new fandom, new name. it's the genderqueer circle of life unfortunately. just got into DC comics (specifically batman) and decided to give Robin a try✌
my phone just updated twitter to show the x icon, so I'll be uninstalling. I know I haven't been super active on here the last year, but I'll miss you guys <3

Let’s talk about periods on the psych ward
🩸 no sanitary bins
🩸inadequate period provisions eg tiny sanitary pads, non applicator tampons
🩸those with no leave can’t buy suitable products
🩸1:1 patients being watched changing products
🩸limited access to pain killers
some ways to accommodate Autistic people:
- allow them to have a fidget item/stim
- don’t demand eye contact from them
- ask them before hugging/shaking hands
- offer a visual aid/written handout for tasks
- ask them what they need/what helps them
- allow headphones/earplugs
Autistic masking can sometimes look like:
- forcing eye contact
- rehearsing scripts in your head
- suppressing the urge to stim
- repeating phrases others have said
- copying accents/tones subconsciously
- exaggerated facial expressions/head/body movements (mimicking)
Writers are often told that their work is only valuable if it sells, yet our ancestors were telling stories around the fire long, long before capitalism was invented. Never forget that making art is not merely a business: it’s part of human nature.
We should be able to recognise autism in non-distressed, happy autistic children. They should not have to wait until they are burnt out and broken before they can be diagnosed.
About to have a discussion with my dad about moving back to europe in january. the trans rights situation in the us is scaring me. I can't make it back before then, unfortunately.
anyway my dad wants me to stay and finish my degree (which would take years)
gotta love being a horror fan but knowing that it fucks up your mental health so everytime you watch a horror movie you feel like you're being hunted for months, and as soon as that feeling is gone you watch another horror movie✌️
(preferably drunk)
minimum wage should be at least $25 at this point, $15 is no longer a living wage. like people are barley surviving working full time jobs and that’s just so unacceptable
