Objectively the funniest (and only memorable) time I've been blocked on any website was when Jordan Peterson posted "nobody knew about transgenderism five years ago" on twitter and I quoted it with "you've been saying this for ten years"

Remembered Charles and thought I should take him on another quick trip through the dinosaur archives

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????

[itsthedinosaur]

Me:

- Frequently thinks about how hot girls are

- Can barely focus on certain shows because the women are so hot

- Finds everything she can about her favourite female actors online

- Reads lesbian AO3 fanfics

- Has Pinterest boards with 500+ photos of characters in a show

Also me:

‘Huh, idk if I’m into girls…’

i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time

big shout out to tumblr for being the first major site in like two years to implement an ill-advised "feature" nobody wants, likes or respects that doesn't involve AI

[itsthedinosaur]

Nothing in this world feels greater than developing a new obsession and getting a fresh set of fanfics to read on ao3

Women have to be both skinny and curvy, have a chest (but not TOO much), be not too tall but not too short, have perfectly dyed, highlighted and styled hair, have clear skin, wear nice makeup (but not TOO much), wear perfectly coordinated outfits with matching shoes, have a cute ear stack, have their nails done…

Men who perpetuate these ridiculous demands call women misandrists when they say they’re too short.

idk if this is because I’m autistic or because I’m an asshole but I HATE unannounced visits at my house. I do not care if you are the love of my life, if you decide to surprise me by showing up with no warning on a Sunday at 9 am when i haven’t showered in 3 days and i have dirty dishes in the sink, i will not be pleasant. PISSES ME OFFFFFFF

people in the notes are like “uhhhh that’s basic manners, everybody feels like that” clearly you have never lived in a small town with many family members living in a 50 mile radius. they love to drop by and make you feel like an asshole for not being happy about it.

[itsthedinosaur]

Small town… or big city, but Asian family.

normalize being dogshit amateur at your special interests and hyperfocuses. no more autistic savants. yes i am very into that topic no i am not good at it. we exist <3

People talking abt autism like its a set of quirky silly traits and not an often debilitating neurological disorder genuinely drives me up a wall, especially as someone who's support needs are higher.

"I want a gf with autism :3" ok are you prepared to help them with hygiene tasks? Are you gonna help them with laundry and cleaning their room? Are you gonna be patient with them when they're using AAC? Will you comfort them through meltdowns? Or do you just want a gf who talks to you about dinosaurs and has a cute "neurodivergent aesthetic"?

The minimization of autistic struggles to just "socially awkward sometimes" ends up making higher support needs autistics feel real isolated, because it's obvious that when you romanticize neurodivergence, you're not talking about us.
