April doesn't have to be the cruelest month for #ActuallyAutistic folks.

We could #OccupyApril. Freaking OWN it.

Case in point... My autistic autonomy.

I don't need my agenda 100% of the time. But I DO need 100% of my attention devoted to my agenda... some time...

Every day.

What I would have told my autistic son...

In the alternate universe.

Where I had one. Cuz life went different.

Text in first alt text.

#ActuallyAutistic THAT SONG I’LL NEVER SING TO MY SON Like some angel With a dislocated shoulder Half f l y i n g H a l f falling Younger to older From the day I was born. Tumbling to earth Rushing up below Body on f i r e H e a r t aflame In s l o – m o , a horror picture show… To a silent piano score… Like that song I’ll never sing To my son. Like that song Like this song…. Don’t be a dick Real talk… It’s harder than you think… Listen up, listen up… Maybe… Don’t mask… protecting others Don’t please yourself Less than bosses & lovers… Hold up… Most of all… Don’t forget To h...

A Shooting Star Has No Purpose

my autistic life...

failing upward 
toward collapse...?

succeeding downward 
toward joy...?

it's a quantum thing. 
the answer is simply...

yes.

I was not put on this planet 
to produce.

🧵 1/ A dramatic shooting star blazes across a dark night sky with flowing golden light and silver-blue trails. An intricately detailed tree stands in the foreground as silent witness. Stars dot the darkness. The style evokes William Blake's engravings with bold linework and cosmic symbolism.
I was born to experience. 
Observe...

and over share.

our lives' value is 
not measured 
by clicks. 
or data mined by AI.

a shooting star
slashing through darkness
has no purpose.
unless 
it ignites 
a human instant
illuminates, ya know…
*that ness*

2/
mindfulness. 
and this moment. 

all we possess. 

all.

a couple of mutuals have asked what's up with me.

well, i am going through some changes. in my AuDHD way, i won't know for awhile exactly what.

my process… i kinda…
do shit.
observe.
then discover motivation...

#ActuallyAutistic

1/3 A mural painted on a brick wall features bold, colorful text reading: "BE LIKE DUST," "BE LIKE WATER," and "BE LIKE FIRE." The word "#RESIST" is spray-painted in white graffiti over the first line. A person in a dark hoodie walks past the mural in motion blur. Digital tools included AI.
but in my imagistic way i think i was headed somewhere while working on a piece on how Resistance happens...

without realizing i was outlining what the first 10 years after diagnosis have been for me...

Evolution of a #hashtag…

🧵
Let's get clear right now, right here.

It's not being #autistic that creates our trauma.

It's living autistic in a society that inflicts trauma on us. Refusing to accept, adapt… support… us.

#ActuallyAutistic

#YouTube:
Why do "helping" pros focus on my deficits, my lacks, my pitiful performance of “Activities of Daily Living”…?

Like, did I shower today…? No.

Rather than the sheer strength of will I demonstrate every time I take my next breath?

Why do they offer to fix me,
inform me,
guide me, and
charge me for sessions,
mentoring,
workshops,
best-selling books,
SYSTEMS they've just invented…

based on… at best… incomplete research?

The more different we are...

The less we need dictators.

diversity is the strategy of evolution. the universe.

human breeding programs are anti-evolutionary. hence the inbreeding and other problems.

AND...

human compliance programs are anti-social evolution.

2/3
evolution is about balance. it has no true arrow of time. it comes out of the past perhaps. but no future or goal.

eugenics is not just morally wrong.

it's fucking stupid.

The more different we are...
The less we need dictators.

I hope Terry Moran sues ABC's fucking corporate ass.

And why aren't we boycotting chicken-shit corporate news?

#BoycottABC

While we're at it #BoycottDisney... the parent company...

serving us fascist fantasy fairy tales...

For 102 years.

1/2
fantasies based on princes & princesses are inherently fascist.

you don't have to agree.

we are in desperate times

i'm trying everything I can think of... desperately

not a defense. a manifesto. aimed at you
