Could people posting about the new HP game tag their posts with Harry Potter or discourse?

Went on a date to Denny's and saw the big fish at the pet store afterward.

I want to personally spray weed killer on every Floette in North Province Area Three. I hate running into these little shits.

Autistics often struggle to learn how to drive, usually taking 6-9 months longer to obtain their licence (if they're able to drive at all).

This isn't surprising when you think about everything that goes into driving.

You need to successfully and confidently:

Know how to operate the car

Know all the laws of driving

Be able to switch between multiple tasks

Preempt other driver's movements

Be aware of your surroundings at all times

Not get distracted

Listen and watch for traffic hazards, emergency vehicles etc

Stay calm at all times

Anticipate and react to the traffic around you

Interact with other drivers as necessary to ensure the flow of traffic

Cope with the noise of traffic

Cope with police officers during routine traffic stops etc

Ensure your car is road worthy at all times.

And about a dozen other things!

So, if you're autistic and can't drive, there is nothing wrong with you. It's freaking difficult, scary to learn, and a sensory nightmare!

Reblog and put in the tags what words you struggle to say and/or spell

Maybe it's just the late-night sads, but I wanna say something to all the young artists on here-

Don't give up.

Even if you think your art sucks, there are plenty of people out there who will look at it and appreciate it. Keep going. Keep improving. You can do it.

Don't give up.

-someone who gave up on art and highly regrets it

happy new year🏮

hope everyone has a better year🥂

I've been working at a warehouse for going on 5 years and the work suits me. It's repetetive and fairly easy, if you don't mind physical labor, and where I work you can just put earbuds in and listen to music/podcast/audiobooks all night if you choose and nobody bats an eye as long as you're actively working. They have a goal each employee must reach to retain employment (units per hour), but it's not hard to reach if you keep pace. We get 2 paid breaks, but cannot leave the building once you're inside without permission from a supervisor (this is to prevent theft). There is a fenced in area outside for smokers during break. Warehousing is good if you want a job that pays above minium wage, don't mind bending/stooping/lifting up to 50 lbs, using an RF unit and navigating the menus, zero direct customer interaction, and flexibility. I'm not sure how other warehouses work, but mine offers benefits like paid time off, sick time, and unpaid time off. On days when we have low volume, they offer vto (voluntary time off) where you can take an unpaid day off without penalty. We get our benefits every 6 months, and are responsible for managing our time off (typically 80 hrs of UA and PTO, 60 hrs of sick) via an app. If you go negative, you're termed. I don't reccomend Amazon, as they're super strict and have cameras on you ALL.THE.TIME. If you make a mistake, you can bet a manager will be over with a laptop to show you the video and give a lecture. It really does suck there.

To my fellow neurodivergent peeps and/or introverts, does anyone currently work in a warehouse or do assembly? I’m quitting my current nightmare customer service job to do that instead and wondering if anyone else does warehousing.
