Am trying not to be a downer everywhere else (not necessarily succeeding) but aaaaaargh. And having foolishly booked grocery delivery for later can’t even self refer for a whinge at the crisis cafe where they have to put up with it

Dressing myself this morning and grabbing toward a t-shirt and my brain said "no, not that one, that's a SPECIAL OCCASION t-shirt" and then I sat my brain down and had a short little discussion about the fundamental everyday nature of t-shirts

So weird that in the past a safeguarding panel said I was to call the police if my mum ever turned up at my house, yet tomorrow her ashes are being delivered to my house. Merry Christmas eh?
Why on earth did I agree to this

Got the wrong end of the cat and instead of a gentle shoulder pet accidentally squeezed his little buttock. None of us are happy about this
We are now sat at a warily polite distance from each other on the sofa

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

There’s this weird niche on twitter of vaguely rw women in their late 50’s who write posts about Christmas shopping being stressful or complaining about the weather, with an unrelated ‘accidental’ photo of their thighs or braless tits in a tight jumper and they are always ‘happily married, no DMs’

Missed the phone referral deadline for going to the crisis cafe service today so just making do with instant coffee & existential angst at home. Admittedly you only get 45 minutes counselling per session, and I’d have had to put ‘appropriate for leaving the house’ clothing on

Still haven’t told the rabidly evangelical relative my mum died as cannot stomach the endless barrage of religion I’ll get as response. Or that they’ll try to insist on a church service my mum never wanted and i can’t afford

Hi! I'm someone who has the audacity to be brown and autistic on the Internet, and I wrote this piece because I'm also too audacious to care about whether I make certain people uncomfortable. It's not about you! But if you THINK it's about you, then it most definitely is. Hope this helps!
Hapworth's autistic sense of justice never strays far from her side, but was suspiciously absent when Hapworth was accused of being racially insensitive, leading many to believe it had wandered off.
Missing! “Autistic sense of justice” nowhere to be found when it’s time to talk about race
A woman’s "autistic sense of justice" has been reported missing after it failed to appear when it was time to talk about racism in the autistic community, sources have said. Beth Hapworth, 26, uses…

Idk if it remained part of autism diagnosis but having ‘struggles to form and maintain close friendships and relationships’ as not just a criteria but emphasised in my assessment report felt and feels a lot like a terrible curse. Especially as it clearly doesn’t hold true for other autistic people
