[bearhugsandshrugs]

there are a lot of takes in fandom i don’t vibe with and you know what i do?

✨ keep scrolling ✨

#if i read every durgetash take that reduces gortash’s entire persona to being about durge i’d be here all day #and i’d be in a bad mood #so i don’t #seen people fight in reblogs and so on but the great thing is: you don’t have to read it #just scroll past! can recommend 1000/10 #let them indulge themselves in that if that’s how they roll #or just mute a tag (like i muted cazador bc cazstarion is triggering me) #improve your tumblr experience and fandom experience all at once! #you don’t owe anyone your attention!

My dear friend Allie Mason has authored her first published book ‘The Autistic Guide to Adventure’ - Illustrated by Ella Willis, so I just want to take a minute to talk about it here.

It’s a fantastic book targeted towards autistic tweens and teens featuring a full of a variety of activities to do. Though targeted towards an 8+ younger audience, I’m sure adults could benefit from and enjoy the activity recommendations as well.

It’s exactly what it says it is — a helpful guide on how to get involved in these activities and how you can navigate them as an autistic person.

Each activity has its own section and features content like:

‘Sensory Expectations’ [e.g sounds, visuals, textures, movements etc. — things you may encounter and want to be aware of before starting].

tips on ‘How To Get Started’, so you get a clear plan of action on how you can begin your new activity and navigate the adventures!

‘Support Recommendations’ — tips and suggestions for accommodations or preparations that might make the activity safe, more accessible, or more suited to your needs.

It also features some really cool sections such as interesting facts or interviews/ profiles/ anecdotal experiences around the activities from people who are actually autistic. It’s a great way for autistic young people to be able to read about other people just like them who are doing and enjoying these activities and know how they can do it too.

The activities cover a really wide range, so even with varying mobility levels, support levels, other disabilities, or specific sensitivities I think there’ll be an adventure right for everyone [or one that can be adapted].

I think this would also be a great resource for allistic parents with autistic children, you could even read it together. Sometimes it’s hard for parents to know what activities to do together with their neurodivergent kids, or even know where to start to broaden their kids’ interests/horizons (in activities), so I think this book could also be a great starting point for parents. It’s full of ideas that parents can suggest to their kids and details what to expect (sensory experiences) so relevant plans, accommodations, and/or sensory aids can be planned beforehand.

All children deserve the chance to have fun, experience new things, and enjoy the benefits of the outdoors if they can — this book aims to make that possible, making outdoor activities more accessible.

It would have been great to have had something like this during my youth too. Wanting to take part in these activities but not being able to simply because of not having enough information, knowing how to, or knowing what to expect can be really disheartening. So to see what this guide aims to do — making activities more accessible by giving all that information as well as encouraging interest — really brings a smile to my face.

You can hear more from (and about) Allie and also where to buy her book on her Blog > Everything Page | Instagram | TikTok

It’s a project full of love from both Allie and Ella, so I’d encourage you to please check it out. You’d also be helping to support autistic creators.

If you don’t want to click the links above but still want to purchase the books you can do so here: [UK] [International]. As far as I’m aware the book is currently (21.03.23) only available in English.

I saw just how much effort Allie put into this book and just how much she wanted to create something that could benefit and help autistic youths. While I do not know Ella personally, it’s very clear they put equally as much effort into their lovely illustrations for this book.

btw i just finished binge watching The Sopranos today and oh my god, it is legitimately my favourite show ever… like it is SO well made… everything from the writing to the acting to the music choices just… WOW.

#seriously I didn’t think I’d like it bc I don’t usually like shows that revolve around middle aged men #BUT HONESTLY #it’s such a pleasure to watch something that you KNOW is a great piece of cinema #these days people just churn out badly written tv shows and movies for money #but the sopranos is legitimately just… wow #I can’t even explain how immensely I enjoyed that show #usually I have such a bad attention span #but when I tell you I was HOOKED #just such incredible acting and gripping storytelling #ALL THE LITTLE NUANCES AND HINTS AND PLOT TWISTS #THE HEARTBREAKING CERTAIN SCENES #THAT FINAL SCENE?!?!? #bro….. seriously I cannot recommend this show more #literally I think the best show I’ve ever seen #rip james gandolfini tho what an AMAZING actor

“Ma Zhe is very different from Artist Zhu Yilong” (sir, he’s at Cannes - ain’t no way Long Ge just walks around his kitchen on a Tuesday afternoon in a tuxedo just for lols - oversized t shirts or a hoodie and comfy trousers or knee length shorts. If Ma Zhe went to Cannes he’d definitely brush his hair, and put on a suit jacket or blazer over his sweater and stomp around with a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth frowning at everything.)

#I’d take Ma Zhe tbqh hahahahahahhahahahahaha i like a humble working class man from the 90s who is a detective? he’d have great stories #my gifs #only the river flows #if you ever get a chance to see ZYL irl 10/10 would recommend it’s super grounding like ah fellow human being such as my self how lovely #zhu yilong #马哲 #I have several months of bottled up feels over this man and the film apologies but I have to write mini essays about Ma Zhe xD #text post #ma zhe

Gods, the team ranchers brainrot,,,, it’s real

All I’m saying is that I Belong to You by Brandi Carlile has me lying on the floor again

Correction: the whole album. All of her albums. Don’t mind me. Again Today/Hiding My Heart is also a ranchers song in my mind. So is The Things I Regret

#‘we lend our hands and take our stands in tandem when we do’ #‘when I lied and said I knew the way I hid my eyes from you’ #‘I still don’t know why’ #‘I probably didn’t want to scare you’ #‘I know I could be spending a little too much time with you’ #‘but time and too much don’t belong together like we do’ #‘if I had all my yesterdays I’d give them to you too’ #‘I belong to you now. I belong to you’ #‘I’m gonna die the exact day as you’ #this part SPECIFICALLY #loosing my mind #brb. gotta go scream at the void #and then draw so much #anyways I highly recommend her music. it’s wonderful and has great storytelling. #team ranchers

Busy time, so I’ve only just finished A Mind Full Of Murder.

