So why do you hate the advertising industry?
Hokay so.
Let me preface this with some personal history. It's not relevant to the sins of the advertising industry perse but it illustrates how I started to grow to hate it.
I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up, but to be a vet you basically have to be good enough to get into medical school. I do not have the math chops or discipline to make it in medical school. I went into art instead, and in a desperate attempt to find some commercial viability that didn't involve moving to California, I went into graphic design.
I've been a graphic designer for about seven or eight years now and I've worn a lot of hats. One of them was working in a print shop. Now, the print shop had a lot of corporate customers who had various ad campaigns. One of them was Gate City Bank, which had a bigass stack of postcards ordered every couple months to mail to their customers.
Now, paper comes from Dakota Paper, and they make their paper the usual way. Somewhere far, far from our treeless plain there is a forest of tall trees. These trees are cut down and put on big fossil fuel burning trucks and hauled to a paper mill that turns them into pulp while spewing the most fowl odors imaginable over the neighboring town and loads the pulp up with bleach to give it a nice white color.
Then the paper is put on yet another big truck and hauled off to the local paper depot, then put on another big truck and delivered to my print shop, where I turned the paper into postcards telling people to go even deeper into debt to buy a boat because it's almost summer. The inks used are a type of nasty heat sensitive plastic that is melted to the surface of the paper with heat. Then the postcards are put on yet ANOTHER truck and sent to the bank, which puts them on ANOTHER truck and finally into the hands of their customers, who open their mail and take one look at the post card and immediately discard it.
Heaps and heaps and literal hundreds of pounds of literal garbage created at the whim of the marketing team several times a year. And thats just one bank in one city.
I came to realize very quickly that graphic design was the delicate art of turning trees into junk mail.
And wouldn't you know it there are a TON of companies that basically only do junk mail. Many of them operate under the guise of a "charity," sending you pictures of suffering children or animals and begging for handouts and when they get those handouts the executives take a nice fat cut, give some small token amount to whatever cause they pay lip service to, and then put the rest of the cash right back into making more mailers. "Direct mail marketing" they call it.
Oh but maybe it's not so bad, you can advertise online after all. Now that there's decent ad blocker out there and better anti-virus ads usually don't destroy your computer anymore just by existing.
Except now when I search for the exact business I want on Google it's buried under three or four different "promoted search items" tricking me into clicking on them only to shoot themselves in the foot because I searched for the specific result I wanted for a reason and couldn't use those other websites even if I felt like it.
And now we have advertising on YouTube and on every streaming service, forcing more and more eyes onto the ad for the brand new Buick Envision that parks itself because you're too stupid to do it on your own.
Oh thats ok maybe I'll get Spotify premium and go ad free and listen to some podcasts- SIKE we have the hosts of your show doing the song and dance now. Are you depressed and paranoid from listening to my true crime podcast about murdered and mutilated teenagers? That's ok, my sponsor Better Help can keep you sane enough to stay alive and spend more money.
It's gotten so terrible that now you have content farms, huge hubs of shell companies that crank out video after video to get more and more precious clicks. Which if the videos were innocuous maybe that wouldn't be so awful except now you have cooking hacks that can actually burn your house down and craft hacks that can electrocute you being flung into your eyes at the speed of mach fuck so some slimy internet clickbait jockey doesn't need to get a real job.
It of course goes without saying that animals are also relentlessly exploited by clickbait companies that will put them in compromising situations on purpose to create a fake fishing hack video or even just straight up killing them for sport by feeding small animals to a pufferfish that rips them apart for the camera.
And all of this, ALL of this doesn't even touch how adveritising is the death of art in general. Queer topics, any kind of interesting art, any kind of sex or substance use topics are scrubbed clean and hidden at the behest of advertisers.
Sex education, a nude statue, topics such as racism or sexism or bigotry in general have tags purged or hidden from search, even life saving information about SDTs or drug use, because if someone saw that and complained then Verizon might sell fewer tablets and we can't fucking have that.
Conservative talking heads often bitch and moan that they're being censored on social media. The stupid part is, they're right! They are being censored! But it's not by a woke mob, it's by ATT and Coca Cola not wanting their adspace sharing screen time with their stupid fucking opinions.
However, they won't ever figure that out, because the talking heads they get their marching orders from like Tucker and Jones ALSO rely on the sweet milk flowing from the sponsorship teat and they aren't about to turn on their meal ticket so they have to come up with even stupider shit to say for the train to continue rolling.
I managed to rant this far without even getting into the ads I see for the beauty industry. The other day a botox ad described wrinkles as "moderate to severe crows feet" as if wrinkles are a symptom of a fucking serious disease! Like having a flaw in your skin is a medical problem that you need thousands of dollars of literal botulism toxin to fix! I was incandescent with anger.
Advertising is a polluting, censoring, anti educational and anti art industry at it's very core. It destroys human connections, suppresses human thought and makes us hate our own bodies. It ads no value, actively detracts from value, and serves no real purpose and I believe it should be almost if not entirely banned.

