I am currently reading a #book in which the main character is an actress in NYC. This author clearly knows nothing about NYC or #Broadway. I know this because of the following line: "The theater was so far off-Broadway it might as well be in Hoboken."

CHAT, THE THEATER WAS ON 54TH AND 8TH.

Giving another driver a thumbs up to be snarky when they get pissed at you on the road only works when they are not getting pissed at you for doing something fundamentally unsafe like, oh, I don't know, running a stop sign.

At that point you're just using pettiness for evil

If there's one #autism thing I wish I could be rid of permanently, it would be the fact that my rejection sensitivity results in me randomly crying uncontrollably about the stupidest shit.

It doesn't matter how upset I actually am, whenever I experience a rejection sensitivity episode, my brain floods my body with the chemicals where you cry and I just start uncontrollably crying.

And the frustrating part of it especially is that no matter how I explain to people I'm not upset, this is just my body having a chemical reaction, they make a huge deal about it. Or they think that I'm seeking attention or whatever. It always makes me look bad.

They don't understand is in my brain I'm going "why am I crying about this, this is so stupid, there's nothing to be upset about, I would like to stop crying now," but I literally cannot. It is a reflexive physical response that I am not in control. And no matter how much I try I cannot stop it.

It is one of the worst parts of being #actuallyautistic for me because it draws so much judgment from others and it's not something I can just work on in therapy.

I have seriously considered carrying around a little laminated card like in Joker explaining that I am not actually upset and that my body is just having a chemical reaction.

Hey so it's been a year to the day since I posted about the last time a theater in my area did an ableist play and an audition notice for this bullshit just landed on my feed.

Why is it in 2025 we are still creating theatre that demonizes #autistic people and tells stories about how they are burdens? #actuallyautistic

Hey #gamers

I've never played any Metal Gear games but I'd like to try to get into them.

I've never tried before because I'm generally not into military as a theme, but I LOVE stealth.

Where should I start?

I'm currently doing a training for work on AI voice spoofing, but one of the signs they say to look out for when looking out for AI generated voices is "a lack of emotion in the tone of voice" or "the emotion is inappropriate for the conversation" and in deepfake videos they say to look out for "speech patterns or language that are unusual or unnatural", which are also all behaviors that #neurodivergent people can exhibit particularly in stressful situations, so this just seems kind of ableist?

What if I'm just a deepfake in a human suit?
