So many times I've done this. Props to Stranger Things for giving every major character a unique hairstyle so people like me can actually tell them apart.
The music swells. The mysterious man slowly reaches up to remove his mask. He reveals his face to the audience! Gasp!
And I have no idea who he is, because I’m faceblind, so this plot twist flies right over my head. #ActuallyAutistic

I've finally found something that I've been looking for for years.
Yes, it's an old colander... but it's there's something special and historical about the artefact... can you tell what's so extra interesting about it?

Okay, that's an impressive stand to take, and one worth sharing.

"The moon looks fake, but it’s hanging there,
Frozen sky tastes like wine in the cold night air.
The lines hum and my heart keeps time,
It smells awful sweet for a world on fire
’Cause the kid’s asleep and the lights still work,
And I talk to the cats like it’s church."

Well, if it’s 6 October, it’s the 82nd anniversary of the day the world was deprived of Ignatius Trebitsch-Lincoln, who was born a Hungarian Jew, got elected to the House of Commons, spied for Germany in both world wars, and eventually declared himself the 14th Dalai Lama...

In Super Mario RPG, the Guerrilla enemy is a "knock-off" of Donkey Kong. This is referenced in a unique way by its Japanese name, which replaces two of its characters with similar ones as though on a bootleg product logo. In English, this could be conveyed as e.g. "Donkev Konq".

Wow, Michigan's chief medical officer has set up a wonderful loophole for Michigan residents to be able to receive the latest covid vaccine: www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...
In summary, if you haven't received a 2025-26 shot, that counts as an underlying condition allowing you to be vaccinated.

1/ Some stuff about posting. If your employer asks about your social media, you don't have any.
If you have to put your Real Name in your social media, *don't* link directly to your employer. Nuking your LinkedIn is also a good idea, since it's a cesspool anyway.
Researchers can still find you.

It is an universally acknowledged truth that the lil autistic guy (me) on a call who has fully prepared the call's materials will be asked to introduce themselves first and will totally blank out because they hadn't prepared that social script, and will therefore verbally vomit the most random shit.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.
Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