‘SNL 1975’ Finds Its Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase And John Belushi
By Justin Kroll, Anthony D'Alessandro
January 30, 2024 10:00am
Lamorne Morris playing Garrett Morris, Dylan O’Brien playing Dan Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith playing Chevy Chase and Matt Wood playing John Belushi
EXCLUSIVE: Lamorne Morris, Dylan O’Brien, Cory Michael Smith and Matt Wood have joined the cast of Sony Pictures’ SNL 1975 that will be directed by Jason Reitman and based on the real-life behind the scenes accounts of the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Morris will play Garrett Morris, O’Brien will play Dan Aykroyd, Smith will play Chevy Chase, and Wood will play Belushi. The original screenplay is written by Reitman and Gil Kenan.
On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. SNL 1975 is the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of NBC’s SNL. It depicts the chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real time to the infamous words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
The screenplay is based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the living cast members, writers and crew. Reitman, Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills and Peter Rice are producing.
Morris can currently be seen in FX’s fifth season of Noah Hawley’s hit drama series Fargo as North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr. He joined the cast of Netflix’s Unstable for season two opposite Rob Lowe. Prior to this, he starred as the titular lead in the hybrid live-action/animated Hulu series Woke, inspired by the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight.
O’Brien was most recently starring in Ponyboi, which premiered as one of ten films in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Up next, he will be seen in the feature films Caddo Lake, from the writing-directing team of Logan George and Celine Held and producer M. Night Shyamalan, and Anniversary, a thriller co-starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch and Phoebe Dynevor. His other credits include Searchlight feature Not Okay from writer-director Quinn Shephard, the critically-acclaimed crime drama The Outfit, opposite Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, and Johnny Flynn; Paramount’s Love and Monsters and the popular Maze Runner franchise
Best known for his role on as the Riddler on the popular Fox series Gotham, Smith can currently be seen as Julianne Moore’s son in Todd Haynes’ May December. He most recently starred as Varian Fry in Anna Winger’s limited series Transatlantic opposite Gillian Jacobs and Corey Stoll for Netflix. Smith has also worked with Todd Haynes in both Carol (as private investigator Tommy Tucker) and Wonderstruck.
Wood has appeared in the original Broadway cast of Spongebob Squarepants and as husky kid icon Augustus Gloop in the Broadway First National Tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Television credits include Law and Order: SVU, Instinct and Difficult People.
Morris is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, The Lede Company, and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light. O’Brien is repped by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Principal Entertainment LA, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Smith is repped by Circle of Confusion. Wood is repped by BRS/Gage Talent Agency.

ZODIAC: Pisces
ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good
THEME SONG: Work Song by Hozier
DESCRIPTION: Dakota is gentle and loving. He is hardworking and determined but so grounded in his own reality that he’s allowed himself to come to terms with his life. While his father used idle hands to play god, to abuse his power over his flock, Dakota has always used his to problem solve. Firm but tender, calloused by always masked by the faint smell of motor oil, orange soap and the strongest lotion, he’s someone you can lean on and trust your secrets with. But Dakota tends to be passive, not liking to cause a commotion or rock the boat. Often caught in a state of analysis paralysis he usually ends up standing by idle when change needs to be made, and therefore doesn’t give his input. This has also lead his fight or flight response to be permanently stalled, the consequence being he often puts his life and well being at risk, the well being of others at risk, without meaning to. Well intentioned ignorance is still ignorance and he can try to right his wrongs all he wants, it won’t do any good until he actually changes these passive behaviors.
BACKGROUND
Born in Louisiana, crossed the state border when his father uprooted the family to move to Babylon in his teens. His father was a pastor, a very devout member to the church and when a fellow member said Babylon needed more pastors, he took the opportunity. Besides, he figured the move would cure his wife of her ailments.
Dakota's mother would suffer from what she called visions, seeing people that weren't there, hearing things that weren't there. She once hid Dakota in the basement for days because she was convinced there was evil in the house. His father chalked it up to the crazy locals, all the folkore had gone to her head. Dakota believed her, because, well, he could feel them too. He could see them.
Exorcism after exorcism, prayer after prayer, nothing would make Pastor Sage's wife better and Dakota finally convinced his father to send her upstate for mental help. The night before Dakota was supposed to drive her, she wandered off into the lake and they never saw her again. That's to say, the town and his father never saw her again, Dakota sees her all the time.
Though he debated leaving to escape the rumor mill, Dakota stayed because as stated he isn't exactly the brightest bulb when it comes to academics, but he is very good with his hands and the town needed a few good mechanics.
Dakota actually developed his love of working with his hands at a young age, helping his father fix things around the house, and then when his mother introduced him to the arts. Maybe he wasn't the best in school, but he definitely had a few tricks up his sleeve.
