@autistics #ActuallyAutistic that takes way too long for my taste…

https://mas.to/@skeletor/116071997877680037

A meme-style image featuring Skeletor, the blue-skinned, muscular cartoon villain from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He is seated sideways on a throne constructed entirely of large, pale bones lashed together, including curved rib bones and long femurs that form the backrest in a spiky, skeletal fan shape behind him.

Skeletor's body is bright blue and heavily muscular, and he wears a deep purple hood and matching boots and gloves. His face is a yellow skull with hollow black eye sockets and a wide, toothy grin, partially shadowed beneath the hood.

He rests one elbow on his knee and props his chin against his fist in a contemplative pose, as if delivering a smug or philosophical statement. A large, bone-handled sword with a silver blade lies angled across his lap, its point extending toward the lower left corner of the image.

The background appears to be a dim, stone-walled interior, suggesting a dungeon or fortress setting. Bold, all-caps white text with a thick black outline appears at the top and bottom of the image in classic meme font.

The top text reads, "NO REVENGE." The bottom text reads, "ROTTEN FRUIT FALLS ON ITS OWN."

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic

A dark blue digital card featuring a quote from the TV show Marvel’s Jessica Jones, shared via the Iconfactory Tapestry app.

The image is a rectangular graphic with a gradient blue background.

The top left has a circular icon of a movie film reel with the number "3" inside it. Next to it is the hashtag #RANDOMMOVIETVQUOTES in green.

The top right shows the date 11/Mar/26 in white.

The center left shows the word Mastodon written in a large green font. Below the title, the text "Sean C. @filmfreak75" identifies the poster.

The central text of the card reads:

You don’t decide to trust someone. It happens or it doesn’t. No matter how much you want it to. — Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Jessica Jones

At the bottom is a repeat of the hashtag #RandomMovieTVQuotes in light blue at the bottom of the card.

Small grey text outside the card border at the bottom left says "Shared via Iconfactory Tapestry" and the URL "tapestry.iconfactory.com" at the bottom right.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic so the next newsletter draft is pending final production…

…and in silent protest i added a blank post for what would have been the follow-up to the December 2025 item…

…as a result, tomorrow i need to cut off all professional ties, in my personal capacity, with the group that caused this issue in the first place…

…the employee disability affinity group…

…let that sink in

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic

https://mas.to/@skeletor/116081144335285101

A meme-style image using a still from the 1980s animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

In the scene, two muscular cartoon characters stand close together against a dark, cave-like background with deep green and blue tones.

On the left is He-Man, depicted with light blue skin (as stylized in the cartoon's lighting), a square jaw, and straight, chin-length orange hair with bangs. His eyes glow solid white, giving him an intense, almost mystical expression.

He wears a pink chest harness with a heart-shaped emblem at the center and rests one hand forward, palm slightly upturned, as if gesturing mid-conversation.

Leaning in from the right is Skeletor, shown with a bright yellow skull face, hollow black eye sockets, and a wide, toothy skeletal grin.

He wears a deep purple hood and matching armor that frames his skull, his posture angled toward He-Man in a conspiratorial or persuasive pose. One of Skeletor's arms stretches across in front of He-Man, palm open, as if emphasizing a point.

Bold, all-caps white text with a thick black outline appears at the top and bottom in classic meme font.

The top text reads: "IT IS BETTER TO APPEAR STRANGE TO OTHERS."

The bottom text continues: "THAN TO BE A STRANGER TO YOURSELF."

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic working on my annual review and i have to:

"include at least one goal focused on [my] personal professional development and [let my manager know] how can [they] help support [me] in in these goals (or in general) for the upcoming year”

as an admin, no one gives a shit about my professional development so this seems like a trap

plus, this is a manager who was instrumental in making my accommodation process extraordinarily difficult

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic doing a workplace climate survey and these are my options for various dorms of discrimination

based on my experience i would need to choose “less than once a month” which feels like a passive aggressive way to minimize issues

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic let the eugenics begin…

Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should. —Malcom, Jurassic Park

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 842 , Monday 16/02/2026

Monday started at around 07:30.

It’s been a day of chilling out & generally destressing after all the peopling yesterday.

I love my family to bits but I do find prolonged exposure requires lots of energy & these days I do give myself time to recover.

Final Thoughts.

Nope, nada, I got nothin!

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic anyone else ever experience a colleague saying something like "Let's grab a coffee.”; “I'd love to catch up and hear about your vacation.”; etc. and never do even though they do with everyone else.

and i get the social lubrication implications to these sorts of interactions, but it pisses me off that it’s ok for them to blow me off, but it’s apocalyptic if in their eyes i fail at some equally meaningless overtures.

My brain's been serving up some real darkness lately.

(And when an #ActuallyAutistic brain latches onto something, it COMMITS 🙃)

So I'm reminding myself that in this world (especially at this time) ✨#Autistic Joy✨ is an act of defiant resistance.

And I'll be damned if I don't remember to stand in awe of all I've weathered, and of our #neurodivergent culture as a whole.

Me outside in the woods, wearing a climbing harness and tank top with the celebratory phrase "Be in awe of my 'tism." The words are written around an adorable racoon emerging from a trashcan with her little arms held in the air and a rainbow above her head.

With world autism day around the corner, it's a good time to post this.

#InfinitySymbol

Panel 1 (top left): person (left) looks at a primary colored puzzle piece (right). Text at the top reads “Why I hate the puzzle piece as a symbol for autism.”

Panel 2 (top right): front view of the person, a blue puzzle piece over the right eye (left in the image). Text at the bottom reads: “I am not missing a piece.”

Panel 3 (bottom left): the person is depicted on several puzzle pieces lying mixed together. Text at the bottom reads: “I do not need solving.”

Panel 4 (bottom right): the person (right) is holding a white panel (left) on which a rainbow colored infinity symbol is displayed and looking at it.

Text at the top reads: “I like the infinity symbol for neurodiversity.”
Text at the bottom reads: “It is inclusive and represents a broad spectrum of neurological differences.”

My earworms are tied to movement. Walking and chewing are the usual culprits. When sedentary the music usually disappears.

Now if I could get more than eight random bars repeating, or have any idea of the actual words I'd be all set.

Even attempting to hum the tune to someone else so they can identify it generally ends badly.

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic this is why i’ve been advocating #EnoughIsEnough for awhile now…

…i’m tired of it being on me (exclusively) to meet them where they are…

…when was the last time they even attempted to meet you where you are…
