@merashie @fidalgo @actuallyautistic this convo is giving me flashbacks to debates about queer representation needing to diversify from stereotypes... I remember a show came out with a gay character who was stereotypical, but otherwise pretty developed. Lots of back and forth about whether we should be offended that he had to be stereotypical vs people pointing out that he wasn't unrealistic, just not representative. It's a nuance we need to navigate imo

Today my counsellor/coach asked if I had "delayed sensory processing," then she described it. A rough summary is that it's having too much input and being unable to process it at the time, but then having to take a lot of time in the next few days to process.

So yes, absolutely I have that (it was particularly strong this past week). I do perceive it as being about my emotions, but it could be senses instead or as well.

But I come home and google the phrase, and I instead get only "sensory processing disorder" and universally links to things about children. My guess is that my counsellor was probably talking about the same thing but de-pathologizing and re-contextualizing it. I have only been self-diagnosed for two years and am already tired of every mainstream #Autistic resource being about children and pathologies and nothing about adults nearing burnout in their late 30's after years of working around cognitive differences (me).

I’m pretty sure my husband is going to divorce me if I keep referring to my jean jacket as my jean JackΓ©e.

Looking closely at the photo of a turd in a carriage, the shadow on his shirt and lapel don't match anything that could be coming from the carriage. My guess is that the photo is fake. But I won't bet my next paycheck on it.

I don't know if it's real or not.
"Okay, so President Trump probably won’t be taking the Tube during his upcoming visit to London, but he won’t be riding in a gold-plated carriage fit for royalty, either."

A lot of 2017 news articles re his ludicrous demand. No evidence that the Queen capitulated. Good on her!
Remember when he wanted to have a Russian style military parade through the streets of DC? Good times.πŸ™„

I remember him being in a snit because he didn't get to ride in it. I haven't looked anything up.

@Threadbane @LetsRoc @DemocracySpot @1finekitty
Did trump actually ride in the golden carriage? I remember that in 2017 he was said to be demanding a procession with a golden carriage ride. It was very controversial and all over the news at the time. I can't find any evidence that the Queen gave in to his inappropriate demand?

Just in case anyone's unclear as to my position on this anachronistic bullsh:t pageantry.

I've hit a new low. 12 asked me for tonkatsu ramen. No time for that... I just fed this kid cup of noodles with dinosaur nuggies on top. Smh.

Something else that would work is ending it with "for me".
Monogamy is the natural state, for me. It may or may not be for anyone else.
