I am switching instances again. IDK yet if I'm going to settle on this one though.

Privacy is a human right.

Since I've spotted a few new users joining mastodon who are black, fair warning:

⭐ 💫 join an instance with very strong block and admin policies because antiblackness is strong here~ 🌟 ✴️

folks literally tried to run a black-run instance into the ground

my gf designed this really cool clicky switch orb, and like heck i'm so excited about it i wanna share! it's a stimtoy/fidgettoy and all the buttons are any cherry mx sized switch, i put kailh box navy switches on all of these, and the keycaps are dsa profile which are the same shape on each side so they look neat on the orb/cube! it's really fun to roll around in your hand :p

here's why saying butches can be misogynistic is, like, extra shitty: all women can be misogyistic towards other women, being butch doesn't increase one's likelihood of perpetuating misogyny

when you say that you're revealing how you truly feel about butches - which is that you think they are men lite™ or they are outsiders and you hate GNC women

kill your heroes. believe in ideas, not in the people who pioneered them. the picture of your hero that you hold in your mind is always more perfect than they were in reality -- and when you attempt to defend them from criticism, because you have built your beliefs on that person, you will inevitably betray some of your own ideals.

Diagnostic criteria for neurotypicality:

- Really loud for no good reason, not for stimming or anything, just knowingly loud, plays loud music in shopping centres
- Don't understand that you're supposed to actually say what you *mean*. They talk in vague terms for no real reason and that causes problems with social interaction. This is a serious problem which causes many misunderstandings and confusion.

Example:
NT: "wanna come over to my place"
Actual meaning: "would you like to have a sexual interaction with me?"

- Make eye contact when talking for some reason. Teach your child to look away if they do this.
- unable to have real interests. They tend to have trouble fixating on something specific. This is a big problem because how will they make friends if they don't have a special interest to talk about?

I'm a neurotypical expert.

I'm not an NT myself but trust me, I'm an expert. If you have any questions about neurotypicals I can answer them because I read a few books about neurotypicals. I even have neurotypical family members!
