Hey,

(2/2)
1 of the hosts, Tommy Krappweis, has the problem that when an important meeting is planned at, say, 2 pm, he hardly can do anything before that because he knows he has to pause it eventually.

With this in mind, people in Ireland potentially don't have this problem because there are no 'hard lines', but more suggested time slots, it seems.

How do people living there see that?

in a podcast episode we listened to (Ja Schatz # 25, DE, https://www.podcast.de/episode/703706889/episode-25) the two hosts talked about their recent move to Ireland.

They mentioned that in Ireland appointments seem to be seen much more relaxed. In Germany, when you meet next Friday at 8 pm, chances are good that people arrive at 7.55. Not so in Ireland, it seems. Is this more relaxing for neurodivergent people?

Complaint of an autistic, bipolar, and gifted person who is dysregulated and tired...

Something changed. In my personal life and in my digital life. I'm getting old, with bipolar disorder and level 2 autism, with an overlap of 3 autoimmune diseases, diabetes, progressive deafness, and almost no work (due to the economic situation in my country and my health).
I live quite peacefully despite these problems, with my wife, my cats, and my dog. I have a very good family environment, with my daughter (even though we live 1100 km away), my wife's children, my sisters, and a few close friends.
I have some activities that satisfy my brain and intellectual exercise needs, such as chess tournaments with friends, some science projects, books, music (I have a guitar to sing blues in the evenings), hacking and programming, and my Zen and Yiquan practice at home.
So yesterday I had a "conversation" with a guy who claims to be autistic and a psychologist, but who actually isn't and just wanted to argue and practice his neurosis on me. His supposed profession and life wouldn't stand up to even the slightest OSINT investigation; it doesn't exist. It's not that I enjoy doxing stupid people, it's that it's practically obligatory (and I can't break my old habits) given how many people like that there are on social media.
The thing is, I don't even feel like sharing memes anymore because there's always some son of a bitch trying to stir things up. I'm tired of it. My wife gave me a lecture today, and she's right.
The worst part is that these kinds of encounters have almost always been with people who claim to be "autistic." I hardly ever think about being autistic in my daily life, nor am I constantly engaged in activism or tilting at windmills. I also dislike the ideological mess that many people have in their heads.
So I'm going to keep quiet for a while and let certain topics go. The main reason I had social media accounts, and lately on Mastodon, was for the information and the people involved with computers. The rest doesn't really interest me. The autism issue is over for me; I've already understood what I needed to understand after the diagnosis, which was the last link in a series of diagnoses that took up 18 years of my life. There's no need to keep dealing with repetitive and irrelevant information or with unhinged people.
Of course, there are interesting and pleasant people on Mastodon, and even among the autistic ones I can find, but my mental and physical health are screaming for me to step back from digital life a bit more. Mastodon isn't exempt from the toxicity of other platforms; it just seems less noticeable because there are fewer people and because many users follow a certain behavioral model and a set of sociocultural guidelines. But dare to think differently, to disagree with something, to not be interested in the group, cultural, and even tribal trends of Mastodon, and we'll see how you fare. It's exhausting to see hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of profiles that seem to be made with templates and with bombastic hashtags that are more like threats than advertisements, because if you don't agree with or aren't interested in the topic of the user you're interacting with, you're going to be labeled a damn Nazi. I've even seen users with thousands of followers proposing bans and boycotts of people, software, and even memes because they're "on the other side."
I'm really tired of so much human mental crap and it's very likely that I'll disappear or do what some accounts do that only post cat memes, not because they don't have anything better to say but because the others won't understand or listen to anything serious or really important.
I still prefer hacking and programming, and the people who focus solely on that. As Mr. Torvalds said, I like computers, not people. And I understand his reasons.

PS: I don't feel like replying to comments that are just trying to start a fight or argue. And the post will be deleted no later than tomorrow, depending on my mood.

I've never really found the Pomodoro thing to work for me. The "work 20 minutes, break 5 minutes" approach.

Because I'm usually in the middle of something. And my brain needs to be able to finish that thing.

RE: https://plasmatrap.com/notes/amt3jiihdr

[P] And yes, there's heaps of sexism still baked into D&D.

The two opposing dragon gods, for example:

Tiamat — Female: Evil; Vindictive; Spiteful; Manipulative; Scheming; Demonic.
Bahamut — Male: Good; Noble; Protective; Kind; Charming; Saintly.

So any inclusiveness D&D has is surface kevel and shallow. Gygax was a racist, sexist, biological determinist arsehole and so much of his poison haunts D&D. They've barely fixed that.

