  1. Last night’s _The Daily Show_ included an interview with director Maite Alberdi, which indirectly led me to her film _The Mole Agent_.

    Synopsis: An 84-year-old man is recruited to spy on a nursing home, via a private investigator hired by a family member who’s concerned about how her mother is being cared for.

    Emotional impact: All The Feels.

  2. @redsage these sorts of exercises - ugh. Fucking sadistic games. Deriving from a misery-inducing #allistic normativity.

  3. I think I just made a connection about why I seem so hypersensitive to #advertising relative to #allistic folks.

    It’s the fact that an ad is an interruption, from a colonizer, who wants to colonize me with their shitty memes. And my attention is a mercurial and precious thing.

    Rage is a perfectly reasonable response to this kind of intrusion. Even if you’re *not* #ActuallyAutistic.

  4. @derwinmcgeary I’m especially curious about this in the context of #autistic vs #allistic peoples’ experiences…?

  5. #Vyvanse (generic, per insurance mandate) appears to still be near-impossible to obtain, for a person in the US with #ADHD. I had to switch to #Adderall XR (generic again) and haven’t experienced many supply-chain issues since.

    Nevertheless, the events which led me to this place - we may not have found the definitive proof yet, but The Grift feels strong with this one.

    Oh wait. Did I say grift? I think I meant Capitalism.

  10. @TexasObserver @roens There’s also a 2024 film about her, titled (ironically?) _Winner_

    It was a harrowing watch. The things fascists will do if you try and blow the whistle …

    #RealityWinner #WhistleBlower #USA

  11. @Wolven @beep For some reason this line just evoked in me the strongest recollection of #TheMenu

    (if you have not watched this film: I enjoyed it immensely and do recommend it)

  12. I love my Miraphone: it is a gorgeous rotary-valved concert #tuba which I have owned since it was fresh from the factory.

    But all these badass wandering-around-town brass bands are making me lust for my own #sousaphone.

    Heck, even one of those awful fiberglass things can still make a delightful racket.

  13. @davidho @skinnylatte Yes, “NW Natural” is a relatively recent GREENWASHING re-brand of the greenhouse gas company.

    I spent an interesting few weeks calling out NW Natural’s paid astroturfers on the r/Eugene subreddit. They were quite insistent about misinforming our community.

  18. @IcooIey @alice Gosh I hope your neighbor gives the fediverse a try. I was in the process of figuring out my own #AuDHD status right as #twexit happened and the people I’ve met via mastodon have been wonderful in helping reassure me “yes, I’m different, but that doesn’t mean I’m broken”

  19. Recently noticed a friend has one of those doomed #CarThing devices, so this may be of use to other friends (context: #Spotify abruptly decided to discontinue support for these hardware players)

    As #WilliamGibson would say. The Street finds its own uses for (car) things.

  20. CW: digital cash vs. “crypto”

    I mean, there are ways to implement that #DigitalCash stuff which are, like, pretty actively subversive against #Imperialism.

    #Nakamoto consensus was a great development for The Rebellion. By allowing anyone to send money to anyone else, without a third party’s approval. By establishing a shared consensus among competing interests.

    But: Proof of Work can be gamed, by sufficiently well-resourced imperials. And game it they did, burning enormous capital to do so.

  21. Was delighted this morning to discover all three seasons of #JamesBurke’s series #Connections on the #InternetArchive

    You can even download them all in a .torrent, great for your own personal digital media archives!

  22. @elsua @Binder #champa flowers are the fragrance I most associate with my visit to Thailand.

    Love them so much ❤️

  23. CW: mh, uncomfortable thoughts

    As I reflect today, I wanted to say this out loud in hopes it can reach that person who needs to hear it most:

    I know. They say everyone suffers from #imposter syndrome.

    But you sense you’re different somehow. You have to admit, the more you think about it, you genuinely *are* terrible at your chosen vocation.

    It’s almost too shameful to contemplate, but looking back over the past few gigs you’ve worked, you never actually achieved anything significant, never once earned some genuine praise for a completed project.

    You’ve probably been fired once or twice, but still cobbled together enough friendly associations to get past a couple more reference checks.

    Your experience, that daily dread and sense of doom just around the corner the moment you’re Found Out: that is *not* normal.

    You’re not being lazy or malign on purpose. Maybe you hold some grudges because of genuine injustices, but you don’t *intend* to undermine.

    You know you’re not doing it mindfully; still you try so hard, to be better, even though or maybe because you still kinda feel like you’re probably just deeply and fundamentally Bad.

    It’s not your fault.

    You’re probably living with a disability that you can’t really perceive from “inside,” and which you’ve been silently hiding all your life. Yes, I am talking about #autism and #AuDHD, and in particular the kind that doesn’t get diagnosed until late in life. You can still be #ActuallyAutistic even if you can’t find a medical doctor to confirm or deny this truth.

    I’m here to tell you: I’ve been through this, and I survived.

    So will you.

    #SelfDiagnosis is valid and if you think you’re a fit for it, you’re probably right.

    It gets so much better once you start to understand this unexpected fact about yourself and what your actual needs are.

    Figuring out which parts are you and which parts were your #masks? You’re going to find that a remarkable exploration. Promise. 🎭

    Good luck.

  24. They’re fucking with the #autistic people’s FOOD, yo.

    #Soylent seemed a pretty good company, once.

    Starco Brands is spoiling for a fuckin WAR.

  25. God. Fucking. DAMMIT.

    I have a hard time keeping myself fed. #AuDHD means grocery shopping, cooking, nutrition, all that stuff, is just about the last thing I want to spend mental effort on. So, over the past few years I grew increasingly dependent upon regular subscription shipments of #Soylent meal replacement shakes.

    The past few months I’ve seen my subscription shipments missing more and more items that are “out of stock.” The food delivery I’m expecting this Friday was so overwhelmingly out of stock (five out of seven boxes) that I finally searched for more information.

    Guess what #enshittification I learned of today? reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/

  26. I have a feeling that a lot of this will lodge itself in your head much like it’s done in mine. Kindly ignore their clickbaity video title - the content is strong.

    Bonhoeffer sure sounds like one of My People.

  27. Hello World! #introduction time ...
    I moved to Eugene two years ago, mid-pandemic. I always have tended to be an indoor cat, and I'm #actuallyautistic, and, well ... all that time isolating, and short on social skills anyway, as the outside world seems to grow more hostile by the day ... I've grown a bit #agoraphobic lately.

    I'm hoping that I can start connecting again, with people who I might even hang out with AFK. And that's why I'm here.