He hears the superstitions and growing up in the Bayou's he heeds all the warnings. He figures, even if there's nothing actually there, it's better safe than sorry. Though he is known to start praying when he sees a ghost that looks particularly angry.
Dakota can often be found tinkering in the shop after hours, though he also likes to go out and grab a beer with the few co workers he has or the locals he's made friends with over the years.
Despite a lot of people he's met that have filtered in and out of the town, he actually really enjoys the simple life. It's afforded him the ability to travel, having taken time to go to the West and East Coasts, even plan his first trip abroad to go back packing around Europe to see all the castles and different architecture.

Busy Pursuing Happiness in North Dakota
By Anders Tornsø Jørgensen
As part of my recent trip out West, I visited a lot of national parks, which I found quite fascinating. One of the founding fathers in the American nature conservation movement was President Theodore Roosevelt, and he was deeply influenced by his experiences with hunting and ranching in what would later be North Dakota. In order to pay my respect for this great president, I decided to visit North Dakota, but also to explore a state which has, and is still, deeply impacted by both Scandinavian and German immigrants. Often described as America’s least visited state, my trip to North Dakota was actually one of my most interesting experiences in the United States.
My North Dakota adventure started with a visit to Bismarck, the state’s capital. The name is by no chance random. It was named after Otto von Bismarck in order to attract German immigrants, and tickets could be bought Bremen-to-Bismarck direct back in the day.
Along with a lot of other Midwestern states, North Dakota was actually a chief beacon of progressivism in the United States. The fascinating political history of North Dakota is closely intertwined with the history of the Non-Partisan League, which had its origins in the Socialist Party of North Dakota, and was formed to protect farmers against financial institutions and big business in Minneapolis and Chicago.
This peculiar protest movement was established in 1915, and quickly found roots and life in the Midwestern soil, spreading to neighboring states. Born as a movement of agrarian protest, the Non-Partisan League led to the creation of the nation’s only state-owned bank and state-owned milling facility, both still going strong today and remains very popular among North Dakotans. North Dakota Mill and Elevator is still the largest flour mill in the U.S and most of its profits go into the state’s general fund, while the Bank of North Dakota is still the nation’s only state-owned bank with a mission of prioritizing public access over profit.
The movement also led to the establishment of a highly developed system of farm insurances, anti-corporate laws, graduated income tax, and workmen's compensation. In many ways, it was a precursor of the New Deal, which came along a quarter of a century later. Inner splintering and the fact that it later became irrelevant due to the New Deal meant that the movement lost its influence, just to mention two important reasons of its decline. And the rest is history, I guess.
Anyway, my mission was to visit the state capital building, a 21-story Art Deco tower in Bismarck, where I started my North Dakota journey. Surrounded by green areas and North Dakota monuments, the beautiful North Dakota State Capital is designed with respect for the prairie. I was greeted by a tour guide with a Scandinavian surname, and she told me passionately about the building’s details, such as how the chandeliers inside represents heads of wheat, and how the bronze elevators depict farmers and workers. Built in the 1930s after a fire burned down the old one, the architects decided to construct a tower-style capitol instead of a dome, which is more dominant among U.S. state capitols. However, towers are way more efficient when it comes to space. Only three other state capitols are tower-styled: Florida, Louisiana, and Nebraska. Among capital aficionados, tower-styled capitols are still pretty controversial and they generate a lot of debate on various web forums. I am not sure which camp I belong to – I guess I just love the art deco architecture, which the North Dakota State Capitol is a very fine example of. The building also features a long hall with Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award recipients, which is the highest award given to those who have influenced the state – a reflection of Roosevelt’s impact of the state.
We’ll stay with Roosevelt for a little longer. After a magnificent tour of the state capital, I went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the only national park named after a person. You may also remember him from “Night at the Museum,” where Robin Williams plays a wax model of him.
Roosevelt first visited the Dakota Territory in 1883 at the age of 24, but returned a year later when the tragic loss of his wife and mother on Valentine’s Day drove him back into the lonely wilderness. Here he felt that he could mourn his tremendous loss. The area had a profound effect on his life and gave him inspiration. “I never would have been President if it had not been for my experience in North Dakota,” Roosevelt later stated.
The national park is split into three separate areas of the Little Missouri Badlands. The North Unit, the South Unit, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit, which preserves the remains of Roosevelt’s home ranch.
I started with a drive around the South Unit’s scenic drive, where I did some hiking and enjoyed the beautiful buffalos roaming around. I also saw these impressive creatures in Yellowstone National Park, and they’re becoming my all-time favorite animal here in the United States. A park ranger told me that that buffalos roughly spends 9-11 hours a day foraging for grasses, weeds, and leafy plants. They may appear slow because of their movements, but can actually easily outrun humans, and will attack if provoked, so you better respect these magnificent creatures.
