When are we gonna talk about the overlap of Neurotypicality and it's social expectations with "nice white" social expectations and how it's almost across the board the same? "Almost" like Neurotypicality is just a facet of whiteness.
I should make some kind of chart or lmk if you've seen one.

Move up Move Back x1000 til all the ppl who are quiet and sidelined and discouraged from speaking are supported by those who do and become confident too bc they feel valued and listened to and then we all become confident that we can be heard and hierarchical social dynamics are just irrelevant.

History is full of "unlikely" leaders. You don't wanna be missing out on that, bc you only give leadership roles to abled, extroverted ppl.
+ it leads to Conflict bc the ppl who get sidelined will not be quiet and nice about it forever so check urself before it gets to that point.

Pedestaling those who are louder, more normatively abled, including in speech and presentation, when they don't know how to share power, you all do not want that trust me, they get attached to their positioning and will throw anyone under the bus to keep it. (Cont)

It seems like not that long ago it was a regular thing ppl said, the "step up step back" thing and now that's just, like vanished.
"Natural Leadership" qualities as people are saying are ableist, they have elements of other oppressions too. (Cont)

"of course" we want people to lead who are "good at leading" (so, neuropriv'd abled, extroverted, confident) ppl seem not to have heard of sharing power or checking in with the quiet or shy people suddenly. What gives, is it a symptom of online culture w social justice celebs? (Cont)

What happened to Move Up Move Back? Now I'm seeing: let's pedestal the ppl that show "leadership qualities" i.e. they are extroverted, norm abled and speeched and confident. And when anything is brought up challenging that they act like they don't know what I'm talking about. (Cont)

I really loved this ginko tree against the rain drenched sky. Unfortunately pic doesn't do it justice. It was just so heart lifting, like a friend that gets you to go outside and touch grass when yr depressed.

Bc I'm a synesthete, I dont like IG, my words already have a picture, trying to find a pic that matches what I see would be near impossible. I'd have to do a whole painting for everytime I post. I need the option to paint with just my words if I don't have the right pic bc the wrong one ruins it.

Anyone have this? Common denominator thinking. Like the riddle what does x, y, & z have in common, my brain is always doing that. Like how does this art connect to politics and mysticism but like REALLY disparate elements being connected. Things resist categorization, they are always blending.

Synesthesia: it's not just the average 5 senses but also interoception. Like I look at concrete and I feel like I'm licking it, suddenly I feel every bump on my tongue and also my heart stings and my stomach fills with indigestible grit. It makes sense why I feel a million times better in Nature.

Synesthesia with sensory sensitivity is WILD. It's not just a color for a smell but like a whole movie unfolds in an instant, often a beautiful romantic tearjerker. But if I smell exhaust or garbage I can't stop seeing gray and red oozing tentacles that grab and shake my bones for the next 12 hrs.

Monotropism: I'm generally considered eclectic bc you might hear me expound on Ice Age art, the history of eugenics and crosstich in one rant and connect them. Varied special interests. BUT it sucks all the ability from everything else, like walking and eating. This is not really fun, trust me.

This piece on my Substack about NQ and Mad aloneness and do we want that but the state of grace when we're alone and in our flow but also the barriers to not being alone if we don't wanna be and also how much they're missing out by excluding and not learning about us esp in Liberation movements.

This better be stay a place you can be dorky. I used to be dorky on IG posting like whimsical pics of me eating Haribo cola bottles in the Alps or urban decay that makes cool colors. Now it's Edgy Mean Girl Land. I declare this my dork space. PLEASE don't follow me if you don't want that.

I think this app seems to be working better for my nervous system tho I'm not sure why, I think some core aspect of my being always rejected the nagging sense of Corp algos and surveillance? Can't imagine why....anyway, here to pay my cat tax.

Hey, so I understand this app does not allow AI training? If thats true I'm very glad bc I wanna share my artwork. I just wanna share arts and poems and funny things I see on my walks with my autism-painter eye. I don't wanna be relevant all the time. I have my Substack for that. Here is art:
