I Felt That, Mr. Wheaton. I Felt That In My Own Soul.

This is why I hand-wrote my subtitles before posting my YouTube videos.

whenever i click the cc button on a youtube video that clearly has a high budget and is made by a fucking studio and i see “english - auto generated” i spit daggers from my eyes and mouth at whoever decided to not pay someone to make actual captions

If Neil Gaiman and my buddies are supporting Poison Ivy...well I don't know what else to say then.

To everyone who feels like they don't have someone special for Valentine's Day, remember that you always have to have room for yourself. @azulcrescent knows that for sure, and she's an awesome comic creator.

ABA is a policy that I definitely do not support. I have beaten myself up some days because I don’t feel “normal.” It still takes talking with my friends and family to realize that I am not supposed to be “normal.” I’m just supposed to be me. I am lucky to know several people who are willing to help me grow and develop my independence and skills rather than try to make me fit the mold.

Hello everyone,

I found an article from the Child Mind Institute that explains the controversies around ABA therapy. Here is a quick read of the article. The full article will be linked below:

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps kids with autism learn skills and lessen problematic behavior like hurting themselves. There are several different forms of ABA. All are based on the idea that reinforcing certain behaviors will lead kids to repeat those behaviors. Studies have shown that ABA is effective, but some parents and autistic self-advocates do not support its use.

One criticism of ABA is that the earliest version of it used punishments as well as rewards. Punishments are no longer used in ABA, but critics think it is still too hard on kids because it is so repetitive. Supporters argue that modern ABA is often much less repetitive and that practitioners are trained to make learning fun and interesting for the child.

Another criticism is that ABA is too focused on eliminating behaviors instead of building skills. Some practitioners agree that this can be a problem. They emphasize that therapy needs to focus on what kids should be doing, rather than what they shouldn’t be doing.

Finally, some autistic self-advocates say that ABA tries to make kids with autism fit neurotypical standards. They argue that autistic kids have different needs, so they shouldn’t be taught to look and act like neurotypical kids. Some of these advocates says that speech and language therapy is a more helpful way for autistic kids to build skills and independence.

My best friend sent this to me, and it is a good reminder of why I am creating this diary. I have been going to theme parks since I was a baby, and I grew up with these characters and experiences as a big part of my life. Autistic kids become Autistic adults, and we need to remember that as time goes on.

To everyone who needs help and is out there fighting the good fight, Happy Pride Month! Right now, we live in a scary time. But, we cannot lose sight of how much we care for each other. We need to look out for each other more than ever, and only when we can do that can we make the world a better place.

I found this author while looking around on Tumblr. As someone who fairly recently has begun going through my own questioning phase and dealt with similar self-loathing issues, this resonated a lot with me. I highly recommend giving Mari Costa a read and a like.

old autobio from back in 2018. ive changed a lot, but this comic resonated with a lot of folks at the time

This is my first attempt at one of these shipping memes. I have no idea if I did it properly or based it on much canon items. But, these are my headcanons for one of my all-time favorite Zelda ships.
