D is so good to me. He's going to grab me a sandwich from my favorite place because I feel so icky and I haven't really eaten anything. I love this man so much ❤️

This sucks. It's less bad than the actual infection would be, but I'm still in pain. I'm hungry but I can't eat anything and I cant sleep right. At least it's a response from my immune system, and when it's done I will be safe from this particular evil. (small whine of discomfort)

Just got my covid jab for this year. I got the flu vax last week, so I'm good. Fuck RFK and every idiot who follows his nonsense.

Arachnophobia is still one of the best Creature Features! Zero CGI and excellent performances by everyone, especially the spiders themselves...

Wow. I just counted my shelves and I have 81 books on Witchcraft! This pleases me. I've spent roughly 27 years building that section, so it's good to see some progress.

VNV Nation, symphonic (Resonance album). Their music is essential to who my MCs are as people; it would be impossible to imagine a project without them.

When Kieran Rose announced his prostate cancer diagnosis there was a huge outpouring of sadness, love and gratitude from the Autistic community.

So many stories were shared on social media about how wholly life-changing – or life-saving – Kieran's work as The Autistic Advocate is for so many people around the world.

Kieran has given vast numbers of people the understanding they need to accept themselves and others; to be better people, parents and professionals; or even to still be alive today.

Kieran has been, and remains, instrumental in shifting the narrative around autism and Autistic people from pathologisation, disorder and stigma, to difference, disability and hope.

The Autistic Advocate is not just Kieran. His wife, Michelle, works behind the scenes doing admin and everything that makes their life-changing work possible. Their vital work supports the family, including their three children.

Kieran’s capacity is severely curtailed during treatment and convalescence. Meanwhile, bills still have to be paid.

Kieran and Michelle give so much to Autistic people, families, and the professionals who support them. Now they need our support too.

Whatever you can give will help relieve some of the financial pressure and help them focus on getting through this as a family. If you aren't in a position to help financially, please share.

" None of this is about me. It's about a collective us. A group of us, diagnosed and undiagnosed who share collective difficulties and experiences; who deserve better than we got, than we are getting. It's about recognising that we are invested in a civil rights movement for Autistic people, that Autistic culture is a valid reality." - Kieran Rose

Econ 101

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Mine wasn't a movie; it was the old station IDs for PBS. Those are SO eerie and jarring! I hated them and would run away from the living room! I was only 4, but the sound of those still creep me out a bit.

It did come out well! Delicious, in fact! That Instant pot has been the best thing in my kitchen; it took only 17 minutes to make a lovely soup from scratch. This would have taken all day without it.

Season's first batch of pumpkin soup is on! Baby carrots, roasted pumpkin, garlic, sweet peppers and herb stock, plus a bundle of fresh herbs. I hope it turns out well.

A silver pot contains an array of colorful vegetables and a bunch of herbs.

Waiting for more book mail...sigh...I did just order them this morning, but the point stands. I have fresh pumpkin sections in the oven for dinner and/or soup, depending on how I feel when they're done.

3 ingredient peanut butter cookies: 1 oven @ 350 1 cookie sheet 1 cup of Jif (it's gluten free) 1 cup of sugar 1 egg Mix ingredients and roll them into walnut size balls. Place them 1 inch apart on the sheet and gently press with fork to make patterns. Bake for exactly 8 minutes, let cool 5.

It doesn't linger at all, it's very quick. I was concerned about it too, but it's barely there, really. The rest of the movie is pretty good (imho).

Urgh...this flu vax is more kind than others I've had, but I still feel vaguely icky. That's a good thing, I know, but it still isn't really fun.

Got my flu shot and fresh blood draws, did the shopping, and now I get to do dishes and cook for later. Busy Fox!

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

I love this movie too. It feels like so much more is being shown to you without anyone explaining; as if you walked in on a conversation of grave importance that wasn't quite meant for you. Definitely worth the time.

I agree. Many of them didn’t care, some joined in. There were a few outstanding teachers I had who did care, and I'm forever grateful to them; especially the Librarians.

My favorite was "Just ignore them", and "If you weren't different, they wouldn't bother you". Really?! No shit!! Let me just change my entire neurology and somehow not be in poverty, would that work?! When I tried being different, I just got beaten worse! It changed nothing.

simonb202.bsky.social @simonb202.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I do not like this. Lingering nightmare leaves apprehension behind. Hedgehog's dilemma; be alone or accept getting hurt by people who don't care. Such is life, and dreams. Now for coffee and pants.

Hey y’all. For those who don’t know, last night I suffered a mild heart attack and had emergency surgery on my aortic valve. I am doing okay. Just a lot of pain. If anyone could share my links around, that’d be greatly appreciated 🫶💚 ko-fi.com/sagethespirit paypal.me/adventurepal...
