After the last week, I needed a comfort movie. I don't care how many times I watch it, it always makes me feel better.

What do you watch to feel better?

Since apparently #introduction posts are important here is mine!

A few weeks ago, I was very surprised to receive an email that my story, β€œTwo Hands, Wrapped in Gold,” had been nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novelette. As is customary, the awards team asked if I wished to accept the nomination or withdraw it from consideration. Unfortunately, I’ve decided to choose the latter option.

The dangers of Australia are exaggerated by the media. The truth is that at least 62% of Australian children reach adulthood without being consumed by predators. Not bad!

@actuallyautistic So I went to my event today. As I was waiting in line to order at the counter, I noticed I was flat out stimming. Not stimming to music, not secretly stimmings. I was stimming in the open. I was tapping my fists together. The middle phalanges of the left fist were hitting the base phalanges of the right.

I went down to sit with my coffee and waited for my food to arrive, and I continued stimming. Whenever my hands were not busy with something else I was stimming. My forms of stimming changed. Sometimes I was tapping my fists, sometimes I played the imaginary piano on the table.

My paresthesia was much lower during this event. I think the stimming was actually helping reduce the impact of social anxiety.

Nobody gave me grief over it. I openly told people that I'm autistic. One lady told me her 12yo daughter is also autistic.

I know I stimmed like this when I was younger, but I don't recall the details.

I'm learning to drop the mask.

every month I host a virtual coffee chat for autistic entrepreneurs & social entrepreneurs to connect, network, share their ideas, and discuss their successes & challenges as autistic leaders in the business & non-profit world.

Who the fukc eats a taco from the top?

Trump promised the "best economy ever."

Biden actually delivered it:

β€’ 17 straight months of sub-4% unemployment, the longest stretch of sub-4% unemployment in over 50 years

β€’ Labor force participation for prime-working-age Americans at a 22-year high

β€’ 13.2 million jobs created since Biden took office

β€’ Wages rising faster than inflation

β€’ Inflation and unemployment both lower than when Reagan won a landslide reelection in 1984

I’m on a short road trip to the Pacific Ocean for a writing retreat with two of my favorite people! And I forgot to bring my traveling copy of Late-Identified #AuDHD A Starter Workbook. Do I need to take this workbook traveling with around the state? No, but it’s fun. πŸ₯° Check out these older traveling photos from close to Mt. Baker.

@ScottSoCal

From what the technician said to me it seems like everyone finds it traumatic - it’s just for some people the response to it is to shut down so they don’t β€˜feel’ it the same way. I guess I was just lucky to fall in to that camp.

I hope that the information they get from it makes it worth having gone through it.
