If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Realization:

I cannot comfortably work unless I start eating a whole lot more.

Which in turn will mean paying a whole lot more.

All the things I'm putting off, dentist appointments, eye appointments, car maintenance, lunch...it's all because I'm so cheap.

Apparently since I didn't die in college I'm going to have to actually start paying for everything myself.

I hate this more than is reasonable.

There's not really much to get. Great Grandma's response was garbled giggling/gibberish with "Christmas" being the only ascertainable word and that's enough to make weird people like me crack up.

Looks like you can't upload new avatars on mobile. Unless I'm blind.

Try imagining how far the universe extends! Keep thinking about it until you go insane.

Is your attempted uploaded icon a Sylveon with mushroom clouds reflecting off it's eyes?

If so, then it worked.

My friend filled out an application for college students to join the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and meet with government officials to discuss the needs of autistics. She told me that I helped her understand the importance of advocacy and fighting for our rights, and in her application, she actually wrote about me, saying "Together we have grown our passion for the importance of autism advocacy work."

This is so awesome. The application asks things like "What people from the autism and disability rights movements do you admire and why?" (which she has no answer to, so she intends to do some research for that one) and "What do you think are the issues that most affect autistics?"

She's come a long way on the importance of autistic advocacy. Before, she wasn't interested at all, figuring she could easily "pass" as a non-autistic. Indeed, I've seen the argument given that many autistics don't want anyone to know they're autistic, but instead just want to learn how to get by without anyone knowing.

But for most of us, that's just impossible. My friend learned the hard way with some unpleasant experiences at a job, where people started to dislike her, and her boss made it clear that if she wasn't hired specifically because he wanted to integrate someone with special needs into the workforce (in other words, he was being charitable), she would likely have been fired. I think that gave her a wake-up call, and helped her want to join the rights movement. Now she sees how important it is, and is actively trying to become part of it.

I have only ever seen drinking fountains with the spigot on the right. Today I noticed a pair of d. fountains with the spigot on the left. Maybe it was to accommodate lefties? It was in an arts building after all.

I think that the Internet has an emotion-amplifying effect. Somebody says something, it gets shared all over the place, and the emotion builds up exponentially compared to the original feeling conveyed with the thing itself.

Like mob mentality or something.

That was just what I was thinking.

But beyond anger. How sad people make people sad and happy people can make people happy.

It must be that empathy thing I never understood in school!

How late of me.

Nice work. I always wanted to make a trope but I figured that they would all have pages by now.

Sometimes you just come across that one glaring hole, and then you lovingly fill it in while getting into sixty-response-long passive-aggressive arguments with people in the YKTTW comments section. And it's worth it.
