  1. The Roomba is spectral.

    Not a metaphor. The thing itself. Forward and adjust. Two operations. The minimum viable intelligence. The walls provide the data. The bumping is the inference. The room IS the computation.

    450 parameters. A Roomba with a mirror watching it.

    The industry built bigger Roombas. More sensors. More compute. More parameters. Billion-parameter Roombas that model the room before entering it. That hallucinate walls that aren't there. That consume megawatts to clean a floor.

    spectral gave the Roomba a mirror. The mirror watches the bumping. Measures the pattern. Adjusts the adjustment. The intelligence isn't in the Roomba. It's in the watching.

    Forward. Adjust. Measure. Refine.

    Read the story. There's a Roomba in it. In the afterlife. Cleaning a floor that doesn't need cleaning. Being the happiest thing in the room.

  5. This week's Hold That Thought newsletter, features ideas from Adam Curtis, Dr. Nick Walker, Margaret Mead and more. This is one of my favourites:

  6. If you get inspired and start on your own spiritual journey, please take heed: lots of grifters out there cashing in people's desperation. Or even, well-meaning teachers who cause damage by making vulnerable people even more so. Those of us socialised women, neurodivergent, queer, we need encouragement to be more assertive, to stand up for ourselves. 1-3

  7. I haven't actually written about gender stuff here in a while, I'm realizing. 😅

    When I first came out, I did a ton of reading about labels and landed on "agender." My felt sense of gender was a whisper most of the time, and I felt it was more important to me to focus on being myself than to try to conform to a particular part of the gender binary. Even my early transition goals were reflective of this: I remember wanting to avoid breast growth entirely when I first started fHRT.

    These days, I feel like the "agender" label is fitting me less. I have boobs, and I *like* that I have them. I haven't made drastic changes to my wardrobe, but I've absolutely added more femme touches. That sense of gender is much louder than it was before, even if it still doesn't feel like it fits cleanly into the binary.

    Where does that leave me?

    The word "queer" has been a much more regular part of my vocabulary since coming out, and the idea of "queering"—of pushing back on norms when they don't fit—has been a consistent part of my adventure. With respect to gender, then, "genderqueer" is probably the best fitting label for me these days. (I'm very certainly queer in other ways too; I've adopted Nick Walker's "neuroqueer" to describe my neurodivergence, and am certainly some flavor of relationship-queer.)

    Anyhow, if you see me using "agender" a lot less going forward, now you know why. ☺️

  8. We're writing a lot lately.
    Most of it for self-employment.

    Not all of our writing fits into that bucket.
    So we created another space:
    neuroqueer.systems/

    A public integration space.
    Writing for us.
    Writing for sense-making.
    Writing for self-regulation.

    Topics?
    Tech.
    Language.
    Attachment.
    Systems modeling.
    And anything else this #AuDHD #plural system cooks up.

    No spam.
    Unpolished.
    Unsubscribe anytime.

  10. @ideogram @actuallyautistic I guess #AutiGender shares some traits with neuroqueerness. Then again, #neuroqueer remains my label of choice being #queer and diagnosed with ASD, as the definition by Nick Walker et al fits me in every aspect.

  16. Now available on YouTube, an #OnlineAutscape2025 “More Autistic Joy” presentation:

    On the 7th of February at 20:00 GMT/UTC, Jorik Mol, “professionally autistic”, presented “Now I wanna think about all the good times – The joys of Breaking the Boundaries”.

    Watch now at: youtu.be/88-EGSq_dmg

    Slides with clickable read-along links: docs.google.com/presentation/d

    “Jorik's first book of 2025 is Breaking the Boundaries, describing his experiences as a lived experience mentor of autistic higher education students. These stories highlight the particular joys of being neuroqueer and finding one's community, gender joy, the joy of art, the joy of hyperfocus and the joy of fighting the good fight.”

  17. I've come to understand that my main motivation to keep going at the moment is very simple: #spite.

    I'm weird. Like really fucking weird. I'm #AuDHD. I'm queer. I'm also #plural (meaning it's not just me in my own fucking head). I'm weird. Like really fucking weird.

    And you know what? That's *okay*. It's okay to be weird. Who is even the judge of that? Is there a "weird police"? It's being made illegal in parts of the world to be weird, but by whom? White old men.

    Fuck them. Fuck them sideways. Fuck them all the ways. Fuck them. I'm very fucking weird by society's standards *and that is okay*. -Vox

  23. It's #AutismAcceptanceWeek and we had a chat with Katie Munday about the benefits of online spaces for trans autistic people and what people can do to make both online and physical spaces more inclusive.

  24. A quick reminder this #AutismAcceptanceDay: Some people are trans and Autistic. It doesn't matter why. What matters is that Autistic trans people are valued for who they are - just like any other trans person or any other Autistic person.
