[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

As someone who grew up poor (and who struggled for years to make ends meet financially as an adult), I am now understanding why we always had so much stuff in our house and why it was basically impossible to keep it clean/organized.

I have what I call “Bargain Bin Perfect Pitch,” which means that I can identify pitches if I actually stop, think about it, and maybe hum, but I’m too impatient for that so I always just go to the piano and start banging keys until I get it

This is the niche content i absolutely live for

If famous classical composers were video game protagonists, what would the final boss be? I’ll go first:

Not me debating whether to wear concealer to a support group of all places I’d hope would forgive me for not looking 30% less like a corpse

@scretladyspider I thought back on part relationships and realized I always felt bad that my partners had way stronger feelings for me than I did for them + I’ve never been sad after a breakup, I just felt bad about making the other person sad. But my real lightbulb moment was learning about QPRs

Hmmm… courtroom sounds… courtroom sounds… Gavel? *googles how often judges actually bang gavels (the answer is kinda never)* damn ok then… Stenographer typing? *stenographer typing machine thingy is silent* 😐 OK THEN SCREW REALISM ITS GONNA BE MUSIC #sounddesignlife

Yes i absolutely did just write When I Grow Up from Matilda - Hopeful Business School Undergrad Edition based on all the outrageous shit my sister reads me from her textbooks and/or actual things professors and/or students have said in class

[Violette Kay @fyokay]

Follow up question: @ violinists: do YOU also secretly cut your strings? have i been alone this whole time?? Now that i think about it i cant actually recall ever seeing à knowledgeable person change a string, and no one has seen me do it or been around to point out i was wrong…

[Violette Kay @fyokay]

@ guitarists: do u actually cut your strings off when u want to change them instead of just unraveling them off the pegs??????? (ignorant violinist here)
