Best ice cream I’ve ever made, possibly ever HAD, is condensed milk mixed with whipped cream. Straight in the freezer, no need to churn!
My fav flavour combo is to fold in some white chocolate ganache and cream cheese, and then ripple through raspberry coulis.

And I don’t even have it that bad, once I get going I’m pretty good at interacting with people!! It’s just the initial push & if it’s in a crowded, noisy space like a con — which in so many cases it seems to be. I suspect it’s difficult for physically disabled people too!

I appreciate his honesty and tbh I have had writer’s block for almost a decade now (including through both my degrees) so it’s not been a massive issue for me… but I do still struggle with how many careers require networking, and how that affects autistic folks.

Had a lecture about writing for franchises & prof said that the best way to get work was to go to cons and talk to people in the industry. I said I’m autistic & can’t cope with crowds, is there any alternative? And he said (very nicely) no, i wish there was, but it just might not be the path for you

we do get a pop up if they’ve borrowed a book before and a lot of customers come to the desk specifically so they can check if they’ve read something, as the user side website cuts off the history after a certain number of books…

at my library we can see the issue history on individual items since we started using the current LMS - I have to assume the data is wiped after a certain number of years cos of GDPR but we’ve only had the software since… 2021? - but afaik we can’t see users’ borrowing history

Had a customer yesterday ask me how I managed without using AI. I asked him how he managed before it and he genuinely said, “I thought.”
I explained a little bit about why I don’t use it and he said he’d consider it (seemed genuine) so that’s something
