The title "Autistic Galaxy" adds a layer of meaning to the image, emphasizing the rich and intricate inner universe often experienced by individuals on the autism spectrum. The cosmic scene within the silhouette suggests the depth and vastness of the autistic mind, filled with unique patterns of thought and perception. The intermingling of celestial bodies and mechanical elements could symbolize the structured yet expansive nature of autistic cognition, where logic and imagination coexist in harmony. The flow of ideas and thoughts might be represented by the comet-like streams, illustrating the dynamic and continuous movement of an autistic individual's internal universe. This image could be seen as a celebration of the diversity and complexity of the autistic experience, encapsulating the beauty of a perspective that encompasses both the analytical and the creative.

Dłoń o czerwonych paznokciach, wystającą z różowego rękawa sweterka, trzyma dwie książki. Z przodu "Wiele hałasu o nic" William Shakespeare w zielonej oprawie, z jasnymi napisami. Za nią, w jasnej oprawie: "Czekając na Godota" Becketta. W tyle kadru wiechcie w doniczkach, ściana i kawałek blatu.

"Autism? It's a State of Being. NOT an Identity Group.
You are born autistic.
There's no initiation fee.
No secret handshake.
And you don't need anyone's approval to be autistic. It's not like they can kick you out.
Maybe… they won't let you sit at their lunch table. But you're used to that. Right?
Just. Do. You.
Seems obvious. Or is it just me? Cuz…
I feel a growing pressure to conform.
Today, it's the healthy demand avoidance side of me speaking. My built-in "authenticity filter," screening out anyone who casts shade on my individuality. With hidden motive.
See, I tend to… well, go nuclear meltdown around demands for conformity.
Whether from medical pros who diagnose me… defective. Helping pros who counsel… that I become more like them. Or even autistic advocates who define proper language… and correct attitudes… to "unite our people."
Look… I cannot handle pressure.
That ain't gonna change… this autistic lifetime...
An interesting new feature that I've only just noticed has been added to @MonaApp:
Adding an image from your Photos library to which you have already added a Caption (in Photos) automatically adds that caption as your image description/alt-text in Mona.
The video shows this in action (nb the centre bit where I locate the photo has been edited to remove personal content).
Early Word Galley Chat #ewgc –where librarians talk about great upcoming books– has moved entirely back to Twitter/X so here are 7 galleys I want to download after yesterday's chat! #alttext for details! #bookstodon#ARC#TBR#books@bookstodon@librarians
@thomasfuchs@DavidB I'm not a member of the HOA. I just think it's nice to remember that some people can be triggered by certain kinds of posts and those with vision difficulties may not be able to appreciate images that are posted without #AltText.
But those who don't follow these courtesies should never be harangued or persecuted for it.

The 16th C composer Thomas Whythorne wrote that maids go for looks, but widows have...um...other priorities. To court an experienced woman, he said, you "must not carry quick eels in your codpiece, but show some proof of being stiff." #eels#history#medieval#datingadvice
