@granolalawyer Your friend sounds like a bad planner, tbh. You plan for things like traffic delays when deciding how early to leave for the airport - if 3 minutes is the difference between being able to check in in time or not and it's not an emergency trip, you fucked up your scheduling.

just a reminder from an obsessive federal court watcher: if there’s even a sliver of a possibility that a US attorney might squint at that post & see 18 usc 875 or 115, just log off. take a walk. i’m sure it was a great joke & we would’ve loved it, but the judge will not retweet.

Are people seriously arguing if "straights" are allowed at Pride? Straight people have ALWAYS existed within the LGBTQUIA2+ community. Sexual orientation is NOT the only part of the equation. Straight trans people exist, Aro/Ace people exist, like seriously come on now people.

@mykola Nice. Incidentally, based on some of your tweets, I think we might be living in the same area or maybe even city currently.

@SNeurotypicals @mightbeautistic That's what the 3 foot long shark is for. To wrap your arms around so they don't get in the way.

@mykola Okay, I unironically need this as a poster. This sums up how I approach life way more accurately than I usually expect from Twitter.

everyone “understands” that you’re autistic… until you need some understanding. everyone can acknowledge, “oh, yes, that person is autistic”… until you behave in a slightly autistic way and they ask, “why are you being like that?”

@fps_hannah And then of course there's just "picking things up" too. Sometimes when I can't empathize it's because I don't know what's going on in someone's head, not that I wouldn't understand if they actually sat down and communicated it.

@fps_hannah Depends on the type. Emotionally, I don't feel like I'm very empathetic. Cognitively, I compensate with pattern recognition, studying psychology, etc. to understand how people feel in a more academic sense.

@BobLovesData Is this like the reverse of acting like people stop being autistic once they become an adult 🤔?

I wake up every day to fight for something or somebody. Asking someone who does that “if it’s worth it” is odd to me. Yes it’s worth it, even if we don’t win every battle, those who are victims of hate or anti-LGBTQ+ policy deserve to have folks right there with them fighting.

I really don’t know why our statewide LGBTQ+ non-profit called the recent action by Columbia to become a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ folks a “symbolic action.” The work folks like @m_j_tully and other Mizzou students did was enacting a transformative piece of legislation. Our community doesn’t need “hope and feelings,” folks urgently need LGBTQ+ protections at the local level. (1/2)

In a society still learning to understand us, knowing ourselves—our triggers, our needs—isn't just self-care, it's self-respect. We're not 'malfunctioning'; we're uncovering the depth of our autistic selves in a world playing catch-up. Don't apologize for being you.
