One of the seriously most important parts of working around executive function is practicing things that you want to be able to do more easily. I also need to remind myself of this often.

Practice can start as small as it needs to.

Me after checking on Twitter that Meta is just down and I'm not hacked since my Instagram isn’t loading and my Facebook got "session logged out”. 😂 #facebookdown #instagramdown #meta

What the fax?! I guess faxing isn’t dead 🤷‍♂️ Use Dropbox Fax by @DropboxSign to send and receive faxes from anywhere. #DropboxFax https://t.co/9aZIUJaTUE

@Itiswha9206118 @laurenancona Who gets to set the standard?

Who does the standard look like?

Who does the “standard” exclude, and is it necessary or is it gatekeeping?

What are the real consequences of dropping various standards?

Ask these questions instead of pearl-clutching.

@laurenancona One of the most upsetting things for me is living with other people and NEVER getting alone time for this.

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@latkedelrey Damn, I’m still in the “cry forever” phase; one day I might stop and feel better 🤣😅

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@collectdust That guy lives in my old neighborhood. Apparently he has MANY seasonal signs!

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@laurenancona I still definitely randomly let go of things 🙃

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@laurenancona My husband does this shit to me CONSTANTLY while I’m DRIVING and one day he will make me have an accident over some shit that I definitely already saw and was handling. 😡

[discoautistic @discoaut]

Shrinking is fucking great. And I think Liz is autistic representation without being too obvious/gimmicky and I love her.

Tbh if @NewYorker doesn’t respond to the fact check of their reporter with an apology and some sort of reprimand for her, they will have lost a huge chunk of credibility. How can anyone believe anything they read there?

[discoautistic @discoaut]

So the @NewYorker just let this white lady absolutely smear Hasan Minhaj, lie and mislead about evidence, and pretend not to understand that comedy writing isn’t a fact-checked biography.

Hasan Minhaj responds to New Yorker story with a lengthy fact-check of his own https://t.co/Hb26VbNogt

@MissElizabethA @JonesNoWonder @MazMHussain Are you familiar with literally the whole of United States history or ?
You think a couple of black mayors undoes centuries of racist abuse by, yes, white people?

[Fiqah is @sassycrass.bsky.social @sassycrass]

Your periodic reminder that:
A.) Black Americans are Americans and
B.) This shit has happened to us

[discoautistic @discoaut]

If anyone is in the sky, I’m over there at this same handle.

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@SNeurotypicals Oh man, if ONLY I did not physically feel some feelings.

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@_lavenderhannah @EmmaTolkin @anne_theriault Nobody is actually upset but you seem weirdly manic about this whole thing.

Trust me, you’re not coming off as cool as you think you are.

[discoautistic @discoaut]

@fatfabfeminist But then how will they avoid developing healthy self-esteem if they can’t just punch down to make themselves feel good 🙃

[discoautistic @discoaut]

It’s fine. I didn’t get enough attention as a child so I did weird shit for attention. Also so did millions of other pre-teens 😂

[discoautistic @discoaut]

Life tip: when you’re feeling embarrassed by something that happened before the age of 25, remind yourself that your brain wasn’t fully developed yet so you literally couldn’t help being awkward

[discoautistic @discoaut]

I’ve actually gotten to the point where MOST things don’t bother me anymore but I did just have a moment of full-body embarrassment while remembering feeling like I was an edgy pre-teen for swearing on a church camping trip.
