I added 24 records to my collection last year. This year I've only added 6 and it's the middle of October. That's my personal recession indicator.

Check out KEXP today for Indigenous People's Day. @kevinsur.bsky.social is doing a great show this morning with amazing music from indigenous folks and some history lessons mixed in. Really good stuff 🫶🏻

Also, Ipswich and Liverpool are level on points right now. I have a feeling their new manager may not last 😬 Hope they still have Jurgen's number 😂

@soundersfc.com , @seattlekraken.com , and @ipswichtown.bsky.social all won and my right shoulder is feeling better. Oh, and I rediscovered the joy of fried cheese curds. I did burn my lip on the molten contents of a spring roll, but overall I'm calling this weekend a win.

I'm so tired of parents bemoaning their children's lack of knowledge when it comes to older pop culture. Like, that's on y'all. You're the ones who are supposed to teach them.

If you're an ally and people in your life, for whatever reason, think you're not? Come out as an ally and stand 10 toes down on that shit loudly and openly. We need you more than ever (but please listen to queer voices and do your research).

You don't have to be exactly like the 23 year old blue haired demisexual enby who makes your matcha, but it's important to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in community because none of us are free and safe until all of us are free and safe.

Come out. Come out because representation matters. Come out because sheer numbers matter.

Come out if you pass as cis and/or straight. Come out if you think it "shouldn't matter" (because it shouldn't, but it does).

Today is National Coming Out Day. If it's safe for you to do so, please come out publicly. Come out to your friends, your family, your coworkers.

I made veggie pigs in a blanket tonight, but I think it's weird calling them that so I've decided to start calling them "cuddles". So I made cheesy cuddles tonight. They were a little under baked but still really yummy.

I know people who have, like, groups of close friends they regularly do things with and it's such a foreign concept to me. I wish I had those kinds of friendships, or even knew *how* to have them. *see also: any close relationship

When autistic people talk about lack of support (or lack of sufficient support) we're not just whiny brats with a sense of entitlement complaining that we need more than we actually need. We're begging for help in a system that largely ignores us...

I'm autistic, but not the "superpower" kind. I hate this idea that we're expected to be extraordinary. A lot of us are just regular people who do our best to support ourselves and for whom life is really fucking difficult because of our autism and its associated trauma. Fuck Palantir.

It's not over yet, but just in case it wasn't clear I'd like us to not hand Fulham their first win of the year 🫠

Yup! 2025 is up too, but maybe not on their official channel 😬 I've watched them all several times 😂

Good morning, Tractors! I've actually been awake for quite a while. Guess why! 😂 #ITFC #IpswichTown #UpTheTown #UppaTowen #RainbowTractors #SeattleTractors #IPSFUL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Autistic people aren't stubborn, we are activated for survival because our nervous systems are detecting some sort of threat. If you see us being "stubborn" it's because being stubborn is getting a need met. Not because we just feel like being difficult.

It's only been a few days, so I want to make sure it's not associated with the pre-existing pain first. But good to know there are options, thank you.

Having to take an unpaid day off because I'm in pain & out of PTO is just peak late stage capitalism. Oh, you're right, I could just "power through" like I did yesterday and risk making it worse 🙄 Did I mention my new cholesterol meds cause muscle aches? Because fuck it I guess 😭

To anyone making sweeping statements about people online faking their disabilities, what you're actually saying is that it's impossible for a person to have a disability you can't see...

What do you do when the thing you've done professionally for the past 23 years is no longer tenable? Oh, and acquiring new skills is extremely difficult thanks to a learning disability? And your brain just doesn't work like it used to?

I'm at work after being laid up for 3 days at home with back and shoulder pain. I'm only here because I'm out of any sort of PTO.

He may be a terrible nurse, but he's a pretty good teddy bear 🥺 Of course, as I was posting this he decided it was too cute and attacked my hand 🙃

My heating pad only provides so much relief, & only if I don't move. Daniel seems largely indifferent to my plight. I really wish my body would stop trying to destroy itself & me in the process.

Still in a lot of pain. I have an doc appt in 2 wks for my left shoulder, so we'll have even more to talk about I guess. I have to try to go in to work tomorrow no matter how much pain I'm in bc I'm almost out of any kind of PTO.

Did you know there's a type of anxiety specific to autism that isn't explained by any other existing anxiety disorder currently outlined in the DSM... and that it's often misdiagnosed as clinical anxiety?
