Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

discovered a pretty critical coding error in The Human Body where sometimes the way to feel better when you feel too bad to work out is to work out. this is suboptimal for user experience of The Human Body

drawing is a fine motor skill and will fuck up your muscles and tendons if you don't stretch and the cool thing about tendons is that once you fuck them up they take anywhere from months to years to never to unfuck. so stretch

Tumblr user nocryptographer:
I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.
A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.
AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.
Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.
There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.
I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. 
If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... 
then it's real.

For the sake of clarity, if you see someone listing a number of diagnoses and think huh that’s quite a lot, can I interest you in the word “comorbid” — many disorders impact others, and currently we diagnose them separately though we’re starting to recognise they’re all highly linked

hi @littlehux.bsky.social I just moved houses and am fighting for my life installing living room blinds while listening to Make You Mine This Christmas (for the 3rd time since 2022 I think), and I love it just as much as I did the first two times 🎄🦌❤️

Supporting neurodivergent communities means taking our accommodations seriously, even if you don't understand them.

By all means, it's okay to learn more and try to understand, but your understanding and comfort isn't necessary for making my world more accessible to me

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The autism tax is when it takes me 30 minutes to write a short email because I'm weighing how much information to include and my autistic brain is screaming ALL OF IT

For autistic folks, it can look like being consumed by wholehearted, embodied enjoyable sensory experiences. It could be zen-like repetition of actions or routines.

It could be deep, wide-eyed engagement with treasured interests or activities, including reading, creating, archiving, or researching

Neurodivergent joy looks different for different people and different neurotypes.

For ADHD'ers, it could look like passionate idea creation or problem solving, or it could look like excitedly flitting from one activity to the next. It could look like eager spontaneity or zealous hyperfocus

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Practice your scripts ahead of time:
💠 "Oh wow, that's an inside thought, Uncle Jerry"
💠 "Mom, it's 2025 we don't comment on people's bodies anymore"
💠 "My doctor and I are happy with my weight."

You don't owe anyone an explanation.

ADHD is knowing exactly what you need to do then watching yourself not do it like you're a scientist observing a very dumb experiment

10/10 take. No notes.

"In the real world no one will accommodate you" is trauma talking. It's true that people aren't falling over themselves to help me but my adult life is way more accommodating than my childhood was, because adults get to make choices. I'm accommodating myself.

stop telling your neurodivergent child that in "the real world" people won't accommodate them, so they should suck it up. this is the real world and you shouldn't be your child's first bully
