Haigh, fáilte chuig mo leathanach!

You can refer to me as Nia, also known as Niapaldí or Solaspaldi. I don't use my real name due to safety purposes. I'm an Irish-republican and ecosocialist from the north of Ireland.

I'm asexual biromantic and nonbinary demiwoman. I go by both they/them and she/her pronouns.

I'm an early diagnosed medium masking verbal autistic person with moderate support needs. I also have ADHD-PI, which was late diagnosed.

I'm learning the Irish language and exploring Celtic polytheism as a way to feel more connected to the land and to help decolonise my mind. As of currently, my beliefs are in line with being an agnostic panentheist with elements of animism and polytheism.

I mainly talk about how I navigate the world as a msn autistic and how it intersects with being queer. I also post/reblog about politics and occasionally fandom related content, as well as Tighnari who is my comfort character.

My blog is mainly SFW, but I may also post/reblog about 🍃, which is why I don't want minors to interact (plus I'm more comfortable interacting with other adults).

My general interests: 🍃, celtic languages, history, nature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, space, spirituality

My media interests: anime (attack on titan, re:zero, etc), donghua (daily life of the immortal king, heaven official's blessing, etc), casual gaming (primarily open-world), fantasy genre, folk music, gorillaz, sci-fi genre, squid game, the sonic franchise

I support: anti-capitalism, Black lives matter, Irish reunification, landback, lgbtqia rights, socialism, and intersectional feminism

I am against: capitalism, colonialism, cisheteronormativity, fascism, generative ai, genocide, ice, the patriarchy, war, and white supremacy

My carrd is here, the tone tags are here, and here is my before you follow.

Showing you physical affection does not mean I want to fuck you. Showing you physical affection does not mean I want to fuck you. Showing you physical affection does not mean I want to fuck you. Showing you physical affection does not mean I want to fuck you.

This take is definitely too hot for a lot of fans but I’m gonna say it anyway: Sherlock Holmes is a canonically queer character. What type of queer he is is up to interpretation, but he is canonically, explicitly Not Straight, and people who write him as an allosexual hetero man are the ones who are actually projecting their own headcanon onto him.

I’m 100% serious. Here are the canonical facts we have about his feelings on sex/romance:

- He says multiple times that he is not interested in women. When Watson comments on the attractiveness of a woman, Holmes responds that he “didn’t notice”.

- He is uninterested in marriage and remains a bachelor his entire life, and never expresses any regret or sadness over this.

- He states that he has “never loved” (in this context it is implied that he is specifically talking about romantic love.) He repeatedly expresses disdain for romance in general.

That’s IT. That is ALL the canonical information we have about his sexuality. We know that he is capable of love in some sense, and Watson even explicitly says that Holmes loves him. But we never see any evidence that he has romantic feelings for women.

Any interpretation of Holmes as a heterosexual man directly contradicts all of the evidence we have about his sexuality. It assumes that everything he or Watson have ever said about his feelings on romance is a lie. The only interpretations of him that actually fit with all the facts are if he’s aroace, gay, or some combination thereof.

Anyway I’m going to start referring to straight interpretations of Holmes as “straight headcanons” now. Holmes is canonically queer.

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

[unfinishedauthor]

With the rise of AI, and companies, investors and shareholders spending more than they should on data centres, it isn't them who get the backlash or consequences, it's us common folk; we are having to face rising energy prices, water restrictions, and water contamination, not to mention the health issues. 

Early studies suggest that data centres have been linked to headaches, illness and even heart problems; we shouldn't have to suffer and face the consequences of these billionaire companies, thanks to the constant noise which people have recorded as high as 500 decibels. 

In Ireland, which has recently become a hot spot for data centres, they're having to pay up to 21% more on their energy bills, and when foreign wars are raging, and everything already costs enough, we shouldn't have to suffer through high energy prices. 

