@merashie @fidalgo @actuallyautistic this convo is giving me flashbacks to debates about queer representation needing to diversify from stereotypes... I remember a show came out with a gay character who was stereotypical, but otherwise pretty developed. Lots of back and forth about whether we should be offended that he had to be stereotypical vs people pointing out that he wasn't unrealistic, just not representative. It's a nuance we need to navigate imo

Today my counsellor/coach asked if I had "delayed sensory processing," then she described it. A rough summary is that it's having too much input and being unable to process it at the time, but then having to take a lot of time in the next few days to process.

So yes, absolutely I have that (it was particularly strong this past week). I do perceive it as being about my emotions, but it could be senses instead or as well.

But I come home and google the phrase, and I instead get only "sensory processing disorder" and universally links to things about children. My guess is that my counsellor was probably talking about the same thing but de-pathologizing and re-contextualizing it. I have only been self-diagnosed for two years and am already tired of every mainstream #Autistic resource being about children and pathologies and nothing about adults nearing burnout in their late 30's after years of working around cognitive differences (me).

I’m pretty sure my husband is going to divorce me if I keep referring to my jean jacket as my jean Jackée.

A lot of 2017 news articles re his ludicrous demand. No evidence that the Queen capitulated. Good on her!
Remember when he wanted to have a Russian style military parade through the streets of DC? Good times.🙄

Did trump actually ride in the golden carriage? I remember that in 2017 he was said to be demanding a procession with a golden carriage ride. It was very controversial and all over the news at the time. I can't find any evidence that the Queen gave in to his inappropriate demand?

Just in case anyone's unclear as to my position on this anachronistic bullsh:t pageantry.

I've hit a new low. 12 asked me for tonkatsu ramen. No time for that... I just fed this kid cup of noodles with dinosaur nuggies on top. Smh.

Being a horrible boss is great for building employee comradery in their shared loathing.

When I was posting over at Saudi-government-funded Twitter, I routinely included outbound links to things I thought other people should see, and got minimal engagement. It turned out that Twitter was actively demoting my efforts to share my sources.

Here, I add links and regularly get dozens to (less often) hundreds of boosts. Because the fediverse is not about deciding things for you (and me). It's about us deciding for ourselves. Which is as it should be.

Good rule.
