breaking news: someone admits they were wrong on the internet.

thank you, Agent Carter, for being the hero we need and the hero we deserve.

I really give a lot of kudos to the men who are strong enough and fair-minded enough to realize they were wrong, and to admit to it after realizing it and changing their thinking. This is great. And it gives me hope that we can turn the tide against sexism.

I certainly don’t think former assholes deserve a parade just for having an epiphany, but this comment is a good example of the right way to acknowledge that you’ve been doing it wrong and want to change.

Social skills: noticing when repetition is communication

So there’s this dynamic:

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I *know* that. It’s hot in here.

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I already explained to you that it’s hot in here!

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: Why do you have to repeat things all the time?!

Often when this happens, what’s really going on is that the autistic person is trying to communicate something, and they’re not being understood. The other person things that they are understanding and responding, and that the autistic person is just repeating the same thing over and over either for no reason or because they are being stubborn and inflexible and obnoxious and pushy.

When what’s really happening is that the autistic person is not being understood, and they are communicating using the words they have. There’s a NT social expectation that if people aren’t being understood, they should change their words and explain things differently. Sometimes autistic people aren’t capable of doing this without help.

So, if this is happening, assume it’s communication and try to figure out what’s being communicated. If you’re the one with more words, and you want the communication to happen in words, then you have to provide words that make communication possible. For example:

Other person: Do you want the door to be closed, or are you saying something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Do you want to show me something outside, or something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Are you worried about something that might happen, or something else?

Autistic person: Worried

Other person: Are you worried that something will come in, or that something will go out?

Autistic person: Baby

Other person: She’s in her crib, and the baby gate is up. Is that ok, or is there still a problem?

Autistic person: ok

Holy fuck.

This changes everything.

Let me tell you guys a little story of what happened at the movie theater in South Korea. That Bucky’s line in the first gif “I was gonna ask…” was subtitled as “Shall we do the thing?” (우리 그거 할래?) Some people in the theater were like ‘Wait, do THE THING? With a couch cushion on the floor????? So they are…. ????????’ and I was like, 

Okay, the translator is definitely a Stucky shipper lol

Stunning.

steve + grief

Powerful.  Heartbreaking.  The sniffle that launched a hundred thousand fan stories …

Can we talk about how important it is that Steve Rogers, who embodies the idealistic masculine image, is open about his grief though?

Can I just talk about that last gif? In the commentary track, Joe Johnson said that they filmed this take first, then called Chris back for a reshoot where he was more stoic. They ended up going back to this version because of the strength of Chris’s performance and the emotion was a much better fit. As a result we have an amazingly beautiful emotional beat between Peggy and Steve, but we also actually get to feel Steve’s grief for his friend rather than it just being automatically transformed into righteous asskicking and gunfire.
