Hi I am once again waddling on here to share my opinions.

Those memes where it's like "my life is boring and repetitive I should change something up" and they take the long way home or make a pit stop they don't normally do or something but it's made out to be insignificant and ephemeral?

Knock that shit off. You changed up your routine a bit like you said you would. It's small, yes, and ultimately immaterial, but so is your entire life. If you can make your short time on this earth a little less boring by doing one thing, why wouldn't you?

Also, even a small change of scenery is good for your brain. It needs adventure and stimulation. The reason so many of us are burnt out and exhausted is because there's not enough enrichment in our enclosures. If you can, take a weekend off and go to the park or something.

Open discussion about why "the puzzle piece" is offensive to autistic people, begins now.

The short of the long is that we hate the implication of a "missing piece." That because we're wired differently, something about us is incomplete. Or worse, that we need allistics to put us back together. We were never broken. We were never missing anything. That implies autism is anything but congenital, and that rhetoric enabled such organizations as Autism $peaks (derogatory) to exploit the misplaced fear of parents of children with autism.

To somehow cure a congenital neurological quirk.

With *bleach.* I'm not kidding. Autism $peaks wants to "cure" autism by *killing autistic kids.*

People who wear the puzzle piece merch and have puzzle piece license plates aren't the problem, however. They don't know it's offensive. The problem is these for-profit disinformation mills who popularized the symbol.

And if you're someone who uses it in earnest support, I'm not mad at you. You didn't know. But the accepted symbol now is a rainbow infinity sign, representing the mutability of the spectrum and the bajillion ways autism can manifest.

Anyway if you think your sexuality or gender are majority, in part, or even wholly determined by your mental illness, to that I say:

And so what if it is? Both are an irrevocable part of you, so why does being neurodivergent invalidate your identity? Kill your inner Fed. Kill your inner ableist. You are the only you that you will ever be, so you may as well make that everyone else's problem.

That immaterialistic hypoempathic mood where you're just like "why are people actually buying gamer girl bath water. It's just fucking dirty water that's gross and going to grow algae after a few months"

Or "why should I give a shit about random crap that's been in my family for generations even though it's just random crap"

Anyway I will singlehandedly dismantle capitalism by simply growing my own food and living in the woods

Compounding on that, because fuck it, I'll make my own damn post

I used to be that guy. I still struggle with being that guy. It isn't easy, when society has trained you incognito to be rude or condescending toward people with disfigurements or disabilities, or to pity them. But speaking as someone who has little to no empathy, it's possible. You can do it.

This isn't me being like "oh well if I, a person who has no empathy, can be nice and respectful to someone with a congenital defect or an injury that destroyed their face, you can, too, you have no excuse." That is part of it, but what I really mean to say is that you need to look past the "deformity" and see the mind. Even if part of the mind's functionality has been damaged, or even all of it, because of something beyond a person's control, you owe it to them to treat them like a person and not a fucking sideshow attraction.

This site preaches accessibility for the disabled, but if you don't put it into practice, all you're doing is virtue signaling. Put your money where your fucking mouth is and just be fucking nice to people. No exceptions. No "well what if they're an asshole," I don't care if they're an asshole. People will put out what they get in. I don't care if you're frustrated. Pretend you're not. It will get easier with time.

As a small commentary on The Owl House leak

If you watched it, that's a tally against you. This show has suffered enough without being hurt by pirates and miners who want the content and support the content but don't support it financially.

We've been preaching "no money, no Tumblr" on here, the same goes for your favorite shows and books.
