Why is no one talking about the fact that the scientist explicitly mentions what happens when you touch the bird and lick your finger afterwards? Like he has probably done this? He just went "Oh I've touched a poisonous bird. I wonder what happens when I lick the poison off my finger."?!
Dude has a death wish
While I am currently experiencing what can only be described as an Edgar Allan Poe kind of melancholy that could be romanticised/endured by rotting in bed all day, feeling sad and reading poetry from said poet, I regrettably have to study for insanely important exams, and so life is pure misery
RIP Sherlock Holmes you would have loved Lindsey Stirling
Ok first of all here is the A: LGBTQIA+. And you're telling me it's only about lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people? So you're also excluding pansexuals, intersex people, omnisexuals etc? Even if you refuse to put an A in your acronym there's still a + for other orientations... And what are inclusies? People, who include other people? That's a bad thing?
Sorry, I totally forgot that I wanted to respond to that and left this in my drafts.
You say aspec people don't belong in the LGBTQIA+ community because we are are "not oppressed enough" or "basically straight" but then proceed to say that the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally. Like WTF?! Allys most of the time are cishet people. They are straight, they aren't oppressed based on their sexuality in any way and you say they are part of the community and we aren't?! Please explain I don't get it.

One of the world's most famous detective...
...is now YOUR problem.
I just wanted to let anyone know who would be interested - I worked on the charachter designs on Hearth & Holmes, a game currently in development by @abigailmoment ! If your curiosity is peaked, you can play the demo, and wishlist it on steam!
In case there's anyone who hasn't come across them yet, there are some lovely terms that are just a bit more specific than "aspec", but broad enough to encompass a lot of experiences - both aspec microlabels and people who don't fit into the aspec -- allo binary.
Aromid: Strictly aromantic, and somewhere on the ace spectrum (or neither strictly ace nor strictly allosexual)
Acemid: Strictly asexual, and somewhere on the aro spectrum (or neither strictly aro nor strictly alloromantic)
Amid: Not strictly aro or ace, but somewhere on both spectrums (or not strictly aro, ace, allosexual, or alloromantic)
Of course, some people who fit these can call themselves aroace, but they may be useful or comforting for people who feel disconnected from the aroace label, those who have a complicated relationship with allosexuality/alloromanticism, or those who are neither a- nor allo-
Same in German. I mean for the original stories and adaptions set in Victorian England it would kind of make sense since even family members once addressed each other with the formal version of 'you', although I'm not sure if we hadn't moved past this already in the late 1800s. But for all modern adaptions, this translation makes absolutely no fucking sense. I mean come on, you can't tell me that BBC Sherlock and John who were on a FIRST NAME BASIS would have addressed each other with formal 'you' (Sie) instead of 'you' (Du) until John's wedding?! Elementary's translation is even worse in that way because Joan and Sherlock address each other with Sie (formal you) until the very last episode. I mean please, they tell each other that they love one another let them say "du" (normal/informal you)
Lowkey hate how in Russian Sherlock Holmes translations (and, by extension, in adaptations in Russian, and in, like, the whole cultural tradition in general) Holmes and Watson use formal "you" with each other. It's, like, a whole Thing, seen as a something emblematic of book canon. And it doesn't really make sense!!! Yes they use last names but that was just the normal etiquette at the time even with close friends, and it's not like you have nothing to extrapolate from in Russian, because people also mostly used last names here at the time, and they did very much combine it with the informal you with their friends! There's tons of examples??? It was absolutely the done thing! Whooooo decided to translate Holmes and Watson like that >:(((
Sherlock Holmes from Elementary being autistic, Sherlock from the BBC show being autistic, just Sherlock Holmes, in general, being autistic, Temperance Brennan from Bones being autistic, Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars being autistic,

Person: Sir I am in desperate need of help do you think you can do something
Sherlock Holmes: Why of course! I’ll gladly figure out any vexing issue! Don’t even bother paying me! The challenge is its own reward!!!!!
Some Asshole: solve this case u piece of shit
Sherlock Holmes: That will be £10000 sorry I don’t make the rules
