AuDHD: My brain holds everything & nothing, and I don't get to pick which part does what. Sometimes I'm funny.

Also, I have a(n honorary) PhD. in theology, and just started going back to school (at 37 💀) for an eventual PsyD.
I need to try and remember that this app exists. There's a whole lot of a whole lot, and mainly I have been just lurking and watching people talk about the downfall of American civilization

Autism BlueSky is sometimes called an echolalia chamber.

I really hope the new migraine treatment I start on Monday is effective. I'm really, really, sincerely fucking tired of being in too much pain to do shit that I want to do.

Cool cool cool. My "having a hard day" turned into full-on tears when the rabbit hole led me to Google Street View through the town he grew up in (and where I would visit in the summer) until I found what was left of our grandparents' motel.

Having a hard day today. I miss my little brother. He would have been turning 34 in a few months.

Damn kid just came in and dropped a bomb on us that he doesn't trust his girlfriend. Not for any new reason.

He has trust issues. Came into our lives as a teen with a history of trauma. I get it. But he is intentionally holding up the "I will never fully trust anyone" wall.

To update some stuff: taking 15 credits this quarter, which has been A Thing. My statistics class (only math I'll need between here and doctorate) is my lowest grade at a B, which I'll take happily.

My "feast or famine" job has been very "feast." Couple of big projects on top of normal stuff.

I kind of keep forgetting that this app exists. Whoops!

In fairness, these last couple of months have been a hell of a long year.

Working for a trauma-informed organization is still weird sometimes. We have "restorative meetings" on Fridays, taking turns leading - all meant to decompress, no work talk allowed. Which means that with the session I led today, we got paid to play Jackbox games for an hour. 😂

Oh, and in case it'll piss anyone off that I don't want to talk to anyway:

Black lives matter.

Sex work is work.

No human is illegal.

Protect trans kids.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

...

Did I miss anything important?

On a scale of 1 to "organized chaos," how neurodiverse is BlueSky? Just trying to get a feel for the place, and possibly find my people.

Huh. This app feels like they un-boinked some of the crap that the site formerly known as Twitter had done before Muskrat bought it. I like the clean UI on here, and I hope I'll like it here overall.