After spending time in the South Unit, I drove about an hour to get to the North Unit, which is my personal favorite part of the park. The North Unit is only about half the size of the South Unit and many people often decides to skip it, but I found it way more interesting. The coolest part was the cannonball concretions, which can easily be accessed in the North Unit. These unusual geologic formations truly look like something from another planet. Also, a hike around the River Bend Overlook offers views of the badlands – views that made me feel so wonderfully small.
Next stop was Minot, which is the home to Norsk Høstfest, North America's largest Scandinavian festival. Allegedly, 40% of Minot’s population is of Scandinavian heritage. It’s a heritage the city keeps alive at the Scandinavian Heritage Park. The park is jam-packed with slices of Scandinavian culture by having different remembrances and replicas from each of the Scandinavian countries, such as a Dala horse, a stave church replica, a sauna, a windmill, Leif Erikson, and of course H.C. Andersen, just to mention a few. The Gol Stave Church made a big impression on me. It’s a full-size replica of the original Norwegian church, which has been dendrochronologically dated to been built around 1157-1216, but the replica sure felt as real as the real deal. Minot is also home to Charlie's Main Street Cafe, a family-owned restaurant, who serves some of the greatest breakfast in the city, but also the best cinnamon roll I ever had - and they even add bacon and ice-cream to it, giving it a sweet and savory flavor.
As a big fan of the 1996 film, and the newer TV series, named “Fargo,” no trip to North Dakota was complete without a visit to Fargo, the state’s biggest city, where nearly a fifth of the state's population lives. However, most of “Fargo” doesn't actually occur in the city.
Driving to Fargo from Minot lead me to a lot of interesting stops, such as the city of Rugby, the geographic center of North America, and Jamestown, home to the world largest buffalo statue. And for mile after mile, I passed a lot of sunflowers, which is no coincidence, as North Dakota is a leading producer of sunflowers. Also, I saw a lot of fracking facilities and oil pumpjacks. Actually, the North Dakota is the second largest oil producer in the nation.
Travelling the United States in a car is a very new method of travelling for me. Most of my experience with travelling in the United States is closely associated with Amtrak, and a few Greyhound rides. During the beginning of 2021, with borders open again, I decided to finally do an Amtrak Coast-to-Coast and Border-to-Border trip, an experience that had been on my bucket list for several years. The car gives way more freedom than riding the train, whereas Amtrak provides with you some of the finest view of the land, that is simply inaccessible for cars. Furthermore, Amtrak provides a climate-friendly way to travel. With Amtrak you can sleep while crossing vast distances of land, whereas that’s pretty impossible in a car, of course until self-driving cars becomes the norm. Both ways are great, but they just give a different experience of the United States and I recommend trying both. With that being said, I am really grateful for the Museum of Danish America providing me with an intern car.
Back to my North Dakota journey! I made my way to Fargo, which is located next to Moorhead, Minnesota. The area is often called Fargo-Moorhead, and is divided by Red River of the North. With bridges and streets connecting the two cities, it feels like one big city, but is actually divided between two different states.
The highlight of my visit to Fargo-Moorhead was the Hjemkomst Center, which is home to a Viking ship named the Hjemkomst, meaning homecoming in Norwegian. The Hjemkomst is a full-scale replica of the Gokstad Viking ship, which was discovered and excavated from the shores of the Oslofjord in 1880. Another replica of the Gokstad, named the Viking, crossed the Atlantic and sailed to the United States for the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition in Chicago, all the way from Bergen, Norway under the leadership of Captain Magnus Andersen.
Back then it sparked a conversation about Scandinavian-American identity. At the time, many Scandinavian immigrants were heavily devoted to the idea that the Vikings were the original European explores of the continent – a claim based on Icelandic sagas, who told the story of how Leif Erikson led an expedition to North America in 1000. It was part of the Scandinavian-American community’s efforts to credit their ancestors, instead of Christopher Columbus, with the ‘discovery’ of the Americas. Of course, both groups overlooked the fact that the Americas was home to Native Americans long before 1492 or 1000.
Anyway, fast forward to 1971, where Robert Asp, a guidance counselor at Moorhead Junior High School, broke his leg. While recovering, Robert read a book about Viking ships. Wanting to reconnect with his Norwegian heritage, Robert began to develop a dream of building a Viking ship, sailing it through the Great Lakes, across the Atlantic to Bergen, Norway – inspired by what Magnus Andersen did with the Viking in 1893.
Unfortunately, Asp was diagnosed with leukemia in 1974. However, he continued to work toward his dream. Six years later the ship was finished. After a short maiden voyage, Robert died. It was decided that the ship would still sail to Norway in order to fulfill his dream and respect his memory. And finally, in the summer of 1982, a crew of 12 sailed the Hjemkomst from Duluth, Minnesota, to Bergen, Norway, with a final destination in Norwegian capital of Oslo. Upon arrival in Norway, the crew were greeted by the King of Norway and President Ronald Reagan gave them a call. Later, the ship was transported back to the United States and found its permanent home in Moorhead, Minnesota, where you can visit it should you ever find yourself in the area.
