so my family went to the tulip fields and my little sister didn’t have a good time at all

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

Impulse: —there quite a while. Scar: Man, I missed that segment that you did with Martyn, Skizz? Like, you really, like, you went to town with like, Minecraft swords on a cooler, and it sounded really good, like, drum wise? Skizz: (through quiet, pleased laughter) Thank you, it was, it was fun— Scar: Yeah, I was like, how did you turn these little instruments into that? I was like, what the heck? Skizz: Dude, it was so fun, I was telling Gem about that earlier, you gotta watch that, just don't watch me or Martyn, just watch Gem. She has— Gem: (quietly) Oh god. Skizz: —the best reaction to that moment right there, dude. She's just like, mouth is open like, "oh my god," and then all of the sudden she just starts bopping—like, bee-bopping along, like, dancing, it's so awesome. Scar: I-I was like—I saw that on Twitter, I was like, "whoa." That was cool. Skizz: That was fun. He did great, dude. I was talking about that— Grian: Yeah, Martyn-Martyn was annoyingly good at Permit Master. Gem: God, he was so good! Skizz: Yeah, he crushed it.

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Guys, let's make a sandwich. I'll start:

Saw this today on a building with painted over windows and no other markings

Everybody shut the HECK up and look at this

‘…and there are many paths to tread.’

Some hand-lettering from 2021. 

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

Fascinating differences in strategy in the Quiet Games. Gem just whacked Impulse until he did what she wanted. Skizz and Ren came up with a complex system of signals. Grian and Jimmy somehow unlocked??? telepathy??? and killed it????

I can never date anyone cause I'm already in a committed relationship with the bit and to be honest I think that's gonna annoy away any potential love interests

do you guys remember when we used to say oh worm all the time. remember that

I have to hand it to Donald Trump, I didn’t think the sequel to the 1932 Great Emu War would be a trade war against the penguin nation but he truly continues to be an innovator in the stupidity industry

Well those are allllmost done

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

Here’s An Idea. Smith et al. 2016

Terrible Idea; a comment on Smith et al. 2016. Johnson 2016.

You’re Wrong Too; a response to Johnson 2016. Nelson 2016.

Guys Just Stop Fighting, None Of Us Know What’s Going On; a Review of the Current Literature. McBrien 2017.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about piracy lately and in light of this i do need to say something because I've been seeing a lot of misinformation.

anti-viruses, vpns, ad-blockers- none of these are going to help you here.

the first thing you're going to need is a good solid boat (preferably oak wood). you will also want some cannons and a plank depending on the sort of shenanigans you plan on getting into.

Also! Not once have i seen any of you talking about the importance of citrus fruits and vitamin C. antivirus doesn't prevent scurvy. come on you should know this by now.

this sort of misinformation is wildly dangerous and irresponsible.

This is fucking awesome LMAOOOO

hey

hey you

I’m proud of you for making it through the day, no matter how hard it’s been

"the ides of march". "neil banging out the tunes". "superputinelection"

People on Tumblr will see a post and reblog it

Such idiots

I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.

Making a shitty one-page RPG called Oh Shit It’s the Killer. The premise is simple: you’re a high schooler spending the weekend in the woods with your besties. The Killer is there also. He is trying to the Kill you

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid
