@actuallyautistic I am often very aware of my heartbeat & blood pressure, but i've even had heart monitors to make sure there's no problems and.... there's no problems... but it makes exercising pretty easily overwhelming, with lots of sensory information from INSIDE my body becoming very obvious with increased exertion. In addition to the sensory input from OUTSIDE my body i'm always dealing with.
So... it's no wonder many autists don't like being active, if they're not sensory seeking types.

@actuallyautistic i think many autists don't deal with pain very well, but we also have different ways of perceiving our bodies (the good & the bad). It's probably scary to try to exercise, experience pain in weird places that your trainer or youtube videos or whatever can't quite figure out, so they say "uh ask your doctor," your doctor says "idk what to say, nothing's wrong with you." So you might think there's something wrong with you & that you SHOULDN'T do exercise!! 🥲

@actuallyautistic now that I'm focusing more on lifting, i'm once again getting strange soreness in new places, such as... like, inside my hips? Not the front of my hips, but as if it's directly in the center on either side of my body.
I have been trying to correct my anterior pelvic tilt in hopes it will relieve some back pain & stabilize my core. That involves lengthening & toning the hip flexors, such as the psoas & iliacus, which connect your femur to YOUR SPINE, passing thru your pelvis.

@actuallyautistic when I started running a few years ago, I would get this soreness right above & below my collarbones & in my neck, & in a weird part of my ribs. I felt like I had a tummy ache, but not in my abdominals (well, not only there). I thought I was having a heart attack or sth, it felt very unusual & breathing was painful.
Then I realized... i've been breathing harder & faster than I had in my years (depression, disordered eating, etc). My BREATHING MUSCLES were sore!! 😱😅

I never hear ppl talk about how, when dealing with going from sedentary/low activity lifestyles to being more active, you will probably notice a fair amount of strange types of pain & discomfort in like, DEEP skeletal muscles that you will feel like something is more wrong than it is bc you can't find any info about it unless you kind of know what you're trying to find.

Driving, shopping in person, shopping online, reading online, cable TV, watching streamed media, listening to music online, listening to radio, using a Windows computer, walking around a town square...
All the most normal things most normal people do subjects them to relentless advertising. What's insane is that this only really benefits a handful of companies. It's not like expanding the advertising space to include every fucking thing you do is increasing the number of small businesses.

It's 12/21/24 & I still think a lot of people of all ages are importantly giving up on reading signage, notices, & other important information because they've attenuated to a nightmare world where 90% of the shit they're asked to look at, listen to, & read on a daily basis is ads.

Anthem walks back decision to cap anesthesia coverage based on arbitrary time limits the day after announcing them, insists it is definitely because of "misinformation on social media" & not because a CEO of a different insurance company got straight up iced the day before.
Because people "misunderstanding" an insurance policy has definitely been a reason companies have retracted them in the past. Yep. This is definitely normal behavior for normal reasons.

@jimvernon @Raccoon we're way past "rather annoyed," we're talking about people openly fantasizing about rape in response to a known rapist being reelected. It would be a good move to have stern words & actions with these motherfuckers & it hurts your feelings that you're one of the only demographics they actually listen to? I don't care! LOL 🤣

I eat Cholula with breakfast most days, which is not very hot. But it sneaks up on some folks who get a false sense of security from the mild spice & yummy flavor & start to just douse their meal with it lol. But that never causes me problems.
Weird how different spicy sauces & peppers can affect you so differently, even with similar levels of hotness. 🤔🌶️

Anybody have tips for #Unionizing a workplace? This might just be the year. I just am a bit overwhelmed by the thought of being an organizer, it does kind of put a target on your back & can be pretty sus with unionbusting & stuff. I have no idea how to even start! I've already talked to a few of my co-workers & it seems like some are either interested or indifferent, none who seem hostile.