The Hjemkomst Center is also home to Hopperstad Stave Church, another replica of a Norwegian stave church built in the 11th century. Many stave churches were built on wood foundations, where they disintegrated into the ground, a guide told me. The Norwegians, however, built many stave churches on stone foundation, which is why Norway is still home to most stave churches in the world.
Having explored so much Scandinavian-American culture on my trip, I wanted to end my visit with a uniquely American meal. I went to Sickie’s Burger Garage in Fargo, where I ordered a glazed donut burger filled with bacon, cheddar and a big juicy patty. Well, ain’t that America?

The thing I love about being both Certified South Dakota Trailer Trash and a Certified Heller is that it makes Bobby Singer and Jodi Mills Hilarious. Supernatural paints them as rural hillbilly types like esp Bobby. The town knows him as the Drunk and he wears Those Hats.
Baby doll, they’re from Sioux Falls. They’re as city as it gets. They probably vote blue. Which in SD is CITY SLICKER. When did they get stuck behind a tractor?? They can drive their ass to a Barnes and noble. There’s a liberal arts college in town.
Bobby Singer never had to drive an hour to go to Walmart. When did he ever go to church Bc that’s just the place that you go. Can’t go to school with a rifle in the backseat, can’t ride a snowmobile to the store, can’t drive a golf cart to the gas station bc you got too many DUIs. That’s SD culture babey
#supernatural#Bobby Singer#South Dakota#looooooook looook they’re not really in Sioux Falls#they’re in Literally Any Other Town#I’m just saying#Dean Winchester is South Dakota Civilized#oh you have a trunk full of guns???#who tf doesn’t

My sides!
So whilst I wait for my motivation to pick back up for the Demigod au, I'll give you something that I've done already. Concept art for my sides! I only have the picrews for now, but I'm working on art for all of them. And boy is there a lot. As I discover new things about myself, I've uped it to about 8.
First, the sides you know from the actual sanders sides.
This is Remi, my anxiety. They use They/Them pronouns.
I've been getting to know Remi a lot since I found out I had them. They represent the Anxiety that I can recognise and prevent. They work with me.
This is my creativity, and their name is Max. They use They/Them and Xe/Xim. pronouns.
Max is just your run of the mill Creativity, but if you call them dramatic they will take offence and possibly cry.
📷
This is my "morality", Chrystian. They use They/Them pronouns.
I put morality in quotes because they aren't really morality. I think they might be a part of anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, or something. But for a long time, they masqueraded as my morality. In truth, my morality isn't a side. They're more of a subconscious thing and they don't need a physical representation. But this side does.
They present lies as fact. So yeah, they may be a part of deceit, but I mainly use them for "Lying to others" instead of lying to myself.
Mainly though, I just needed a representation for someone who said things like: "You're a bad person" Or, "You're so stupid."
I've learned that I can't reason with them. I have to say, "That isn't true, and you know it," and try to move on.
Remi, my anxiety, is more of questioning. I can reason with them and even change their mind. They'll ask things like: "Oh my gosh what if they didn't like us?" Or, "What if you're a bad person?" And I can assure them that things are alright.
I can't do that with Chrystian.
📷
Then we've got Sam, who is my logic and uses They/Them and Fae/Faer pronouns.
Their personality is the most like Pattons. Fae gets very exited about new things I learn about myself, and makes it faer mission to know everything about my latest hyperfixation. Fae has started working closley with Max with projects, and has started to hang out with Remi, Dee, and Austin to help work me through my problems in the most logical ways possible.
📷
This is Ava, my Deceit, and they use They/Them and Fae/Faer pronouns.
Ava works diligently to lie to others, covering up mistakes, coming up with split-second lies when I panic even if they aren't necessary. Their favorite lie is saying "Yes" When I'm asked if I'm okay, or "No," When asked if I need anything.
Currently, Ava and Dee work very closely, and Ava will come up with nonsense to spurt up to days in advance.
But I'm working on it, and hopefully, Ava will become less a part of my life soon.
Alright! Now moving on to sides that aren't based off original characters! They're listed by time they were discovered.
This is Dakota or Dee Dee. They use They/them, Fae/Faer, and Xe/Xim pronouns, depending on how I'm feeling.
Dakota is kind of an all-purpose OC, but Fae originated here. They're rambunctious, wild, sensitive, and an all-around awesome side.
But Fae's gone through a lot.
Before I knew about my Anxiety, ADHD, or Autism, I kind of lumped them all together and labeled them, "Things that are wrong with me."
I know that isn't true now, and a few years ago they went through an alteration. This isn't like DID or anything, just me changing how I view certain aspects of myself and how that reflects on the characters I've made up. Anxiety and ADHD are two different things now.
But very recently, I found out I have Autism, and Dee changed again. Now, the two are like Remus and roman and are twins. Anxiety is not related to them because they're categorized differently and it doesn't work for the dynamic.
