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 Yes, I do feel bigness from the word community. And I agree with the other comment.
I would also add that I think some people use the word because they're trying to create some feeling from a positive experience of community that doesn't actually exist in the current structure. Especially online communities tend towards this longing for a positive, mutually beneficial feeling that doesn't exist in the same way as it used to in small in person groups of supportive people.
I like small groups…. Yeah. Always been a trio sort. And I like donkeys. Because they like to be in trios and with animals that arent the same as them. Not big groups like horses like.
I love their big expressive ears. I love how big and cartoony their heads are. And they have better eyes and lashes than I think horses have. Such big easy to read features.
