I went to a party and the host was like "Hi, you should come sit here!" and put me next to the other autistic queer person, which to be fair was probably the right move

Hokay I don't "sales" much on my social medias, but since I'm getting two chunks of my spine removed on Tuesday and don't know how long that'll mess with my ability to do stuff... I'm gonna say if you want tusks for Halloween, get the orders in this weekend!

I think what you did you help put them at ease was very sweet, and you should judge yourself more by that than how you reacted when the part of you that is made of meat was telling you to escape. You're a good guy, and you should try to show yourself the kindness that you give to strangers

When you get startled like that, your sympathetic nervous system engages, releasing adrenaline and other hormones to prime you for a fight or flight response. It's great for running away from predators, but it significantly degrades your ability to navigate awkward bilingual social situations.

In Runaway to the Stars, the Avian species have wings, but the only time any of them actually flies is if they're working out/playing sports or in enough of a hurry that a human in the same situation would be sprinting

I am a host for Fastest Furs Fall Fest this weekend (real post re: that incoming), but it’s been forever since I’ve been on a stream, soooo… maybe Otto Stream tonight so I can remember how to talk into a microphone? :3

Probably sometime after dinner! Come hang!

Highly Refined Pirates and Menos El Oso are two of the best road trip albums of all time

Another week, another trip to the emergency room for my mom. This is so stressful and difficult, but I feel awful complaining because it's been so much worse on my mom and my sister. This has really just been the worst fucking year

I would love to get some bone conduction headphones, but I cannot find a single brand that makes them large enough for my stupid giant head

Coral Tower was making me hate life, but I swapped to Architect Crest with Flintslate and Pin Badge and cleared it in like 45 minutes.

I am getting close to the end of act 3 in Silksong, and yes it is really fucking hard. I keep finding that if I'm bashing my face against something and getting nowhere though, that means it's time to switch my crest and tool loadout and try a new approach

I was of a similar opinion before starting act 3

I finished Anathem the other day, and man, that book has EVERYTHING - science monks, multiple thousand-plus word dialogues about platonism vs nominalism, aliens from France

"I wouldn't want to live forever" and "life wouldn't have meaning without death" are just extreme cope that people tell themselves to avoid facing the fact that death sucks and living forever isn't actually an option

When I'm NOT having issues with it I feel like it gets me really caked up

Unfortunately my hip thrust is heavy enough that I don't think any amount of padding is going to help if I get something pinched. My ass is just too powerful

"Are you going to bed?"
"No, it's only 1015. I'll just go sleep sitting up on the couch for an hour first."

Helix @murderdeathhug.bsky.social · 10d

This is kind of an embarrassing problem, but I'm starting to have a hard time with hip thrusts now because I keep ending up pinching tiny folds of loose skin under the belt, and it fucking HURTS

I'm avoiding yelling at a stranger in someone else's comments, so I'll complain about it here. When someone is complaining about some aspect of being fat and you respond with "You're not fat, you're sexy!" they should be allowed to kill you with a hammer

I like cooking steak for other people because I'm really good at it, but I don't actually like eating steak. Especially with fatty cuts, the texture is just so nauseating. I am perfectly happy to make ribeye for everyone else and just have some chicken salad while receiving praise for the steak
