Humans have finally managed to land on Mars, only to find a locked safe buried in the Martian soil. The key is apparently on Earth, but no one knows where.

The galactic council watched on to see how humanity would handle the task, much as they had with several species before. What the test was supposed to show was whether or not a species of violent nature could ever be brought to work together. They finally picked something up, another ship already headed to Mars? Was it possible humans were that clever to have found the key, maybe it was more specialists and equipment to analyze the locked crate to ensure it was safe to open. A few minutes after landing, they got another broadcast from the red planet.

“This is the LockPickingLawyer and today I’ve got something quite special, this locked alien chest. First of all I have to thank everyone who recommended me for the job, I’m honored that you all thought of me. Now let’s get to work”

The council representatives were confused as they started analyzing the translation, before even getting through the name he spoke something haunting

“Normally I don’t say things like this but this lock is quite unique, however with no security pins it will still be quite quick.”

“There we go, a click on 3… “

All the species of the galactic council sat dumbfounded, they spent many galactic cycles refining and perfecting their study and in all their time not a singular race had tried this method. Click after click, even in such an intricate lock the human had only spent around five minutes tampering with it.

“There we go, now while I can’t open this as part of my video I can say that I at least have a clue what the key should look like in case it ever gets locked again. I admire the design choices and the fact that at least it was harder to get open than anything Master Lock has made”

That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out how to say about adulting. Adulting isn’t about knowing how to handle every situation. Adulting is about knowing who knows how to handle any given situation, and how to contact them. No one knows all the things; the adultiest of adults still has places where they don’t have a damn clue — they just call another person who’s adultier in that area than they are.

Some thoughts on Cosette's fashion! I think it's really interesting that Cosette is meant to a bright joyful dawn-like character but she always dresses in black. The first dress she receives when she leaves the Thenardiers is a small black mourning gown, and I wonder if that has something to do with it. Anyway...Goth Cosette?

"Late-diagnosed autistic" is a useful term for describing the experience of not being able to figure out/articulate your needs or access the autistic community

But way too often, it's used to mean "always neurotypical passing" or "autistic person who never interacted with special education" or "autistic person who never interacted with medical institutions in relation to their autistic traits"

Which ignores the fact that "late-diagnosed autistic" includes people who never got a specific diagnosis, but were recognised by doctors/schools to have something going on, and people who were diagnosed with specific learning difficulties, intellectual/learning disabilities, and/or other developmental disabilities, but not specifically "autism" until adulthood

It also ignores the fact that some of us didn't get a diagnosis due to abuse and medical neglect. That some of us had parents who would take us to a different doctor and threaten teachers for making suggestions. It ignores that some of us also didn't get lifelong pain disorders that presented in childhood diagnosed either, that starting extremely early we were abused for our autistic traits while being told our pain wasn't real and that turned us into people great at internalizing our meltdowns, ignoring our sensory discomfort to avoid more of it, and developing a semblance of communication skills to avoid worse abuse even though knowing how to speak isn't the same as knowing how to communicate in a social sense

there's no greater betrayal than finally starting to read a book you've had sitting for months on your shelf or your desk or your nightstand and then finding out it's bad. like. i gave you a fucking home.
