In related news, I need to get a bite guard before I grind my teeth down into stumps, so I got a 3-D scan of my teeth and the lady doing the scan told me I have nice teeth and I said "Thanks! Your coworker just cleaned them!" because Iβm an absolute weirdo so now I can never go back.
Planning on attending another nearby #pride2024 celebration tomorrow afternoon. It's about an hour's drive each way, and runs from noon until 10pm. I'm hopeful that I will have the requisite #spoons in order to go the day.
Last time, the crowds didn't overwhelm me, which I was pleased by. I assume that had a lot to to do with being around my tribe.

My life runs on "systems". Saturday is laundry day, the washer takes 50 minutes for a load (sets timer on watch). When the timer goes off I put the washer clothes into the dryer, which takes 70 minutes to dry, put the second load into the washer (sets timer on watch)...
Repeat until the laundry is done, and I put it all away.
Online lets you walk away and come back to it, later, when you've got a different perspective. Online lets you edit and rewrite until what you're putting out is exactly what you mean.
Real life can't be edited, and there's no pause button.
Clothes can't be put away until they're folded/hung properly. Kitchen towels have been an ongoing battle for years - eh, not really a battle, more of a cold war. When I wash kitchen towels I fold them properly and they all fit in the drawer next to the sink - if there are towels in the drawer that hubs folded I take them out and refold them, so everything fits. He folds them wrong, and they don't all fit.
@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Does it bother anyone else when someone folds your laundry for you? I do appreciate the effort and the intention, but half the time I have to go back and refold everything because it wasnβt folded the way I need it to be for me to put it away or organize it properly. I would rather just do all the folding myself lol. Idk, I know that probably seems selfish but it does irk me sometimes.
Within the last 12 months I heard someone use that tired old sexist line about a woman (a co-worker) should smile more, to get along in the workplace.
She's a PhD mechanical engineer, she doesn't have to smile if she doesn't want to.

Unless you're English, and then you say "biscuit" 6 times, because English people use the wrong words for things.

I'd love to, but I can't. It's an actual book intended to teach home-schooled children from a biblical viewpoint. That graphic cuts off the bottom of the page, where it has a bible quote about thunder.

In the vein of "not understanding", I offer this as an example of what many hom skoold children get. It would fit perfectly in the movie Idiocracy.
