Does anyone have a #FairPhone ? Would you recommend them? https://www.fairphone.com/

I don’t need a new phone right now but I’m trying to think about future choices and don’t want to give Apple any more of my money.

(What I’m actually doing right now is procrastinating because I don’t want to deal with my to do list.)

@inthehands @jenniferplusplus @Tiffany Agreed!!

@jenniferplusplus @inthehands Especially since the Cybermen arise multiple times in different contexts but always with the same fascist outcome.

On mornings like this when I’m melancholy and feeling lonely (and this question of whether I’m allowed to know myself as autistic and use this language for myself and be in the community rather than just advocating for the community as an outsider… this question is having me feel like I’ll always be lonely). Anyway, on mornings like this I feel a bit sad and uncertain about everything. And I just want to know the right answer.

I am thinking about autism this morning. Every self-assessment I’ve taken since I was a teenager scores ‘yep, that’s you’. (I have taken a LOT of self-assessments. Every few years I’ll go through a whole bunch, just to confirm.) But I don’t have a formal diagnosis. And even though I would never require a formal diagnosis from anyone else, I have still, for decades, struggled to know whether I’m ‘allowed’ to understand myself in this way or speak about myself as #autistic.
