Recently a couple of the autistic kids I work with have inspired me with openly, unapologetically owning it.
Like one kid saying “if I don’t make eye contact it’s because I find that hard and it’s easier to concentrate on what you’re saying if I’m not looking at you.”
And another one asking for clarification of an ambiguous statement to check understanding instead of just hoping for the best.
And one saying “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard”
I have so much respect for them for being able to voice those things! It’s inspired me to try harder to do that instead of masking until I meltdown because I’m so scared of how people will react.
everything they say about libras is true
(I'm a flirt)
(I'm a bitch)
(can't help my good taste)
@taylorswift performed the "1989" set for the first time owning it
On throwing out your back to be cool, and failing.
Democrats (well the leadership, not the voters as much) are the kid whose entire life revolves around what the school bully *might* say. Democrats are me in middle school getting a backache because I was terrified two straps were "uncool" (only dorks use a bag designed carry heavy objects correctly)
Democrats come in, listing to the side like a sinking ship as the heavy bag full of books slowly pulls them over, never realizing what made one strap so "cool" was having nothing in your bag: because you aren't some huge nerd who likes books.
Leaders have a responsibility to set an example, to project better values. When Democratic leaders let the criticism from the far right shape how they present themselves they normalize conservative and extremist vales. I wish they'd stop making this mistake.

a thought; jason dying with blue eyes, is blind and with grayish eyes upon resurrection ( i like to call that an universal hiccup ) & finally; the lazarus pit heals his blindness and permanently marks him with green eyes.
