Ive decided that my favorite thing about the original macgyver is most of his misadventures were "this is my one day off and somehow I ended up dismantling a terrorist agency/busting a corruption/breaking a scheme somehow in some way" and not, i don't know, government sanctioned missions at his government operative job

In the interest of helping y’all stalk a guy who’s been dead for three thousand years, I present to you another document excavated from the archives of Ea-Naṣir! This one is a purely practical one: a record of sale for 50 garments to Ea-Naṣir. The guy apparently liked his clothing (or, more likely, bought it to sell as a merchant).
11 garments:
value: 1/3 mina, 2 2/3 shekels of silver
5 garments:
value: 13 shekels of silver
2 garments:
value: 6 ½ shekels of silver
5 garments:
value: 10 2/3 shekels of silver
27 garments:
value: 5/6 mina, 4 ½ shekels, 15 še
______________
50 garments:
value: 1 2/3 mina, 7 1/3 shekels, 15 še:
in the hands of Mr. Ea-Naṣir
(A mina was about 500g; a shekel was 8.3g; a še was .05g. So the total weight in silver for 50 outfits was about 895g, or two pounds.)

I seen a lot of people here and there reblog posts like “If you see someone being interrupted don’t let it happen just put the person in their place”. This kind of scares me and other people I know who have autism. We literally have a hard time reading the context and telling when someone is finished speaking or just paused. This is especially a problem in group settings where we accidentally cut people off a lot thinking they were finished.
Of course we stop once we realize they weren’t finished. Often we go to the extremes where by the end of the conversation we ended up never getting a chance to speak in fear of cutting someone off or we accidentally cut someone off because of a misread pause. This is a great source of anxiety because either we leave never having said a word never sure if we could speak or we are seen as rude for accidentally misreading the situation.
So if a person with autism cuts someone off… just maybe try to help them out instead of lecturing them on their terrible social skills. Give signs to show when you are willing to “pass the microphone” per say (even just for comments/relating about the story). That or at least don’t lecture them or give them a mean look to make them feel like a bad person for misreading the situation. You can say like “Oh I wasn’t done I’ll open up the floor for comments with a nod” or something lol. It sounds silly but literally can’t even tell the difference between a pause and an end.
My psychologist told me that allistic brains subconsciously pick up on when someone is about to finish speaking and subconsciously prepare to begin speaking then while autistic brains do not
…really??
[id: a screenshot from a show of two men facing the camera and a third man shown from the behind. the caption reads: “That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about allistic brains to dispute it.” end id]
According to my linguistics professor, the tone at which someone is speaking drops when they are almost done speaking. Allistic ppl can pick up on this tone shift, most autistic people can’t.
However, this goes in reverse– allistic people CANNOT tell when autistic people are about to be done speaking. Because we don’t always give off the same tonal indicators and often have a slower rate of speaking or leave a gap without making filler noises to indicate we are not done, autistic people often find themselves getting talked over and being unable to rejoin the conversation.
Which, of course, is a vicious cycle thing, because to us, it seems like allistic people interrupt ALL THE DAMN TIME, but suddenly when we do it it’s rude.
There was a study done on this!
They paired people into Allistic-Allistic, Autistic-Autistic, and Autistic-Allistic pairs and had them work on a communication task in those pairs. It was a blind test, as no participants were informed of the neurotype of the person they paired with.
It found that same-neurotype pairs communicated more accurately and reported greater mutual rapport than mixed-neurotype pairs - demonstrating that it’s NOT Autistic people having “bad social skills”, it’s a MUTUAL communication gap because they can’t understand us either. So we may not have good allistic-speaking skills, but they have equally terrible autistic-speaking skills.
This is a very easily replicable study, and bears out patterns I’ve noticed IRL.
(and like… if you’re not Autistic but a ton of your friends are and you vibe so much more easily with them than your Allistic friends? Maybe double check that ‘not Autistic’ thing just in case. You can still be a 'bilingual’ Allistic, of course! And Autistic masking is a thing, where you put a lot of background brain effort into decoding and mimicking Allistic patterns so you pass for one of them but then end up very very tired because you’re putting a LOT more work into the conversation than they are.)

Continuing in my offerings of ~secret~ old fandom works as my dues for being helped by so many of you.
I hardly remember making this. The file tells me it was 2014-ish. I read it with nearly zero recognition. But I do know the scenario.
@tinsnip and I got so carried away with this, and I imagine she is the only one who has seen it. We envisioned a future of long distance engagement in which one of them returns home and the other completes some residential doctor business in a cold remote place.
It’s small, like little bits of stuff in someone’s pocket. But I think it’s ono of the most finished things I have up for tribute and I think you’ll like it if you were big invested in the Deep Dish Nine situation.

getting over the fear of being bad is so fucking hard… like, it’s literally a super power if you can start something and say ‘it doesn’t matter if it’s bad, it just matters that it exists’
‘bad’ is so terrifying, ‘bad’ is wrecking, and the ability to apply self-compassion to things deemed ‘bad’ is beyond amazing, to understand not everything in life will be ‘good’ and that’s okay
essays, art, novels, school, relationships, anyone out there starting things when they are terrified of the arbitrary metric of the result… I am so fucking proud of you, you are so brave and strong
keep starting new things, even if ‘bad’ is a possibility
