Anyobe else troubled on a feminist intersectionality level by how archetypes about shitty dudes and stereotypes about autistic men seem to dovetail; not just in the general “neckbeard stereotype” stuff but more specifically in stuff like; say; how the idea of mansplaining has a suspicious amount of overlap with the very much autistic phenomena of infodumping? Am I the only one who thinks that miiiiiight not be a coincidence?

Especially troubling given that, consciously or not, the right-wing dipshit brigade tends to prey on autistic dudes who feel othered by giving them an explaination for their pain, and the othering we engage in may not be helping…

[That’s not to say that autistic women, especially autistic trans women don’t get the short end of the stick intersectionality-wise, I just don’t know specifically how, but feel free to give examples if you’re in that demographic]

Preach.

Let’s get rid of the idea that someone has to talk to you 24/7 to like you or even love you. I know how it feels to want to talk to someone all day but life takes different turns. Patience.

I have bpd, amanda.

WE CANT ALL BE NEUROTYPICALS LIKE YOU KAREN

i have BPD too and this thought process was my downfall lol. i have been in multiple unhealthy relationships and have been miserable bc of this! OP isnt making a radical statement- this is true! it took me years to realize that someone doesnt need to talk to me 24/7 to like me. in fact, they have their OWN life and are allowed to have other friends and its unhealthy to expect them to dedicate all of their time to me.

i would get so angry when my favorite person wasnt talking to me but now i realize its unfair to both of us to expect them to be able to talk all the time. and yep, this site made it seem like me begging this person to talk to me constantly and get angry at them for having a life is normal and healthy. it isnt! it isnt “neurotypical” to let people have their own lives. its still hard for me! but you can ask for reassurance and remind yourself that its not healthy to expect someone to be able to talk to you 24/7. its hard, i know, but stop saying healthy behaviors are “neurotypical” and stop normalizing unhealthy behaviors that often can turn abusive (yes, getting pissed off at your partner for having a life or talking to people that arent you IS emotionally abusive behavior)

That last sentence tho

Hi, I’m here to propose that A.A. Milne’s distinctive syntax in the Winnie-the-Pooh books is a major origin of modern Capital Letters Used For Emphasis On The Internet. Observe:

(in which Pooh wryly self-deprecates)

(in which Eeyore masters modern sarcasm)

(in which Eeyore is vagueblogging)

(in which Owl says something i would absolutely type in the YOOL 2017)

(In which Eeyore continues to be a shining example to us all)

(in which Pooh describes a Big Mood)

(in which Piglet has a Relatable Experience)

I could go on, but you can read the books and find your own. It’s a weirdly modern-feeling layer to an old, thoroughly enjoyable story and most of the original Pooh books are online for free. I cited from this online text upload of the book. Enjoy!

Oh hey look at that I posted a poems, right like I wanna get my presence on this blog regular again, I miss you guys! But like, moving to London and uni and like uugghhhhhhhhhh, busy bee. I’m gonna try and post on here more, maybe more bitesized content or something, I dunno.
