AN AUTISTIC URBAN HERMIT
(you may not understand if you are not autistic)

@actuallyautisticActuallyAutistic group

For many years, I've been a very curious person. I've learned many things and done many things that I found interesting: science, art, computer science. Like a voracious animal, my mind has consumed all kinds of information, eager to understand everything around me and everything I experienced. Soldier, doctor, monk, musician, hacker, etc. Until one day, staring at the ceiling in the bed of a psychiatric hospital where I was hospitalized, I asked myself: "How did I get here, to this?" And that night, 17 years ago, another part of my life began. I began to die and be reborn, to discover how and why I had gotten to that situation. I discovered that I have high abilities, that I am bipolar and autistic. But for every limitation I discovered, I also discovered the limitations of the world and the human society in which I live.
Today I know that nothing has meaning and that life doesn't need to have it; that what many see as progress and evolution, I see as barbarism and brutality, and that humanity is the stupidest species on the planet, not the best. I don't have goals anymore, I don't need them. But I do have a compass, a kind of direction without needing to get anywhere. To live as peacefully as possible and need very little, being aware and critical of everything. A peaceful dwelling isn't just my house tucked away in the middle of the city, but also a peaceful inner life, without the noise and clamor of the lives of "normal people," without socializing more than the bare minimum necessary for survival. And this isn't because of autism; it's because of a kind of purge, a psycho-spiritual hygiene. The forced social being I often was is dying. Until a few years ago, there wasn't so much exposure and socialization; it wasn't mandatory or essential to living and working in this world. With all the technology and supposed progress, there is increasing misery, hunger, war, and violence everywhere, which makes me think that it's more of a trigger than a solution.
Being overly intelligent and being autistic is a fatal combination that guarantees the death of the social being and the development of the inner hermit that every gifted autistic person potentially is. I'm slowly retreating from the world to my quiet inner abode, where a very narrow door filters who enters and who doesn't. Just my small family group and a minimum of kindness toward a few people is more than enough.
I thought a lot about sharing what I'd learned, about helping, but I realized that idealism and the romanticization of compassion are useless when the sufferer doesn't understand the root of their problems and isn't willing to do their part. Human nature is to be a soulless son of a bitch, held back only by fear of punishment, whether from human law itself or some imagined deity. It's better to live in full awareness of the suchness of things. I myself can be a compassionate genius and in the next moment break your head for being rude and treating me badly.
We live in the worst of all possible worlds, and with that, we are warned that the worst can always happen. Knowing that, any good thing that comes or appears is a gift, a bonus track.
I don't give unsolicited advice, but if you want some, it's this: "Step away from the world as it is and watch it burn from a distance."

(An autistic person becoming an urban hermit.)

Are there yet applications for the free desktop ecosystem that use PipeWire directly for audio? If not, is it intended that there will be? Or will applications always use the JACK or PulseAudio compatibility layer?

Edit with pupdate:

Unfortunately there were no new donations yesterday. I understand as times are hard and everyone is trying to make ends meet. And I'm super grateful and relieved that we got to the original goal, as it means I can take my gall home when that time comes... Of course any help towards the funds for the pendant would be really welcome, but it's not a "direct need", it's an extra that I would love to save for... :bear_nuzzle:

Original goal completion 💯
Edited goal to €675, to include the ash-pendant... :bear_love:

Thanks so much for helping us reach the original goal of €400! It's so good, knowing I will be able to take Arwen home, after her soul has crossed the 🌈 bridge...

I've upped the goal to include the ash-pendant that I'd love to get as well. I know it's extra and not the main necessity. The cremation and urn were the most important, and thanks to you, we made it!
I know the pendant is extra (and expensive), so don't feel bad if we can't make that goal meet. But every bit helps tremendously, as it would mean I could have Arwen with me sooner rather than later. 💜

Thanks ever so much for all your support! :ablobcatheartsqueeze: it really means a lot that you're all so kind and generous to someone who is basically an internet stranger (and her cute old sweetheart).

*Original message:*
It pains me to do this... 😢
Arwen is still with me...
But I fear her time is slowly (or quickly, depending how you look at it) running out.
When she passes, I'll need to make arrangements for her.
I want her to be cremated individually, so that I can have her ashes in an urn. And use some of the ashes for a pendant...

So, I know it's early, but here I am sharing the GoFundMe for Arwen's cremation, urn, and possibly the pendant.

gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen

I'm so sorry to ask for help with this. But I'm at a loss of how to get the funds in any other way, and I would like to be able to get everything sorted once she's passed the rainbow 🌈 bridge.

She just means the world to me. She's seen me at my best and my worst, and she never stopped believing in me. She's the reason I'm still around, she really saved me when the days were darker than a starless night... I owe her...

Fankoos :flying_hearts: in advance. I know I could never repay all the kindness shown here to me. :bear_love:

Edit: made a unique link, so I updated this Toot with that link. 😊

Night time selfie of a person and a chocolate brown Labrador with greying snout. The person is wearing a black jacket, yellow safety harness, red cap, silver headphones and blue-rimmed glasses. On their cap rests a headstrap torch in off position. Their free hand is around the dog's shoulders. Both are facing the camera. The dog's mouth is open, showing some blep.

rural driving in aus: start in the town of Garrawuppa, population 87, consisting of a post office and a bakery selling vegemite scrolls, and home to a self professed "old mate" who remembers an old mate who remembers when this town had a train station taking you to the nearby (seventy kilometres away) gold mine. drive for one hour in a random direction. there are no visible signs of civilisation anywhere. stop the car to allow an echidna to cross the road. your phone has one bar of "E". a sign tells you to turn back unless you have five litres of water per person, and not to leave your vehicle under any circumstances, including a breakdown. the nearest servo is in Garrawuppa

rural driving in england: start in the town of Brentleysham-upon-Willingsby, population 5,210, consisting of all the amenities needed for modern life, and home to a family of knitters who have passed down a unique and world-renowned style of jumper down for generations. drive for one hour in a random direction. you have passed six more towns and are now in Old Foldopperstokesshireton, population 3,398. stop the car to allow the world-renowned Jam Parade Marching Band to cross the road. the nearest petrol station with miniature Greggs and Sainsbury's is right next to you

一大早發點牢騷

很長一段時間
民眾都習慣被媒體餵食資訊
而媒體都有自家立場
所以在選擇媒體的時候差不多就決定自身的立場顏色
有立場不是件壞事
但是，為了自己的立場扭曲真相
先有結論再去找證據，這就是現在資訊時代很容易犯下的錯誤，而且會失去對事實的了解。

更可怕的在於，撇開那些簡單明瞭一看就知道對錯的事，更多人對於要思考批判找尋證據等相對複雜問題的答案，很容易落入先畫靶再射箭的圈套。
或者，等別人給出他所謂的正確答案．．．．

念大學的時候大該都有學到抄別人答案之前也要檢查人家有沒有寫錯.......

總之，批判性思考雖然討人厭但絕對有必要性，但現在的網路社會風氣好像很討厭這樣的人物存在ˊ_>ˋ
