Please do tell me! I love hearing about other’s passions!

Someone: oh there’s this show I’m watching... oh, nevermind, it’s silly you probably don’t wanna hear about it

Me, knowing fully well how much it sucks to have your passions invalidated and how cool it is to rant about something you love:

You are still here. You are still breathing. All the things you have messed up: the words you ended up regretting, the mistakes you made at work or the tests you failed at shool; they simply do not matter. At the end of the day all that really counts is that you are still trying and that your heart is still beating.

this is a hardly controversial take, but let’s clear something up. if your advocacy for autistic people goes something like “well you see, not all of us have intellectual/physical disabilities, not all of us have low-/no-empathy, not all of us have violent meltdowns, not all of have impulse control issues, not all of us hurt ourselves,” or however you want to continue it, and your sentence does not end with “but those who do still deserve the same fucking rights as we do,” you are not interested in autistic advocacy. every single one of us deserves safety, to be surrounded by people who love them and care for them, to have all their needs met, to have their dignity preserved, to be afforded privacy. that is not open for negotiation. no matter what we do, we do not become less human because of it.

Friendly reminder bc we are one week away!!!

Tommye Austin has created a new better mask!

This Nurse Didn’t Just Create a Replacement N95 Mask – Hers Filters More

A Texas "nurse scientist" created a better face mask, in case her nursing staff ever ran out—and Tommye Austin’s TM 2020 is a better one by

The name N95 comes from the fact the masks filter 95% of airborne particles, such as viruses. Lab results show Tommye’s masks block 96.5%.

N95s weren’t intended for all-day use, so they tend to carve painful, unsightly marks into noses, cheeks and chins. Hers don’t.

With nowhere for exhaled carbon dioxide to escape, N95 wearers sometimes suffer dizziness or headaches. Hers have an air pocket so the C02 floats more easily away

Please, be kind to someone, you never know how it will affect them. Your comment on how good that shirt looks on them or you think they’re cute could be just enough to save them today.

…I almost killed myself

I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.

I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.

That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.

Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.

Thank you man at McDonalds.

The milkshake saved my life
