Thinking of Joanna Russ’s short story about a smart house called β€œNor Custom Stale” (1959). Crossword puzzles and entropy.

Honestly, sounds like a very nice kid. Not saying you do, but it could be recognition and support.

Sadly, access to meetup now has a subscription fee, which I discovered after a multi-year hiatus. If you have access, great. If not, let me know.

I’m offline for a few hours but will check back.

Saying where you live. I can’t do it for a few hours, but by tomorrow. I live in the us west coast time zone for reference.

I lost disability connections when I left Facebook, for similar reasons. Having ethics is hard on connections enabled by profit tech.

Do you live in an urban area? Are there f2f autism folks? Do you want me to check meetup to see if there is a group near you? Happy to do it if you’re comfortable

I also struggle with loneliness and lost relationships. I recently started attending online zoom meetings with people in the autism community. So many of us shared similar stories.

Do you have access to a local group? Can you connect with an online group? Even a few hours a month has helped.

Thank you all for shares & donations! We're sitting at 448.12/$716.55. Only $268.43 left to cover monthly bills/utilities!

I am a disabled queer trans artist, medically complicated & unable to work right now. Any & all help appreciated!

The Picky Eater's Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

I didn’t look at your profile when I answered before, but just now looked and saw your other posts about food. It’s none of my business, but if you want a non-expert opinion from someone in arfid recovery, I would suggest reading this book to see if it resonates: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Taste and texture sensitivity are common with autism. Many people with autism have the ARFID eating disorder, which is the extreme side of the sensitivity spectrum.

If b/millionaires aren’t paying tax and you do a tax holiday, wtf is going to pay for schools and roads?

You are woefully out of touch with the problem. More INCOME INEQUALITY is not a viable solution for workers, much less those unable to work.

We’re in this together. You’re not.

It’s a non-linear process…learning to love yourself.

I don’t know if it’s possible to love myself by not talking. What I do know is that I started caring about myself through talking to people who validated my experience. Self-validation skills followed.

A post that reads: We need $35+ for a meal and $25 for masks urgently please help. i am trying to raise rent and do not have the ability to constantly post, i need more people to advocate for us to stay housed. its much more difficult to advocate to stop an eviction or survive being homeless, i have done it, when people were seemingly more caring about Black lives, maybe not so much disabled people. now we are being monitored & censored doing MA. it is killing us. we need and want to stay alive pls step in.

I recently got an email from a cousin I haven’t seen in 20+ years.

He giggled (in writing) and said something about hoping id found my North Star.

I suspect he used AI to write it.

I’m angry about my suspicion and haven’t replied. Chatgbt up in my relationships without for sure being up in them.
