OMG I might be having a revelation.
I found my high school leaving book the other day and it has this page in it where my friends wrote down the phrases I'd said through my entire high school - I said them so often (multiple times a day every day) that they became a "thing."
Now wondering if this is an #ActuallyAutistic thing cos I'm the same now though many of the phrases have changed.
My old name is on the top (I changed it in the alt text) - please ignore!
What got me out of that was realizing that what other people did to me wasn't as bad as what I'd been doing myself - accepting the blame for what they'd done, because it had to be something wrong with me. I've been working on that - not blaming myself, not beating myself up. If I was an ass, sure, I'll own that, and I'll apologize, but if I was just being my autistic self and they reacted badly, that's on them, not me.
Personal server, look, you can download the server software there!
Shared install, so you can do LAN games with your friends for free.
Now:
LAN? Na mate, internet only, and you have to use our own servers, btw they will shutdown next year for the next release. Don't forget to have a fiber optic connection or you will lag.
@news whomever runs the News bot, could you please stop boosting every single reply to every last post? I only want to see the initial News posts in my feed, not all of the replies.
Stands to perfect reason. Lemmings are essentially large rodents, mastadons are essentially large elephants, elephants don’t get along with mice, mastadons don’t get along with lemmings. Science!
An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.
The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.

excited to have a space where I can just be myself.

Toevallig zei ik voor de vakantie tegen m'n man dat het lang geleden was dat een film of boek me echt geraakt had. Nu ik 't Hooge Nest een paar dagen uit heb kan ik zeggen dat die periode voorbij is. Wat een verhaal. Ik blijf nadenken over hoe geleidelijk het allemaal leek te gaan en waar het eindigde. En ik zie zoveel parallellen met nu #WorldWar2#THoogeNest@boeken
