My gell ice pack has gone a bit spicy, wonder if it'll explode?
Hmm, anyone know what caused the gell to emit gas?

My meagre savings are not quite enough for me to travel to Sydney for my uncle’s funeral. Buy me a coffee on kofi? 🥺 https://ko-fi.com/seafuryandpete
My friends built a new deck and threw a deck warming party. The theme was mezze! I was so glad to be around my friends but also, I am deeply tired now. #weekend

Dear #ActuallyAutistic siblings.
Firstly, I ask that you repost this if it strikes a chord to any degree (or even if it doesn’t, please help a spectrum brother out).
Secondly, if you have thoughts, resources, or experience with this, please reply.
I’ve been sitting with how icky (literally) I have felt since doing this recruitment exercise.
I was given two questions, where I have to sit in my home, answering as if I’m in front of someone, with no one in front of me, just my computer, recording me, with my camera output on the screen.
Two chances per question to answer, but that almost made it worse – if I fuck up the first shot, what if I fuck up the second?
No direct feedback from another person.
And a deep and abiding sense that if I do fuck up, a word, an expression, a sentence, I am not with a fellow imperfect human being allowing me to regroup. To rephrase. To truly restart.
Just take that second shot and hope it doesn’t happen again.
I have spent 55+ years interpreting the responses of those around me (admittedly not always successfully), but like most (all?) maskers, I do better with someone human, ND or not, in front of me, and certainly not feeling like I’m fucking talking to the mirror.
Am I wrong to feel this is anti-spectrum (I honestly feel it’s anti-human, but that’s a *whole* other level). Am I just over-worrying about a simple “cog in the recruitment wheel we all need to get past”.
Is there any data on this sort of thing at all?
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. It has helped me sit with memories, contemplations. I love the little bubble of community we have here ❤️
My uncle died last night. I may be going to Sydney for funeral.
@SeaFury Poets day as we called it in some of my workplaces.
(Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday)
Calling it. Welcome to the weekend!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
My sketch today while hosting SKETCHING ON THE MOVE - only 3 sketchers today (including me!) #Launceston #UrbanSketching
Found a hoodie snatcher! #CatsOfMastodon
That concludes the first day with new camera/phone. Definitely not a potato.

Didn't get back to sleep, but now I the sun is up, I feel sleepy 🤷♀️
Jedes Mal, wenn ich aus der Küche komme, steht da der #Hund und will Futter haben. Ich sage dann: "Du hast doch eben erst etwas gehabt!"
Ratet, weshalb ICH in der Küche war...
