”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

Just a reminder especially for neurodivergent folks: if you find yourself very quiet/silent during sex, even if you're not trying to or actively trying to make noise, consider the fact that sex can be very overwhelming/stimulating and can cause speech-loss for some!

I know this is pretty common with autistic people in particular but lots of neurodivergent folks I've talked to about sex have experienced temporary loss of speech specifically during sex.

It's not a bad thing but definitely something to consider, especially in terms of safewords!

If you experience something like speech-loss during sex, its an extra good idea to be prepared with nonverbal safewords so that you can communicate (in basic terms at least) if you need to.

What is compulsory sexuality?

You know when you go on a date and your friends immediately ask whether the sex was good? Or you share the last time you did the nasty and the person in front of you is shocked at how long ago it was?

“There’s an enormous pressure to be completely sexually functioning, whatever that means. Societally, we are shamed if we don’t live up to certain expectations of what sex is.” 

[rogue-ai-cat]

The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.

My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.

All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.

I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!

I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.

He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.

[rogue-ai-cat]

This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.

I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.

I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"

This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.

The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.

The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).

This video is for pet owners.

These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.

A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.

Gonna throw another potential resource at the end of this very long list, which may be potentially helpful for others like me who loathe videos. It's... the weirdest thing that has genuinely been helpful to me in housekeeping. Absolutely full of useful advice, and bizarrely still relevant in large part. (Though, caveat, research ANYTHING to do with chemicals or cleaning products more complicated than vinegar + lemon + water for modern information.)

It's America's Housekeeping Book (1941). Available for free download on the Internet Archive. (Large PDF file at the link here).

The LISTS y'all. The step by step lists. The emphasis on efficiency and arranging spaces for the least resistance possible. The basic concept of "take a tray or basket into a room when you are tidying up so you can put things that belong elsewhere on it and take them out LATER in ONE GO".

My ADHD-having ass could cry.

"Even if it were possible for women to upset the political, economic, religious, and bureaucratic foundations of this country and to take over the present position held by men, what would have been accomplished if the result were only an exchange of roles, with women as the abusing group? The point of liberating women, it seems to me, must be to produce a better state of affairs, not a mirror image of the one now being objected to."

- Suzette Haden Elgin, 'The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense'

I have recommended this book to my followers before and I am recommending it here again. If you want to learn how to tactfully deal with rude / cruel / verbally abusive behavior, especially when the power dynamics are not in your favor, this book has a lot of helpful advice.

This quote in particular comes from a part of the book where the author discusses how quite often, men are not only more likely to display more overtly verbally abusive behavior, but also more likely to get away with it. This quote is specifically from the context of her talking about these dynamics, but asserting that the solution isn't to encourage women to be as overtly verbally abusive as men and to give women the same leniency for verbally abusive behavior, because why would we want a world with more cruel, verbally abusive people in it? We already have enough of that, and we should all be sick of it.

[dailymanners]

While we're on the subject of books about how to deal with rude / cruel / verbally abusive behavior, I just started a book called "Say The Thing" by Kami Orange, and the entire premise of the book is how to set boundaries in a kind and diplomatic way. The entire book is mostly just lists of social scripts for speaking up and setting boundaries. It's even organized by different situations / types of rudes comments you might receive.

Gonna go ahead and add this to my list of book reccs, especially if you'd like to learn practical ways to speak up and assert yourself.
