The thing about getting an ASD diagnosis for your 9-year-old after a two year wait is it's a lot like a fireman telling you your house is on fire: you're grateful for the expert opinion but it isn't primarily a diagnostic problem.

I poured my heart out about Marty Supreme, Jewish identity, why the Old Testament isn’t the same book as the Torah and what it takes to survive trauma

Marty Supreme is the most intensely Jewish movie I’ve ever seen in my life, and I ended up writing 5,000 words about it. buckle up.

Absolutely lost it remembering how hilariously shit the Australian Traitors was. Episode 2 the task was 'right, lads, swimming race' and one of the contestants tried to drown someone. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

Apropos nothing in particular, I hate the way as a culture we talk about art - spoiler warnings, endings explained etc. A story is not a puzzle or merely a delivery mechanism for information, it's an experience. Its meaning cannot be reduced. The way we talk about stories is so infantile. I hate it.

I, a person who is allergic to coins and eats wasps for sustenance, find this analogy offensive and flawed
