this is an interesting study, but it's immensely frustrating how autism is treated like a genetic black box instead of something that is also neurological, developmental and *sociological* in nature. this group was *37%* of participants, the largest subtype! there are more factors at play here!

"The Social and Behavioral Challenges group had more mutations in genes that became active after birth, Litman and Troyanskaya say, which could explain why these participants did not have developmental delays and tended to be diagnosed later than those in the other three groups."

been trying to write some flash fiction

Breathe in.
The static doesn't dissipate, but it's the only fresh air you'll get.
Tastes of metal on the tongue.
Slowly, slowly, the white walls begin to feel like home. It's dark out there.
The thumping slows. The sound bounces off your eardrums as your heart decides to settle down. You count your blessings.
How many days has it been? All of them feel like your first, but there's been too many to count. The static leaves your lungs with an exhale of resignation, one of the few emotions your mind seems to remember. Not even awe lingers around anymore.
The monitor gives you some options for landing, but home stopped being one of them long ago. The word rings hollow. Tastes bitter on the tongue.
Maybe that's just the metal, though.

didn't realize this came out last week, picked it up asap. couldn't have come at a more perfect point in my life honestly. forever grateful for Dr. Price's advocacy and writings on neurodivergence. "Unmasking Autism" was truly a life changing book for me in realizing my own autism.

enjoyed Nosferatu 2024 but wished it gave more

my review of Nosferatu 2024:

an enjoyable, unnerving watch, but it feels like less than the sum of its parts. I started to see the vision in the second half, but it was never pushed as far as Eggers has proven he can go- it coalesces into something where none of the aspects are as impressive as they could be.

Lily Rose Depp gives a downright incredible performance but her fantastic physical acting is underutilized; the psychosexual angle is intriguing but ultimately slight; the presentation is gruesome, bleak, gorgeous, but never as gripping and ominous as it threatens to be. it sits in a strange no man's land where it has everything it needs but not quite enough in any respect.

seriously though, Lily Rose Depp, god damn was she good in this

"This administration abides by the rule of law," said the spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin.
"During further assessment, intelligence officers could not definitively determine whether the individual is or is not a confirmed member of TDA," or Tren de Aragua. "He may very well be a member of this vicious gang. He may not be."

In a follow-up message, Ms. McLaughlin said that the department had received new information that Mr. Castillo was a member of the gang. She did not provide evidence.

"TDA is a pathetic gang for human trafficking, drug trafficking and kidnap for ransom among other heinous crimes," Ms. McLaughlin said.
"The New York Times is more interested in writing sob stories about its disgusting members than justice for its victims."

to cut to the chase, read part j: unlawful pornography is defined as *any* visual depiction of "lewd exhibition of the uncovered genitals, buttocks, or, if such person is female, the breast, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer" this is bad. link to the bill text is in the alt text

excerpt from bill SB593:

"Unlawful pornography" means any visual depiction or individual image stored or contained in any format on any medium including, but not limited to film, motion picture, videotape, photograph, negative, undeveloped film, slide, photographic product, reproduction of a photographic product, play, or performance in which a person is engaged in any of the following acts with a person: a. sexual intercourse which is normal or perverted, b. anal sodomy, c. sexual activity with an animal, d. sadomasochistic abuse, e. flagellation or torture, f. physical restraint such as binding or fettering in the context of sexual conduct, g. fellatio or cunnilingus,
h. excretion in the context of sexual conduct, i. lewd exhibition of the uncovered genitals in the context of masturbation or other sexual conduct, and j. lewd exhibition of the uncovered genitals, buttocks, or, if such person is female, the breast, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer

started reviewing stuff over on Backloggd. was making a list of games for my partner and thinking about Animal Crossing New Horizons 🎮 www.backloggd.com/u/voidfolly/...

my review of Animal Crossing New Horizons:

has a special place in my heart even if its hollowness does ring bittersweet as the years drag on.
I was devastated when I realized I had forgotten to transfer an island with so many favorite villagers to a new Switch...and then I remembered that the endgame never really stuck with me, and that the joy and intrigue of the initial hours is what came to me so fondly.
those feelings, too, have faded with time. I do check in now and again though, I usually end up playing again for a week or two; it serves its purpose as a pick-me-up, until it wears out its welcome.
I haven't played New Leaf in a while. maybe I should check up on them too, I miss those guys.

sent this to someone dear, but I feel like it's a good microcosm of how I've been trying to navigate being autistic and learning to unmask with narcissists in the family. you have to learn to hear what they're actually saying, something they will never offer you. my mom has no idea what DBT is btw

text from me:

it's partially narcissism and partially "the burden of autism is other people." my mom is trying to micro manage more because she's seen me more emotional lately... anything on her to-do list is more important than anything I have to say, always.
so you just kinda learn to ignore it. she forced me today to sit down with her and look at local
DBT therapists and it was absolutely a way of saying "I don't trust that you are stable, go to therapy now," nevermind the fact that l've basically been doing DBT on my own for months

people are pointing out hypocrisy but I have to say, do you all understand how hilariously terrible of an idea this is they are rejecting cybersecurity from the *federal government of the United States of America* and using private servers as in like, with lesser security

Trump - who attacked his then-opponent
Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server for official business during his first presidential run - is overseeing a fully privatized transition that communicates from an array of @transition47.com,
@trumpvancetransition.com and @djtfp24.com accounts rather than anything ending in gov, and uses private servers, laptops and cell phones instead of government-issued devices.
