i dont mean to alarm you but the gender binary is not real and everything you’ve been taught about what girls and boys are supposed to do/not supposed to do is a huge lie

The guy next to me in a coffee shop is telling his date ‘You know you girls are all liars. Well, not all, but I’d say 80%. More than half.’

‘Girls think they have power over men by using sex as a bargaining chip and they don’t.‘

Now he’s telling her about a ‘psycho’ date he had who started telling him how ‘patronizing’ he was OUT OF NOWHERE

He’s a musician but he says he couldn’t date any of the ‘sheep’ who come to his gigs.

He’s been talking about himself literally nonstop since I sat down fifteen minutes ago. The scariest thing is the girl is listening actively, leaning forward, and smiling and giggling while I’m mentally screaming ‘Run, girl, run!’

Now he’s talking about gig he did for the troops in Afghanistan and how dangerous it was. ‘I could have been shot by a sniper at any second. But I was making people human. I was keeping them from going crazy. I was playing bass and crowd-surfing on my back. We were treated like ACDC. I had a prejudice about the military but you see the armed forces for what they are. They’re good people.’

He’s finally stopped telling her about the military and has gone back to covering every detail of his career. I still know absolutely nothing about his date.

Now he’s complaining about how bad the dancers were at one of his gigs (‘pathetic, ridiculous’).

Now he’s giving her a detailed history lesson on Greco-Turkish military conflict. I swear I’m not making any of this up.

Summary of the rest of the date:

Guy’s talking continues, relentless. Girl’s responses slowly growing more and more lackluster (unnoticed). Finally Guy gets up to use the bathroom. I casually say to Girl, ‘First date?’ A few seconds later, we’re recapping every obnoxious moment, literally holding onto each other, doubled over and gasping with laughter. ‘He hasn’t stopped talking since I sat down!’ ‘Oh my god, I’m so tired!’ ‘I mean, it’s your choice, but I wouldn’t go on a second date with that guy.’ More peals of laughter. ‘Oh my god, I’m so tired!’ ‘Not that I wanted to eavesdrop, but when he said all women were liars…’ ‘I know, right? I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t want to offend him, but…’ And so on. Finally: ‘Shh, here he comes.’

We straighten up and I pretend to be working on my laptop. Guy comes back to the table and they leave together. She waves at me behind his back.

I found this thing I wrote a while ago, it’s a list of things neurotypicals can do to actually help autistic people

• Don’t tell me how normal I look, or how no one would ever know I’m autistic. Understand that I have spent a lifetime learning how to appear normal. 
• Don’t take my language away from me. I am autistic. I don’t want to describe myself as “on the spectrum” or having aspergers. Please respect that.
  
• Let me stim. Let me flap when I’m upset.
  
• Don’t force me to talk when I’m having a meltdown. Don’t force me to make eye contact or show physical affection either. Yes, of course I still love you but I’m spending all of my energy trying to hold myself together at this moment. 
• Acknowledge societal biases like sexism in regards to autism.
• Don’t support autism speaks for anything. 
• Do your research. Read accounts of other autistic adults. You know how to use google.
• Understand that autism is part of my identity. A lot of times its a pain in the ass but I’m actually proud  of being autistic at times. 
• Trust me that I know my abilities best. You might think something is easy or even if I’ve done it before, if I say I can’t you need to listen. Sometimes I can act neurotypical with a large amount of effort, but if I’m stressed I might not be able to do that thing I did last week.
  
• Just… listen to us

*male artist voice* this is my new project, it’s like, the dark side of Disney princesses. so like, Alice is on drugs, belle has Stockholm syndrome, jasmine is a terrorist and sleeping beauty is getting plastic surgery. it’s super cutting edge as you can see

also look out for my new greek goddess paintings, including ‘naked white woman with helmet’, ‘naked white woman with pomegranate’, ‘naked white woman with bow and arrow’ and who could forget ‘naked white woman with slightly bigger boobs and a rose’

also stay tuned for my seven deadly sins paintings, including such classics as ‘naked white woman looking at herself in a mirror’, ‘mostly naked white woman posing in lingerie in a bed’, and my personal favourite ‘naked big breasted woman looking at you, the viewer, lustily’

I’m screaming this is exactly it tho lolll

Don’t forget to check out my latest project called ‘millennials’, where I critique society’s obsession with technology through a series of paintings such as ‘people in suits staring at phone screens which are sucking their souls out’, ‘white woman takes a selfie as the world burns around her’, ‘teenage girl photographs a shipwreck and ignores the drowning passengers in favour of choosing an Instagram filter’, and finally ‘image which bluntly reminds you, the viewer, that you too are a slave to technology, as you are viewing my artwork through the medium of a screen, completely ignoring the fact that I made all these paintings on a computer and uploaded them to Deviantart myself’.
