voltron is the worst show I can't stop watching.

someone send help. or snacks. or someone to cuddle and talk about aut!keith with.

So like the last few months I've been thinking about my relationship with autism as a diagnosis.

My partner asked me about it this weekend because she knows I have #prosopagnosia and that it's frequently connected to autism.

And I really, really don't know. There's meant to be a lot more diagnostics for it now, so I think I'm going to look into it a lot more, but if anyone has guides/advice on figuring out their own diagnosis, it'd be helpful.

Like I was raised being spanked. And when I've discussed that with people, they've been shocked.

And there's this relevant article: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2017/10/ttuac-beat-children-with-plumbing-supply-line-not-bibles.html

And that got to me. When I was growing up I always thought if I had children I would of course spank them, but I wouldn't `be anything like my parents`.

And it's like no shit, of course spanking is wrong. But without that time/space to think about these ideologies outside of oppressive Christianity, the thought just festers in your head, unevaluated.

"I got up to “ease myself abroad" (Deut. 23:13)"

REAL CHRISTIANS DON'T SAY THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A DUMP, THEY SAY DEUT 23:13

and um, I think that's kinda weird actually.

Context for why I'm interested in this:

Was raised hecka Christian, and I still got a lot of toxic ideologies in my head. I'm trying to remove a few of them, and reading through articles that discuss it frequently help me reevaluate why I was raised that way, what my parents/teachers thought, and why I'm healthy to move away from them and all vestiges of them I didn't notice existed.

Just read through this from a link on Reddit - it's how a ministry presented a child marriage in a way that made it sound 'loving'/'caring'/'inspirational'.

It's kinda sick, and I wouldn't encourage reading it if you're not in a good place.
But if you are, I think it's bizarre and interesting in terms of framing and how people can use their faith to justify horrific things without ever calling judgement into account.

Sometimes I get sad and feel like tinders gender setting is how the world sees us.

"You're nonbinary, sure, whatever, but do you want to be seen in searches for men or women?"

I just love Yui, you guys.

She makes me want to have a child.

I MEAN um, I definitely have better reasons for wanting a kid than that.

no one judge me, but I just watched the entirety of Sword Art Online Abridged in one go.

i'm not crying, you're crying..

"What's foundation actually _for_?"

There's a kid at work who's basically hyper rude whenever he needs help from me. Like interrupting me continously, ignoring me, just flat out impolite.

All other times, he's overly nice.

So I can either maintain my annoyance or switch to faux kindness while refusing to help and I hate having to lie.

Can we start portraying in media anyone who says "I need her in my life, she has fixed me" for what they are - emotionally abusive, labour avoiding, children with no intention of personal growth.

It's not romantic either. It's borderline possessive and definitely reductive of the worth of someone else and the worth of a relationship.

@ coders in #London who use #Rust - any of you wanna pair program?

Mathematicians only made up matrices so they could use sharpies in class.

but switching is more like a fortnightly experience of people thinking you're doing much better, then asking why you're doing terrible again.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M DOING SHIT AGAIN, IT JUST HAPPENED. I'M TRYING TO CODE WHILE PRETENDING THERE ISN'T A PORCUPINE ROLLING AROUND IN AN ADORABLE LITTLE PRICKLY BALL IN MY BRAIN.
