This Is Like God Saying You Live To Worship Him

insane how people think i can just do things. "can you mail me this?" and get killed by the post office desk workers?????!!!?

fuck this time loop im leaving (walks into a different, worse time loop)

my little brother & i are having a scholarly debate about mornings

I was a dick to my partner during covid isolation, and I was procrastinating on writing an apology, so – as one does – I eventually, half-seriously, googled apology templates.

And I found this amazing website. It did not bring me AT ALL closer to writing my partner an apology, but it brought me immeasurable joy. I made choked animal howling noises for much of my perusing time.

Sometimes they’re kind of normal (this one is a message saying “I can’t attend your org’s event because I disagree with their politics”) but the title is phrased hilariously.

Others are, in fact, hilarious.

Most are sincere, but not all:

“Zoom Incident”

And my favorite:

“I AM NOT SURE WHY I ASSUMED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE INDOORS WHEN I DROPPED BY ON MONDAY”

time to see if my old mpreg player works ahhh!!!

Can we go ahead and stop teaching corvids how to use tools, it's getting spooky

Chinese hourglass spider - 里氏盤腹蛛 - Cyclocosmia ricketti

I forgot about this spider, but I LOVE it ! Its disc resembles an ancient coin or a seal. It has also been known to be confused with coins, but then appearing to be an arachnid.

@hispaatra, @zick-the-fairy you migth enjoy this one :D

I love this spider so much and it is a great inspiration for Dungeons and Dragons. Honestly, this spider is like it is from a fairy-tale or legend or something of the kind, it is magical (to me, at least) !

The hard truth about autism acceptance that a lot of people don't want to hear is that autism acceptance also inherently requires acceptance of people who are just weird.

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

Like it or not, if you want to be an ally to autistic people, you're going to have to take the L and leave eccentric, weird people alone. Even if you don't know them to be autistic. You shouldn't be looking for Acceptable Reasons to be mean to people in the first place. Being respectful should be the default.
