It's funny bc the FAA is so against any type of neurodivergence in pilots (if you dont know it's EXTREMELY difficult to get a flight medical certificate if you've been diagnosed with... anything, any kind of neurodivergence really. It's insanely restrictive and a hot button topic in aviation) but every pilot I've ever met have been like. Extremely on the spectrum [positive]
Like there's So Much to being a pilot. You HAVE to be autistic as fuck to do it. Not only do you have to understand the basics of how to control the airplane, you also have to understand aerodynamics, physics, meteorology, engine mechanics, how all the instruments work, tons of math, how radio signals work, navigation, and a bunch of other shit I've probably forgot. My current study unit is about the Earth's magnetic field and how it affects the magnetic compass in the airplane. This is a whole deep dive of a chapter. And it's important and not some kind of tangent. You have to know this just to make turns with any accuracy 😵‍💫 You have to be processing all of this all at once while flying and also just physically fly the airplane at the same time.
So all this to say it's real funny the FAA says ohhh no you can't be autistic and be a pilot. Bc like my instructor is the most autistic adult I've ever met in my LIFE and I relate him so much lmao. I told him I finally got gifted an iPad (for navigation, foreflight is Apple only) by my lovely partner and he went on a 20 minute hyperfixated explanation of lesser known features of foreflight. When we were supposed to be doing our preflight lmao. He'll text me that we should fly soon and that he misses seeing me and I'll text him right back asking if we can schedule next week and he clearly got distracted and doesn't answer for three days lmao. He's one of my favorite people and I get him so much lmaoooo but man if the FAA got rid of all undiagnosed pilots they'd have none left lel
Anyway I'm still waiting for him to text me back kdkdkdkf

Ok I know nobody cares about my flight training BUT
My instructor is the funniest man ever, he literally taxiied the airplane off the runway and into the grass to see some turkeys closer. while I was fighting him on the rudder bc I didn't understand why we were going off the runway SFKLJF
full context is that we were landing, he saw something on the runway, I asked if we go around or not and he said continue bc the shapes were moving off the runway. They were wild turkeys, really big ones. we land, we slow down, and IM trying to keep on the runway like a good little student and suddenly the airplane really wants to go right toward the turkeys and the left rudder won't respond and I'm like ???? until I realize it's because my instructor is putting in full right rudder to veer toward the DAMN TURKEYS bc he wants to get a closer look LSIKDJFAWSLKOIFJAWSIKJLFSDKFSHDKFLJDFL and he starts telling me all about the turkeys.
*disclaimer - fully safe, he wasn't actually fucking around, we needed to turn around here anyway. our rural airport has 20ft wide paved runway area and then a further 20ft of grass on each side that is also usable 'runway' and we 'left' the paved part to turn around in this grass that's still groomed for landing/aircraft movement.
We also passed a small group of crows on one taxi back and I got to hear about how these three specific crows are a family (two parents and a younger one) and they get REALLLY pissy if any other crows come through and how my instructor knows them on sight and they're usually really good at avoiding the airplanes but he still looks out for them of course. he knows the local crow family and there's CROW DRAMA at the airport when other crows wander by. THAT HES PRIVY TO. he kills me. he knows the crows. they probably have accepted the big noisy bird as one of their own

Don't you think you owe it to readers to give them what they want?
No? What an odd take. Read my fic or don't.

How do you keep being kind when everyone else is awful? On the internet too, where people say the worst things. How are you so gentle to everyone’s ideas? Do you ever get the urge to punch someone, and if you do, how do you respond nicely?
I guess I've been on social media since 1989. I've made every mistake you can make already. At the point I figure the only point in being here is to be as kind and helpful as I can be.

Hey thanks @findyourrp we're dating.
Tumblr media
Hi, I’m Quinn! 24, she/they. I’m looking for a long term RP partner, preferably 21+. I like building a rapport ic and ooc — so let’s scream together! Preferred roleplay location is discord. I tend to write multi-para/novella length.
Specifically interested in Our Flag Means Death (Stede and Ed) or Good Omens (Aziraphale and Crowley) roleplays. Happy to write either character!! Though, I will preface, I’m not overly into NSFW/smut themes.
💀☺️✨ Thank you!!!
like & asker will find you
