Is that why the car ride took so long?
Was Thomas like: Guy, we're almost there.
And Guy was like: No! I haven't filled in all the fives...
Was going through some old YGS videos looking for my favorite comment and found this gem… If I recall correctly, Guy Man didn’t commit suicide, he just, you know, set himself on fire. No big deal.
Nearly every autistic person on the face of the Earth has been groomed for abuse from an early age.
We don’t attract abuse by being idiosyncratic or sincere. To say that is to blame our personalities. To say that that is to make yet another attempt at getting us to suppress ourselves, ruining our emotional and physical health.
We don’t stumble into abuse because we’re naive or poor judges of character. To say that is to infantilize us. To say that is to make yet another attempt at robbing us of our independence and agency, impoverishing our life experiences.
We find ourselves in toxic, abusive friendships and relationships because we are groomed for that shit by the authority figures in our lives who teach us how to behave and blend in while ignoring the nuances of interpersonal interaction - particularly the nuances of the sorts of interaction that happen when acquaintances become friends, when friends become close friends, or when our relationships with those friends become romantic and/or sexual. They simply don’t see those stages of relating as something we want, or, if we do want them, however desperately, they are dismissed as something that’s simply not in the hand we were dealt. We are taught only how to get by in shallow interactions, and left to trial and error should we wish to pursue anything beyond that.
Unfortunately, a lot of that “error” entails emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse.
Don’t mind me. I’ll be over here contemplating time and my own mortality.

fat bodies, fat anatomy, and how body fat tends to work should be taught as standardly as skinny anatomy and how muscles work in art courses. fat bodies are not an outlier. fat bodies are not a minority and theyre not abnormal or wrong. fat bodies are normal and they belong in art teaching spaces as commonly as other anatomy, because fat bodies ARE normal anatomy. people have diverse bodies and there will never be a single body type that encompasses the "normal body type"
tldr; fat anatomy should be taught as a staple in art courses just like any other anatomy. this is fact <3
