Processing a midlife autism diagnosis through film. And other adventures. I have a filthy mouth, but in a good way; like an unhittable slider. Life motto: "That what should be what?" - Guy Gardner

I've started a @letterboxd.social list of films that resonated with me as a late-diagnosed #autistic. None of them are about autism, but some aspects speak eloquently about the autistic experience. I hope to write about these in more detail if the autistic energy gods permit it.

I really could have used a gif of Peacemaker jumping down the balconies from season here. Internet failed me.

It’s departure day.

I’ll always believe Nora.

I apparently cannot leave the bi-state area in which I live without some unfortunate thing happening whether it be Covid or my dad going to the hospital. This time Minnesota dropped a horrid stomach bug on me.

#Task I can’t do another week with Maeve in peril you d*ckheads.

Whenever I feel it’s needed I’m gonna stop in and remind you that your first book was the first book I bought my daughter. She’s 14 now and her shelves rival mine.

Minneapolis. You are my now my second favorite city in the country. And number one for cities I could ever live in. Beautiful.

Nice that she had time fo yo!

Niche AF but when I saw this shot all I wanted was @briannaduggan.bsky.social to paint it.

Dear Task,

You better fucking not. I swear to God. No.

A 32 hour week divided by four eight-hour days is at least 10x as long as a 32 hour week broken up over five days. Don't try to fight me. It's just math.

I’m pretty sure there were some child brides in their favorite book.

Since I’m already autistic, can I take MORE Tylenol to enhance my evil powers?!?!

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 26d

Just bought a Tylenol T-shirt.

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 26d

So, does this means it's NOT vaccines? Or are vaccines still bad? Kinda hard to follow the logic of make believe science.

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 27d

So does it come from a user? Or is it a BlueSky automation thing?

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 27d

I think it’s my vicious use of the word “corny.”

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 27d

The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer is bad. Corny, cheap-looking, and no sense of awe (which is a mortal sin for a Star Wars trailer). Who, except die-hards, would be compelled to see that?

I am on a life long quest to find great everyday shoes. Dropped $125 on some Hokas and within a month I had excruciating pain in the soles of my feet, my calves, hips, and back. Put on a pair of old shoes and within three days everything had sorted out.

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 28d

In my autistic head I pictured you staring into a neighboring apartment.

And then I snorted. You were having a great time.

Cinemautistic @cinemautistic.bsky.social · 28d

Couldn’t believe how immediate it felt for a movie from 1987. We all are expendable gears in somebody’s machine.

Political violence does not just come from a fired bullet.

Political violence more often comes with the stroke of a pen.

This has the whiff of "spectacular crock of shit."

Coming of age for a psychopath

A ★★★★½ review of The Eyes of My Mother (2016)

"What the fuck" in gorgeous black and white. One of the most unsettling films I've ever seen.

In almost every case, when a politician uses the word "fight" the word "work" would be better. Our goal should be to do the work, so that we don't have to rely on the last resort of fighting. We can point to the work that needs to be done, but what does it mean when we say we must "fight?"
