Hey guys.

As I've said multiple times before, this is a fandom blog. I post about Star Wars and things related to it, sometimes with little hints of my Thoughts™️ about the current state of the world. But right now I'm on crisis, having a burnout and need to say something about it.

So the world is going to hell. We are all worried out of our fucking minds, so I thought I'd share this list with you. It has a recopilation of fundraisers you can donate some money to and petitions you can sign if you want to help someone, and also relevant information a lot on fascism for some reason, I'm sure it's not important right now. It's still incomplete so it will be updated every once in a while, but I thought it was a good starting point.

I don't know if it will help on anything, but I thought I should share it, just in case. This post may be updated in the future with new important links.

Have a good day/afternoon/night, and take care. Drink water, be kind to the people around you and stay safe.

Today I have discovered something interesting about the way I try to relate to other people's experiences, and now I'm a little worried that I sometimes come across as selfish to people when I'm trying to show them I understand what they're talking about.

So, when somebody is telling me about something they did, or an experience they've been through, my default reaction is to look for commonality, so if they mention they went on holiday to "X" location, and I've been there or somewhere similar, I'll respond with "Oh yeah, I've been to X/X-like place as well, it's so nice isn't it?". I'll relate their experience back to my experience, my intention being to foster a common thread between us as we converse.

...apparently, this is not really how most people converse, but tends to be employed mainly by autistic people, which I am. Genuinely did not know this was a thing we did, I actually assumed this was just how you were supposed to talk with people. Curiosity turns to horror when it is then explained to me that engaging in this type of response can be seen by neurotypical/allistic people as selfish, as I'm/we're diverting attention from the person's experience and making it about ourselves/our own experience at their expense.

And now I'm worried that I've inadvertently been doing this with people my whole life, but everyone's too polite to tell me about it. I mean, I'm going to try not to make it an entire thing, but wow... I never knew that in thirty-three years of being autistic.

All that to say, if you're chatting with me and I seem to turn the conversation onto myself/my own experiences, and that makes you feel a bit hurt or dismissed, I'm genuinely sorry about that. Please understand it's not coming from a self-serving place, but out of trying to establish common threads with you, and for my part I'll endeavour to respect you if you'd rather I didn't.

So... yeah! If anyone reading this didn't know about that... now you do! Haha :)

Just heard from an inside source that Trump cut funding to social services, and children not born in the US are being deported despite being adopted by US citizens

One of the top reasons I kin Kiyo is because of their inability to communicate with people well due to their interests that no one wants to hear about.

You may think I’m wrong but I’m not. My interests are manipulation tactics and mental illnesses and disorders. Most have trauma connected to manipulative people and the last thing I want to do is hurt people with my interests. So the interest I talk about the most is danganronpa which is the least intense of my interests therefore the only thing I ever talk about

This also makes talking with people very difficult because I tend to get very bored if I’m not talking about things I find interesting.

I only find dark things interesting

Why can’t I like dolphins or something???

Black Seminoles

I have a question for you. Do your teachers ever teach the Seminoles? See this is what I mean. Do they ever teach you about Black Seminoles? I’m guessing not. Well, lets get into the lesson!

 Black Seminoles are black Indians associated with Seminoles people in Florida and Oklahoma. Their blood descendants come from Seminoles. Free of blacks and escaped slaves.

  You know when you have enemies right? It was kinda like  The Seminoles and Black Seminoles, they had a bittersweet relationship. Also, they help each other a lot, plus they even got married to each other. Well that’s it for the Black Seminoles. 

 Now I am going to tell you kids how Florida became popular back in time...

So people only think that the underground railroads were only in Maryland , but that’s not the case there every where. But the Spanish and English wanted to come to Florida because of the nice weather. Eventually, the Spanish and British had a war ( this is where the black people help defend the Spanish). Nothing but a man named Andrew Jackson ( the 7th president of U.S) wanted to take over Florida. This as because of the Seminoles retaliatory strikes against the U.S. But overtime, the Spanish caught Florida again and gave it to the United States. 

Okay... so you know I said that was it for the Black and Seminoles. Well umm I have some more information.

 A grace period of time, Seminoles got treated fairly than the Black Seminoles ( as the usual always treating our people bad *sighs*). Even it got so bad that other natives wanted the Seminoles to enslave Black Seminoles. But the Seminoles refused .Phew! 

But this Andrew Jackson dude always ruining Black business and relationships with other people. Even this guy said that when it comes to Black people change your policy. The truth is that The Seminoles treat black people like regular people. FINALLY! Somebody being nice to us, showing us RESPECT. 

 I wish I could say the same about  Oklahoma. OMG! Black Seminoles and Seminoles are disabled, disunited everything. The worst part is that the Seminoles treated Black people bad. Like come on now this is not Rock it Science. 

I have a life lesson for you. friends that you have now won’t be the same friends you will have forever. So keep your space little.
