Trans fans every time we see a character with bandages on their chests because we do not have enough representation so we are forced to claim our own (even if it doesn’t make sense):

So I was told this morning...

"oh sorry, I forgot it was Father's Day. Did you want to order yourself something?"

A) mother's day is never forgotten and I make sure the children and I go all out for that.

B) makes me feel a bit unloved

C) pretty much just tells me you don't know any of my hobbies or interests anymore

D) not even going to try to plan something (granted, I am going to London tomorrow as I have a works conference on Monday and screw doing that rush hour thing but could have planned something else).

Neurodivergence and Jury Duty

This week's blog is about how jury duty selection really doesn't jive with autism.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget I’m autistic. I have sort of built a life for myself where my weaknesses are minimized and my strengths are (mostly) highlighted. My job allows me plenty of decompression time, I can sort of pick my time slot, and my schedule is very predictable 90% of the time. The problem comes when I’m thrown a curve ball, and I’m repeatedly reminded that the world isn’t built for…

Fucking major companies excluding us deaf folks once again.

Tried to go see Barbie with my sister today. Unfortunately, Event Cinemas, which is a major movie brand here in Australia, only have FIVE Captiview machines and they were all being used. There was only one CC session for the whole day so we had to ask for a refund because there is no point in me going to the cinemas without a Captiview available ☹️ *sigh*

Just shocked that a major cinema brand in the middle of the third biggest city in Australia only has FIVE Captiviews available for use! Ridiculous.

I rarely go to the cinemas as it is because finding a suitable CC session that matches everyone else’s schedules can be a pain in the ass. What happens if a group of deaf people want to go see a movie together? Five devices? Just pathetic.

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

Hey, if you do crafts (especially things like crochet, knitting, embroidery, etc), make sure to look up how to identify when a listing is AI generated. You do NOT want to waste money on an incredible looking kit or pattern that is physically impossible to make, especially if you're on sites like etsy hoping to support an actual artist.

they should invent an understanding and intellectualizing your feelings that makes them go away!!!

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

agatha agate has a little spot on the top of her head where her fur is white and it’s very thin and the pink of her skin is a little bit visible all the time. turns out she can get sunburnt there

so now she has this stupid hat.

proud to say that I have never once in my life figured out the whodunit in any crime story I've read or watched. I just let the facts and clues wash over me, absorbing absolutely none of it. I am the audience they think of when they throw in red herrings, in case you've ever wondered "who would fall for this obvious false lead". it's me. I am the idiot viewer/reader. not once has an obviously framed clue revealed anything to me. my head is completely empty when I consume these stories.
