| Did anyone else watch or hear about the James Webber telescope launch that occurred earlier today? I did, and I'm pleased that nothing's gone wrong (so far). I can't wait to see what it sends back in a couple of months' time! |

| I too feel suspicious about this. Nothing about us without us, after all. Really hope this isn't just something made for NTs but minimally including autistic people to give the resemblance of diversity. |

| I can see Komi as autistic too, since a lot of her problems feel very familiar. Also reminding me of Tomoko Kuroki. I have been a little let down by some reactions to Najimi being something like it is a joke, or that they haven't confirmed anything, so they can't really be non-binary. While the amb... |

Adolescence of Utena. It's an anime film, but it has a canon wlw couple! And they kiss at the end! The series, Revolutionary Girl Utena, is also highly worth watching.
I also like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (TV series) which has multiple queer relationships and also nonbinary characters! |

| This is the test run of my opinion polls idea which I posted about sometime early this year. This time the question is simple: which of these to holiday foods do you prefer? Candy canes or gingerbread? Options for both and neither are there as well. Since I'll be doing this regularly starting at som... |

| I have returned to this thread to announce that I am a MASSIVE Komi Can't Communicate fan. The nonbinary character, Osana Najimi, is genderfluid, and while they may be the punchline of jokes at times, I still like them a lot. Then there's Komi who is my absolute favourite character. I absolutely hea... |

| The Santa Claus(e) I think it's called? Santa dies and as soon as the man whose house he died while visiting (because he's an old man) picks up his card, he is contractually obligated to be the next Santa. Further sequels explore the idea of a contractual Mrs Claus(e), which... no thank you. I see y... |

Oh yes. I've had 1 teacher tell me that I should never ask why they ask me questions I find invasive, because they're a teacher and therefore are allowed. Like... no. That's not how it works.
Luckily they are an exception to the rule - most of the teachers at my school are great! |
