Whimsyverse (Christopher Graeme / Chris Winchester)

Deceptively simple sentences that can be surprisingly difficult to accurately parse, even in context:
"I did exercise."

[It's adverb day, btw]

The first part, yes, for some things. But the second part is an oversimplification.

[Me, cont:] ...and I know I'm prone to get drawn into philosophical warfare over things that can escalate to scorched-earth levels of miserable bitterness on occasion, so I'm trying to learn to chew my tongue and save my battle faculties for bigger mutual enemies.

🤷🤖🫤

[Me, cont:] ...nor am I likely to be easily persuaded to change my stance, so I'd very much prefer not to get drawn into any fights about it—especially not with friends—... [cont]

[Me:] I genuinely do understand people's many objections, and I genuinely do believe it can be of value; and I think it's possible for those positions to coexist; it's not a perspective I'm willing to invest my very limited executive function in defending at the moment though... [cont]

I found myself writing the following after a friend criticised me for my engagement with LLM AI (I don't use it for writing fiction, but I find it both useful and fascinating to experiment with in many other ways, though the experiments can often be as frustrating as they are enlightening.):

I want to take my experience of mentoring intellectually gifted neurodivergent kids (particularly eclectic homeschoolers / unschoolers) to be able to offer more one-to-one online mentoring/eclectic tutoring to high school age students/young adults. Hm. Easier to explain than I expected... #AuDHD

Doing small things. They add up.

Congrats!! And thank you for being courageous. We need more courage all round 🌻❤️

Tin Hamilton???

Hahahah. The fella's pure gold.

I have to admit you're pretty good at finding these quotes.

arf, arf

Sorry, I think my covid booster may have boosted my silly parts.

Arrrrrrr! 🏴‍☠️🍻

Duh. You, silly.

But, Steve, Steve, I'm in an actual MOVIE Steve.

And I miss you horribly because I forget to visit BlueSky and I am a sieve, Steve. A sieve.

Oh, the movie is called
🎬🎈POP🎈🎬. And it's all Tin Hamilton's fault.

I'm in a movie in 6 days' time. Oh yes. And NZ Equity have let me back in again. The fools! And the premiere has sold out. And the director is a mad genius.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Melted, as Humpty hatched into a hen.

Ever just want to say to hell with it and go play mini-golf and eat ice cream with Foo Fighters' Long Road To Ruin blasting out across the crazy little muthafuckin greens as you windmill your putter with three scoop sundae abandon?

ADHD is accidentally leaving that final parenthesis open. (Autism is being really annoyed that you left that final parenthesis open.

I sometimesoften find myself bleary-teetering somewhere—next to a small flight of stairs or before a doorway or facing a piece of furniture, attempting to focus something (anything really) and mumbling 'uuh—how does this wuurk?' while blinking a bit and wondering if there was caffeine at any point.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social,

Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism.
Looking forward to following you wherever you land,

Your fan, Mar🐫

You know that thing where you realise something so irritatingly profound that you know you need to write a bloody book about it but you also know there is NEVER going to be time or priority to do it because Vogons, but there kind of is, but agh? #AuDHDH #ADHD #TheGirlFromRickmansworth #ffsFrankly
