@kistaro Oh, Hah. We're bolt Multiple systems and Remember each other from Several past lives.
she has Five Degrees and I'm a Gearhead. Also wicked Otherkin. Like wouldn't use the Word normally, just Are. Extremely so.
Like, I give the otherkin dragon I live with Pause sometimes.
Anyhow. Mostly just sharing stories of finally breaking down because of all the deja-vu and having to Face that aspect of being an autistic human.
@masklayer I'm Outdoors.
"You're right," the mechanic said, "your battery is draining much faster than normal."
"I knew it!" said the robot.
"Let me check diagnostics... Why is your processor 100% busy?"
"I'm monitoring my battery."
"If you stop that, it will last longer."
"I can't, it might run out."

I take MDMA as a way to finally make those emotional connections and to break through that forced apathetic fog schizo leaves you in. It doesn't help with feeling disorganized and having trouble saying things (in fact sometimes it makes it harder because you're finally feeling the love you've been missing and you want to excitedly tell them everything about--
Oh right. Excitement. Schizophrenia is weird in that it makes you very apathetic all the time.. but then at certain points you will suddenly burst into excitement. Whether you started thinking about something you like, or are near someone you like, or particular vibes or visual moods (all depends on the person), you immediately need to gush and vent and move around..
If you haven't noticed, some of these symptoms overlap with the autism spectrum. The excitability, desire to do repetitive actions, the social awkwardness, talking about oneself, ticks and tremors, agitation; there's more similarities than you think
Disorganized speech, thoughts, emotions; blunted affect, a lack of emotion, inappropriate emotional responses..
Did you know schizophrenia can even cause -hand tremors-? That's right, my hands shake 24/7, all day every day. I don't know if they shake in my sleep but I wouldn't be surprised
Schizophrenia can make you -not enjoy things-. Like, it fucks with your reward system. It can literally make you enjoy things you used to hate, or even make you enjoy things like pain
Schizophrenia also causes a lot of anger and agitation. Certain sounds: buzzing, pencils, markers, certain fabrics; can cause extreme anger and annoyance. Whenever I write with a pencil it hurts so much I literally have to cry. Remember, schools in the USA almost always require that tests be taken with a #2 pencil
Schizophrenia can fuck with your ability to socialize. Some days I'm smooth and fun, and then with some people or on other days I'm so awkward it hurts. It can fuck with your ability to make connections..
@violet I would Love to cross-ref this with My neurodivergence. Reading about things only gives so much of a picture of the condition.
I thought I had scizophrenia for a long time, and it turned out to be the Co-Morbid DID. Went from constant panic attacks and screaming breakdowns to being a Healer for a bunch of my friends who had it on the down-low in around a Year once I knew what was going on.
Went from a Dysfunctional family in here to a Loving one.

I love how our president responds to powerful women.
It's like how Any fraudulent white man responds to a call out: denial, whataboutism, slander, and when all that Whining Fails...
All they have is "Go Away!". Like Everything Else is the problem, not Them.
That Go Away, Go Back sentiment just shows how Weak these men are. That's the reaction of a Scared Child. Someone who has just been Reacting, with no plan or ground to stand on.
gender, sexuality
@maxine yeah, it just ends up being too much work
kink talk, corporate
The only thing that removing kink from the LGBTQ+ community does, is making it exploitable by corporations.
I know not everyone is into every kink and that's good.
Kink as a whole is important though and removing it, just enables corporates to sell their version of LGBTQ+ (meaning an appropriated version for cishets) to be sold to the (cishet) masses.
So keep it kinky and corps out of our culture. Or else we lose what defines us.
@hyratel I'm already walking around in skirts and flower prints, hair long, etc.
Anyone who incites violent reaction to a person expressing themselves should go get themselves Naturally Selected. Anyone who starts shit with Me has me to tangle with, sure...
And about twelve Seconds before either my Wife or my 6'8" dragon friend introduces them to the Concrete.
@fructose_dealer Shit did I say Roland? Sorry, Casio DG-10.
The other synth I owned was a Roland SH-3. Another weird blip in music history. Sold it for three hundo to afford college books
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
