    Being gaslit about being autistic or not

    Have you been diagnosed as autistic by a qualified behavioral therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist? “Identifying as” or thinking you’re autistic doesn’t make you so…it’s a medical term, a medical diagnosis.

    Buster Keaton

    He was beautiful.

    Buster Keaton

    The Playhouse is one of the best films he ever made. The first six minutes still amazes me no matter how many times I see it. Even aside from the first part, the whole thing is wonderful and so funny. I watched one of his sound films once, one from MGM, and I’ve seen short clips of others, but...

    Buster Keaton

    I haven’t seen the footage, but I’ve read about it. I believe they were showing the Samuel Beckett movie Film (which Buster was in), but recently there had been a retrospective of Keaton’s silent films, so they were applauding for him and the films he made in the ‘20s. I’m so glad that before he...

    I love this scene in Seven Chances, though. Keaton said it saved the film (which it didn’t; it was just the most redeeming scene in it).

    Buster Keaton

    And no, there was no stunt safety or protection in the 1920s at all. Keaton just did it. He was an amazing athlete and visual mathematician.

    Buster Keaton

    Yes! I’ve never seen anyone who was so captivating at just running. I could watch him run for hours and be entertained. But one of the best sequences in his pictures, and in my favorite film of his, the dream sequence in Sherlock Jr.:

    Oh my god I know, it’s one of the most intensley suspenseful moments in The General or any of Keaton’s pictures. My whole body tenses when I watch it! Every time. Even though I know it’s going to be alright.

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    A baby is a victim? A fact is defined as “something that is known to have happened or to exist, especially something for which proof exists, or about which there is information” (per the Cambridge dictionary). In no circumstance should the word “fact” be used—anywhere, period—where religion is...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Does this actually make sense to anyone? Rationally, I mean. A newborn baby, who has absolutely no concept of existence or what’s happening around him, squalling and crapping his diapers, is somehow “sinful” and should be raised to believe this, and is punished and made to feel guilty and deeply...

    Autistic “bluntness”

    Oh I see, yes, that’s true.

    Autistic “bluntness”

    That’s absolutely true: there’s a difference between being blunt and being rude. No question about that at all.

    Autistic women - men and sex

    What sort of men, male characteristics, traits, etc. do you like? I’ve always been attracted to men who are funny. What are you attracted to in a man?

    Vegetarianism

    You could definitely go without fish and seafood—if it’s important enough to you. You control what goes into your mouth. I’ve been a vegan for 14 years and have never looked back. (Well actually anytime I have looked back I’ve been disgusted.)

    Buster Keaton

    I’m starting a Buster Keaton thread which will likely get no posts initially, but…for those of you who are as mesmerized and dazzled by Keaton’s silent films as I am, please post your comments here.
