I Said It In The Notes On The Last Post But I’m Gonna Say It Again.

I said it in the notes on the last post but I’m gonna say it again.

I’m married to someone with severe memory problems. Automation of household appliances & systems helps him a lot and helps me a lot because it reduces the number of things I have to keep in my brain at all times. I love doors that lock themselves, being able to schedule dog food being delivered, a thermostat I can manipulate from wherever. Beyond my little bubble it should be noted that voice controlled appliances can be really good for people with mobility concerns. Appliances that can measure and talk and remember little tasks can be such a blessing for people.

I will never forgive Amazon and Google for taking technologies that could be really helpful and weaponizing them, and fuck everybody who acts like its some kind of conspiracy theory that those devices are spying on you. You absolutely should be distrustful of those devices but just make sure you’re getting angry at the right people.

"its important people talk about their experiences with plurality" i tell myself. "if the only people talking about it are people who are sure what they're experiencing is normal and textbook and 'right', it will continue feeding into a cycle of people bekng afraid to talk about themselves and always thinking their plurality is somehow wrong," i continue, still shaking, for the fear that im doing it wrong will forever haunt me

here's what gets me too it's my own experience. my own fucking experience it is literally impossible for me to be doing my own fucking experience wrong i'm not “doing” anything. i'm being. just being and yet whenever i consider talking about my experience or making art about my experience i go “bUt WhAt iF iM dOiNg iT wRoNg” literally can't make anonymous fucking art about my own fucking experience without getting scared fucking why. why im not even the type of plural person who people usually love to hate im traumagenic with a small system that has zero fictives but i STILL freak out because let's be real. every single fucking one of us is vulnerable to that sort of hate and targeting choosing to discuss our experience publicly opens us up to hatred and ridicule no matter who we are or what we're like

There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.

I don’t hate the concept of ebooks per se but what bothers me is how our society is shifting from actually owning entertainment in tangible forms like books and CDs and DVDs and game discs, to having to download everything so basically we’ll get to the point where everything is intangible and all of our property can be taken away by a website crash.
