New followers: Hi! I'm Zoë. I also answer to "Hey, you, please put down the guitar you're giving me a migraine!"

I'm currently battling a WICKED bad cold, so my posts are more all over the place than usual. But I post aboutprogramming, music, fiction writing, ADHD advocacy, and trans stuff 💙
I've never intentionally written an autistic coded character before. I've definitely put parts of my AUDHD self into my characters, but doing it intentionally is a lot of fun.

She isn't even the MC, but I'm enjoying dropping the little "If you know y ou know" hints most won't catch XD

and this carries over from attracting partners to keeping them, which means that even the people who find a way to attract someone while behaving this way still end up miserable

being toxic and shitty to your partner won’t make you happy either
I think an important thing to understand about brofluencer ideology is that they do not just deny that being toxic and shitty makes you a less appealing partner, they insist that women are only genuinely attracted to toxic and shitty men and being kind will instead make women lose respect for you.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Metal covers are my new obsession and I refuse to apologize for it. ESPECIALLY Small Town Titans covers. Ho-lee crap these guys are amazing 🤘

LMAO I LOVE this. In 1992 Weird Al actually asked Curt Cobain for his blessing to parody "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Curt reportedly asked, "Oh yeah, it's about food right?"

And Al was like "No, actually it's about how nobody can understand your lyrics"
And Curt thought this was *hilarious*.

I finished rewriting the first chapter of my new project - whether that's going to be a novel or a serial/series I haven't decided yet. Right now I'm just letting the characters tell me their story.

But I've already made myself laugh several times and cry once, so that's a good sign

Oh holy shit. The first successful transplant of a 3D PRINTED CORNEA just happened last month, restoring a 70 year old patient's sight.

This is freaking amazing because cornea tissue is in ferociously low supply, and an artificial cornea comes with its own problems.

i don’t want to post spoilers but the ending of better call saul is the closest i’ve ever seen a showrunner come to stepping through the tv and shaking individual audience members and slapping them directly in the face

Okay, don't get me wrong. I LOVE "Hallelujah" and its deeper meaning, about finding your own Hallelujah wherever you can.

But it continues to crack me up to no end when I hear it sung unirohnically as a Christmas song, especially the unambiguous BDSM verse, finding your hallelujah through being-

I don't normally listen to growly death metal. It's just not usually my thing. But something about a death metal cover of Christmas music tickles my brain in all the right ways lmao

Oh hell yes. Spotify's "Metal Christmas" playlist includes some choice tracks from Trans-Siberian Orchestra and I am here for it

Okay, while I'm in a really good mood and feeling insanely creative, I'm going to actually sit my ass down and work on my novel for a couple of hours (No, not that one, the OTHER novel. The new one I haven't talked about yet. Why are you backing away slowly like that?)

Giving away a million dollar idea, since it's already too late, but hey.

It's the 25th anniversary of the live action Grinch movie, and the Grinch is EVERYWHERE. Merch, parade floats. McDonalds could have repurposed the Shamrock Shake as a Grinch Shake and made bank XD

So, fun fact about me. I don't lie. At all. I am capable of lying, but only if I absolutely *have* to, and even then, I despise it.

My downfall is that, once I trust someone enough to consider them a friend, I automatically tend to think they're always truthful, even as they're taking advantage-

I wonder if Netflix is still full anti-transgender culture in 2025 because I haven't had a subscription since they basically fired every openly trans staff member years ago, and them buying WB is the only thing that MIGHT get me to come back especially since they're ditching Discovery in the process

Find the little things that help. Even if you don't have access to, like, laser or electrolysis, see if waxing or daily shaving helps. Find clothes that accentuate the features you like about yourself. And most of all, know that you're still very much a woman no matter what your brain worms can say.

Sometimes you have to just whole ass delete an entire first chapter or first draft of a story because it doesn't work, and that's okay.

Far from being the natural disaster most people think, forest fires burn away the old and dead, so new seeds can grow back even stronger

Just wanted to say congratulations to Cryptic and Arc Games on being able to successfully buy themselves out from under Embracer Group and wish you all the best in the worl!

I hate that it came at the cost of so many OG Cryptic staff leaving in the past 5 years, but not many studios get this chance

The early 00s was a fucking wild time for internet meme culture. To this day I can sing "I think I'll moo-ve" and know with certainty that the other person will either

A) get the reference and
1) laugh out loud or
2) back away slowly
or
B) Stare at me blankly because they don't know BDSM cow

2:30 am waiting for the chamomile mint tea to kick in so I can go to bed, and just sitting here giggling like an idiot at my timeline

I think that means it's starting to work ^_^

Now everything is showing me recaps. This is getting out of hand. My toilet just recaped how many times I went pee in 2025.

Chamomile mint tea with a teaspoon of Stevia and a teaspoon of pure raw honey is HEAVENLY y'all. You don't even taste the Stevia. The mint and honey overpower its usual aftertaste (which I don't mind, but can still usually taste)
