@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic it's SO frustrating. It happens A LOT on Disney + and immediately shut down the app, also, sometimes I download the content.
I bought new carpet and install for parts of my house, and it was installed today. When they showed up, they looked at everything, the lead pulled me outside to show me the roll, and explained that carpet is only sold in full rolls - I'd paid for all of it, enough to also do the two spare bedrooms. He said if I wanted to pay him some extra - in cash - they'd also clear out those rooms and install it there. I'm sure it was so they could keep the cash and not cut their boss in.
OK, that's fine.
I'm Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) and when I am in a safe space, I have a tendency of nesting!

So happy to say that I got my own copy of Julia Shaw's "Bi - the hidden culture, history, and science of bisexuality" 
β 
β This book is really fantastic and makes me feel so happy and proud to be Bisexual. Wishing all my queer friends a wonderful day

@theautisticcoach Interestingly, in my family it wasn't I that seemed to inhale my food.
It was my dad.
He'd eat in two seconds and then impatiently wait for the rest of the family to be done. My sisters and mom picked up on it, I ended up going slower, just kind of on ... principle, I guess?
(this is the same dad who was very extroverted and loved being around people, and who after dinner with friends took a nap on the sofa. From when he was in his 30s, at least. I am pretty much assuming he was autistic)
Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades pick their nails until they get infected or bleed?
If so, youβre not alone.
HEY #PAYPAL USERS! WATCH OUT!
On the web interface PayPal just introduced a new dark pattern #enshittification to the transfer-balance-to-bank-account process to trick the user into electing the premium and quite expensive "immediate transfer" option, instead of choosing the free 1-3 day option.
When you initiate a transfer, this is now what shows up:
If any of you ever decide you want to see, in a vivid and exaggerated way, what it looks like when people scramble to meet your needs - go out in public on crutches. π€£
Sprinting to open doors for me, giving me all the space I could use, standing back to let me go by. Apologizing profusely if they interfere with my progress in any way. I found it very funny, in a nice kind of way.
We were supposed to get new carpet installed yesterday - while I was at work and hubs (who isn't bothered by this kind of thing) was here. I pay for things, I don't supervise their installation. Carpet guys had an install at the beach yesterday, and their truck got stuck in the sand. Rescheduled for today. Now I'm in the middle of hammering, ripping, dogs barking, and strangers everywhere, and I'm not having a good time.

If being #ActuallyAutistic is like having a different OS from the mainstream, than #AutisticMasking is like having to run everything on WINE
In case you were wondering, the traditional order according to the Roman Catholic Church is:
June: Lesbian Pride Month
July: Gay Greed Month
August: Bisexual Lust Month
September: Trans Envy Month
October: Queer Gluttony Month
November: Intersex Wrath Month
December: Asexual Sloth Month
I just read a post by someone who complained that everything they said, someone complained about it being racist, anti-Semitic, or homophobic.
My solution? Stop saying things that are racist, anti-Semitic, or homophobic.
I had misunderstood what "Checks & Balances" meant in my civics education. Apparently it means that the balance is tipped in favor of whoever can write the biggest checks to legislators & justices.
Hello sunny memories of a day in #Williamsburg #Virginia

My wife has a soft spot for Tiki bars. It's been a while since we moved up to the Portland Oregon area, and I'm going to take her to this bar/restaurant for dinner, the second oldest one in America, as a surprise. It's 75 years old. She's not on Mastodon but...don't tell her. The sign is real Americana kitsch.

You joke, but that's pretty much what happened.
"Why am I fixing this door? I never liked this door." New door.
"Why am I installing a new door on this ugly tile? I never liked this tile." New tile.
"Why am I leaving these ugly old shower fixtures? I never liked these fixtures." New fixtures.

I have two words to say to this radical Supreme Court: Term Limits
(Actually I have another two words to say to them, but Iβll keep them to myself.)