So anyway, once again Xe has been left to pick up the pieces, Creating xier own Identity, and seeing which parts were them, and which were Autism.
Their stims are shaking xier hands, chewing, and bouncing.
📷
This is gender identity and dysphoria, who's name is JD.
They look kinda evil, but they're really not. Just cryptic and confusing. Their color scheme is the nonbinary flag, (Black white yellow and purple, and it symbolizes how gender isn't black and white. (Cause those are the main colors)
I edited it myself on a crappy art thingy so don't mind it.
📷
This is my Autism! I just found out about them recently, so I haven't decided on a name, but for now I'm just using Austin.
They use He/Him and They/Them pronouns. (They identify as agender, they just like those pronouns.)
I don't really know much about them. He's usually nonverbal, and when he's stressed his hair starts growing which is a sensory no-no for them.
He loves his sibling and is pretty tolerant with Sara studying them to figure out how they work.
Their stims are chewing, vocal, and texture.

48 hours in. . . Toronto, an insider guide to Canada's spirited first city
Canada's multicultural fusion
Canada's biggest city, the 4th biggest in North America, is regularly rated among the most effective areas to live in the world. Investing also a few days here makes it very easy to see why. Cosmopolitan and also cultured, fun as well as fun-loving, with an icing of unpredictability simply to make points fascinating, Toronto takes pride in being the dynamic, innovative and also risk-free amount of all its components.
The city's roots show in myriad ways, with greater than 200 cultures stood for on the streets. (The truth that there are 3 Chinatowns as well as 2 Little Italys speaks volumes.) This is among the reasons the cooking scene is such a big deal-- there are much more ingredients in the pantry to pull from. With four first-rate sporting activities teams, a spirited arts scene and a vibrant beachfront with its very own flight terminal, Toronto makes both a gratifying end destination and an excellent pitstop.
Warm right now ...
Doug Wallace, our citizen specialist, supplies his top tips on the best things to do and also puts to eat and drink this period.
Consume
Canada's initial Eataly (55 Bloor St. W.; 00 1 437 374 0250) has opened up in the ManuLife Centre to much excitement and also more than a couple of crowds. Spanning 50,000 square feet over 3 levels, the Italian marketplace brings the preference of Italy home to Yorkville's Mink Mile. Locate takeaway counters, dining establishments, regional as well as Italian components, food preparation courses as well as more.
- The best dining establishments in Toronto
Do
Not just does Resort X Toronto (111 Princes' Blvd., 4th flooring; 00 1 647 943 9300) have a gigantic 90,000-square-foot gym with 4 interior tennis courts and also 9 squash courts, but it now likewise has Canada's first Guerlain Day spa. Get pampered via customised body therapies and facials in 10 areas, plus pre- and post-stay lounges with views of the lake.
- The very best things to do in Toronto
Drink
Don't let the false front of Vatican Gift Store (1047 Gerrard St. E.; 00 1 416 462 2682) mislead you: the makeshift gift store opens speakeasy-style to expose a low-lit Gothic secluded administering European and regional brews, clever (as well as solid) mixed drinks as well as thin-crust, hand-tossed Neopolitan pizzas. Stock up on votive candles on your way out.
- The most effective night life in Toronto
48 hours in ... Toronto

Your 2nd quit of the day is nearby: Ripley's Fish tank of Canada (288 Bremner Blvd; 00 1 647 351 3474) opens at 9am, which is when the displays will be the least crowded. After having a look at the jellyfish wall surface and seeing stingrays skyrocket over your head in the undersea gallery, function your means over to the Hockey Hall of Popularity (30 Yonge St; 00 1 416 360 7765) to look into the interactive video games as well as well-known souvenirs.
MID-DAY
There's absolutely nothing even more Canadian than a peameal bacon sandwich (a kind of unsmoked back bacon). Discover one for lunch at Carousel Bakery, right near the front door in the St. Lawrence Market (93 Front St. E.; 00 1 416 392 7219). If bacon is not your thing, head to the reduced level to consider greater than a dozen hot-food stalls. The marketplace has been a culinary hub of the city given that 1803, which in Canada-years resembles 2 centuries.
After that, a 10-minute stroll south to the water's side will land your toes in the sand at the synthetic Sugar Coastline (Lower Jarvis St. and Queen's Quay E). Sit under the cotton-candy pink umbrellas and also enjoy the tankers get here in the harbour prior to continuing to the historic Distillery Area (55 Mill St.).

SOMA is the most effective bean-to-bar chocolatier in the area.

Pre-cocktails, take a little stroll via Yorkville Area (Cumberland Ave. at Bellair St.), in search of stars shopping or ordering cappucinos in their baseball caps and sunglasses. Duck into either The Oxley (121 Yorkville Ave.; 00 1 647 348 1300) for pints on the (much quieter) 2nd flooring or opt for martinis at d|bar in the Four Seasons (60 Yorkville Ave.; 00 1 416 964 0411).
