I'm sick of forced updates. Literally shut down my device in the middle of using it. I can't save my work, I can't opt out, I can't even delay the inevitable (they removed that option last update). I have even "turned off" automatic downloading of updates, but of course they download anyway.

Don't be shy about making alternate accounts to achieve this separation. You can make an alt that's just for rest and recovery, you can always come back when you are in the right headspace for it.

I love this account, but sometimes it's too much and I need something more chill.
Be a ruthless, pragmatic extremist when it comes to curating your social media, podcast, & video feeds so they give you resources supportive to your recovery.

Life is too short for the stupid rage bait dopamine hamster wheel the algorithm is trying to feed you.

Recovery first.

@bsky.app This is absolutely unacceptable behavior on multiple levels.

For one, labeling somebody as a terrorist on mere suspicion.

For two, taking anything this administration decides to label as terrorism seriously. Are you going to start labeling trans people as terrorists too? Fuck off.

Physical copies are where it's at. No changes, no chance of losing your account or license, no loading or buffering, no compression artifacts, no app updates, better color and HDR support, better sound and multi-channel audio support, bonus features, captions, SO many good reasons yo go physical!
As an autistic person who only ever watches the same three movies on endless loops, there’s no point in having a movie streaming service.

I buy physical copies of my comfort movies.

Weird is good! Be weird! Be wild! Let it all hang out!

Be passionate and intense and whoever is cool enough to stick around will love you for it <3

I spent a long time masking my flavor to appeal to a broader (neurotypical) audience, turns out nobody is really into that. Be your own flavor!

Came across this in my gallery last night, honestly too real. Conflicting needs and feelings are difficult to manage, especially on top of other conditions and/or around other people. Yay AuDHD 🙃

I think I figured out how to sum up the (unsupported) autistic experience into a single pipeline...

Constant & unrelenting autistic triggers → constant micro-traumas → masking → internalized autism → distinct anxiety + autistic burnout → harmful coping strategies + physical/mental health issues

Autistic me puts a lot of time/energy into making adjustments for others(for example, regularly adjusting how we communicate to meet neurotypical standards/expectations), and it’s important that we remember to make adjustments for ourselves too. We should feel comfortable and supported as well.

I sometimes feel like all my friends know I'm autistic but dont realise I'm still masking hard around them, even around (or maybe especially around) other autistic friends. I often feel like I'm working triple hard to be the smiley, chatty, conversation starter one so that they can be a bit mask off

Pro-tip. If you print your book all the way to the edges of the page, you will never make money. There's no margin.

Transmisogyny and autistiphobia both demand impossible performances - then violently punish for failing or succeeding “too well”.

Too much, not enough.

Too visible, too hidden.

Too real to ignore, too inconvenient to affirm.

Both are systems built to erase.

To deny what’s always been.

Feel this SO much. The AuDHD oscillation between safe foods and new and exciting foods is a wild ride.

Between that, sensory issues, poor interoception, hyperfixation, executive dysfunction, and demand avoidance, it's amazing that I manage to eat anything at all.
It sucks that I got the "can't eat the same meal more than three days in a row" ADHD and not the "one safe meal can last six months" autism, because it makes meal prep REALLY hard.