#psychology #actuallyautistic #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd55e

[P] And seeing that they're going digital with a subscription model? It clicked. The closest modern experience to those '80s cartoons is a certain era of mobile games. For the younger out there, reading this, it might help to say D&D by way of Candg Crush. It isn't even inckusive, either. So much of Gygax's detestabke sexism is still baked into this digital subscription live service product. I don't like what that suggests.

#psychology #actuallyautistic #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd55e

[P] It feels like D&D is weaponising that shallow advert-aesthetic. It's focus-tested. It's designed to get dopamine pumping, to have the lab rats feel rewarded just by looking at it. It isn't taking risks! It has no identity, because if one had an identity, one might not cast the widest net. This is what those '80s cartoons did. Some compare it with Marvel's "capeshit," but it's so much more shallow than even that.

#psychology #actuallyautistic #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd55e

[P] It looks like advertising! It has the aesthetic of advertising. It's hard to articulate to anyone who hadn't had the unfortunate experience of the '80s. I was so glad when we were done with that. It's why I use really shallow toy cartoons as a touchstine. You know the sort, not few good ones like BraveStarr, Ulysses 31, or Willy Fog. No. I mean like Mask, Visionaries, and their ilk. Literal 20 minute ads for kids.

#psychology #actuallyautistic #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd55e

[P] What an awful dystopia we live in. The reason why the 3.5E era is looked upon fondly is because it was artist-driven. They needed someone to drag them out of the testosterone-pumped, sexist, Conan shit of 2E. It was a shift that actually began in late 2E, funnily enough, but it peaked around 3.5E. 3.5E had this cohesive dungeonpunk aesthetic because it was artist driven. 5.5E has me expecting in-Universe ad billboards.

#psychology #actuallyautistic #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd55e

-3

[P] I've been trying to pin down why I dislike the D&D 5.5E artstyle so much. I'm an amateur artist with a wife who's so talented, so I do pick up things. In my twilight though I'm not always sure I have the vocabulary for it. But thwn I saw someone use a descriptor that hit me like a tonne of bricks. "Focus-tested." I mean, yes, it's soulless and so homogeneous, but it's so much worse than that. It's corporate-by-design.

Even though I’ve been unmasking, and sorting out my internalized ableism and internalized capitalism, and other unhealthy cultural messaging, for around eight years now, I still routinely find new aspects to unpack. 1/2

Try to get very specific about the things you don't want in your life.

Instead of "that asshole of a boss," what's more useful is "he does these specific behaviors," or "has these particular personality traits," or "these particular ways of communicating that just do not work with my brain." 1/2

#WordWeavers 2026.05.26 — What is your antagonist’s earliest memory?

My chosen antagonist has been the protagonist in several stories, so this is pretty easy to figure out, and might even be canon. Rainy Days is maybe five, a decade before the story she will appear in. Her earliest memory would be of her kneeling on all fours in a yard, her knees and hands dirty and mashed into the soil, the smell of sawdust in the air, watching over her autistic twin brother Harvest Days as he plays with counting stones—currently arranged in piles of primes. She's doing so because their mother died in childbirth and taking care of children is girl's work. They're out there because their carpenter father, who is engaged in alternately planing and sanding some piece of furniture, is hoping to interest his son in his craft, to no avail because the man can't understand how his son is actually special. What made this day different is Rainy Days suddenly hears a voice, or thinks she does, and heart racing, she turns suddenly to the purple and orange horizon to squint, palm shading her eyes, at what we would call the sun. Did it speak to her? Why did it sound lonely?

Ich rede mit mir selber so wie ich wünschte, meine Therapeutin hätte es getan und so wie ich mit dir reden würde, wenn du mich buchst - Ich mache etwas, das ich verspielt "pro-counselling" nenne (und das offiziell Life Coaching ist, weil das keine Lizenz oder Zertifikat braucht).

Ich habe in Jahrzehnten, in denen ich da war für Freund*innen, (Wahl-)Familie, Genossis und Gemeinschaften, gelernt, wie mensch das verletzte authentische Selbst hervorlockt durch Traumaverarbeitung und Ermöglichung emotionaler Heilung. Ich war mehrfach die einzige Person, wo jemensch durch psychotische Krisen und resultierende Wohnungslosigkeit begleitet hat, oder durch Flucht vor interpersoneller Gewalt und die daraus resultierende Wohnungslosigkeit. Und durch die Anstrengungen, nach soetwas das Leben wieder auf die Reihe zu kriegen.

