In Weller's classic text*, SCIENCE MADE STUPID, we get the bottom line on eclipses. * HE PUT THE BOOK ONLINE FOR FREE BEST BARGAIN EVER

ECLIPSES (illustrated with bland, generic line drawings, as science should be)

"An eclipse of the moon occurs when the sun passes between te earth and the moon."

"An eclipse of the sun occurs when the shadow of the earth falls on the sun." (helpful diagram includes labels on the shadow: UMBRAGE, UMBRELLA, and COROLLA)

"An eclipse of the earth occurs when you put your hands over your eyes."

If hopelessness has made a home in your heart, it cannot be dislodged easily or all at once. Chip away at it with small victories, moments of hope and defiance. It is not easy and it will take time and effort, but strive to make it an uncomfortable home, a place where despair is no longer welcome.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

Blades '68: Player Principles handout.

A letter-sized handout titled "How to Play Hard and Have Fun in '68". The principles are:
1. Go in boots and all. The campaign will be shorter than you think. Make stuff happen now. Don’t wait, pull the trigger.
2. Dig the other characters. Dial in on the other player characters, pay attention to their narrative, and get your own character involved. Be their fan, or be their foil.
3. Make the GM sweat. Think of the game like a physics toy, and push the levers you have as hard as you can, just to see what happens. Rattle the cage, jump out the window, don’t look down. Move so fast the GM can’t keep up.
4. Sell the punches. Always choose the bigger reaction. Let your character be changed by the world and by the other characters. Let them be upset, emotional, irrational.
5. Fuck around and find out. If your character dies, they can come back as an echo. If they have to retire, you can always make a new character. The crew cannot be stopped. Act first and think later, make bad decisions, let the chips fall where they may.
6: Learn to stop worrying and love consequences. Most rolls are going to have consequences. Wouldn’t it be boring to succeed all the time? Embrace consequences, and create consequences, then roll them up in a giant ball of chaos and surf on top.

They’re not “predicting autism”. They’re delaying support. If you sent in an autistic-led team, we’d get every kid identified in under a year. But instead of listening to us, they gatekeep, pathologize, and act like delay is a breakthrough. It’s not. It’s harm with pride.

There’s an alarm on the side of the building my flat is in, and yesterday it started making a quiet little “chirp” sound, like a fire alarm that’s running low on battery. It’s barely audible, most people wouldn’t even notice it. Chirp, every 42 seconds (I timed it).

Most days I go to bed around half ten, and wake up exhausted. Last night I was extra tired, went to bed at half nine, couldn’t sleep, ended up watching anime until half one, and woke up an hour before my alarm feeling alert and refreshed! I’ll probably regret it later, but so far anime > sleep XD
