Dude, Spez has said he doesn't care about reddit users. He's said that he's gonna wait it out. He does. Not. Care. And shutting down 196 over there is a show of "fuck this shit". I'm sorry you miss your shitposting subreddit but this is about blind users no longer being able to use the mobile app. Mods are going to lose the tools they need to KEEP subs like 196 free of bigots and assholes. So breaking the strike does nothing but show Spez you care more about being able to post your pics than about making the place safe and accessible. Get some perspective here.

Yes, mostly because no cannibal jokes makes making jokes/memes about eating the rich (literally) way harder, and I like making those jokes. Also about eating horrible people. It's super out there "never actually gonna happen" stuff, so I get why it could weird people out but like. It's a weird, fun joke to make? Or maybe I'm just weird.

I'm in solid "we vibing" today. It's a chill day with good vibes.

I've been thinking about this connection for a long time, and it finally struck me: Autistic people are probably more likely to be trans because we sort of...Idk not overanalyze everything but at least in the way I think, gender just never made sense to me? Like, the idea of body=gender is just so backwards to me, because by and large, societies had multiple genders. It's historically verifiable, and in the modern world, as well.

It's not like "Oh we're super logical", but I feel like we have that higher likelihood because we question things by nature. We sort of go "wait this doesn't make sense" when something's just nonsensical. I don't know how else to describe it because it's always just been a thing for me and a lot of other autistic people I know. Like, yes, we take things literally, but also when something makes zero sense we question it.

I know I'm kinda rambling, but I just feel like because we examine the world in different ways than neurotypicals, that's how we arrive at the conclusion that gender isn't our bodies.

Posted this in 2 servers I'm in, got yelled at in both, 10/10 would recommend.

That song always makes me think of "Everywhere at the End of Time", and then I get that feeling of "this is legitimately horrifying, thanks". (I don't believe in that legend about "oh it makes you lose it", but it does capture what happens with dementia very well, so it always leaves me feeling off-balance.)

Okay but same though. Granted, I was always the type to just investigate everything (my poor dad had to take me to the library SO MUCH as a kid), but it's definitely more urgent (??) now. It feels like you have to do the research just to be sure that you're not on the wrong side of things.
