a new chapter of electromagnetic pulse is up and i am once again praising lore matrix for their portrayal of simon’s autism. as someone similar to him, who has lived her whole life not really knowing what my shutdowns/meltdowns mean, it is so real and raw.
my bf is also my safe space during my shutdowns, just like jack is for simon. even when he doesn’t understand why i can’t talk or move, he’s more than happy to just ride out the storm with me <3

A nuclear plant in Richmond County, South Carolina with a history of contaminating groundwater has leaked radioactive uranium into the soil below the plant, The State reported Tuesday.
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) officials said there was no reason to believe this leak left the the site of the Westinghouse plant or posed a threat to public drinking water, but state senator Darrell Jackson is calling for a public meeting to discuss the leak and other historic issues at the plant, The State further reported Wednesday.
The company informed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the leak July 12, which came through a hole in a part of the plant where acid is used. The hole was three inches and extended six feet into the ground, the NRC told The State.
The NRC found uranium levels in the soil of 4,000 parts per million, more than 1,000 times higher than average for soil.
"That's a lot, oh yeah," U.S. Geological Survey scientist Frank Chapelle told The State.
The company has covered the hole with a metal plate and said it would not use the area until it was completely repaired.
The DHEC said they were still testing the groundwater on the site to see if it was contaminated, but said the plant itself was far enough away from public drinking water that it shouldn't cause a problem.
"Based on existing information, there is no threat to the public from this recent release or from historical groundwater contamination at this secured site as there is no exposure risk to the general public," DHEC spokesperson Tommy Crosby told The State.
