Alcohol mention; mh+
Incredibly, I managed to turn my day around and have a fun time at my friend's party last night. SHRUG.
Oh but they served rosé in tiny pink tea cups. It was very cute.
Today I wrapped another friend's birthday present in yarn and felt because I'm actually 5 years old.
Anyway hope folks are doing well today! You're all wonderful. :3

Spring [she]: smol, friendly, bubbly, cutesy, innocent
Summer [she]: calm, collected, high femme, potion brewer
Autumn [he/they]: adventurous, athletic, introverted, will beat up anyone who hurts Spring
Winter [they]: cold, dramatic (but secretly still a huge softie), storyteller, puts curses on people sometimes
Today's been a really bad brain day.
Days off are hard for me.

It's that time again! Pause for a moment and just breathe.
Wow I totally understand why people worship rules and governance and single ideological paradigms now.
Navigating the unknown is really scary and difficult.

the donations i receive through liberapay help me afford food.
Social Anxiety
Does anyone else find social situations stressful/difficult to navigate BECAUSE of over-stimulation? I often find there's so much going on in these situations and it's hard to prioritize what to attend to.

food, poverty, pol
i don't know how to communicate the state of things to folks who don't live it. nobody close to me eats enough, sleeps enough, has winter clothes, or any assurance that we'll be able to make rent on a regular basis. medical debt, student debt, credit card debt -- it just accumulates. there's no other way to survive. people freeze to death in the street next to towers of empty condos. this isn't a metaphor. it's not a joke. we're dying.
Weed, mh -
My MotoG3 capitalized "Android" because of course it did
Weed, mh -
I keep going back to weed hoping it'll help, because so many other ppl find relaxation with it.
But I just have panic attacks almost every time I use it.
A clinical summary of symptoms while high:
- Increased depersonalization
- Increased dissociation
- Rumination, esp. wrt metacognition
- Body sensations (client reports "twinkling body")
- Increased social anxiety
- Persistent feelings of "fakeness, wrongness, feeling like an Android, a fraud"
I wish I could just babble at a mirror like a Sim to improve my charisma stats

genderpunk: what happens when you decide to build your own gender, in a cave, from a box of scraps torn off of other genders.
Cat Cafe
Around the corner from my job there's a cat Cafe called "Rawr Coffee Bar". It shares a space with a cat adoption clinic.
Folks this is dangerous, red alert.
Work, autism
Day 3 of training and DAMN am I glad I'm working for this particular company.
They really care about the intersections of ABA and human rights. They actually listen to autistic ppl about their experiences. They emphasize consent and teaching useful skills, rather than forcing normative behavior.
I'm learning a lot, about my profession but also generally understanding autism and having empathy. I think this job will help me be a better friend and communicator.
