i'm going to tweet a thread about the disturbing, everyday reality of living in barry county, michigan, under sheriff dar leaf but i want to give some background for people who've never heard of him
dar leaf has been the sheriff in barry county for way too long
he believes he's a "constitutional sheriff," that is, one of the highest law enforcement agents in the united states
dar leaf has appeared with members of the michigan liberty militia and the wolverine watchmen, both groups charged in the plot to kidnap governor gretchen whitmer and execute her
So, I had this whole bridge burning post all written up, with a bunch of horrible shit I know within the romance genre. I was gonna put it on the blog. But then I was like...
I've got too much good stuff going on to throw those bad vibes in this week!
Like, this always happens. I always have something really cool coming up and then something else will happen and I'll allow that to bury my awesome stuff!
i am going to hell because i'm smoking weed and eating fruity pebbles while watching a live stream of pascha services
like, i'm not a christian anymore. i know the plan was that i'd be raised both roman catholic and orthodox and choose when i grew up and i chose neither but i still watch pascha services because it's always been such a huge part of my life
there aren't a super lot of orthodox christians these days and it's definitely a different culture in terms of how you live every single day, so once a year i like to visit home, you know?
I'm torn between doing a thread on the stuff on my mind and not doing it because my hands hurt. But if I don't thread about it, I'm gonna be pissed when I can't remember it later. So. Here we go.
Let's talk about how autism helps people spot manipulation.
One of the things I feel ABA robbed me of for a long time was the ability to tell when someone really was "bad" or "mean" or if they were "good" and I was just overreacting.
As a result, for years, I walked around giving people the benefit of the doubt on EVERYTHING. Did that girl just spit ice cream in my hair and slap me? What about MY behavior caused that? Because I know from therapy that people aren't supposed to do that.
