It's been quite a tiring day of telling people to not just say someone with a known diagnosis of NVLD is Autistic because in nearly every instance we tried for an ASD diagnosis and were denied. Please, just recognize NVLD for what it is and stop calling us Nonverbal. We're quite the opposite.

I wish there was a word for... Homesickness, but for a time, not a place. The PA i knew 20 years ago isn't there anymore. The remnants of Old Florida that I spent that time in isn't there any more, either. I'm listening to 90s music, hoping that it'll help me move forward...

I've been doing VHS to DVD conversions lately and it's so surreal to watch home movies of people you only know as acquaintances from before you were born. The road trips and days at the boardwalk are idyllic. Don't worry; your memories are safe with me.

In my #ukulelequest I'm finding inspiration in the 90s. I was a child at the time but so often I find that I'm singing along to these songs even after decades of not hearing them played. Music is really impressive with the way it holds to your memory, no wonder it's used medically to help people.

Anyway. In #ukulelecrimes, I was put on the spot and asked to play without warning. My mind went blank. My fingers tangled. I ended up playing Riptide by Vance Joy for a 70 y/o woman.

In some unholy combination of autism, side sleeping, old mattresses, and being over 35.... I cannot get comfy in my bed lying the normal way anymore. I sleep in a pile of pillows with my feet hanging over the edge and my quarantine pup spooning me.

My first song that I learned on the ukulele was Big Yellow Taxi. She is a self taught musician as well, and her approach to everything is as unique as her music.

I can't believe the number of young guys on various string instruments nailing the riff in Layla over the last few days, including a kid on a lute. They said they want to #makedadrockcoolagain. I've been listening to this stuff since the 90s. It was never uncool.

Anyway, I'm a Ginger but I'm Not Irish. I'm apparently more Scottish and Welsh... And French. Thanks Ancestry for clearing that up. #adoptedkidproblems means you have no documents for anything about yourself, just word of mouth that's probably incorrect.

On a different note, I downloaded Tubi on my phone and started watching classic TV to go to sleep again. The Flying Nun is very charming. It's... Delightfully Anime for 1960s television.

Me, to my professional musician of a mother: why does this one chord have two names even though it's literally the same thing? Mom: one is for people who are classically trained and the other is just a C with a B. Sometimes being fancy doesn't have to be fancy. Sometimes you just slide down.

Just a little reminder that the astrology for March is nuts. Between the eclipse, the retrogrades, and what I believe is a car crash in Neptune ... We're all a little crazy. It's totally okay to blame whatever happens on the heavens above.

I approached @zestydoesthings.bsky.social asking if I could animate one of his illustrations in #spine2d / #2dspine . Lo and behold here is the final product. It was a lot of fun working with his drawing and I'm so thankfully to him for it.

I'm one of the handful of millennials who was able to watch the new #ranma1/2 anime with a clean slate bc I somehow bypassed all of the subs even though I've been watching anime since 1999. It was amazing. Ranma is a genderfluid icon and I'm forever amazed that Rumiko Takahashi had multiple hits

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

I wanted to jumpstart my creative process and went back to my college habit of watching anime while I eat breakfast. It jumpstarted the process-- but I was writing a murder mystery and now I'm writing a story about environmental destruction and stochastic politics. IDK how this happened.

There's no greater relief than getting your hair cut after it becoming so long that it triggers all of your tactile sensory issues no matter what you do. For the record, my hair was shoulder length. The Autism Life is real and I'll gladly rock my pixie cut.

It always feels insane to me that people would rather send death threats to wardens doing their job than research and learn that it's incredibly imunethical and illegal to remove an animal from it's natural habitat.

Mom told me the other day that I should write a book. I wibbled and confessed to writer's block. I then explained today that it's a murder mystery that would need a disclaimer and could have multiple means of resolution. She asked if I was just writing about her, lol, but gave me her blessing.

We have reached the time of year where I have to spend a week delaying my dogs' dinner by an hour so that when the clocks change it's at the usual time again. Mind you-- they already get their dinner an hour and a half early.

The days are getting longer... But the daily chaos isn't helping any lingering SAD. Who wants to go escape to the nearest waterfront with me and watch the birds instead of doom scrolling? We might even catch a nice sunset.

I'm astonished that so many of the songs I love to jam to in the car with the windows down are remixes of the same handful of chords. This isn't bad-- it's the vibes that make the music catchy. I'm just glad I can play Tom Petty. I haven't been at this for long and I can play along to Tom Petty.

Listen. This is important. There’s measles going around. Measles is the one and only thing (that we know of) that can erase your immune memory. It causes immune amnesia. You have to rebuild all your immunity. Go to your doc and get your measles antibodies checked. You do not want immune amnesia.

"why are you like this over a character from a 1979 robot anime" I don't know. They made him with some sort of insane secret sauce that I don't even think Tomino knows the ingredients of. That's why he is still doing this to people almost 50 years later.

Do not watch Mobile Suit Gundam. This asshole (Char Aznable) will move into your brain. You do not want him there.

I heard from a dream analyst on TV that your unconscious mind will always tell you the truth if you ask it questions. I tried that as I was falling asleep last night and got the equivalent of a desk flipped in my face. Repeatedly.

I'm continually annoyed that my state's congressional representatives make me Gender Myself. It's an insult to those of us who are a few steps outside of the binary. I just choose 'Mr. And Mrs ' to screw with them. You don't get to make me gender myself without chaos.

The primary lesson I'm learning from American Manhunt: OJ Simpson on Netflix that can apply to modern day is: if a person is sufficiently famous and wealthy enough, the people with the power to do the right thing will lose their ability to think rationally and will be blind to what is obvious.
