Today's word of the day in #Mikmaq
Sinumkw.
Sinumkw is a Canada Goose.
The Canada Goose is also referred to as the Cobra Chicken, those feathered f*cks, and are rumoured to be where Canadians store their anger.
Unacceptable
โcivilian victims of the war died as a result of Ukraineโs decision to locate its forces in the vicinity of civiliansโ
Imagine blaming the civilians of Ukraine for being so irresistible to Russian cruise missiles that itโs their fault for being attacked
The military is stationed by civilians because Russia is attacking civilians
I will no longer donate to amnesty international. What about you?

Aim: destroy Murdoch๐: Carlson was a symptom. The disease is Murdoch. He's been destroying journalism for 50 years. Rupert is worried about Smartmatic. Fox agreed to hand over more docs to their lawyers after the lawyers complained in a letter to the judge about โobvious gapsโ in the material Fox had provided. Judge David Cohen is seeking a โbroadening of discoveryโ -Dominion lawsuit: started the demolition of Murdochโs empire -Smartmatic would finish the job-: https://newrepublic.com/article/172287/rupert-murdoch-must-totally-utterly-humiliated
@Zumbador @actuallyautistic You don't have to be autistic to struggle with false questions. I do. How are you? Gets me every time. Much of the time I feel shit but the expected answer is, 'fine, how are you?' Then there's my wife's, Would you like to...?' Which means, 'I want you to...'

I do something physical, whatever I can; take a fast walk, scrub the kitchen, clean the appliances, mop the floors, anything I can focus on and that will take all my attention. The paced walking I talked about yesterday is good, because I focus on my steps matching the rhythm from my phone. If hubs comes home and every counter is filled with appliances in various states of disassembly so I can thoroughly clean them, he leaves me alone to finish.
Had a lot of stress and anxiety these past few weeks and Iโm feeling that physically right now.
Unfortunately this will go on for at least another week.
What do you do to cope with stress and anxiety? #ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic #autism

Very creamy mac&cheese, or cheese in general, anything with whipped cream, anything with butter.
I've had people joke that I don't have a sweet tooth, I have a fat tooth. Fortunately, my genotype lets me get away with it.
What are your top five comfort/safe foods?
I'll start!;
1. Dark Chocolate hot cocoa. (specifically in my favourite cup)
2. Kinder Bueno Chocolates (the mini ones are my go to)
3. Instant Chicken Flavoured Rice with shredded chicken pieces, and Kewpie mayo on top.
4. Granola bars or cereal, especially with chopped almonds or cranberries
5. Sour Cream and onion ridged chips
(I go for a specific brand for all of these items)

Anything by Scalzi, but particularly "Redshirts". Heinlein feels a little dated, now, but still has a soft spot in my heart. "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich" was the first book I paid for with my own money, I saved up in 5th grade and bought it, after I stumbled across "In The Hell of Auschwitz" in my library. I still have it, and re-read it occasionally.
I'll be taking short medical leave, my friends.
Unsure how long... I'll explain a little later. I'm ok, but concerned.

I'm 70. I suspect there'll be the unexplained emergency from to time from here on in.
To my subscribers? I apologize that I have not been producing as much recently.
I'm going thru a tailspin right now. Happens a fair amount to me. It may or may not be autistic burnout... or an underlying medical condition.
Iโll know more soon. But intend to write brief posts on itโฆ involving autism, aging, body, and mind.
I have about 8 projects near completionโฆ just having difficulty crossing the goal line right now.
I hope you can stick in there with meโฆ
@ElwoodCity @punkonbus1701@tenforward.social @JeriLRyan
Yup, and I followed her account when I first saw it. Seven and The Doctor were my two favorite characters from Voyager.
You mean @JeriLRyan ?
I'm broke today. Just trying to get a hold of myself. Today, children died again.

My followers will know that Korean food is my favorite cuisine and that I love to seek out new restaurants that are accessible for #ActuallyAutistic humans. What is accessible? That we can eat there without a meltdown! Here's my latest find, enjoy!
Hi.
This is your daily reminder that a group of American citizens are being turned into refugees, requiring states to take up legislation that establishes them as a โsanctuary stateโ.
Whoever tells you the United States is free for all, isnโt trans.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
