There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake!
This is what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people…
FYI, this refers to Hu et al (2021). Right Temporoparietal Junction Underlies Avoidance of Moral Transgression in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Journal of Neuroscience, 24 February 2021, 41 (8) 1699-1715; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1237-20.2020
ive gotten so much mileage out of this tweet. every time i see something on the internet that makes me mad i just think to myself "people in real life: hey man how's it going" and i keep it pushing
@bonos-grindcore-sideproject This is so good
“My poor baby. My poor sweet little boy,” I lament out loud over a whole grown adult man who is not mine but is in fact a fictional character with fictional hurts. What matters is my feelings are real
okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.
twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.
i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.
so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.
I've known that since the first day I worked with him. Of course you want to hang out with Eddie. (eddie's version)
He's harmless. Mostly. (buck's version)
iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.
i genuinely think boats are such good places to set a story because it automatically gives you a set of really interesting circumstances -- boats are transitory, you are not meant to stay on them forever, there is an automatic assumption of ending up somewhere different from where you started...characters are forced into close proximity, stakes are higher, etc. boats also just look cool, so that's always a plus

Omg.. okay I follow a bunch of channels that are made by people who do free cleaning for people in really dire hoarding/damaged house circumstances mostly older disabled people and the free cleanings are often recorded to show how to take care of extremely bad damage to houses yourself, anyway one of them recently had to put out a statement where she said the GREAT MAJORITY of requests for CHARITY CLEANING she gets was fucking LANDLORDS!!!!!! Particularly those that recently had someone move out and want free cleaning before marketing again. And she basically made a big statement politely stating she’ll never do a cleaning for a landlord and they need to stop asking. Ngl that’s some crazy composure if I was in her position I’d just come over and bulldoze the house
I still can’t get over this. Like these are emergency cleanings meant for disabled people in unlivable conditions and the purpose of recording it is to help people learn how to maintain or repair their own homes in bad circumstances. Can you imagine watching someone who regularly deals with biohazards for free and thinking “yeah it’s appropriate to request they clean the housing im holding hostage before I rent it again”
smoking that shit that makes you cry about the horrors of car-centric infrastructure
hey yeah i get it but youre harshing the vibe rn nobody wants to hear about the irreversible damage that cars have done to North America and the whole world by proxy
