I always underestimate my hyposensitivities. I can be faint from heat and still not feel hot. My tourettes can cause me to slap myself so hard my ears ring and I’ll hardly feel the pain. I cannot imagine how these things must feel to neurotypicals, nevermind for autistics who are HYPERSENSITIVE to those things. It’s just so crazy to me that I have such a different perception. To hypersensitive autistics, you have my respect.
Like, I can be hypersensitive to some things. For example, if something burns my tongue, I feel it for hours, or even until the next day. And being hyposensitive has its drawbacks. I cannot be trusted to manage my own body during the summer because I can’t tell when I’m hot or thirsty. But being hypersensitive to those things? In June? Respect.
“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year
If this post persuades even one person to get a free library account and use it, my time on this hellsite will not have been spent in vain
Had to label the old trash barrels so the collectors would know to take them
This should be the last post on tumblr before it is shut down.
if we ever close down, I HOPE this is the last thing we all reblog
[ID: A picture of two trash cans on a yard, one of the trash cans is leaning against a mostly unseen wooden object, the other is standing by itself and is more visibly dented, the one standing on it’s own it labeled with marker on tape that is attached to the can, “AND SO THE TRASH BARRELS BECAME TRASH THEMSELVES”, the one leaning is labeled in the same way and reads, “TAKE US AWAY BOYS”. /End ID]
