@actuallyautistic A reminder for the New Year for the rest of the #ActuallyAutistic community:

You all are important. Every one of you. Exactly as you are, not as how so much of the world wishes you were (or weren’t).

Happy New Year, everyone!

New year, new #introduction?

Hello, it’s your pal Sonal (she/her) a #SouthAsian #Desi born on the hills of Te Whanganui-a-Tara (#Wellington), #Aotearoa #NZ now living on plains of Kaurna country in #Adelaide, #Australia.

#Film obsessive/tragic, #StarWars nerd, #Fandroid, usually found reading #books, experimenting with #food, or exploring #fashion.

Opinionated. But you are here too so it’s probably the same.

A bit (very) sweary - soz (not really).

This is as much for me as for anyone else.

You did not need to achieve anything in the last year, nor in the year to come.

You do not need to be “productive”, have a vision or a goal to conquer.

You don’t need to reflect on the year that was when it brings you pain or despair - do that in the hands of a trained professional.

You just need to survive which, let’s be honest, is actually fucking hard some days so congratulations for making it so far.

Happy New Year!

Photographer Vadim Trunov managed to photograph the animals at the perfect moment after he laid out food around the camera.. 😍

doodling with watercolors. happy New Year!

Look, I don't care who you marry, what you consentually do with your genitals, or who you do or do not worship.

Just enlighten yourselves by being nice to others and don't judge. Feed and house the homeless, help the poor, welcome refugees, work hard and play harder, and take better care of this planet that I made.

All you humans are in this together, and you only get one shot.

So make each day your best shot.

Your FSM - stay Noodley.

This is a good time to point out that SF used to have many surface creeks that could handle a lot of water without flooding. But we've covered the entire city in impermeable placement and disrupted natural drainage

Islais Creek used to be on the surface all the way from Glen Park to the Bay, but they covered it to build Alemany Boulevard and put it in a culvert.

Bring back Laguna Dolores. Daylight Mission Creek, Islais Creek, Precita Creek, the creek under the Wiggle

Happy New Year

Found photos my dad took of an impromptu signing I did in 1995 at a #comicshop in #HongKong. One of the busiest signings I ever did! My first issue of Detective Comics had just come out and on three or four hours notice, they turned out more than 50 fans!

Can't remember the shop's name. It was on the 2nd floor and they had a lot of cats there.

This trip, this signing, might have been the first time my dad understood that I hadn't fucked up my future by going into comics. (cont.)

Normalize having Lifer bugs. Just because they're often tiny and strange doesn't mean they can't spark joy.
This gorgeous nugget wasp (Perilampus hyalinus) isn't a rare sight necessarily, but, like, just look at her! 💙💜 I had not found one before, and she made my day.

Hey writers! @matt makes the Fediverse blogging app WriteFreely.

He would like your input on building newsletter support into WriteFreely.

What would you like to see? How might WriteFreely help you migrate from Substack to the Fediverse?

I’ve been here in 2023 for about 8 hours, all of which were spent sleeping, so my opinion on the new year so far is: it’s great!
