tired and ill and maybe slightly delirious but i love autistic joy. it’s so wonderful. sometimes having hyperfixations or special interests can be sort of draining? because they Consume your thoughts and that can make things… tedious when trying ti have “normal” conversations. but sometimes? when you just let yourself indulge fully in your interests - or, even better, people indulge in it with you - that? that’s such a wonderful thing.
like me, personally, i love firetrucks! and earlier, after i got excited seeing an engine go by, someone said to me “i love how happy that makes you” and it made me happy that my joy was noticed and appreciated. i love loving things, but sometimes i try to stop myself from outwardly doing so, so when i feel joy about something and just let myself feel it it feels so good. and when i see other people enjoying things they love and spreading that love to other people that feels good too.
autistic joy, neurodivergent joy, joy about interests in general - it’s such a beautiful thing
I’m talking about childhood here, not adolescence. This isn’t about getting a job in high school, it’s about what was in your piggy bank when you were ten.
uhhhh why are they flirting with making likes a public thing on this site… what i like is between me and god
Girlies our likes are no longer safe
Only applies to likes that are already public, you can turn making your likes public off in settings > account and you can switch off ‘include posts liked by the blogs you follow’ in settings > dashboard
A little shocked I have to say this but pleasedon’t feed my work, my writing or my art, to any AI for generative purposes or otherwise. Generative AI is theft, andinnocent intentions are not an excuse.
I’m not going to explain why generative AI is bad, many artists and writers have already done that much more eloquently than I ever could. Do your own research. I work professionally in art and have been deeply personally impacted by AI, andseeing AI versions of my characters is deeply upsetting.
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.
and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”
but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?
The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this
My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.
Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.
Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall. Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.
there’s a wonderful documentary on netflix called the death and life of marsha p. johnson! very powerful watch.
