Wow!
Ok so I was not expecting to cry that much hearing the strings in Mirrorball and Hello You. Honestly every now and then I forget how beautiful the album is and I have to just sit and listen to it. So hearing the live version even through peoples shoddy recordings was so moving, the strings are gorgeous and I wish the band had actually had the bravery to do this sooner. Like the only reason we even have these last few shows is because Alex got sick this summer, they were probably going to end it without ever having played these songs with live strings, which is insane. I love love love this band but sometimes watching them be the worlds biggest contrarians is tiring! Imagine if they’d stuck to their album and played sets with 5 or 6 songs from The Car, imagine if they committed to it. Anyway, I hope the last 3 shows do The Car some justice because the songs really do deserve to be heard with the whole ensemble.

Can we *please* have pride events that are more accessible to autistic people please golly
I lasted maybe 3 hours at pride before melting down, and that was *with sensory accommodations*. We took a break in a sensory space multiple times! I wore ear guards all the time! I wore safe comfy clothes and drank lots of cool water for temp regulation!
but huge huge crowds outside in sticky heat with packed streets and super bass boosted music. which was amplified by my ear guards. everyone was so nice when we talked to them, but I couldn’t talk to anybody because taking off my ear guards hurt too much and I was rapidly losing speech. it was fun shopping at all the art stalls and meeting people, but the stalls were closely crowded and moving between them was difficult.
like. I was the only visibly autistic person there that I saw. and I saw a LOT of people. and there were lots of other things me n my friends wanted to do, that we couldn’t do, because the place was too overwhelming and I melted down.
kinda feels lonely. I didn’t really get to talk to or meet a lot of people.
I wish there were smaller inside events alongside the huge outside ones. like a board game thing or smth. an indoor social. a few inside art stalls. *something*. Even an indoor drag show! There were drag events they were hosting and I couldn’t watch or enjoy them bc the music outside was So Fucking Loud.
there are other issues I had with that event but that’s the main thing. it turned smth I was excited to participate in, into smth I was just quietly miserable about. which kinda sucks. was worth it to go try once, but I don’t think I’d go again.

even though this is swinging a bat at a hornet’s nest this is a safe space. can y’all reblog w your most absurd online interactions. because while driving to work today i remembered that time some random person on twitter yelled at me for not being excited enough over meryl streep being cast in ryan murphy’s adaption of the prom. to be clear: i WAS excited. just like. not visibly enough for this guy.

Rest In Peace Bray Wyatt
One of the greatest wrestlers and story tellers there was.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that he has passed so suddenly after only just coming back to us after so long.
And how much it hurts to see the person who got me to like wrestling be gone so soon. This is truly a horrible turn of events; and I wish that he rests peacefully in the afterlife.
Goodbye The Fiend. Goodbye Bray Wyatt. Goodbye Windham Rotunda. You will be missed💔

sometimes I think about writing and singing music not because I’m an incredible singer but because no one has my fucking voice, especially in popular music, and its disheartening to be born a girl, told you’ll only get girl roles or try to voice match other girls, or ‘sing with the girls’ and then only be able to match male voices because you’re a fuckin tenor and not anything higher. I can’t think of any girl Broadway roles I can hit all the notes on. Most songs I love I have to pitch down for myself or use falsetto for singing along to. It bothers me a lot less now because I’m an adult who’s more secure in myself but as a teen in kids musical theatre it FUCKED with me, BAD style. And I know for a fact that even now when I hear people with a voice like mine singing I get excited and immediately invested in their work because they’re like ME, finally, for once. A brother in this world of being afab and having the voice of a recently pubescent boy forever. Maybe I should be that brother too.

I finally did it!!! I got my box tattoo in honour of one of my all time favourite bands @the1975music 🤍
hearing them play medicine in seattle for the last night of the NA leg of satvb was the push I needed to get my box tattoo (the lines aren’t perfect but it might be bc of the second skin)
but regardless, a week later, I was able to get a tattoo I’ve been waiting to get for almost a decade now
