An etiquette question:
How do people feel about posts in here being boosted? If I understand the whole Mastodon thing, boosting it puts it in front of anyone who follows my (as an example) posts and boosts. Many of them aren't associated with this mob. Is that OK? Is that a faux pas? I don't know what to think.

Hello from the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, where I'm doing environmental fieldwork! It's so fun!

I spontaneously went outside to take photos to announce the matte covers have been discontinued then saw my overgrown roses, started deadheading blooms, picking petals for jam, got a sunburned because I hadn't intended to go outside in my jammies, and then began using my workbook as a flower organizing board. By the way, a flower board and a photo prop are not the intended use of this non-diagnostic tool. @actuallyautistic #adhd #audhd #autism #autistic

My bedroom is fitted with color-change LED bulbs, and they simulate a sunrise, from very dim amber to bright white, over a period of 30 minutes.
For night sleeping, I have blackout drapes and the sequence plays in reverse, from bright white to very dim red, with a touch of amber. That way I have sunrise and sunset on my schedule, not whatever random thing the planet decides to do. Stupid planet, with changing daylight hours.

I deliberately have a lot of voices, from very deep and growly bass to second soprano. I also have a wide repertoire of what was always called "weird sounds" that I make. I stopped for years, growing up, then decided it doesn't hurt anyone, I enjoy it, and anyone who doesn't like it can get the hell out of my house.

That could explain my reaction to habanero salsa. There was a restaurant here, years ago, that made an award-winning salsa, and I loved it. It was too hot for everyone else.

I bought a bunch of refills when I found that a 0.7mm Cross ball point is exactly the right line and feel when I use a pen. I also bought 4 pen bodies that fit them, 1 for my checkbook, 1 for my backpack, 1 for my home office, and 1 for my work office. I'm never without the right pen.

I cannot emphasise this enough. #ActuallyAutistic folks MUST start their day with natural light, NOT the light from your phone or light fixtures. It’s such a super boost and help to your regulation. Try it out this week!

I've been seeing a French Bulldog quite often on my morning walk. They are such feisty little characters! So this image is my tribute to that breed. (This is artwork in my continuing series of images with a stained glass effect...not real stained glass!)

Little Man is pushy, he'd never put up with that.
He's also just about deaf, so he wouldn't hear it.

@ScottSoCal @gupton68 When my dog would have a particularly barky/scratchy night, the next day I'd yell any time I caught him sleeping.

@mapache_tico@mastodon.world

And the cat in the sweater is whispering "Drama queen..."

Reflublicans are entering the race because DuhSantis looks so weak. Pussies

I don't always misunderstand or miss a social cue and respond inappropriately but when I do, I do it at the wrong time, and think about it for days. So pretty much always.

@gupton68

Dogs do the same thing. Little Man sleeps all day, so he can scratch at the door to be let out, all night.

How is it fair that the older my cat gets the more she sleeps, whereas I just get less and less?

I seized a day but it fought back and honestly after I get some gauze we need to talk about daily autonomy.
