A professor made fun of me for studying so many languages. “Don’t you ever feel like just playing some video games?” Little does he know, I game for hours a day. I didn’t give up video games for my studies, I gave up socializing, which I never liked anyway! I have priorities! #Autistic

Kiddo is getting a haircut, & I’m suffering along with her in #AuDHD sympathy. Her hair was VERY tangled, & the back of her neck is sensitive, so she cried when they combed it…now there’s hair in her face, & spray in her eyes, & the apron constricts her hands, & she has to stay still…😫 #Autistic

It turns out my myth & religion special interest is fairly broad, actually. It isn’t infinite; I can’t make myself care about most modern topics. But I can get excited about Medieval Islamic history pretty easily. Lucky, since I need to teach it. #Autistic

Everyone is going to have to bear with me while I learn Islamic history. I know approximately none of it, but I’m enjoying every minute, & I can’t help sharing whatever interests me 😅 #Infodump #Autistic

Today, I read about a young Near Eastern prince, the last of his line, who fled West, through Notth Africa, before founding a new empire in Western Europe. What? No, not Aeneas! Abd al-Rahman, last survivor of the Damascus-based Umayyad dynasty, who founded a new Umayyad Emirate in Iberia in 755 😜

Lolol I already have the book for this class. I read it for fun a few years ago….Levine’s “Visual Judaism in Late Antiquity.” At least I don’t have to spend any money on new course materials 😂 #Autistic #Autodidact
