been thinkin about this lately and i think i want a small life. not a BAD life n not an ISOLATED life n not a CLOSED life but just. small. with defined boundaries. i want a job that will sustain me that doesn't require exhaustion to survive. i want a place to live that's big enough for me to choose every part of it; just enough shelf for mugs i love, just enough cabinet for a neat set of paints, just enough closet for clothes i actually like wearing not just ones i tolerate. i want to do little routines and make small batches of things and be a regular somewhere. i just want to have something contained and clear that's mine, mine, mine

There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

Prevent Photosensitive-Epileptic seizures while watching YouTube™ videos. We'll warn you before you see any flashy videos.

hello again everyone! the terfs keep finding this so let me make myself crystal fucking clear!

this post is about trans lesbians. this post is about butch trans lesbians. this post is about gender nonconforming lesbians. this post is about lesbians who do not fit cisnormative body standards. this post is about he/him lesbians. it was ALWAYS written with these people in mind.

this post is NOT about lesbians who are gender critical or radfem or whatever you fucking call yourselves these days. if you run in these circles you are not included in this post and you are certainly not included in our community.

trans and nonbinary and gnc and genderweird lesbians, I love you. lesbians with bodies that cisnormative society views as “masculine,” I love you. this post is a celebration of your beauty.

Today's my birthday. I should've been dead by now, but my sister, best friend, and boyfriend keep me alive.

I hate pms bc I get more fatigued than usual and lose my appetite, which makes me not want to eat, which makes me more exhausted.

As an asthmatic, this was critical advice. It can also be helpful to splash cold water on the back of your neck or forehead, which helps distract you from the panic.

If you are having issues with what it feels like breathing in a mask, practice in a calm environment where you feel relaxed, and if you can’t get it to be ok, try different masks.

yeah it's absolutely important that we talk about how masks can make people feel like they can't breathe, and that is itself difficult. my mom has straight up developed some sort of agoraphobia during the pandemic and has had to skip out on events because she can't be in a crowded room with a mask.

good idea to check in with your body and what you're feeling, what exactly is it that's causing that suffocating feeling? is it contact with the material or the way it traps warmth near your face? try different fits and materials

That's why I stick to surgical masks since they became available.

Also it is possible to get dizzy/nauseous from the heat buildup inside the mask. I find chewing mint gum can help.

loved the age where you could look up paranormal stuff and have no gauge of what’s real/fake so you’re just like “oh my god …. a ghost caught on tape and no one is talking about this”

don’t know what parent of an autistic child needs to hear this but as long as they’re not harming anyone your kid’s stimming is not a “problem behaviour”

bowditch

in our house we have a few categories of stimming behavior.

1. the no category. this is for things that are unsafe. hurting self (head banging, scratching), hurting others, chewing on choking hazards. i know this is excluded in OP’s post, but i’m putting it on my list because if you parent an autistic child and deal with this, you have to be aware that a key to off-limits stimming is redirection. stimming satisfies an important physical and neurological need for the autistic brain, and that behavior is sensory-seeking. if you must say no, please also offer options or help redirecting to appropriate outlets for pressure, motion, rhythm, chewing, etc.

2. the shared space category. listen, i get that a lot of people are assholes about things that aren’t hurting them. that’s not what this category is for. but we have a household with multiple autistic individuals and a work from home situation. “shared space” is the code phrase we use for “please take this stimming to a different location.” sometimes, aural stims like repetitive noises or physical stims like pacing can be legitimately distracting to other people in a room (or car!). in the case of other autistic people, it might even feel painful or mentally consuming. this category is no-judgment “please move to another location to continue stimming this way.” it’s not bad, it’s not wrong, you aren’t being shamed– just do your best to respect others and their needs or comfort, and leave the communal area or lower your volume.

3. the you do you category. it doesn’t matter that nobody else is doing this to feel comfortable or happy– you aren’t hurting anyone else, you aren’t being disruptive in a space other people are using together. go for it.

and in every single category, anger has no place in redirecting a stim. not even the no category. stimming isn’t malicious, there’s no actual moral requirement to be “less weird” or “like everyone else.” even reminders like “you aren’t the only person in this room and that’s very loud” don’t need anger. stims aren’t done at anyone. they’re just the body expressing a kind of neurological hunger, and whether the answer is “enjoy that!” or “this isn’t safe for you to eat (ie, do)” fury doesn’t help.
