Life Is Hard And It’s Raining And There’s Too Many Books To Read. It Will Be Okay

There’s this club at my school that are trying to do an event for autism awareness month, but they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. Naturally, I had to get involved. I couldn’t just be like “not my monkeys. Not my circus,” cause it is my circus and they’re breaking all my shit. Now, they keep asking me about every single thing. On one hand, I’m happy that they’re taking my input seriously. On the other, it’s not my job to educate you. There’s so many autistic creators; go find them and leave me alone.

Now I’ve been roped into doing a discussion panel for my whole school. I’m happy to be able to educate people, but also I feel like it’s not fair that I have to. I’m frustrated that even people with good intentions do harm.

People keep calling me “type A.”

Yeah. A for autism

tumblr is the abyss and I really need it to not stare back

Trying to explain to my professor why I know so much about tuberculosis without sounding insane.

“Well, you see, popular young adult novelist John Green got really invested in the topic and learned so much about it that he changed career paths and became a non-fiction writer and spoke to the UN and did a bunch of advocacy and I watch his videos so…”

Bud Cubby is everything I want to be when I grow up

You are loved.

Sometimes I think about how Aabria has a Tumblr account and can therefore see all of us going absolutely crazy over her. I hope she sees. She deserves all the good things

Imagine for a moment you’re one of Lou Wilson’s new neighbors. This guy moves in driving the joker-mobile. He gives you his number and when your call goes to voicemail you’re treated to a full gospel choir. One day you catch a glimpse through his window and he’s just scratching hundreds of scratch-off lottery tickets. He owns two jet skis.

Writing a song so metal that you become god is insane

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.