Loved it! So glad with the stakes and detective elements, and the characters throughout were well done. I also really love it as an aftermath of Phase Two rather than a start to Phase Three. Some fun teases for the future (Especially Wreath and Co.) but I mainly appreciated that consequences were addressed, both emotional and literal, and it’s always such a pleasure to be back in this world! Can’t wait for Book 17! Or Book 3(2).

Would love to know what other people thought! Have only seen one or two blogs actually discussing this book so I’m curious about the reception, especially compared to Phase One and Phase Two.

We’re so Back.

#skulduggery pleasant #valkyrie cain #book 16 #a mind full of murder #AMFOM #derek landy #just such a genuine joy reading these books #lots more I’d love to discuss but I’ll wait and see what others think #such a great read though! #would recommend

Idk about y’all, but throughout my schooling from second grade to present day in college, I have been taught the idea of “show dont tell”. So I would LOVE to know where other writers and authors missed that lesson.

#I mean did they just not understand??? #why is this happening #who is teaching them this #I’m talking to you new remake of alta #atla #I’m talking to you person who wrote the past several romance novels that my friend has recommended to me #books #the point is you write about how the person does things and their characterization so the audience can see it and you are showing it to us #instead of just telling me what’s happening in words #it’s not difficult and it makes me so mad I am full of anger #someone make this stop oh my god #some of these shows I’m watching are driving me nuts like if I wanted to hear the plot I’d get an audio book I wanted to watch this stuff #tv recommendations #great tv shows #tv shows #anyway #alcohol was consumed in the making of this post

2023 reads / storygraph

The Free People’s Village

sci-fi set in an alternate 2020, where Gore was elected and declared a War on Climate Change rather than a War on Terror - but otherwise not much is different, capitalism still reigns and benefits the white and privileged while criminalizing marginalised - especially Black and Indigenous - people

follows a young queer white woman who’s the guitarist in a punk band at a warehouse-turned-housing-and-venue, and who teaches at a predominantly Black school

when she learns that The Lab is going to be torn down for a new electromagnetic hyperway, she gets involved in the movement to stop it - at first just to keep her band, but she gets more involved as she reckons with her privilege and her own anti-racist journey as The Lab becomes the centre of an anti-capitalist revolution during a time of increasing political unrest

#The Free People’s Village #sim kern #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #I thought this was pretty good - interesting premise; some great characters and important conversations #It is definitely a clueless-white-cis-lady-becomes-a-bit-less-clueless kind of story and I think I’d recommend it to fellow white people #but I don’t think non-white reviewers would enjoy this very much. especially the first third or so #with her unconscious racism and bumbling through...a lot of things #But I understand that her being like that is a way to have these discussions in the narrative which ultimately are important conversations #and the revolution depicted here is much more grounded and radical than a lot of white-authored sff revolutions #other than that - the structure was a little strange and sometimes it leaned into the Hey Guys This Is An Alternate Timeline a smidge too #much haha. and also damn pretty depressing in parts. but I guess realistic. p good overall

[seungmoes]

Seungmin on bubble recommended “Natural” from young k’s album and he’s RIGHT

The whole album is so good though so you should listen to all of it

#he also recommended ‘What Is…’ which is probably my 2nd fave so I’d say he has great taste lol

I need everyone to watch Rainbow Prince. Is it good? No. Is it enjoyable? Immensely.

But I was having a lousy day and just a general bad brain day and I’ve been listening to the soundtrack and it has significantly improved my day. So if you like cheesy musicals and aren’t looking for something groundbreaking but is still just a lot of fun, watch Rainbow Prince.

#rainbow prince #rainbow prince the series #rainbow prince bl #bl recs #bl recommendation #also those two are the least subtle people ever #it’s great fun #definitely not for everyone but I’d say give it a shot #maybe the soundtrack could even help make your day better one day too

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve read a fanfiction where Harry has a giant growth spurt and goes on a murdering spree, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

#fanfiction #read on ao3 #ao3 link #harry potter #if i had a nickel #no incorrect quotes this time #do make sure to read the tags on that second one #growth spurt au #I’ve got Hunger For Magic bookmarked #it’s great #read responsibly #if anyone else has fic recommendations similar to these please tell me I’d love to read them

It’s fun going on like, Facebook and seeing the carefully curated parts of your friends still being friends and graduating colleges and doing things you either never could or never had guts to. Like I’m proud of them and this is an old song, but sometimes it does just hurt.

#I’ve been having a WEEK of it #it’s like oh yeah I managed to keep up with these great friends and get my bachelors and have this family and job and and and #and I know it’s… fake. like they did those things but it’s not. #it’s not all sunshine for them either #but like it reminds me that Im usually too terrified to travel and that I’m technically a college dropout and have ghosted or. usually. #been ghosted BY my friends irl #I’ll be fine but it’s sad lady hours in my apartment #time to go on indeed and see them recommend more jobs I don’t want or can’t do #I get that we’re in a healthcare crisis but I’d love to stop seeing nursing applications when I’m NOT A NURSE #I have like. 0 qualifications in that field

Between my ex sister in law’s brother and her new boyfriend, I should be legally allowed to maul anyone that talks about anime to me

#I’ve been recommended so much anime - and had them described in great detail #I just nodded my head and went oh okay yeah wow oh wow #the boyfriend showed me a video where a guy like? used magic to steal a girls underwear? #and I looked him in the eye and asked him why he thought I’d want to see that #no answer #I want to die #addy.txt
