Autistic And ‘Needing To Be Right’

Any enby/transmasc poets out there, let your voice be heard ! :)

🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender men and non binary people who identify as masculine. This post is for you.

Let’s come together and ink 🖋️ our truths.

📣📣📣

Calling all trans masculine verse alchemists who navigate the spectrum of manhood, the nuances of identity, the weightlessness of freedom, and the power of self-discovery through verse. As a fellow traveler on this self-guided path, I'm envisioning a collaborative collection a ebook where we can lay down the raw, unfiltered poetry that emerges from our unique experiences.

⚧️⚧️⚧️

Let’s share the quiet moments of self-recognition to the bold declarations of identity, from the joys of affirmation to the battles fought and won. We can craft a tapestry of trans masculine lives in ink. A brand new collaboration and fresh project, not a part of my minority based project “voices for the Voiceless”. If your poetic voice resonates with the multifaceted reality of being a trans guy, and you're ready to forge something powerful and authentic together, connect with me at

Let's make this collection a testament to our strength and our stories. Non-binary people who identify as masculine also are welcome.

Much love 🖤

Your value and worth as a person does not lie in how productive you are.

You are so much more than the amount of shit you get done (or don't get done) and no person can be judged by something like this alone. We are so much more my loves.

Just wanted to say that in case you needed to hear this. <33

i don’t know which autistic/adhd/any kind of neurodivergent person needs to hear this but: make a “just in case” bag

this is a pic of mine. it contains:

loop earplugs on the zipper

prescription glasses with a clip on sunglasses attachment

my public transport discount card

a pen

a glasses cloth + wet glasses wipes (which can also be used to clean my hands if needed!

wireless earbuds in case my headphones give out

tips for my apple pencil + silicon covers if i need a different texture/the sound is too loud

a sanitary pad (not for me, as i had a hysterectomy, but i like carrying one around for my menstruating friends)

a pouch with hair ties for when my hair bothers me

autism lanyard (not pictured, as i put it in after i took it)

will i use these every day? not necessarily. but it’s good to have these all in one place in a little pouch so it’s easy to throw into my bag as i use different ones for different occasions. that way i don’t have to think about all these things individually.

it might seem like common sense for some people, but i didn’t think of this until recently. so i wanted to share this in case it could be handy for other people. some more ideas for what to put in your bag under the break. you can make this as big or as small as you like so some ideas may seem a bit big

powerbank + cables (preferably a powerbank that has a LOT of charge)

snacks (do keep an eye on the expiration date)

painkillers/emergency meds (same thing about the expiration date)

sewing kit

deodorant/perfume

mini fan

hand warmers

scissors/nail clippers (for when tags/threads/your nails are bothering you)

tweezers

lucky charm (i have my lucky cat keychain. it just calms me to have)

plushie/stress ball/fidget toy

mints/a mini toothbrush and toothpaste

extra pair of underwear (for if you suddenly need to stay somewhere overnight or if an accident happens)

comb

band-aids + disinfectant

hand cream/soothing cream

soap/soap leaves

similarly, some mini shampoo or mini body wash (again for if you suddenly need to stay the night. there’s probably already some wherever you’re staying but again. this is a just in case bag)

q-tips

chapstick

makeup remover wipes

razors

hand sanitizer/general sanitizer

wet wipes/tissues

foldable bag

ruler/tape measure

this is a lot but keep in mind, these are just ideas. you don’t have to use everything, just pick out which things you think would be handy for you and make your bag accordingly. do feel free to add onto the list if you have any other ideas.

Some blinkies I made !

i feel like one of the weirdest realizations you (or at least i) eventually have a few years into transitioning and being mostly around other trans people, is that moment where u notice that like ur brains mapping of like specific voices to specific genders is just kinda gone. like it rly is just all social constructs programmed into u by society, and living outside societies idea of gender just kinda melts that shit away, and it's not just voices, like other traditionally gendered attributes also suddenly don't matter anymore*

*except for myself of course, i am obviously totally failing at being a girl but everyone is doing it perfectly, dysphoria is so awesome lmao

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

my house is so cold!! if only there were a big strong boy here to scoop me up and hold me close to him.. siiiigh… leans on expensive car…
