the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

love the genre of discourse that’s like “the world used to be [thing it never was] but now society is [I’m over thirty]”

Cleaning gets easier when you remember it's a thing you're doing to make your life less miserable, and not a thing you're doing as punishment

You can stop in the middle of cleaning!?

[wheeloffortune-design]

Yes! Because it's not a goal to be achieved, but a cycle!

Instead of seeing the house as clean/not clean, it helps a lot to see cleaning as a constant upkeep of your environment. Taking care of your home, and of yourself, is a good thing!

(still unlearning the guilt and anxiety associated with cleaning. it's an uphill battle.)

truly do not understand workplace drama. we're stuck here doing stupid bullshit for 8 hours and you want to make it worse? But on the other hand I love hearing about arguments that are not and never will be my problem

people who attempt to distance autism from the less socially acceptable traits think they’re destigmatising autism when what they’re actually doing is pinning all inconveniences back on individual autistic people. which funnily enough is what I would call Bad and Unhelpful

[identitty-dickruption]

“autistics aren’t actually low empathy” may look like an attempt to make autism less scary to the general public but it roughly translates to “next time you meet a low empathy autistic person remember that it’s entirely their own fault and not their autism at all <3”. tell me how that helps

I'm seeing a lot of posts where the overall point is good, but it's still full of dubious information. People act like questioning the sources is a betrayal of the virtue of the point, but, and I cannot stress this enough:

You should still question sources you agree with.
