Republicans are saying they're letting this all happen because they're terrified of MAGA voters. Maybe it's time the left becomes scarier.

The most valuable forgiveness I can get is when my cat forgives me for accidentally stepping on him. 😭🥰

Donald Trump declared himself king.
Um... didn't we start a whole fucking country to get away from that? Military guys, don't you risk your lives so we don't have a king?
Maybe, ya know, act.
Might be a gold idea to act.

"A stranger! I must make physical contact with them as punishment for having to talk to me for any reason!"

"That person is having too much fun! I better put a stop to it!"

"Grrr How dare they feel excited/joyous so much they move around and make happy sounds! They must be stopped!"

Fucken weirdos!

What a weird life that be, just constantly like "Omg, that person is flapping their hands! I better stare at them or bitch that it's somehow bothering me all the way across the room!"

I'll keep doing it till the reactions to it are "Oh, ok." and "Yeah, I can turn off a light or two".

If people want me to shut up about it, stop making every space miserable!

I "make it my personality" because there are people insisting a Nazi salute is a stim. I might act, talk, and think differently, and I might flee from bright lights like a vampire at high noon in Pheonix, but I sure as shit don't throw Nazi signs.

I do it because people seem to think autism means I'm stupid. Even people who thought I was smart before they knew.

I do it because somehow "I'm just not up for socializing" or "I'm focused on something" doesn't cut it to decline an sctivity.

They'll refrain from enjoying something if it's too weird, too "cringe", or goes against the stereotypes for which gender they are. Right down to what music they listen to and what games they play.

They insist everyone else dress in a fairly restrictive set of "normal", so they all look similar.

They won't stim, so they bitch when we do it.

I was thinking about the people who complain I "make being #ActuallyAutistic my entire personality". They want to know why.
I'll tell you why. 🧵

It's because they make being "normal" their entire personality. Think about it...

I go for popcorn. It's stimmy, with the crunchy and the sqeaking on my teeth, and there isn't a bunch of substance to it. If I ate other foods how I eat popcorn, I'd probably need to widen my door.

Whatcha doing, Koda?
Oh, just channeling the ADHD side of AuDHD to look for my phone while holding my phone. That's all.

Autism didn't make me a good person, they only help me see patterns in my behavior that may need adjustment.

Certainly, an evil selfish person who's autistic would see patterns of behavior that don't bring the most profit, but he had to already be evil and greedy for that to happen.

I simply pointed out that selfishness, cruelty, and evilness are not autistic traits, and he would still be these things if he somehow became allistic.

Yay! I changed a mind! #ActuallyAutistic

@libreoffice LibreOffice does what I need an office suite to do so well that I forget to think about it! ...until I'm at a computer it's missing from.

@SilverArrows @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity I will never forget the Blue Screen of Death look from this gem...

"You don't look autistic!"
" 🤔 But oddly, YOU do."
[confused NT noises]

@realTuckFrumper Republicans are very literally killing us!

🤔 I'm wondering if per-mile car insurance would be a good idea. I'm not working, so I really only ride to the store. Anywhere else I go, I'm very often a passenger in a friend's car. The quote I got is a $23.10 base per month, and $0.045/mile.

My math might be wrong, but... I think my current monthly premium is like paying for 2600 miles a month. I very definitely don't drive that far, but I don't trust my math skills and fear this is a trap for people bad at math

*cackling maniacally at the idea of having this thing to solve my problem of never having enough USB charging ports*

Ah, but it's too pricey and I don't have power capacity left on my circuit.
