RE: https://mas.to/@PatternChaser/117117013115375469
One reason why autists' life expectancy is so low is suicide. One top of lifelong #rejection, and consequential #despair (that all autists experience), the media storm that enveloped JA could easily have pushed him in that direction. 🤬😭

He did not smile, as we have already said, but he used to laugh; sometimes, indeed frequently, a bitter laugh. There is consent in a smile, while a laugh is often a refusal.
[Il ne souriait pas, nous l’avons dit, mais il riait; parfois, fréquemment même; d’un rire amer. Il y a du consentement dans le sourire, tandis que le rire est souvent un refus.]Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Book 0, ch. 1, sec. 4 (1.0.1.4) (1869) [tr. Unknown, Authorized (1871)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/hugo-victor/85160/

Wandering in the Starlight @wanderinginthestarlight.wordpress.com@wanderinginthestarlight.wordpress.com ·The Path of a Writer
For the longest time, I was hesitant to own, or even accept, that I had any talent in writing.
I wanted to be one of the ‘cool kids’. I wanted to be a dancer, or a singer, like the cool popular ones. Writing was for the nerds, the silent ones, the ones no one wanted to hang out with… and I was very much all of these things as a kid.
Having that little bud of talent in writing also meant I was subject to many injustices, for lack of a better word. In group projects, I was most often burdened with doing the bulk of the work while the others played around and did the bare minimum. I was almost always tasked with the report writing and documentation, which, after a while, if you know, gets a little tiring. Because you work with little to no recognition and rarely get to be in the spotlight, which I desperately wanted to be in. In those formative, impressionable years, that really did mean a lot.
So, as it follows, I didn’t give much importance to my talent. In fact, I purposefully strayed away from it — a rejection, as though I was rejecting my own true nature. When people asked me what I was good at, writing was at the bottom of my list, or omitted altogether. When I turned to astrology, poring over birth charts, searching for the purpose or career charted out in the stars for me, a mention of writing and I would scoff, or sigh in disappointment.
And thus, I let my pen rest for too long. In time I realised what a powerful gift it could be, how truly valuable it was in the real world. But by the time I returned, it had rusted.
I truly felt like a fool who neglected her gift and allowed it to weaken. I am now catching up.
Writing these days feels slow and effortful, as though after being suppressed for too long the words shy away from blooming out into the world. I myself know not how to undo all those years of turning away from it.
And so, stumbling and messy, I keep on, searching for the fragments of light I lost.

Been sending out a lot of work lately.
First rejection came in today.
Pleased they bothered to send an email, rather than just leaving you hanging until you figure out on your own that you've not been accepted.Playing the 'Rejection Bingo' on ChillSubs, so just ticked off "Unfortunately". 👍

Why Trying Stops Making Sense: The Psychology of Learned Helplessness
Jump to TL;DR You send out a tailored application, an hour or two spent getting it right, referencing the role specifically, leading with the right keywords. Nothing comes back. Not a rejection, just silence, the modern default. You do it again the next week, and the week after that, and at some point a quieter, more dangerous thought arrives: maybe it does not matter what I do. That thought is not a character flaw. It is a learned prediction, and psychology has a name for the pattern behind […] -
🎩 Oh, the agony of rejecting 🤖 AI code that *gasp* actually works! Because who needs progress when you can endlessly nitpick over git diffs and drown in a sea of your own self-inflicted cognitive overload? 🤯 Keep those neurons overheating, Vinicius – after all, thinking through code is so 2025! 🔄🔍

#social punishment hurts and is painful. #isolation drives #depression and #beratment causes #trust erosion
#Rejection activates the brain’s pain regions (Cyberball studies). Isolation and depression feed each other in a spiral. Berating erodes the felt safety trust requires. The throughline: humans are wired for #belonging, and the #brain treats its loss as real #injury.

Saw this cool vintage video on LinkedIn posted by the founder of Spanx about the importance of quitting your job in your 20s to pursue your dream. I found on her Instagram however that she spent 7 years in that job learning a lot of important stuff. So yeah, quit, but first, learn!

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify Him. They would ask Him to dinner, and hear what He had to say, and make fun of it.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

→ Gen Z's biggest fear is laughable at first. But it's quietly wreaking havoc on their lives.
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/family-relationships/article/gen-zs-biggest-fear-is-laughable-at-first-but-its-quietly-wreaking-havoc-on-their-lives-090000347.html“"Cringe" is a relatively new term, but the feeling behind it certainly isn’t. What Gen Z calls "#cringe" is the very human, timeless fear of rejection. What’s changed is the scale at which that #rejection can happen — and how permanent and #public it can feel. Being earnest means to risk #misunderstanding. […] Being #open at all means being evaluated and #judged.”

World Events and Writing
First, I could write another blog about the new spam I was exposed to just this week. Two different ones. But I'm not going to. They already waste my time on social media and email (and now discord), so I'm going to look on other topics. The World I'm reluctant to talk about anything going on in the world because I recognize I don't have enough information before my particular situation, because focusing on all issues is impossible, because focusing on even one issue is exhausting. Is it […]https://telinartho.wordpress.com/2026/04/10/world-events-and-writing/

CHORUS: I hope the man who does not honour his friends, the man who does not open an honest heart to them, I hope that man dies a horrible, a miserable death. Such a man will certainly never be a friend of mine!

We are being very careful with our children. They’ll never have to pay a psychiatrist twenty-five dollars an hour to find out why we rejected them. We’ll tell them why we rejected them. Because they’re impossible, that’s why.
