An autistic person who accidentally offends someone is often treated more harshly than a neurotypical person who’s a proud asshole and who brags about how fun it is to offend people.
An autistic person who misses a social cue and accidentally crosses someone’s boundaries is often treated more harshly than a neurotypical person who actively refuses to care about people’s boundaries.
i think the whole “coworkers arent you friends” thing fucking sucks man. aside from the fact that enjoying the people you spend a major portion of your life around like actually improves your attitude, it is so dangerous for companies for their workers to be like. engaging with each other personally. you know like. unifying. unionizing. im not saying force your relationships at work but like. maybe engage a little more
I cannot express how important it is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. It’s especially important as so many people don’t have dental coverage and that preventative work saves you so much pain and money in the long run. I know it sucks and it is so hard, but you’ll also feel so good after doing it. And when you start doing it regularly, you’ll find your mouth and gums feel so much better. If you’ve already done it today, good job! I’m so proud of you and so happy for you!
This is the first tumblr blaze post I’ve seen that’s made me go “actually yes, it’s good if people see this”
“have you considered perhaps that [group of people i dislike] don’t actually believe what they say they believe… instead they believe [something that would make it incredibly easy to dismiss them without engaging with them]. how would i know that? well, you see, i made it up.”
Fighter’s Blockis the best writing app I’ve come across in a long time.
You type in the amount of words you want to write and as you write, your mini lil avatar fights a monster. Each word you write acts a hit towards your monster, and once you’ve hit your word count the monster is defeated!!!
How cute!!!!
Work quick though as how long you spent not writing decreases your avatar’s health. It’s a productive fight to the death against the clock!
Best things about this app:
You can PAUSE it!!!! Need go get a cup of tea? Need to sneeze? You can!!!!!
Settings are adjustable! You can change the monster’s speed and the attacks!
You can change the theme and font!
You can level up!!!!! The number of words you write equals your EXP. You can unlock one avatar thus far, but I believe there may be more in the future!
You can minimise the fight above if it serves as a distraction, and only show the decreasing green bar.
Best of all: If you don’t hit the target word count in time, YOUR WORK DOES NOT DISAPPEAR. In the past I’ve lost so much work because I wasn’t typing fast enough, or sneezed.I cannot express enough how thankful I am that it presents a challenge where the consequence is a knock of pride and not a fit of rage.
Honestly, I urge all writers out there to give this app a go. It’s my new favourite thing.
imagine converting to the catholic church LMAO catholicism is only supposed to be passed down from parent to child in a manner best described as ‘if I had to live like this then so do you’
