Dear #Autiverse, how do you handle brain fog? It's been near unbearable for days now, can't think / concentrate. Suggestions / ideas welcome.

@nprofile…t5r6 now if only they would add a seed library... that said, there isn't as much space to plant in this city as I'd like.

@nprofile…t5r6 YES I love libraries. Also one of the few places you can actually go, sit down, and not have to purchase anything. And our library has added a 'library of things' where you can borrow stuff you would otherwise have to buy - technical stuff, tools, games, etc

@npub1kkp…5sfx I've been trying to figure out how to write CNF flash. Wishing I could take a workshop to learn the ropes, but with time I'm sure I'll either figure it out or find another means of expressing what I want to say.

@npub1k6h…0wx7 is this cherry? In any case, it turned out great!

so... Photobucket is going to sell / use user content, including biometrics etc, and if you want to delete your account you have first AGREE to the new ToS to sign in. Wtf. The contact form / support request form may or may not be broken, so yeah.

@npub1kkp…5sfx yeah, I miss that place. That said, I also miss having enough disposable income to actually go to a cafe once or twice a week and purchase a beverage and a sandwich. Ah well.

Got an acceptance from a journal I've been sending work to for like a decade. Sharing this to encourage you to keep trying. #writinglife #mastopoets @npub1zuu…xw2z #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

Dear fellow neurodivergent peeps / @npub1mew…tau6 , I'd like to look deeper into #autisticculture - I'd love your input.
If you can recommend any books / art / music by Autistic people, I'd love to hear about it.
If there already is a resource for Autistic culture, I'd love to know about it. If there isn't one, I'll consolidate what I find here & elsewhere on my website / blog.
Please share, comment, link - I want to learn! #ActuallyAutistc

@npub1kkp…5sfx re: your post on therapy in sci-fi... I'd like to add Lost in Space's Dr.Smith to the list of the baddies... even if she's only pretending to be a therapist. Weaponizing therapy. (shudders)

@npub1kkp…5sfx I've got a blog, too - I talk about books I've read. You can find it here: http://outsideofacat.wordpress.com
Have you read Cranor / Matthewson's "You feel it just below the ribs"? I think it might interest you. I've written a blog post about it, too, but that's full of spoilers, so be warned. http://outsideofacat.wordpress.com/2022/01/17/you-feel-it-just-below-the-ribs-cranor-mathewson/

@npub1gvl…8ag7 I've bought books by writers I've previously read and liked, even with no interest in the subject. A really good writer can get me interested despite myself. :) Not quite the same, but...
