"When aggression within human groups is used to prevent power grabs, rather than assert dominance, sharing, tolerance, and cooperation increase exponentially."

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination.

The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

I hate the term "revenge bedtime procrastination" because actually engaging in it feels a lot less like revenge to me and a lot more like desperately clinging to the little freedom that I have in my life. It often feels like a need for fulfillment or regulation or peace. But never revenge.

Watching breakdancing videos is visual stimming.

Everybody wants to talk about self care, but nobody wants to talk about compassion fatigue of the people around you when you're disabled.

My dog just sat up, burped in my face, waited a moment, looked disappointed, then laid back down.

So that's how things are going around here.

You're welcome for the update. ;)

Me: I know I'm autistic af, but I really don't get the whole "eat the same food over and over again" thing.

Also me: I like this breakfast item. It tastes good and makes me full without giving me a bellyache. I shall eat it every day henceforth until an outside force prevents me from being able to.
