when we "lose" a cis butch woman because he becomes a trans man or masc you should actually say such things as yay, yippee, or hooray.

microdosing on catharsis by watching a fictional character or persona i relate to have an emotional breakdown until my chest starts to ache from the amount i've repressed

thinking about the time a former housemate said to me "hey I put these box fans in the living room because it's hot" while gesturing to the fans that I was actively sitting in front of because it was hot. and I said "okay thanks." and she kept standing there like she was waiting for something else so I said "am I blocking the airflow? do you need me to move?" and she said no I'm just letting you know they're here, in the living room, for circulation. and I said well yes, I did put that together. I am enjoying them. thank you. and she looked confused. so I asked "am I meant to do something with this information or are you just informing me?" and she said no I'm letting you know they're here because It's Hot In Here. she seemed a bit aggravated, and her emphasis seemed deliberate.

it took me asking three more times before she finally told me she wanted me to leave the fans where they are instead of moving them to my room or something. and I said oh! I had no intention of doing so but thank you for letting me know what the expectation is.

about a month later she brought up that conversation as the moment it actually clicked for her that I Am Autistic And Will Not Magically Intuit The Unspoken Request You Didn't Ask Me.

I have observed enough allistic communication to know that generally, if somebody points something out to you that you can already see or are already clearly interacting with, they are making an indirect request. but as I don't know what the request is, the only way forward is for me to guess (and likely get it wrong), or prompt the allistic to tell me clearly what they need.

however, allistics don't realize they do this, so asking them to say the unspoken surprises and confuses them. this is not their fault. allistics can be quite emotionally fragile and perceive directness as confrontation, so they habitually rely on indirect speech and coded language to preserve others' feelings. this is why they may find it difficult to be direct, even when asked. I have found that with enough gentle encouragement and reassurance that they are actually helping you, you too can achieve successful communication with your allistic friend or loved one. :)

#weird way to describe 1973 but i guess it’s accurate

if you're of a certain age, a really important thing you'll do in your life is spend a moderate amount of time/money setting up the best way to emulate every single video game made prior to 2006. you'll spend maybe three hours actually playing the games and then forget about the whole experience. for some reason you will do this basically once every five years until you die.

#you cant do this to me while im actively making a rom-list

Traffic enforcement in the US primarily serves two functions: To generate convenient legal pretexts covering otherwise unconstitutional police actions, and to extort money from citizens. Public safety is a distant tertiary consideration which rarely plays any real part in decision-making. Anyone who lists traffic enforcement as an example of an "actually useful/helpful" cop job is a naive little child who willfully chooses to believe in comforting fictions.

anyone who lists it can be asked "why on earth foes the guy who tells me to drive slower have a gun and cuffs" to unlock secret dialog about the violent drug doers who will only be discovered because their inherently crimeful souls lust to drive 11 miles per hour over the speed limit
