Imagine if you could fax tofu
Or like, 3D print it
Imagine if you could plug your headphones into a block of tofu, and listen to its sweet music
Imagine if you could stack a slice of tofu on your record player, and listen to everything your tofu has ever wanted to say to you
What if tofu has ROM? What if it has data files stored inside it? How would we access this knowledge?
What if tofu is actually a book? What if all the pages are just stuck together?
Imagine if tofu emits an undetectable information wave, but we just don’t have the equipment needed to read the frequency
What about if tofu contained visual recordings? Put a block of tofu in your Betamax, and watch the screen as tofu shares its story
I can’t stop thinking about digital analogue tofu. Someone shout at me to go to sleep 💤

“Folklore is the expressive body of culture shared by a particular group of people; it encompasses the traditions common to that culture, subculture or group”

#ActuallyAutistic people:

What would you identify as autistic folklore?

What are our customs, sayings, objects?
The historically perceived rarity of autistic people, paints a picture of a single anomalous person, set apart from the normalised majority. Autistics become quasi-mythological beings. Like a human, not quite a human. A changeling, an alien, something else, disconnected
When autistic people gather in community, we disrupt that myth.

We learn from each other that our ways of expressing, of saying, of feeling and perceiving, are part of another mode of being, which is shared with, and connects us to others

Superstitions concerning fire, may lead us to consider the hearth, and chimney, where apotropaic objects are often concealed as a form of protection to ward against malevolent forces. The chimney was believed to be a gateway for bad spirits #SuperstitionSat A photograph of a stone hea...
Ryedale Folk Museum, Yorkshire, has 3 “witch posts” in their collection. Positioned near the hearth and carved with apotropaic-style markings, including the X-shaped St Andrew’s cross to guard against spirits entering via the chimney

If the smoke from your fire is billowing out into the room, it’s believed to be caused by a witch, sitting on your roof and blocking the chimney #SuperstitionSat

My eldest is #DiagnosedAutistic and this is how it went, within the school system (posted with consent)
1. He was distressed from the day he arrived at school
2. They blamed his behaviour on the fact I let him watch Batman cartoons. They literally said that.
1/
3. He did things like: tell them they were unfair to make him ask for permission to go to loo
4. He would argue back when they told him he couldn’t leave his seat without permission
2/
5. He told them he hated their rewards and strike system - if you were good, your name went on the “Happy Side” of the whiteboard with a smily face, if you were deemed bad, you went on the “Sad Side” with a sad face

Deep in the Mexican rainforest, a wonderland of elaborate architectural structures lies hidden amongst tropical plants and vines. This garden of earthly delights is Las Pozas, a legacy of a life spent in dedication to the wyrd and fabulous 1/#WyrdWednesday ImageImage
Las Pozas, was created by the late Edward James, enormously wealthy British poet and patron-collector of Surrealist art. James’s passion and enthusiasm for Surrealism was matched only by his love of plants. Las Pozas is the simulacrum of these loves 2/
#WyrdWednesday ImageImage
Glimpses of the concrete stairs, walkways, towers and portals of Las Pozas can be seen amongst the giant tropical leaves of the surrounding forest, hidden like a lost city, and given names like The House with a Roof like a Whale, and The Staircase to Heaven 3/
