Believe me when I say I know how I am & that I've always been like this. Yesterday, my therapist mentioned Stranger Things & I started telling her about the Montauk Project before I even realized what I was doing & had to be like "sorry, this has nothing to do with anything. I'm just infodumping"

I can always tell it's Sunday because all of a sudden everyone starts talking exclusively about sports instead of how the US is governed by elite pedophiles

If you're always telling me that your boyfriend is a good person, it makes me wonder if he's actually not a good person. It's a weird thing to say & we shouldn't even need to talk about it. Perhaps if he just single handedly & anonymously saved 300 children from a burning building but otherwise nah

I sincerely dislike most people. It says so much about someone when they make someone else's mental health crisis about themself. Watching a sibling be in a relationship with someone who is like our father makes me want to start stabbing people.

For some reason everyone is complaining about streaming networks right now & I have a secret for you: time is a construct. Go back & watch an old tv show or movie. Read a book that you were supposed to read in high school but never did. Go see a play or listen to Mozart. Create your own 'whatever'

Why do I have to tell the Discover feed every week that I'm not into content featuring people posting pictures of their genitals &/or writing detailed lurid descriptions of their niche kinks which are actually triggering to me?

Neurotypical person: writes email, moves on with their life
Me, autistic:
- Write email
- Read email
- Delete half of it because too much detail
- Add some of it back “just in case”
- Overthink periods & exclamation marks
- Triple-check tone, punctuation & pleasantries
- Send with major anxiety

It's barely 5 am and I'm already so tired. I really don't know how any of you are keeping any perspective right now. Everything is awful & everyone is worse. Where do we even go from here?

I loved telling my mother today that just because she personally does not like a singer's vocal choices does not mean that person has a bad voice. As a singer raised by a singer, I've needed to tell her this for decades

I've gotten much more comfortable talking about life from the perspective of an aspec person as other people have gotten more comfortable hearing me talk about it.

My opinion, & I will die on this hill, is that we shouldn't comment on other people's bodies. The times when I looked "my best" were the times when I was not taking care of myself. The times when I was in shape & taking good care of myself were the times when people were saying I was too fat. 🧵

Ok everyone roasting Elphaba for bringing home a cute boy who's DTF, taking off her coat & then putting on a sweater while cute boy is fully undressing, this is actually something l can see myself doing so shut up.

Ok you know what? I was getting ready to write my own novel about the things that bothered me about 1984 but then the ending happened & it put the things that were bothering me in a different context. I will say that the part that was hardest for me to believe was that Winston & Julia were in love.

I thought they might have changed the original Wicked Act 2 finale music because it wasn't on the soundtrack but I just found it (it's included on the score album not the soundtrack). The Elphaba/Glinda vocals at the very end is one of my favorite parts of the entire musical

You would have to understand the dynamics of my department at work to fully appreciate how shitty this is... & to be clear I don't care about the actual day... but my work anniversary was yesterday & no one has said shit to me about it. It makes me feel very sad & like I don't matter 🧵

I have a busy week so I've had to kind of smash some things together in order to get everything done. Today was re-watching part 1 of Wicked (since I'm seeing the new movie tomorrow after work when my bff gets into town) while making cranberry sauce. So it was me just sobbing over the stove top 🤣
