Had to share this life hack my mom taught me.

When you're moving (or just wanting to move your furniture), measure your rooms and furniture. Then get yourself some grid paper, draw your rooms to scale, and then cut out pieces for your furniture. It's much easier to move around bits of paper over and over than full size couches and beds to figure out where they'll fit.

Once you're happy with the layout, tape down the pieces. On moving day, you'll know exactly where everything will go, and that it will fit the first time. It's low tech, but it works.

PS: We made little pop-up book foldables for the recliners, so we'd know how much room they'd need to recline, which made us feel pretty smart.

want to talk about my aac use a little bit

I'm semiverbal/semispeaking so part of the time I am able to use mouth words but it is still really difficult

(not just to get the words out of my mouth but also to get them out the right way, right order, right pronounce, not to squished together or to slow, etc... i also have lots of pauses and gestures that interrupt my speech which cuts sentences short or just disrupts the flow... there almost never a time when I fully communicate the idea in my head the way I want without using aac)

i use aac part of the time. i do have aac apps, but only have access to a phone and not other device like tablet

this means the screen is not really big enough and I cannot access the app in a way that is easy enough to be useful for me

i also have text to speech on my phone because I am able to write (especially if I have spell check)

but if I am stimming to much to type or the words in my brain are still not in the right order then text to speech can be difficult

this all leads me to my point which is that i use a lot of low tech and no tech aac

mostly core boards, small flipbooks, printed keyboards/letterboards, communication cards, gestures, noises, and echolalia

lots of the time i also just stay wordless, sometimes the aac is too hard or I cant answer the question or the person I need to tell will not accept aac as communication

lots of people think of these resources as only for kids, only for extremely severe/profound disabilities, less valid, non communicative, and lots of other things.

i hope these ideas will be less someday and other people will respect my aac use as valid when I want to share what I have to say

horrible horrible feeling of someone trusting you enough to ask for help and then you try and you can't </3

Anyway my dad is like, really insisting I need to go into IT (which I don’t necessarily disagree with) because I like. Know how to use basic things on my computer (like, I knew what regedit was and told him how to shut off the new ai thing on windows 11) and I was like. Dude you built the network infrastructure at your current job, how dire of straits are we in right now?????

Oddly fitting that my most noteworthy post is the Voy crew hocking 90s tech when I spent the last 4 years desperately trying to get rid of 90s tech

god u know when there was like. a whole hippie movement. can we pleasee make an anti-tech movement. like ik that exists but i mean a BIG WIDESPREAD one. & like not a crazy one but a positive & chill one, like we can def use helpful & necessary technology but generally no social media and prob no streaming platforms either. if companies are doing shitty things with tech we won’t stand for it. using “outdated” things like physical media & wtv. engaging with your local community more if that’s viable. going to random knitting club meetings at the library or smth. volunteering. there’d be no rejection of people who didn’t do these things, just encouragement to move away from the worst parts of tech and do what works for you, even if that means social media (although i feel like it’s VERY hard to use social media healthily now). idk i just feel so poisoned by technology at this point i want to LIVE

I haven't gotten very far in Starfield yet but looking back it's kinda hilarious that I basically went to the character creator and I guess subconsciously decided "I'm gonna make her the exact opposite of my CP2077 character" right down to them having the exact opposite hair color.

To everybody claiming that luigi mangione really is the guy.

This is the manifesto the cops say they found

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

like "ohh yeah we got our guy, he was holding the murder weapon, a manifesto that says "Hey feds! I did that crime and did it with this gun!! this is because the US has the most expensive healthcare but we don't even live as long as some other countries? and its the fault of the american public who I hate!" anne 10 grand! is obvious that this is our guy, and he's just a low down criminal who hates your! the american public"

also if they did find him with that why would he respond to their arrest with immediate legal defense rather than dignified resignation like the manifesto implies.

Me: I'm doing so well. Maybe being potentially autistic is inaccurate, and it's all just the ADHD.

Three aggressive shutdowns in three days that I have to partially or completely push through to the point my thoughts have trouble leaving my mouth later...

Me: yeah, this isn't normal.

Ohhhh i do not think I just go for a normal blood test to get tested for Lyme I see…. :’) Part of me wants to know more to be prepared + because it might be perfectly fine and not scary but part of me doesn’t wanna scare myself worse. Jesus Christ.
