i cannot stress the importance of letting yourself be autistic

not just the good parts, not the parts that are met with an “aw, that’s a good autistic trait, so it’s ok!”

no. fuck that. you’re autistic, and as long as you’re not hurting anyone (including yourself), do whatever the fuck you need to in order to have your needs met and feel comfortable. 

it sounds harsh, but sometimes it needs to be: fuck other peoples’ feelings. they are not the top priority in your life, you are.

Titan: Ligeia Mare and environs

Numerous lakes of hydrocarbons and seas are visible: at the top is the prominent body of liquid known as Ligeia Mare; the main centers are in the northernmost part of Kraken Mare and on the island of Mayda Insula; and in the bottom center is a portion of Punga Mare. In the lower right corner, Jingpo Lacus reveals a series of sinuous canals in its lake bed, while Bolsena Lacus appears in the lower left corner.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you’re neither lazy nor useless, fatigue is a symptom of your illness(es) and it’s completely reasonable that a fatigued person would struggle with the things you’re struggling with

This reminds me of some NASA Mars lander concepts. Maybe it’s coz I see the Worm logo on the side of a lander.

This was NASAs human lander for the 1990s proposed First Lunar Outpost missions to the Moon that never made it to the Moon. Unlike Apollo missions which used Lunar orbit rendezvous it was to use direct descent and ascent with the astronauts riding in an Apollo style capsule to and from the Moon’s surface. The unmanned version carried the outpost that could support a crew of four for up to 45 days.

Charlie: “That ain’t very fun, is it?”

John: “That ain’t very smart.”

It’s Apollo 16′s 48th anniversary so here’s a gifset of Charlie Duke tripping, falling, dropping things and generally being clumsy on the surface of the Moon

Saturn Behind the Moon : What’s that next to the Moon? Saturn. In its monthly trip around the Earth – and hence Earth’s sky – our Moon passed nearly in front of Sun-orbiting Saturn earlier this week. Actually the Moon passed directly in front of Saturn from the viewpoints of a wide swath of Earth’s Southern Hemisphere. The featured image from Sydney, Australia captured the pair a few minutes before the eclipse. The image was a single shot lasting only 1/500th of a second, later processed to better highlight both the Moon and Saturn. Since Saturn is nearly opposite the Sun, it can be seen nearly the entire night, starting at sunset, toward the south and east. The gibbous Moon was also nearly opposite the Sun, and so also visible nearly the entire night – it will be full tomorrow night. The Moon will occult Saturn again during every lap it makes around the Earth this year. via NASA
