There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake!

This is what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people…

I'd fucking retire dude are you kidding me

I've got one of these. It's from the vtech V.smile educational games console. It's got a really nifty feature: it's ambidextrous!

you start beating them and mid match they beyblade their fucking controller to their dominant hand

Here's my Advantage/Disadvantage d20 for Weird Dice Wednesday and the double nat20 I rolled on it in game a few months back.

shanks is that spiritually enlightened beach bum constantly holding a jack n coke w a splash of lime who wasn’t lying that time he said he knew karate

he's the chillest most laid back person u know and his hobbies seem to consist of 'drink, ocean, dad jokes' and then he reveals in passing he's on like eight country's most wanted list. still a stand up guy tho

‘agreed’. that’s a funny way to spell ‘were forcibly removed with the alternative of painful deaths’. 

propaganda

Your regular reminder that the first example is Canadian. (The clue is “first nations.”)

Much as we like to pretend otherwise, America doesn’t have a monopoly on racism, genocide, or whitewashing.

also a reminder than australian schools do not acknowledge our own history of slavery, or “blackbirding”. i had no idea 60,000 pacific islanders were kidnapped and enslaved in australia until after i graduated, because no one talks about it. and even what we do learn is watered down. the focus was always on white settlers and how they discovered land, their mapping, their dedication and their struggles; only very briefly do we get to focus on the murders they committed, the generational trauma they caused by stealing an entire generation for the sole purpose of breeding the indigenous blood out of them, the indescribable, abhorrent things they did to indigenous people.

yeah.

s/o to this skeleton babe from 1936

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

I've seen Death depicted as a card dealer or other sort of gambler, a guy in a suit, a farmer, a robed apparition, and any other number of things, but this? This has to be the best Death I've seen yet. An old seductress saying "hey kid, don't you wanna die in a trench for a government that doesn't give a fuck about you, just like your dear old dad?" This goes hard as fuck.

"I used to know your daddy." kicks like a mule.

If you know anyone who seems really chill to the point of being virtually indestructible, like nothing could ever bother them in any way, could get hit by a train and just shake it off and be totally fine, laughing it off as soon as they've dusted themselves off and stopped bleeding, but who occasionally just randomly falls apart to complete fucking smithereens with seemingly no cause nor warning, only to get back up again a few minutes/hours/days later like "ok yeah I'm fine again that was weird lmao", and you've ever wondered what the fuck is up with that:

They are actually not ok and most likely are not ok at any point. The whole "hardiest person you know who just collapses randomly sometimes" thing isn't a deliberately constructed façade, as a matter of fact it might be something that they actually personally believe themselves to be. But in reality this is somebody who's either unintentionally learned or has been deliberately trained to hide negative emotions and mask symptoms at all costs, as the #1 priority that goes over any other survival needs.

So even though it may look like they go from 1 to 100 completely at random and unpredictably, and then swing right back again to being totally fine, you have no way of knowing how long they've been at 95% before the last line of defense broke down and the system collapsed. And once they flip back up, odds are that they just managed to scrape their shit back together again just enough to get their backup masking systems running. The "check engine" light never turned on because the wire was clipped years ago.

If this is you, this is your callout to seek some sort of help. I'm telling on everyone in this room including myself.

Every engine failure is "unpredictable" and "random" if you've taped over the Check Engine light.

As should we all.

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

Also because my exact address in Queertown is usually nobody's business.

This explanation is SO GOOD. Like, I inherently understood it, but I had such a hard time articulating it!
