I’m craving community after the older autism spaces became unsafe or fractured. I’m 27F and I like BTS, tornadoes and collecting information into lists. I’ve been feeling very lonely since the other spaces became unhealthy and harmful. I’m very burned out these days and it’s difficult to find things to be happy about.

Gimme your favorite tornado fact!
The UK actually has the greatest number of tornadoes per square mile than anywhere on Earth but we don’t hear about them because most are under EF3. Sometimes we get supercells similar to the American ones.
Oh wow I never realised I was missing tornado facts from my life but I am genuinely loving learning about this.
I had no idea! I wonder why that is. Thanks so much for that cool tornado fact. Also, your comment led me to learn about the Enhanced Fujima Scale and the Torro scale which is neat!
I had no idea! I’m from the UK and I have definitely felt the winds that kinda felt like tornados, didn’t think they might be actual tornadoes!
Some roofs got ripped off a few months ago, t’was in the news. Forget where, want to say Manchester, but I could be wrong.
Yes! I too would like to learn tornado facts. Also welcome to the group!
Something I loved learning about stormchasers is that the professional ones are also first responders to destroyed houses and some have training in first aid and bring chainsaws with them. I love ethical storm chasing, it’s considered good etiquette to stop an exhilarating chase the moment a place is hit and go into first response mode instead.
Welcome to the community, people are pretty chill here. There are a few bad apples, but there usaully taken care of :D
Glad to have you :) unfortunately Lemmy is not really set up to be a casual conversation tool, it’s a little hard to follow users. It’s mostly used to chat about specific topics in specific threads on them.
I’ve been looking for more community as well, but it’s hard to find. Everyone I meet locally just seems so different from me.
What “older autism spaces” do you mean? What kind of communities were these? What’s BTS stand for?
for chatting we have a matrix server
What is your opinion regarding Bees?
Bees are great and wasps are very under recognised. Cross pollination, more varied than bees. They’re great at pest control. Not saying bees aren’t great, but we need more love for wasps.
friends.
Hey! I’m into tornadoes as well! Do you watch storm chasers, Ryan Hall, documentaries, and other such footage of tornadoes on YouTube?
I hear you fam. I’ve dropped out of pretty much every autism space I’ve joined because of one bit of toxic bullshit or another.
You ain’t alone in that regard!
welcome and hopefully you’ll find this community a home for you.