Ich komme mit Problemen klar, vor denen professionelle Traumatherapie zurückschreckt. Gleichzeitig glaube ich nicht, dass es Probleme gibt, die zu klein oder unwichtig sind, um mich damit zu befassen. Wenn du wen zum Reden möchtest, wende dich gerne an mich!

Ich bin selbst komisch im Kopf (neurospicy) und ich werde mit dir zusammen die Kommunikationswege finden, die am besten für dich funktionieren, ob das Video-, Sprachanruf oder textbasiert ist, ob es zeitversetzt oder in Echtzeit ist.

Honestly I don't know how everyone does it. Writing on my phone is so tiring. I have about forty five minutes blocked out a day to try to catch up on my text messages and it's sometimes not enough. And it's tiring. Part of it is because I have trouble manipulating my phone. The precision needed to type is hard for me. But like also... It's a lot of time! How do people have this time?? What's your secret??

I talk to myself the way I wish my therapist had talked to me and the way I will talk to you if you hire me - I'm doing what I playfully call "pro-counselling" (and is technically lifecoaching because that doesn't require a certificate or permit).

I learned how to coax out the wounded authentic self by processing trauma and allowing emotional healing after decades of being there for friends, family, comrades, communities. I was sometimes the only person supporting someone through psychotic breaks resulting in homelessness, fleeing abuse resulting in homelessness, and trying to piece their lives back together in the aftermath.

I can handle problems that professional trauma therapists don't wanna touch. At the same time, I don't think any problem is too little or trivial either. If you want someone to talk to, please reach out!

I am neurospicy myself and will find the modes of communication that work best for you, whether that's video, voice call or text based, whether it's asynchronous or in real time.

I can do this in english or german (german version of this bost below).

Well. Lydie is not only queen klutz, but I can't remember things to save my life.

I have no "working" memory (a typical neurodivergent trait). And, in AI terms, my context window is very very small.

So I lose things. It costs me a lot of money buying replacements.

However, there is a modern tech that I'm just now trying. Air Tags (well, the Android equivalent). I'm going to put them on lots of things.

There was a good decade where I barely brushed my teeth. And I was severely judgmental to myself about that.

But it wasn't because "I'm a crap person who can't do adult things." 1/2

Y'know how some things just have a really nice texture? One you just want to touch and feel all the time?

Cat snoozles are one of those, at least for me. And thankfully Lester is at least somewhat tolerant of me constantly booping him.

I am sitting in the sun, letting the warmth settle into me while a slight breeze moves across my skin, carrying the faint clean scent of mint from the plant to my right. The soft, steady hum of traffic drifts past in the background. Today I needed this more than I can easily explain.

This morning my doctor cancelled her appointment, then changed her mind and said she could make it after all. I had already mentally released the day and reorganised around Thursday, so when the reversal came I found myself more unsettled than the situation probably warranted. Unexpected changes like that disrupt something deeper than just the schedule. My nervous system had already mapped the day a certain way, and a sudden shift, even a minor one, requires a kind of internal recalibration that is genuinely exhausting. I chose Thursday anyway, on my own terms, which helped. The unsettled feeling still took time to pass, which is why I am out here now.

It has me thinking about something I have been sitting with lately. Reality does not care about our plans, our carefully built illusions, or the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe. There is a particular kind of shock that comes when life closes the gap between what we expected and what actually is, and it does so entirely on its own timeline, not ours.

I am not convinced the answer is stripping away every layer of protection and standing completely exposed. I think the real work is building enough internal ground to tolerate what is real without being destroyed by it. That process is slower and more painful than avoidance, but there is clarity on the other side that no illusion ever provided. At least, that has been true in my own experience.

My nervous system had already mapped the day a certain way, and a sudden shift, even a minor one, requires a kind of internal recalibration that is genuinely exhausting. I chose Thursday anyway, on my own terms, which helped. The unsettled feeling still took time to pass, which is why I am out here now.

It has me thinking about something I have been sitting with lately. Reality does not care about our plans, our carefully built illusions, or the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe. There is a particular kind of shock that comes when life closes the gap between what we expected and what actually is, and it does so entirely on its own timeline, not ours.

I am not convinced the answer is stripping away every layer of protection and standing completely exposed. I think the real work is building enough internal ground to tolerate what is real without being destroyed by it. That process is slower and more painful than avoidance, but there is clarity on the other side that no illusion ever provided. At least, that has been true in my own experience.

I am sitting in the sun, letting the warmth settle into me while a slight breeze moves across my skin, carrying the faint clean scent of mint from the plant to my right. The soft, steady hum of traffic drifts past in the background. Today I needed this more than I can easily explain.

This morning my doctor cancelled her appointment, then changed her mind and said she could make it after all.