It's going to be a hot summer, thanks to climate change, and we shouldn't let these massive companies dictate more of our lives, and data centres can rise the ambient air temperature as much as three degrees, which might not seem like much, but a global increase of 1.5° c has resulted in dangerously hot summers, and us beginning to lose our winters. There is already a water bankruptcy, and our resevoirs are running low without this extra strain. 

In the UK, we have a beautiful countryside, and wildlife, but it is fragile, with us losing insects which are deeply important, introducing AI data centres would strike at the heart of our country. We cannot let our forests, plains, moors, and protected land become more fodder for soul, art eating AI. 

The UK government is daring to say that AI data centres are necessary for the growth of our country, when all they would do is feed foreign billionaires, run on dirty fossil fuels, rip the soul from our countryside, and cost us more. The government, and many political parties are willing to allow us to suffer for their money, but without us, they don't have power. 

We don't want dirty data centres infesting our country, and if politicians want to win the popularity contest, they have to listen. 

We should be allowed, to make decisions about our own counties to vote on, like a local election, the right to ban data centres. We should have the power over our country, not trillionaires, billionaires and millionaires who couldn't care less for our lives. 

Petition for the right to ban AI data centres in England, highlight, or copy and paste into documents/notes app to sign.

*taps mic* the queer community needs to make more effort to make pride events accessible despite corporate influence on pride and structural inaccessibility.

the queer community needs to hype up disability pride month (july btw) while queer pride month is happening. the queer community needs to amplify disabled queer experiences.

the queer community needs to recognize intersex people and how many of us have disabilities related to our intersex variation - and this Still Does Not Prove Eugenicists Right.

the queer community needs to fight ableism and love disabled people. queer or not. also quick question. why do you think the right paints us as insane predators.

I finally understand why that argument was always making me angry

[solaspaldi]

How long will it take for more people to realise that this is more than just a hot summer?! How long will it take for more people to realise that abolishing capitalism is the only way to save the planet?! Mother Earth is not going to last at this rate!!

Was recently reminded by my friend @teeg of just how much info Facebook collects to track you, and I want to share how to make that harder for them with the rest of you.

If you still have facebook/can't get rid of it (for any reason- we're not here to judge today) then you're going to want to clear your off-Meta activity.

You read that right, Meta tracks what you do off it's apps as well. It tracks other apps and websites that you use- whether you connected them to Facebook or not, AND places you visit IRL and when you visited. This includes not just stores and other businesses, but also allegedly includes hotels, schools and hospital/doctors offices. (I'm unfortunately unable to confirm the last three for myself as I didn't look closely at mine before deleting- and it's been years since I've graduated or stayed at a hotel, and months since I've been to a doctor. If anyone cares to confirm in the notes I'll update this post.)

This post will show you how to clear your off-Meta activity. (You'll also want to toggle off Ads data permissions, but I'll make another post about that later.)

First, go to your Profile Icon, then to Settings and Privacy to get to your Settings.

Once in Settings you're going to click See more in Accounts Center. On desktop it should be in a box on the upper-left of the page.

Once in Accounts Center you're going to click Your information and permissions, then Your activity off Meta technologies at the bottom of that window.

Once in the Your activity off Meta technologies window you're going to notice at the bottom three buttons, Disconnect specific activity, Clear previous activity, and Manage future activity.

You're going to want to first clear your previous activity and disconnect future activity. This will also automatically clear any activity that would be under the Disconnect specific activity tab, as it's just for picking and choosing what activity to delete.

An added benefit to this is that it will also clear out some of the data Meta uses for its AI programs- not all, but hey- that's something.

Also, even if you can't delete your Facebook account, I urge you to please delete/uninstall the app from your phone as that's the #1 best way to keep it from tracking you everywhere you go IRL and online. That said, if you delete no other Meta app from your phone- make sure to delete FB messenger- it's literally the worst one, but that's another post, which I'll hopefully get to after the FB ads one I promised above.

Stay safe out there, and remember- fuck Facebook.

there's probably a better way of wording the last part but like come on it doesn't matter if we're all the same to fascists