Supper reservations tonight are at Constantine (15 Charles. St. E.; 00 1 647 475 4436), a little piece of Italian-Mediterranean paradise in the back of Anndore Home. Just move up front to the cocktail bar for a nightcap or stroll a brief block east to the Gay Town for a drag show at Woody's (467 Church St.; 00 1 416 972 0887).

Day 2
MORNING
The most effective time to get your photo taken in the "O" of the Toronto indicator at City Hall (100 Queen St. W. at Bay St.) remains in the morning prior to any individual else is around. Get a quick chai latte initially at Bannock (401 Bay St.; 00 1 416 861 6996).
Post photoshoot, it's a 15-minute walk to a healthy breakfast at Karine's (109 McCaul St.; 00 1 416 591 0863), a little food court serving morning meal staples with a side of Center Eastern, along with vegan and gluten-free, treats. Satisfied, you can then do a deep-dive right into the long-term collection (or exploring exhibits) nearby at the age-old Art Gallery of Ontario (317 Dundas St. W.; 00 1 416 979 6648).
AFTERNOON
On via Chinatown currently to the bohemian neighbourhood of Kensington Market (Kensington Ave. as well as Dundas. St. W.) to take a look at its indie society, vintage garments shops as well as art rooms. While you're there, put into a piled-high hamburger at Ozzy's Hamburgers (66 1/2 Nassau St.; 00 1 416 862 7983)-- have the Mustang Sally.
Stroll it off by heading back down to Queen St. W. and also shopping your means westward-- both sides of the street, mind you-- completely to Trinity Bellwoods Park (790 Queen St. W. at Strachan Ave.). Must-stops in the process must consist of: Frank as well as Oak for men's and also ladies's clothing and also possibly a quick haircut (735 Queen St. W.; 00 1 647 930 8711), Zane for the developer jewelry and desirable bags (753 Queen St. W.; 00 1 647 352 9263) and the shoe heaven that is Heel Kid (773 Queen St. W.; 00 1 416 362 4335).
LATE
Supper is also westward this evening, but first, choose of fresh margaritas or tequila shots at Reposado (136 Ossington St.; 00 1 416 532 6474) or a couple of Rust and also Bone cocktails at The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen St. W.; 00 1 416 531 5042), whose bartenders virtually created the craft mixed drink scene in Toronto
Then for a little taste of Argentina at Tanto (74 Ossington Ave.; 00 1 416 546 3022). Fill out on the innovative little plates-- such as the spicy beef empanada with paprika aioli or smoked squid covered with pancetta as well as scorched almond salsa-- then just share one primary.
Later, take your pick of the area's live songs areas: a burlesque program at the saucy Painted Lady (218 Ossington Ave.), classic blues or people at The Dakota Pub (249 Ossington Ave.; 00 1 416 850 4579) or an indie band at The Fort (1197 Dundas St. W.; 00 1 416 519 9439).

IN THIS HOUSE WE LOVE AND SUPPORT FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN TEENAGE GIRLS IN YA FICTION
WE RECOGNIZE THAT TEENAGE GIRLS ARE COMPLEX AND DIVERSE PEOPLE
Sorry for yelling, maybe I just haven’t been reading the right YA fiction but. I just wanted all the girls to be friends. No cliques. No rumor mill. No nastiness. Just having sleepovers and helping each other with projects and taking care of one another.
This excerpt mostly lays the groundwork for the rest of the novel, but I love these doofs and I love how much they love Kandi.
cw: food
“Thanks for coming over to help.” You plop your backpack on the table and unzip it as everyone else gets themselves situated, and you pull out your notebook of files and papers. Drop it on the table with a gentle thud, then pull out a container of cookies that you drop in the middle of the table. Christie and Dakota descend on them like a couple of hungry hyenas on an injured zebra, and you grin.
Two of the most popular girls in school, and they fall apart over your cookies.
“Oh my God, Kandi, these are so good,” Dakota mumbles around a mouthful. A string of marshmallow escapes the middle of the cookie and she wraps it around her finger and pops it in her mouth. “I could live on these.”
“And me!” Christie laughs. She finishes hers off and wipes her hands on her pants before grabbing another.
“You should try them warm,” you say.
Dakota and Christie share a glance, and Dakota grabs the box and heads for the microwave. Mariam laughs like a bright, silver bell and wipes tears away form her eyes. You lean closer and whisper, like it’s a conspiracy, “And the marshmallows are Kosher!”
Mariam grins and grabs the cookie on the napkin in front of you, breaks it in half, and stuffs the half in her mouth.
“And well, while she’s doing that, let’s get organized,” Christie says. Her long, not quite brown and not quite blonde hair falls out of its messy bun into her eyes and she tries to blow it away, unsuccessfully. Mariam chuckles and pins it back with an extra hair clip.
