Just went into the attic and got out my old collection of Topps Jurassic Park trading cards, which I still have for inexplicable reasons.

Apparently, I'm getting back into Magic because the Warhammer and Lego hobbies didn't have me broke enough.

Share with me your favorite tarot decks. I am in dire need of a new deck, but haven't been able to find one I want to add to my collection.

The next solicitor who knocks on my door is getting unmasked me, and then none of us will be happy.

Going to a mini painting event this evening in an attempt to socialize. Really trying to be better about existing in public more often so that I can meet new people. But it's overwhelming.

The problem is that our GM has put an attractive, broody vampire in front of us, and I am somehow expected to be normal about it. I play changelings for a reason.

I have mostly caught up from my time out of office, and my brain is already melting. This cycle of rest followed by immediate overwhelm cannot be good, but I haven't figured out a better way yet.

I should get up and go for a walk or read my book or do some laundry or something.

But alas, I am stuck here on this couch despite my better efforts.

Changelings

Many cultures have folklore about children being replaced overnight with an identical “other” child.

Many of these folktales even attribute what are now known as Autistic traits to the “new” child.

It’s easy to see that many of these stories are *about* Autistic children.
Autistic Lexicon

- Changling
- Indigo Child
- Gifted
- Little Bit Autistic
- Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
- Broad Autism Phenotype

These are all terms & concepts across the decades that might be used to explain that a person is Autistic while not saying “I am Autistic” / “They are Autistic”

One of our neighbors has some very loud drum music going on right now and I might actually lost my mind.

Looking at apps that I know could improve my life and growing increasingly frustrated with the amount of time required to set them up so that they would do so.

So first thing's first, you've got to divide monsters into "the physical act of sex would be inherently enjoyable for both of us," "I would enjoy myself with this monster," "if in a relationship with this monster, we'd find a way to be intimate," and "kinky."

These are non-overlapping categories.

Today was an excellent mail day. Got the Ugmonk capture system so that I always have note cards handy when I need them. Also picked up Lautie's Beetlecrash, which is a most excellent little fidget. It's got good weight to it and has a very satisfying combination of tactile response and sound.

Hey y'all.

I'm submitting applications for a new job, but I don't have any interview clothes thanks to working from home these past 5 years.

I doubt cheap cottagecore or southwestern goth would go over well most places.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have jumped in my reading from "your brain is a magical unicorn" to discussions of psychophisological parallelism, and I feel like I missed the middle ground that I was aiming for.

Tried to read a book today for a project and had to give up very early on because I was not equipped for hearing how *magical* and *amazing* my brain is for having ADHD. (I can only guess what they'd say if they knew about the autism, too.)

I'm looking for information, not a pep talk for a toddler.
