All good, I rewarded myself with a chill sit down at my favorite local cafe. White mocha included, of course! 💖

Me sitting in the break room wondering if I made the right decision to try for this career path again... While my knee throbs.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry 😭 I wish you the best 🫂

I'm not gonna let a major company like Meta pick and choose what I can and cannot say. I'm not letting them paint me like I'm a villain or a disease plaguing the land. With that said, you're probably gonna see me more often.

Screw being silenced. Neurodivergent people deserve to be seen, heard, understood, and respected.

So yes, I am going to take my intellect being silenced VERY seriously. I was one of the very few lucky students to make it out of my hometown's special education program with dignity. I have a good friend who fell victim to it because no one backed her up. She was silenced.

I had to fight to even have a chance at these achievements. There were paraprofessionals hellbent on sending me to the SPED classroom. If I didn't apply to a regional high school, I would have ended up in that class until I was 22, only to have the qualifications to bag groceries.

For reference, I ended high school with a 90 weighted GPA, ~1600 on the SATs (the median is 1200), and a $14k scholarship on top of locally funded scholarships. I am not stupid.

So now it looks like I took the aggressive route without going into a logical debate. I am so peeved. As an autistic person, I feel it is my right to be seen and heard entirely, to showcase my true intellect that others claim I lack.

I replied to someone calling me dumb. They tried putting words in my mouth and I corrected them. Then I felt spicy so the next comment I posted was along the lines of, "you're the dumb one," and that stayed while the other commented simply vanished without any warning.

And if the universe confuses roguelike for roguelite, I will riot. I don't want upgrades to my current save file, I just want to start over.
