the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i find the “would harrow drink black coffee” discourse fascinating because by all accounts she would not. she would not drink coffee at all. she canonically only drinks water by choice. when forced to drink anything else her senses get so overwhelmed it’s nearly painful. she’s given the sad ninth equivalent of lemonade (sugar-water with a drop of preserved lemon) and it’s described as being both too lemony and too sweet for her. the specific words used are “half pleasure, half pain” and “almost hurt[ing] her teeth.” what makes you think she’d be able to handle anything stronger than a glass of room-temperature water or perhaps, on fancy days, a glass of skim milk

murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"

my honest reaction after reading htn

I'm back on my bullshit (the bullshit being bad TLT memes)

Thinsecurity is a seductive thing. It tells thin people that feeling badly about one's own body is the worst-and only-outcome of difficult experiences with our bodies. They cannot fathom what are such commonplace experiences for very fat people: A stranger recommending a surgeon. A familymember withholding food until you look like you need it. Fat camp. Being recommended for The Biggest Loser. And on and on and on. Those experiences are too far from their own, unimaginable to someone who has so long been locked in place by their perception of their own body. So straight size people reinterpret them, make them something easier to understand. Rather than talking about body-based oppression, they revert the conversation to their thinsecurities.

When fat activists talk about body-based oppression, thinner body positivity activists paint it over, replacing it with a more palatable insecurity. But when we don't talk about body-based oppression, we're strangely lauded for our confidence.

What we don't talk about when we talk about fat - Aubrey Gordon

kudos’ing a fic is not enough i have to take the author out on a date

You can use any travel method you like, walking, public transport, so on. You can get an uber but their map has failed so you'll have to give directions. You can travel to other countries and count those libraries but you have to be able to completely navigate from your home without assistance. So you can catch a plane but must be able to travel to and from the airport. No limit on how long it takes. If you know which block it's on or which tram line but aren't sure precisely, but you feel sure you'd find it once you got there, count that as a yes (if you're not sure maybe google it now and see if your plan would work). You cannot rely on asking for directions though, this must be all your knowledge
