Enshittification is the idea that companies make products worse to increase their profits. Think about Amazon holding off on shipping for Prime payments, YouTube’s constant interruptions, or those flimsy can openers we all know. Toilet paper tubes got bigger, prices went up, and sizes got smaller. Even though it’s everywhere, we can only say, “It sucks” because it’s so widespread. To really fix it, we need political action, campaigns, and funding, but the people making the money are in charge.

I’m not a psychiatrist, but I’ve noticed that autism checklists often emphasize “outward” signs rather than what’s happening inside. I’m not sure how to put it, but asking if someone makes eye contact feels less important than asking how it feels to make eye contact.

Numerous prompts online can guide you through this process. Regularly journal on these emotions and thoughts.

I’m deeply concerned about AI. People use it for therapy, safety, emails, grant applications, legal documents, academic papers, finance, and even everyday questions. When I mention its ecological costs, they laugh and say they’ve used a lot of water. In gatherings of over ten, I’m the only one who doesn’t use ChatGPT, making me a pariah because I don’t understand why people don’t see the problem. This technology didn’t exist five years ago and is destroying everything.
