I appear to have gained a few hundred followers as a result of being part of an autism starter pack, so maybe now is a good time to do some kind of introduction to my life and work in that realm.

Hi! I'm an autistic writer who covers autism, pop culture and the middle of that Venn diagram.

Mom and I picked up a Billy bookcase from IKEA and made Black Christmas and Poppy Family references the entire time.

Heartbroken because I'm certain he's neither the first, nor will he be the last.

Heartbroken because cops of all flavors have always been dangerous to Autistic people, and especially Autistic BIPOC.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Endo my beloved

Tetsuya Endo stands in the middle of the ring at Ryogoku Kokugikan during his entrance.

SO GOOD

Aw, Lulu Pencil!

I was in the front row for the DDT one! And close for Kaiju.

RJ is perfect assistant material.

RJ City would be an all timer. (Also a good option for assistant on an English language TM Canada.)

She'd be a delight. And run away with most of the prize tasks.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

My Taskmaster.

I'm already like "wait, I could do a full TJPW one! I've missed too many people!"

Good point. Yikes! pencil chic is goof for everyone.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

Harley's winning the majority of the prize tasks.

But he'd look great in girl Endo's colour scheme.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

Oh, boy Endo!

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

Hisaya Imabayashi will obviously be the assistant.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

Oh, same.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

Kenoh will be my self aware hothead.

I'm torn between Hyper Misao and Super Sasandango Machine for the genius who has the potential to fail at the basics.

Maybe Aja Kong for the droll elder?

Daisuke Sasaki is obviously going to be my Acaster/Correos style agent of chaos.

Emi Sakura because I want to see what such a clever and resourceful person would do under those circumstances. And I think she might start crying about how much she loves Queen during a prize task.

Excellent choices. I see Dr. Cube taking that series.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 17h

This question is only going to appeal to a particularly nerdy middle of the Venn diagram, but what five wrestlers would you cast in a series of Taskmaster?

Endo has new gear and none of you told me??

I love that James Acaster's full wrestling name is James 'James Acaster' Acaster.
