some birds are very intuitively named. looked up a sparrow going chipchipchip in my yard, it was a chipping sparrow. saw a black bird with red wings, it was a red winged blackbird. gray bird that sounds like a cat? gray catbird. the first time i saw a house finch it was perched on a windowsill. However, some birds are the red-bellied woodpecker
a lot of my autism masking is just making myself more palatable for other people and my therapist said “does spock make himself ‘more palatable’ for others?” and had me promise to keep unmasking like:
1918 house in Daphne, AL is back on the market. If you haven’t seen this little 2bd, 1.5ba before, you will never be prepared for the interior. 1,371sqft, asking $510k. You gotta see this one. And, they altered the listing, b/c it was the interior that is preventing the sale.
Factoid: This style home is called an “airplane cottage” b/c the 2 window part on the roof looks like a cockpit.
what if it does? Time marches on, it’s not gonna spare you. You’ll grow old, you’ll become ugly, you’ll die. And I won’t let you die in a body that isn’t yours just because the world beat you down and made you prioritize the surface level attractions of people who don’t respect you over your own happiness. Take the shot, become ‘ugly’, I’ll still fucking love you, man.
