  • One thing I think is a good place to start is building social connections.

    this drives me bonkers when people tell me to do this because the parts of spectrum i inhabit invariably leads to people gatekeeping me out of any social gathering or group – there are other ways to contribute.

    the last 30 years of trying to do this have taught me that there’s a SIGNIFICANT number of people who are gatekept out of fold because of their neurospicey behaviors and it seems to be most frequently done at the hands of other neurospicey people considering how many flock to leftism.


  • the difference is that pendelton’s identity, aesthetics, and bubbly personality transcends the gatekeeping stereotypes and it keeps her message accessible, whereas second thought is just another voice – it’s an exceptionally well done and noteworthy voice, but it’s still more of the same as before and unpalatable to most as a result.



  • I consider the mods are total assholes and jerks

    yes they are and i hope it’s out of ignorance or inexperience or else madeline is going to be surrounded by mods who keep pushing away the people she’s trying to reach.

    and – anecdotally speaking – i wish i could say that this was unique to her, but it seems to be REALLY common for all leftist groups – they’re not all fond of new people who don’t fit the image of what they’re expecting.
