@Chronomyst there's also no team in guillotine

Video's just been given parole. Radio Star's family are said to be livid.

Fuck Reddit. I think I'm going to delete my account

If you’d asked me just twelve hours ago whether I hoped to be able to post a picture for #Caturday, I would have said “no”.

I would have said I’d given up all hope of #Tigger coming home after 26 days away 😿

And I would have been wrong 😱

As it is, I’m just amazed & grateful that he returned shortly after midnight last night. Very skinny, but otherwise seemingly well & very loud 😺🥰

Thank you to everyone who kept hoping 🙇‍♂️🙂👍

However sad you think your sad is, your sad is not as sad as this sad is.

Here’s a little preview of my shoes I’m wearing in the Pride Parade tomorrow night.

@actuallyautistic Me (closes the back door and goes out to engage with the lawn-mower guy who needs the gate unlocked. Returns to report that the covering of the food is gonna have to wait while I unlock the gate; partner takes over gate duty; I return to covering the food.) My brain:

@actuallyautistic a big part of that rebuilding, has been a process of being brutally honest with myself about how people see me. I'm lucky that my husband is so perceptive and emotionally intelligent because it's given me Intel I can rely on that isn't filtered through my own anxiety.
I've come to realize that people find me *intense*. Many say I'm too intense, but there's plenty of people who would call it "badass" or "passionate". My new strategy is to play to those people

@actuallyautistic As a performer, I learned that to get over stage fright, I need to focus on even just one person in the audience who I know is rooting for me. Forget the rest is there if I have to. I'm now applying this to life. I have superficial, rote responses for those who can't handle me. But instead of thinking about my manner as something I should be grateful anyone puts up with, I've started framing people who appreciate it as the lucky few who deserve access to my many hidden talents

OMG. 🤦‍♀️😂

Where are the #ActuallyAutistic artists out here?

Share your work!

@btaroli @stephenczetty @cinja @cadenza @actuallyautistic exactly. I'd always felt very guilty and shameful bc I'd learned a simplistic (catholic) view of "lying". there are so many values and needs that sit higher on the priority list than thinking about how closely our language-based communication "matches" the truth as it's accepted by an oppressive system and the moral majority

dammit

then there's lying about how stole the cookies, which is never acceptable

I'm now doing UNIX administration (not full time) for more than 25 years. And yet only today I learned about a cli tool called "comm". 🤯

Ever needed to know which lines in a text file are not in another file , or which are in both?

comm A B compares two sorted text files and outputs three columns: one with lines only in A, one with lines only in B and one only with lines in both files.

And you can switch off each column with cli arguments.

I want the years back I fought with shell scripts!

It might be called the “safety dance” but somehow I put two people in the hospital while attempting it.

@kevinrns Musk is one of the cogs in a global RW fascist insurgency. This is a global emergency

A barred jungle owlet gets a very different perspective on the world! 🦉

Owls have eyes that cannot turn and only face forward, so to compensate, their necks are constructed to swivel nearly 270 degrees in order to allow them to assess their environment.

@BigAngBlack threw out a prompt for great fathers. I don't know if my father was "great," not sure what that would mean but he was a good father. He did his best during a time when all Black men were catching hell daily but particularly Black men who had his darker complexion. He got up every day, went to work and helped my mom build a strong family.
