Bellezza Sincronizzata

A winter garden, with a detailed fresco of two oak trees. The lush branches and whispering leaves, stretch out like a poetic promise of eternity. It symbolizes the strength and beauty of nature, captured in the timeless art of the villa.

The little demons of grief came to live with me, in the space between the shadows and the floor.

I can't hear what they're telling me, even though I try.

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

I've seen Death depicted as a card dealer or other sort of gambler, a guy in a suit, a farmer, a robed apparition, and any other number of things, but this? This has to be the best Death I've seen yet. An old seductress saying "hey kid, don't you wanna die in a trench for a government that doesn't give a fuck about you, just like your dear old dad?" This goes hard as fuck.

IT'S ALSO USEFUL IF YOU HAVE TMJ DISORDER

in both cases: always start on the lowest setting and wrapped in something soft!! if it hurts, stop!!

But, re: sinuses: look up a diagram of where they are, and when a spot feels particularly good or is particularly congested, hold it there longer. Definitely keep tissues handy for when it drains. Also it can help if your sinuses hurt like fuck but aren't actually congested (which happened when I had covid), but the effect doesn't last long.

Re: TMJ disorder: You can just push it against the joint, obviously; if your vibe has a small contact point you can REALLY dig in there (but again: stop if it hurts). But don't forget the whole area around the joint, around your ears, and up your scalp. There's a lot of muscles that tighten when your jaw is tight/stiff/in pain. Be especially careful when on a spot that's just skin over a bone without a lot of padding.

vibrators can also help if you have restless legs syndrome! Especially ones with fancy pulse patterns. When my RLS is severe I tuck them behind my knees or wherever & can finally lie still & sleep. You might need to wrap them in fabric to avoid skin irritation ymmv. There was even a paper published somewhere called "counter stimulatory devices for RLS" that was hilariously vague about saying the word "vibrator"

[chicago-geniza]

Once again adding also useful if you have dystonia or any kind of muscle spasticity. I have cervical dystonia (neck spasms) and dystonia in my left leg that's essentially like persistent Charley horse cramps from my neuromuscular issues and bought a Hitachi expressly for this purpose lol

A vibrator has been recommended to me to unblock clogged milk ducts for anyone that may apply to

[gothiccharmschool]

I learned about the sinus thing and immediately bought a vibrator for that purpose. And yes, it DOES help with sinus headaches.

I love language I wanted to say I was rusty at something but then I was like “Wait, there’s no reason another language would use that exact same metaphor, of comparing rusty metal to a person who hasn’t done a skill in a while. I can’t assume that it makes sense to them, I might look like an idiot spouting nonsense if I try to say that I’m covered in rust somehow instead of just bad at this.” so instead I went into my dictionary and carefully looked up the specific phrase “out of practice” and the very first thing it gives me is “oxidado” which is literally the spanish word for “rusted.” Fuck off

i feel like so many allistic people who consider themselves allies to autistic people are actually seriously lacking in both autism acceptance and even basic awareness of what autism means. like so many people call themselves allies but only seem to know about autism from like. autistic memes online, which tend to either fall into the "so relatable" category or the "autism rules! hate autism moms(tm)!" category, or like the interminable discourse about irredeemable media and cringe special interests.

anyway, if you're allistic and you want to be an ally to autistic people, actually learn about autism beyond like. flapping and encyclopedic knowledge of steven's universe. seriously consider whether you know anything about echolalia and pronoun reversal, or uneven cognitive profiles, or types of AAC, or common commorbidities (such as eating disorders, epilepsy, and GI disorders), or intellectual disability, or why ABA therapy is abusive (not just that it is, but why), or "wandering"/"elopement", or inability to read other people's emotions, or the fusiform face area, or perseveration and cognitive rigidity, or scripting, or sensory accommodations, or self injurious behavior, or selective mutism, or processing speed, or routines, or common misdiagnoses. like. don't pretend you accept us and support us without even knowing who we are.

[sadhoc]

pronoun reversal: using second or third person to refer to yourself, often goes hand in hand with echolalia

fusiform face area: a part of the brain that is dedicated to recognizing faces. may be underactive or used for other purposes in autistic people. part of why so many of us can't recognize people

perseveration and cognitive rigidity: getting stuck on certain ideas or rules and concepts, unable to move on or look at alternatives

routines can be part of perseveration, for example i always have to have my coffee from the same cup and use the same spoon. if i can't find my spoon, i start to fall apart and it ruins the rest of my day.

AAC: alternative and augmentative communication, aka ways of communicating that aren't talking verbally. please look this one up to see the full range of what it can mean

uneven cognitive profiles: having very high skills in some areas and very low skills in other areas

processing speed: is one of those areas that's often much lower in autistic people. same with language comprehension being lower than visual reasoning.

selective mutism: becoming unable to speak when overwhelmed. not the same thing as being always nonverbal. also happens in anxiety disorders.

wandering/elopement: leaving the place you're supposed to be (for kids), getting lost. not the same thing as premeditatedly running away from home (please stop mixing them up. that's why i included this in the list. an autistic seven year old who wanders away from a school field trip because they got overwhelmed and didn't know how to ask to go home is not intentionally trying to run away forever). i used to do this because it didn't occur to me to tell people when i wanted to leave when i was overwhelmed, and would just walk away from my grandparents' house or my sister's soccer games and my parents would have no idea where i was when they noticed i was gone.

anyway, this is just a couple of things to get people started. please don't make this post the be all and end all of learning about what autism actually entails! autism is a really broad label for a lot of different experiences. you can't be an ally if you have no knowledge beyond "flappy hands and talks funny"

I love when dogs and cats just let you pat the shit out of them and they enjoy it so much. Like yeah dude real quick I just need to play you like a bongo and they’re like god yes I’ve been waiting for someone to play me like a bongo
