My partner and I refer to them as Caws and Gronks respectively based on the usual noise

My diagnosis is in that spike. I got diagnosed late because it took that long to get away from my autism denying parent and enough time living on my own to start wondering about my “weird habits”, especially after starting to meet others “like me”.

It stopped being a disability in my mind and started being more like a superpower, and eventually out was just who I was and y’all can just deal with it. Of course I leaned boundaries and social graces because we live in a society, but how I view myself and other people definitely changed

So I think it has a lot to do with how this generation and previous ones changed how they handle autism.

That’s not at all how interest rates work on homes… They’re fixed and yes while fluctuations in interest rates can have an effect on the home value, that won’t change how much your mortgage payments are, and can only effect your property taxes by at most 2% per year

Rent doesn’t have to fluctuate with interest rates at all as it’s up to the home owner

Edit: unless you’re in a variable rate interest loan in which case, yeah your lender is screwing you

I’ve found the expanse to be somewhat loosely analogous, but making the associations is a bit of a stretch I guess.

UN is America, Mars is Israel, Belters are Palestinians or other brown folk.

Or they’re any number of similar analogues.

! The entire premise of the current leadership is endless unchecked growth

! This mirrors the Laconian goal of superiority through holding onto what’s basically a free infinite energy machine, only it’s not really free, it’s just being stolen from neighboring universes who’s very advanced inhabitants really don’t like that.

! We see the same hubris from the people in charge thinking that just a little more control or a little more power will be enough to save us, when really the answer is to let go and stop trying to control everything
