Extra Terrestrial 🏳️‍⚧️

Most days I can’t tell if I feel more like the only cartoon character in a live action movie or the only human character in a Muppet movie.

I call three shots of vodka the “Rule of 3s”

I learned this fact from Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal when he was trying to rent a 737

To be honest, I don’t really care about you as I don’t know you. I welcome you to not visit my account if you don’t like what I’m posting as it is not my goal to cater to anyone but myself. It’s kind of weird honestly that you felt the need to offer feedback unasked but you do you—somewhere else

Nuance

Alright, back to my venn diagram to see who I can send this to

I’m rewatching The Imagineering Story on Disney+ and I forgot how hard it feels like straight up propaganda when they start talking about Shanghai/China lol

Lord Licorice from the version of Candyland that was around in the 90s

I’m going to tell my kids that this was Lady Gaga

All the above. Hope this helps 😊

I was diagnosed last year at 36. Suddenly, all my struggles with turtlenecks as a kid in the 90s made entirely too much sense

Coworker: I bet people have been real jerks to you

Me: Because of the trans thing? Actually, people have been overwhelmingly supportive. It’s the autism that makes them hate me, probably because it’s not something they can see 🤷‍♀️

I’m working on expanding my friend circle but my current situation is so annoying. It’s like anytime I invite someone out somewhere they just run out the clock on the invite and send a novel of an excuse at the time the plans would’ve been. Just say no, it’s so easy. I don’t care why lol

In terms of Zelda, my life feels like Breath of the Wild. Each big discovery—anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism—was like taking down a Divine Beast. Realizing I’m trans was beating Calamity Ganon. Now that I’ve beaten the game, I’m just running around Hyrule, leveling up and waiting for more DLC.

Imagine if diamonds really were your best friend, how sad. Imagine if it really was raining men, how terrible. I think songs are just awful

Haha! Earlier this week I was watching Toy Story and had the realization that Pixar can be separated into a Randy Newman and Post Randy Newman era. The truly timeless Pixar movies only came out in the age of Randy. Nothing since has broken through for me.

I don’t trust people who spell it “damnit” and not “dammit”

For years, I’ve been stuck in that awkward limbo where if I show my ID without being asked, they look at me like I’m stupid for thinking they need it. Then on the flip side, if I don’t show my ID without being asked they act like I should have known they needed it. Can’t win! 🤷‍♀️

In retrospect, all of the adults telling me to “ignore bullies” when I was a kid was really bad advice. Pretty much every name that I was called by a bully ended up being pretty much right on the money.

Could have saved a lot of time and therapy!

Oh well, thanks for trying bullies! 🫶

I really hope all those people who spend November through December proclaiming “DiE hArD iS a ChRiStMaS mOvIe” got a personality under their tree this year.

Thank you! 😊 And don’t apologize for being late! Any reminder that someone supports me and is excited for me is a reminder that always arrives on time 🥹

Yeah, I’m pretty sure this was the chapter where about halfway through, I found myself relating too much only to burst into tears moments later with the realization that I was autistic. The life I had been living immediately ended and I was diagnosed a year later. Amazing book and great author.

Look, I have nothing against members of the military. I appreciate everything they do to keep us safe and I respect them for doing it when I know I’d never be able to do it myself.

But oh my god I don’t give a fuck about any of those “soldier returns home and surprises family” videos.

The world would be such a better place if vaccines actually caused autism.

Update to this: The “friends” referenced in this post all decided to no longer be in my life.

Probably should’ve seen that coming 🤦‍♀️🏳️‍⚧️

At some point we need to start holding Adam Sandler accountable for Rob Schneider

According to the state of California, Disneyland also causes cancer. There’s even a sign out front. I’ll take my chances.

I honestly probably would have watched Pop Culture Jeopardy but I just can’t get over multiple people being at the podium. It removes the whole Jeopardy vibe that would motivate me to watch.

If anyone tells you that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, don’t take the bait. Just gently pat them on the head and walk away.

I was diagnosed as autistic and realized I was trans all in 2024. My approach is to establish a support system first and make friends from that as opposed to the other way around. I’ve found support groups to attend that have been amazing and I can see friendships forming soon.
