  • are you capable of visualizing things? some time ago i learned that most people apparently can literally see things they picture in their head, which is something i’m only barely capable of doing if i close my eyes and relax.

    Like i can summon the image of a basic shape and make it rotate at a consistent speed, that’s it. But then when i’m extremely relaxed and almost about to fall asleep, or when i’m dreaming, i literally just see my imagination as if i’m looking at the real world.

    However what i can do is “visualize” extremely well with the sense of proprioception (the thing that lets you know where your hands are in relation to the rest of your body), so i can rotate objects in my headspace and walk through physical spaces. I can’t see anything in there, but i’m fully aware of the shape of things and i simply remember what colour things are.


  • for me it’s literally just my own voice (and i can mimic other voices) and i sort of hear it overlaid on everything else, sorta like what happens when you hold a hand in front of only one eye, you see both things at once.

    The only real difference from my physical voice is that there’s none of that delay and friction from having to physically speak, so it’s harder to prevent my inner monologue from saying stuff which is extremely annoying since i’m autistic and thus have echolalia, meaning i just reflexively repeat things i hear…

    The idea that other people have some sort of independent inner voice, or even several ones, is rather terrifying to me.


  • people really need to fucking train their small dogs, it’s not okay to let them act like that.

    With big dogs they consequences of not training them are too severe for people to completely ignore it, but with small dogs they just sort of end up as neurotic wrecks and people seem to think that’s… cute??

    no, train your fucking dogs, it’s not normal for small dogs to be nervous and aggressive, you’re fucking abusing your family members.

    This is what small dogs should be like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cn0KzdIc40



  • my favourite country songs remain those featured in fallout: new vegas, they’re so brilliantly atmospheric.

    I generally don’t cry but i can just put on “in the shadow of the valley” to cry on demand, i’m swedish as fuck and yet that song instantly makes me nostalgic for some southern ranch i’ve never seen


  • it’s honestly ever so slightly worrying that people would think yowling and meowing are the same thing, they can be sorta similar sure but yowls literally sound like a human voice and are slightly unnerving because of it.

    It’s like a parent thinking a baby’s laughter and screaming are the same thing, that’s… not a good sign…
