^^This, right here. Me, too.^^

Luck, privilege, and pure chance have given me a much better life than I could have expected. Hard work too, sure, but those first things had more to do with it.

Today sharing about my time in the tech hotspot of Cambridge when that town lead the world in affordable home computers and you couldn't move for young bright things making startups, and I had the most amazing job...

I'm acknowledging that while my undiagnosed #ActuallyAutistic self made life hell, it along with a good dollop of blind chance, also enabled me to have an incredibly interesting and privileged life,.

I won't say that being #autistic rocks but it wasn't all bad.

Going out for a bit with no functioning AC in the car was a BAD IDEA. Windows down, air outside is HOT. Home now trying to cool down. I grew up in Greece in the 80s and it was never like this. Now you can’t leave the house without water and AC during the summer months. In freaking Canada.

I don't usually dabble with Photoshop, but this had to be made for a response somewhere else. Now I'm releasing it into the wild, to let it spread (or not) as people decide. Tags, for the people who filter out:

I'm going to do an open mic tomorrow afternoon (comedy). I did one last month and it went well. I'm hoping this one will be better.

Wish me luck.

I relate to this so much right now! #AuDHD

My plant life brings all the bees to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge

There's a beautiful #lavender #bush absolutely filled with #bumblebees in my neighbourhood. They might be hard to spot on the photograph.

Every time I walk by I pause to enjoy their buzzing. Bumble bees make me happy. :blobuwu: #bloomscrolling

Iggy has been holding on to this celery for an hour so far. She's been showing it to anyone who is at all mildly interested. Like you.

This day in history. 1976. Canada's parliament abolished capital punishment even though they'd heard William Shatner's version of Mr Tambourine Man.
