I've never managed to fit in to standard jobs for long. I'd try, wear myself out trying to conform to their rules and procedures, to get all the work done that they said was so important, and watch the other employees around me do less and get away with it and be rewarded. 1/3

Really bland questions that keep coming to mind… (philosophical)

What is work?

Do you ever feel vagueness from words like “community”? (Wondering if Im the only one who feels a lot if vagueness from words that don’t seem vague to others…)

I have started talking about “meaningful activity” to mean my term for work to direct neurotypicals closer to my level of meaning. What do you think of when I say “meaningful activity” over “work”?

@Energetic_Nova @hmm_cook i happened upon this toot and i find your comment about the vagueness of the word "community" relatable. to me it seems like an overly generic term for what is invariably something specific. community could describe an association of individuals, a profession, an entire demographic, a local area, or everyone with a shared identity or interest. in my experience it's not often clear from the context which one was intended.
