Nelogism

Honestly, my whole sense of being is just confusion. Every part of the world, of people, of myself is just really bizarre and confusing to me, even the things that make sense. But that also makes me curious and that's the greatest thing to be

I hate it when my body tries to do improv

[thefaultinourchickennuggets]

the bad thing about having unhealthy habits due to mental illness, is when you DO do something healthy style you can't brag about about it because then people will then know you've been doing it yucky style all along. Like you can't brag you changed your sheets or brushed your teeth because then ppl will be like oh did you not brush your teeth regularly before? Thats yucky disgusting! So you just gotta keep it to yourself. And be proud alone, I suppose.

maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. it’s uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you don’t want to see. but rarely that’s seen as the issue and instead the real ‘horror’ or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older woman’s body is treated like it’s something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. It’s just something that really bothers me

why is there an upgrade button on gmail. why does twitter want me to scan my palm to get into my account. why is google a chatbot. why does the transit app make a transit app wrapped for me. why does youtube keep shoving its infinitely scrollable shortform content down my throat. why do my doctor and psychiatrist and therapist want to use an ai notetaker during our appointments. why do free trials want my credit card number. why are most scholarship websites just data brokers. how do i make capitalone stop sending me mail. why is my school making its own special chat gpt powered chatbot. why is every third video on instagram an undisclosed ad. why is nothing online real anymore. why is everything so FUCKING STUPID

Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

When a girl sits down and her thighs get bigger reblog if u agree

[nelogism]

I blame every Teenmovie for the Underdogs and Nerds, for my abysmal social skills and the Rank I had in my own high school.

What do you mean "Just believe in yourself" or "You don't need to change for the sake of others" or "You're perfect as you are"

Nothing of that helped. I came to school as my nerdy little shit self and with my weird little interests and talked about them openly.

THAT was a mistake. BECAUSE my little Autistic self, didn't know what "Be yourself meant" in society.

Long story short, do not talk about your bowel movements, when someone asks how you are. They do not wanna know about the earth shattering shit you took ;-;

You would think that's basic knowledge, but nooooooo. You're mistaken if you think I will use my brain in a conventional way. That part of me is reserved for fanfiction and every type of nerdy Media I can get my grabby little hands on and not for social interactions that can possibly ruin my stance in society itself.

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

reblog if you're also lame and weird.

URGENT, PLEASE!

I recently adopted a kitten (she had fallen down a drain) and today I took her to the vet urgently because she was vomiting and oozing pus. I was told that she has an infection in her uterus (it's basically full of pus) and that she needs urgent surgery, plus she has tested positive for erlikia.

Even with all my savings, I can't cover all the expenses for surgeries, remedies and other aftercare.

Please, if you can donate, buy me a commission or at least reblog this post, I would be eternally grateful.

at least I need 350$

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

i think i’ve said this before but i absolutely resent fics where it’s other people taking care of tim drake and the whole fic is essentially ‘he’s incapable of taking care of himself!’ but not in a it-is-physically-impossible sort of way instead in a oh-im-just-a-kid-i-didn’t-even-realize-i-was-bleeding way. i hate it i hate it i hate it.

timothy jackson drake wayne is not a baby. he is perfectly capable of taking care of his own wounds and feeding himself dinner. his parents weren’t so neglectful that he lacked the ability to know how to properly care for himself. another thing i resent. they wanted to be there, they were just busy on occasion—as most working parents are.

and tim would never let jason todd of all people take care of him. he’d die in a corner before he’d let that idiot, who’s probably more incapable of taking care of himself than tim is, try to assist him in such a basic thing (that tim is CAPABLE OF DOING).

the same thing can be said about peter parker. that kid is insanely intelligent. just because he’s stranded in a new world doesn’t mean he forgot how to take care of himself. he doesn’t need reminders to eat, or reminders on how much his own body can take. sure, he needs comfort, everyone does. the comforting doesn’t have to reduce him to a two year old toddler.

