#ActuallyAutistic and introvert who cares about intersectional feminism, politics, peace, neurodiversity, PTSD/mental illness, education, Depeche Mode, Taskmaster and Doctor Who.

most likely to ❤️ flora and fauna pics (except the AI ones).
three weeks of Term 4 left and if the last couple of days are anything to go by, they'll be hell. everyone's exhausted, there's still so much to do, us TAs got another shit pay offer, my autistic brain's constantly overstimulated, and a lot of the student behaviour is chaotic, bordering on anarchic.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't grunge.

i know Violator is the Depeche Mode album most people would name, and sales and polls back that up, but Songs of Faith and Devotion is perfection to me (and my favourite album by anyone ever) so i don't care, stfu 🖤

some days it's quite hard to look for the positives. our government is shit. the economy is shit. world politics is shit. the weather is shit. my asthma is shit. and it's really shit that societal expectation is that we act like everything's fine when really it's mostly just a flaming pile of shit.

moody scene on my stupid mental health walk this morning. i got drizzled on, then rained on, then sunned on, then rained on some more. but also rainbow.

it's hard to stay positive given the state of everything, but trying to notice even small good things.

- it's school holidays so i'm enjoying the serenity;
- went to the library and got more books for my reading pile;
- turned on fairy lights and LED candles to lighten winter gloom.

i just need a Snifters museum. one where i'm allowed to eat my own body weight in Snifters. and also take some home with me for later. okay, not so much a museum as a factory. a Snifters factory. for me. and all the other Snifters fans. but mostly me.

finally got a reply from HRC and it's about as bland and pathetic as you can get. i expect the "whatevs" replies i get from Luxon/Seymour/Peters 'cos they've been clear they don't give a shit what people think about anything. but naively, i'd hoped for more from the Human Rights Commission.

"Unveiling her second Budget as finance minister, Nicola Willis pitched it as "responsible".

"This is not austerity - far from it. In fact, it is what you do to avoid austerity," Willis said."

- i got my flu vaccination today;
- Term 1 is over so it's time for two weeks of peace and quiet (love my job, but my autistic brain needs the holidays to recover from the noise and chaos);
- spotted this sweet piece of art on my morning walk.

i would imagine the "Was this page helpful?" tick box will be removed at some point because fascism, but for now you can still click No and then give them hell.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

a view from my walk this morning. there was hardly anyone around (just how i like it). the air smelled of salt and impending rain. a gentle breeze rippled the water. clouds were building up in all directions and it was a bit drizzly at times.

a lovely way to start the day.

a motivational message from my silly little mental health walk

shaking my head at 18,000 people liking this junk pic on an account that claims the image is a capture from the Hubble space telescope. it isn't. there are other art/AI-generated pics on the account too - none of them labeled as such. have reported and blocked.

great job, everyone. 😊 when i first looked, No was out in front (42Y-58N) so we really turned it around. the end result, while better, is still a pretty dire reflection on how racist people in this country are. that 46% No crowd can go fuck themselves.

this number isn't a surprise, but i don't have a formal dx as i've been told my extremely abusive childhood makes it impossible to assess for early behaviour. i had no real social interaction or play + constant fear + had to hide the abuse. hard to separate autistic traits from trauma traits.