Christie smiles and looks back at her notebook. “You want to do something that’s related somehow, that’s going to make enough money to be worth it, and isn’t very expensive and doesn’t require too many people to do. Like for the art show last year, the art club sold colored pencils sets. Like that.”
“You guys,” Mariam says. “We’re all idiots.”
You and Christie look up and Dakota pauses on her way back from the kitchen.
“What?” you ask.
“A bake sale! Duh! It’s obvious!”
“Oh my God,” you mumble. You bury your face in your hands as your shoulders shake with laughter. “I can’t believe we didn’t think of that already. First thing!”
“Bake sale!” Dakota throws her hands up in the air and wiggles her hips in a happy little dance. “Bake sale, bake sale, brownies for Dakota!”
“We should invite all the schools sending people to the event!” Christie says. She grabs your notebook and starts flipping through for the list.
“Should we do one big event, or, like, have each school organize their own?” Mariam asks. Dakota plops down in the chair across the table and puts the cookies back in the middle, and everyone looks at you.
“I think both,” you finally say. “Maybe have one or two a week, at each different school, and then one big one all together at someone’s church or something.”
“Church?” Mariam wrinkles her nose. You reach across Christie and gently nudge Mariam’s wrist.
“Or synagogue or mosque or community center. Whatever! Just somewhere with a lot of space, you know? Even a school cafeteria.”
Dakota takes a bite from her first warm cookie. Her eyes roll back in her head and she covers her mouth.
“Oh my God,” she mumbles. “You’re right. Being warm makes all the difference.” She swallows and looks over at Christie. “Make sure we can have a microwave, wherever we are.”
Christie nods, already jotting down ideas for places we can call.
“We’ll have to see if we need some kind of license,” she says. “I’ve only been here a year and…” She frowns and huffs and says, “And my English isn’t great, so one of you will do that.”
Dakota salutes and stuffs the last of her cookie in her mouth. “Really, though, Christie, you’re way too hard on yourself. You speak English better than a lot of kids at our school. The ones who were born here.”
Christie huffs again, putting an end to the discussion, and looks over at Mariam. Mariam leans over and kisses her nose before Christie can say anything, and her smile comes back. “You’ll be the advertiser,” she says. “You can design posters and ads and get permission to put them around school. Does the school have an events page on Facebook or anything?”
Mariam puts a delicate hand in front of her mouth and finishes chewing. She nods.
“Maybe look into putting up posts,” Christie says.
“The committee can help you get it approved,” you offer. “I’ll get Mikey on it right away. He’s handling that part, so he can help you.”
Mariam gives you a thumbs up and finally swallows the hunk of cookie in her mouth.
Then Christie points at you. “Kandi,” she says. “I know you have a lot with the committee, but maybe you can handle signups for our school sale, and write an outline for other schools who want? That way we don’t have… thirty plates of brownies and no cookies or something.”
“On it.” You pull out your phone and type in a reminder to look up outlines when you get home tomorrow. Something simple and straightforward, like the person’s name and what they want to bring, with a max of three of one thing, in case someone wants to bring a vegan or gluten-free option. Things like cupcakes and cookies you can have more on, because there are so many kinds, but you don’t want eight chocolate chip cookies and an orange scone.
“We’ll want tags for people to write out ingredients in case of allergies,” you say.
“I can do that,” Mariam says. “Simple. I can probably whip something up in about thirty minutes. Do you want colored or white paper?”
“Ooh,” Christie says. “We could --”
“We could have different colors for vegan and gluten-free things, so people can tell at a glance!” I add.
“Yes!” Christie laughs. “That was what I was going to say before you rudely interrupted me.”
You flush bright red and smile sheepishly. “Sorry.”
She just grins at you and rolls her eyes, then goes back to her list. “Vegan is when there’s no eggs and milk, right?”
“Or honey, yeah,” Mariam says, reaching for another cookie. “No animal products.”
Christie nods. “Okay. Then how about green? That should be obvious. Then we can do pink for gluten-free and yellow for nut-free? I know that might sound like a lot but we can put a guide on each table and at the entrance.”
“And we can use white for just regular whatever,” you finish.
“Done,” Mariam says. She taps a few things into her phone, then puts it down on the table so she can fix her ponytail. You’ve always loved her hair, so shiny and curly, but you’ve never been jealous -- you’ve seen her deal with it in the morning before, and you would not have the patience for that.
“Mom?” she calls from around the hair tie in her mouth.
“Yes, sweetie?” her mom calls back, from the other side of the house.
“Is it okay if we put on some music?”
“As long as it’s not too loud!”
“Awesome.” Mariam finishes with her hair and grabs her phone, walking over to plug it into the entertainment center. She fiddles with it for a few moments, then Death Cab For Cutie’s “Marching Bands of Manhattan begins to play through the room, just loud enough to make out a few of the words here and there. She sits back down between you and Christie and you all go back to work.
It’s going to be a long night, but when you’re done? So worth it.