don’t even let me get STARTED on damian wayne. “he’s just a baby! he’s getting to do things kids his age do! 🥹🥹🥹” so close, he’s actually not a baby. he’s ten years old, and an ex-fucking-assassin and yes, maybe he can do some kids things, that sounds like genuine fun. except the kids things people talk about are GENUINE toddler activities. it’s made worse when he’s meant to be 13-15 doing some dumb shit.

there’s a way to make both of them in need of comfort without making them into downright babies. if damian wayne saw this absolute slander, he’d be so ashamed. literally probably would be the most patronizing, pathetic thing he’d ever read.

i feel like i’m not wording this right but just know, every-time tim drake, damian wayne and/or peter parker are infantilized a kitten dies.

Currently reading Fanfiction and I just really enjoy, that the Batman Fandom kind of agrees, that the Wayne Manor functions with Tardis rules.

It's entirely based on the plot, how big or how many or what rooms the Manor has and I think that's beautiful.

Mirror-Ball Spiders: these spiders are covered in shimmering, mirror-like panels that shift and expand as the muscles of the abdomen contract

Spiders of the genus Thwaitesia are often described as mirror-ball spiders, because their bodies are lined with reflective panels that make them look like tiny disco-balls. Some sources also refer to these beautiful arachnids as dewdrop spiders or sequined spiders.

Above: two different species of mirror-ball spider

The shimmering panels are produced by a digestive secretion known as guanine, which seeps through the lining of the spider's gut, forming a mosaic of crystalline cells just beneath the surface of the abdomen.

Above: Thwaitesia spiders

The crystals retract and expand as the muscles in the spider's abdomen contract; they often shrink when the spider is agitated, and they expand as it begins to relax.

Above: the panels expanding and retracting

The adaptive purpose of this effect is unclear, but researchers believe that the panels may mimic the glistening appearance of raindrops or beads of dew, which could allow the spiders to blend in with their environment.

The reflective panels may also help to confuse predators, as this article explains:

The spider’s decorative patterning may seem like a dead give-away to predators, but for those looking to feast on this arachnid, the hunt might result in confusion and failure.

“Like a disco ball with lots of different mirrors, the reflective splotches on the spider’s abdomen probably scatter light and make it difficult for predators to see it,” says Robert Whyte, an honorary researcher in arachnology at the Queensland Museum.

Above: Thwaitesia affinis

There are at least 22 known species of mirror-ball spider, and their physical features can vary significantly. In some cases, the silver panels on the abdomen are accompanied by colorful, iridescent spots and scales, and the abdomen itself may have a red, orange, green, yellow, or beige appearance.

Above: spiders of the genus Thwaitesia

Mirror-ball spiders are not aggressive toward humans, and there are virtually no recorded cases of humans being bitten by the spiders of this genus. They're also tiny, with most individuals measuring just 2-4mm long (roughly 1/10th of an inch) which means that their fangs are often too small to penetrate human skin.

Above: Thwaitesia nigronodosa

These spiders are widely distributed throughout the southern hemisphere. They can be found in the tropical and neotropical rainforests of South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, China, Singapore, and Madagascar.

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

[nelogism]

And she's still doing her best, with the knowledge that she is probably gonna be thrown into jail afterwards. She knows people hate, that she has all the power and that people only take her serious, because of that power. I just think it's tragic, that her actions are also almost expected from her. People expect woman to fix the mess, even with the knowledge, that they only chose her, because they needed a scapegoat

[nelogism]

I just realised why Tim and Damian are my favourite Robins ;-;

Tim is the Autistic social Butterfly I wanted to be

and

Damian is the Autistic social weirdo I normally am

This revelation was made when I thought about the Speech Patterns both use or actively choose. Damian has THE main characterisation in early days, that I also did and which is the reason why a lot of people thought I was weird and didn't want to interact with me.

He talks in a very proper and formal way, becaus he was taught that you need to talk like that to be respected and to show your intelligence. Most Kids and Teenagers, hell even Adults don't talk like that in privat.

Thanks for coming to my never Ending Discovery of "Am I weird or just Autistic af?"
