I don’t know how much of it has to do with being on the spectrum and how much of it has to do with people just being extremely judgy but a lot of things are tucked away until someone gets to know us. It also doesn’t at all help that in our experience, people have used information against us to get us in trouble.

As a result, we don’t discuss hobbies, even “normal” ones. Can’t talk about drawing because we’re furries and people are still weird about that. Can’t talk about hiking or nature stuff because it would lead to discussions of naturism/nudism which again, people are still weird about. Aside from hobbies, discussing being plural and trans is completely off the table unless we’re 1000% sure the other party isn’t going to be an asshole about it. - Phoebe (it/its)

Mega Man, no matter how much time I put into trying to grasp the controls and mechanics, it just never clicks.

Gender is a spectrum and that also includes the intensity of those feelings. You don’t need to place any specific labels on yourself but that is certainly relatable to someone like me who is genderfluid, as well as those of us in the system who are demigender. - Cass (xe/xem)

Toss up between Jenny (867-5309) for being absolutely disgusting on a conceptual level for glorifying stalker behavior or Owner of a Lonely Heart for going fucking nowhere and then having the audacity to drop a blaring synth note like it’s a crescendo before going back to nothing.

God the “Watergate does not bother me… does your conscience bother you?” line alone puts this up there for me, and that’s far from the only thing to dislike.

I don’t know if this is the kind of answer you’re looking for but for us, it ends up being spaces online like chats, streams, and VRChat. It’s kind of the only times and place where we actually get to exist as we’re meant to. - Tabi (ey/it)

Not too bad, solid 7/10 while we’re stuck at work. Pining for the weekend and looking forward to playing games with friends and possibly some thrifting. - Finn (fae/she)

Into the Breach for sure. Extremely satisfying strategy gameplay with a ton a variety with the different teams/units, heaps of replayability especially after the content update from a couple years back, and it being a run based game is great for folks who only get an hour or two to play on any given day.

If he cared so much about optics and looking good so that people would be excited to get this book, why not simply make the right fucking vote that everyone screamed at him to make??? If someone’s only going to be here for completely self-serving reasons at least have the foresight to do that right.

You know I’m kinda surprised they even still bother with thinly-veiled queerphobia when being overt is trendy nowadays.

Only ever lurked on reddit but really hopeful to see this community come together on here, and excited to actually be a part of it as well!

If you ever want to dig a little more into plurality, more than one is a great summary of the basics.

Yeah! Props also to Ian Walker for being really cool about it and mentioning it. Coco even said Ian was super respectful in email communications

Meatballs. Have yet to see any pizzeria offer it but whenever we do a homemade pizza and there happens to be leftover meatballs, it’s fantastic.

Milennials? Cringe? But what about all those industries we destroyed!?

We were feeling really riled up for a month or two before finally snapping and walking out. Before that, it was a ton of false and broken promises, no signs of appreciation from higher-ups, lots and lots of other co-workers leaving for better work and management not filling their roles leading to more work for the rest.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was someone nearly hitting our car in the parking lot and then blocking the space where we can pull in. We could deal with all that other bullshit but when it’s a matter of our physical safety, I drew a firm line and just clocked out and went home. Got a call later that “my services were no longer needed” and that was that.

We were out of work for a month but took the time to search and landed at a place that was paying more than the raise we had asked for (and denied) from the last. It was a struggle for our mental health and wouldn’t recommend it but sometimes you have to look after yourself in drastic measures. I don’t regret it.
