love-and-words:

“Everyone has sex,” said the incubus.
“I’m a sex demon. I know.”

“You must have the wrong address,”
Scott said with a shrug.

“I don’t have the wrong address,”
the incubus snapped.
“I am attracted to surges of passion.
You must have been doing something
that drew me into your bedroom.”

“I was doing concept sketches,”
Scott said. “Here, look.”

Someone left this post-it on my desk and I don’t think I’ll ever recover.

Call for Autistic Self-Advocates in the Denver/Boulder Area

~ Brin ~ Leave a comment

andromedalogic:

Hello! My name is Meda, I am an autistic self-advocate located in Boulder, CO, and I am looking to start a chapter of ASAN in my area. ASAN is the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a disability rights organization, and you can read more about them here.

There are many ASAN chapters across the country but none in Colorado. I just got back from a leadership program run by ASAN, and they urged me to start a chapter here.

PEOPLE I AM LOOKING FOR: All you have to do is be autistic, or an autistic cousin. It’s fine if you have no formal ‘advocacy’ experience. I myself have literally a week of training.

NT allies are welcome. You cannot hold leadership positions in ASAN, but there are many jobs you can do for us, especially if you have another disability and/or are active in cross-disability rights.

This post is a preliminary action to see if I can find people near me. If you are autistic and you exist in Colorado, please reblog this and say so, or message me! If you do not fit these criteria, please signal boost.

I hope that we can form an IRL autistic community here and work to change things.

miss-freeman:

I AM SO JEALOUS I WANT TINY LITTLE BUG LANTERNS

 

angelicfallacy:

It’s so weird to read people calling Fireflies, “Lightning Bugs”.

 

arcanelegacy:

Ah, regional differences in language. Lightning Bugs, fireflies… (Google also tells me that they are sometimes called “Moon Bugs”, “Fire Devils”, or, my new personal favorite, “Golden Sparklers”)

I used to have a lantern-shaped bug cage as a child. Many summer evenings I’d go out and see how many I could catch for my lantern-cage, before letting them all go at the end of the hunt. They’re so easy to catch, you know. They fly slowly, and they don’t try to flee from you.

Damn, I miss fireflies.
