I just splurged on my first pair of noise canceling headphones and when I put them on at the gate and it became dead silent, I could feel all of the overwhelm draining out of my body. How did I not make this investment when I was diagnosed? I could have been so much calmer for all this time. #autism

Of course the day when I have to fly three hours and then drive three hours after that is the night I wake up at 3:00 in the morning and can’t get back to sleep. Luckily, I always sleep on airplanes.

Baby’s first krokbragd. Those selvages are so hard to keep tidy, which is why you can’t see them. #handweaving

My latest paint by numbers project. Obviously, it is called The Yowl. It feels like the perfect expression of what it feels like to be a person living in the world right now.

When someone who has judged multiple times on RuPaul’s Drag Race tells you that they like your dress you know two things: 1) it’s a LOT of look. 2) it’s probably okay even if you feel like a Mardi Gras float in it. #atxtvs14

48 hours before the start of @atxfestival.bsky.social. Trying to figure out what else I can watch to be maximally prepared! 7 more episodes of Shrinking are the priority, though.

I’m preparing for a hopefully fun vacation next week and the stress of that has me about to back out of going. It’s also put the state of the world on the backburner in my mind which should be a relief but really just makes me feel like I’m a horrible person. There’s no way to win here and it sucks.

If one was up all night with crazy anxiety dreams about a fun but stressful event that is right around the corner, 9:45 is not too early to take a nap, right? Asking for a friend.

The best thing about being my own boss is that I can schedule my work so I can watch Eurovision. I love it so much.

I took a news break most of the weekend and felt semi-ok, all things considered. But I just caught up and now am ready to hide under the covers and cry for the next four to twenty years, so that’s great.

These three are going to be sorely disappointed when they discover that I plan to take a nap right there in about 2 minutes.

Just finished the last episode of Lost as part of an epic year-long rewatch that I’ve been doing with friends. So beautiful! I have been sobbing all night. What a great show that was.
