wolfe but sad @wolfgang@awoo.space

anyway im glad i rewatched this movie cause i really do feel like it influenced a lot of........ things in my life

max struggles to accept his non-masking autistic-adhd dad, but in the end, through both sides listening to the other and communicating clearly, they finally find common ground, and combine each other's special interests to make max gain popularity with his classmates

maybe more like 😏 eyes with 🤪 mouth

i also started noticing that you can embed a lot of non-words in your sentences -- like if someone asks your what a sign means, and it's some physical thing, then you can make a playful version of the "tongue out, jaw to the side" 🤪 face, and pantomime/draw with your fingers in space/use other signs to mimic a hebrew phrase for the thing

also when explaining what NOT to do/say, or when you're suggesting something semi sarastically(???) you need to make the 🤪 face to signal that! i think i should personally practice that one in front of a mirror to avoid possible misunderstandings 🤪🤪🤪

israeli sign (and probably others too) has this....... thing, where sometimes a sentence(?) doesn't quite have a verb and subject and object and all that -- but rather just describes the positions of things in space, using a special set of handshapes that represent different kinds of objects

instead of signing "book my (is)* on table" like you would in a spoken language, you sign "book", then "table", then make a handshape as if you're holding a book (NOT the actual word/sign for "book"! just literally pretend you're PHYSICALLY HOLDING that book), and sort of act out placing your invisible book wherever in space you just signed "table" -- optionally you could also use your off-hand to be the actual table

(* both israeli sign language and spoken/written hebrew don't really use a word like "is" in this case, but english does and this post is in english)

there's no isl word/sign for "cross" as in "physically cross from one side to the other". wanna say how you crossed the road real slow? sign "road" but move your hands along an imaginary road in physical space in front of you. possibly also keep your off-hand/off-arm hanging in space to keep representing that road. then in your main hand make the handshape that looks like your fingers are walking, and move your hand reeeeeaaaal slow over the "road". while you do this physical space theater, make an exhausted face with your tongue out and your jaw slightly to the side

the sign for "traffic" is possibly lexicalized by now, but it is literally just both hands in "car" handshape (i.e not the word/sign for "car", no no -- but rather a flat hand with thumb sticking out so it sorta looks like a car) both hands next to each other moving slowly forward, with the exhausted face described above -- i.e cars next to each other moving real slow

and before anyone brings it up: yes, i am aware of the technical details and that firefox for ios uses a uiwebview ie mobile safari to render pages

but that doesn't change the fact that i'm using firefox and the website is telling me to fix the problem by using firefox..........

AND i also think it's wrong to release a product that's ostensibly supposed to compete with other mainstream websites WITHOUT MAKING SURE IT WORKS ON 1/3 OF ALL SMARTPHONES?????

the video itself doesn't actually work btw. just plays the audio and shows a black rectangle

this IS firefox! telling me to use firefox won't help when you don't support some firefox ports apparently

are you autistic and struggling to figure out which rules are actual rule rules that really matter, and which rules are fake wink wink nudge nudge rules that you can safely ignore?

here's a tip i learned: if a rule would disproportionately harm non white people, disabled people, women, the lgbtqia+ community, refugees, immigrants, and/or other minorities -- then you better bet your ass it's gonna be one of the rules that's actually enforced

i also suspect:

ASL: "right/correct"
Israeli: "harassment"

but the movement might be slightly different between these two? idk

ASL: "work"
Israeli: "complain"

(this is mostly a joke because i do not have the attention span to watch that right now)

wanna practice french but i don't like french movies so i'll just watch ratatouille dubbed to french

maybe someone who's been a really religious jew their entire life could somehow repent for their sins by sacrificing, like, hundreds of sheep and goats? but to everyone else and me included: god hates us and wishes us harm

i honestly don't get it when christians (and even some jews) are all like "god loves you and forgives you uwu"

like,,,, have they read the old testament??? because i did. for eight years as part of school, and as an interest in my free time. so i can safely tell pretty much anyone reading this:

god hates you. like,, REALLY hates you. from the bottom of his heart. and he's also fucking PISSED. and he'll Never Ever forgive you. so y'all better fucking watch yourselves cause there's probably plague and or hungry bears and or a meteor strike coming your way

i'm sorry but as someone who knows a bit of yiddish, the german phrase "brillen-putztuch" is absolutely hilarious to me

i accidentally watched all of There I Ruined It's tiktok videos and now my brain has been replaying popular songs to the wrong melody on repeat inside my head for two days straight

were jews ffs why do we have to use a literal nazi scientists name to describe the concept of "autistic people who can speak"

and like, the guy speaks better than i fucking can (ha ha) and they barely show footage of him, just show his famous sister talking ABOUT him and his childhood

ajfhsoafjajdososo

tv report about "[Famous Singer] Comes Out And Tells The World About Her Brother With Asperger's!"

and they interviewed EVERYONE else before they interview him

and they consistently talk about how terrible it is For The Poor Family

and they constantly talk about "How He Deals With It"

and i wanna fucking scream
