Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

I think one of the reasons why having the label ‘autistic’ to describe myself is how much more normal it makes me feel (ironically.) Before being diagnosed, it’s not like I really thought I was a typical person, I thought I was weird in some way but I wasn’t really sure what or how to define that. It made me feel different from anyone in the world. I knew that autism existed, but with the limited view I had of it I didn’t realize it could describe me.

I felt like my own special kind of broken, and that was very lonely, and it made my struggles feel like a moral failing. It made me fear there was no chance or hope for me, nothing that could potentially provide me support, as approaches intended for NTs didn’t work well, and I assumed anything for NDs simply wouldn’t apply to me.

But that changed- I realized there was a name for what I was feeling, other people with the same experiences I had thought were so alien, coping mechanisms and strategies to get through that tailored for someone who thought like me.

Obviously not all autistic people are the same. It’s a very broad, diverse spectrum. But the shared experiences among us are so important. Maybe a grim way to put it would be ‘misery loves company’. But I think it’s more hopeful than that.

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

[Edit]: This current situation, and this type of tourist behavior is horrifying beyond words. In other circumstances, the tourism situation is much more complicated, and I need to ask that people do not add on to this post unless they are local.

after fifty billion years, i'm back with another translation and this time it's zosan!

My friend really likes your music and we listen to it when we kiss and have cuddly gay sex. I'd be curious to know what music you listen to when sexhaving, if any.

this is genuinely a weird fucking thing to say to anyone, let alone a stranger. fix how you interact with people online and in real life, because shit like this contributes to making spaces unsafe.

i'm ace btw. xoxo
