburg was once quoted as saying, ‘Pride of race is the antidote to prejudice.’
At 88 years young, Rita Moreno remains a treasure of the stage and screen. She is the only Hispanic actor in history to complete the hallowed EGOT, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award between 1962 and 1977. Her Oscar win, for the supporting role of Anita in 1961’s ‘West Side Story,’ remains her most iconic part. In recent decades, Moreno is perhaps best known for starring in the Netflix reboot of ‘One Day at a Time.’ In addition to her acting awards, Moreno has also been a Kennedy Center honoree and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004.
Sylvia Rivera was an American icon of the early LGBTQ+ liberation movement, with a specific focus on activism for LGBTQ+ people of color and LGBTQ+ people experiencing homelessness. Together with her friend Marsha P. Johnson, Rivera was a fixture in New York City’s radical activist and cultural scene in the 1970s and ‘80s. Rivera & Johnson founded STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries), a local collective that provided housing and aid to young LGBTQ+ New Yorkers at the time. Rivera, who was of Venezuelan & Puerto Rican descent, died in 2002 at the age of 50. In 2005, the corner of Hudson & Christopher streets in NYC’s Greenwich Village was renamed Sylvia Rivera Way.

Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.
Florida Man: Chaotic evil. New York Man: Chaotic good.
Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.
The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.
When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-. When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of. And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!
As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews. Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS. Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.
