My Punk Tips for a DIY Lifestyle:
Thrift some black fabric (or grab an old black shirt you don't care for anymore), get a white fabric marker, posca, sharpie, or paint and make a bunch of patches to sew onto your clothes.
If you're a digital artist this is your time to shine! Make stencils, posters, design clothes (there are free templates online), and if you don't own a printer libraries will let you print for cheap and sometimes free. My library card allows me to print 10 pages for free.
Reuse everything or if you don't want it anymore donate it or recycle it.
Trash is very punk. Soda can tabs for instance can make for cool jewlery. It's all about creativity.
Drug store makeup is your best friend and honestly they're sometimes better than the luxury name brand products. Or hell even make some of your own.
If you need to order something I suggest etsy. Yes, some of it's expensive but you're supporting small artists and buissnesses rather than a corportation. It's also easier to find poc, queer, and neurodivergent buissnesses and artists.
Overall punk is about being creative. Just get creative and have fun!
TIL Dr. Sigmund Freud was addicted to smoking and failed to quit for good throughout a 45 years long battle that included 33 operations for cancer of the jaw, an artificial jaw replacement, and attacks of “tobacco angina” exacerbated by nicotine . He was known to smoke up to twenty cigars a day.

When you're autistic, it's impossible to miss how much society normalizes child abuse.
I could dedicate my entire life to studying how to interact with people and I'd still never master the social skills that young children are expected to have on command.
Say the wrong thing? That's disrespectful and you're punished. And you don't even have to actually say anything wrong. Pretty much anything you say can be considered "giving lip" if your parent wants some excuse to punish you. But if you say nothing, then you get punished for ignoring. You also have to calculate your response to their mind game quickly because taking too long to respond is considered ignoring. Also, if you're being wrongly accused of something, saying nothing is considered a confession. And even if you somehow manage to say exactly what your parent wants in exactly the correct tone, they'll still punish you for "sarcasm" or "not really meaning it".

Cuttlefish can change color to fade into the background. It can do it amazingly fast.
Shoutout to all the hosts who thought arguing with the guys in your head was a normal way of “thinking about things” 😭

Being plural isn’t equal to being transgender. Endos do not exist.
There are OSDDID systems in endogenic communities being gaslit into believing that they haven’t experienced “severe enough trauma” for their mind to fragment to survive.
Endos and non-traumagenic systems are not a healthy community to be a part of and cause more harm than good.
Friendly reminder that if you support endos and non-traumagenic systems, you are not welcome on my blog.
You’re causing harm to people.
And AspenFrostEN fans are not welcome here. No one deserves to be harassed or threatened because your little hive mind said it was okay. It is not okay to call anyone slurs or use mental illnesses as a means of mocking someone. You’re not welcome here either.
Aspen fans harm the anti-endo community as well and make it a harmful place even for anti-endos.
You are not saints but rather the wolf in the clothing of the sheep, not protecting the herd but killing it.
You are also causing harm to people.
autistic system culture is not being able to mask *at all* in an autistic way, but having almost all alters masking in a system way without even trying to. like we have no idea how to *not* mask, except for a few alters. and except for smaller changes like voices and choice of words maybe. but mostly we just mask inherently, even when we're alone /:
