I love videos of people performing religious ceremonies for small animals. Especially if it’s not something a small animal could participate in theologically.

Blackbonnet + Almost Kisses [1/?] things have been pretty up and down in the fandom lately, so this is a poison into positivity series where I shout out some people who've been doing a lot of heavy lifting post cancellation and deserve every bit of love bestowed upon them <3 ✨Part 1 goes out to @jaskierx for taking so many for the team and fighting the fights none of us have the mental fortitude to get into rn, it's a rotten job but someone has to do it and she's doing it with so much grace and without being thanked, and I'm so so so grateful <3 also she's fucking hilarious and lets me rant in her inbox without filter at odd hours ✨

[“Due in part to the prevalence of the ‘extreme male brain’ theory of autism spectrum conditions in the 90s, and the fact that clinicians had not yet shaken themselves free of the association between an autism diagnosis and perceived ‘male’ behaviour, my not fitting into traditionally masculine trait categories worked against me. Many of the more disruptive aspects of traditionally male stereotypes were in the 90s part and parcel of a clinician’s willingness to diagnose autism, and because my autism presented in a way that was more in line with people assigned female at birth with the condition, I was just somewhat overlooked.

While there’s not yet any firm list of differences between boys with autism and girls with autism, there are several observed differences in autism presentation that are now generally accepted as existing, and being overlooked by current diagnostic tool assumptions. These are not hard and fast rules, but some things that can make it troublesome for women to achieve a diagnosis. Girls with autism tend to have less trouble than their male peers socialising in their early years, but have a spike in difficulty entering their teen years. Girls with autism are more likely than boys to demonstrate a comorbidity with SSRI-treatable depression. Where boys with autism tend to be disruptive to gain access to physical items, girls with autism tend to be disruptive more often for human attention and contact. Girls with autism tend to be more passive, self-isolating and withdrawn, compared to boys with the condition who tend to be more outwardly aggressive. Girls with autism are also often more able than their male peers to follow pointing fingers and to gaze track.

While none of the above are absolutes, they are factors that are important, because they’re all aspects of autism that applied to me growing up, in spite of my being designated male at birth. I was designated male, but was displaying more traditionally feminine expressions of autism. Pair that with the fact that twenty years ago these differences were overlooked by the male-focused diagnostic criteria of old, and you start to see how the diagnostic system overlooked me.”]

The way you change your immediate reactions to things is that you catch yourself having an uncharitable/bigoted/overly judgmental thought and you catch it and replace it and then you do that a hundred times a day for your whole life and eventually one day like five years later you realize that you think differently now and you’ll always be working on something but that’s how life goes and that’s fine.
