And dreams of a life the horrifyingly real life story of how badly we neglect those who need help. Just the most upsetting watch.

And just because I dislike salmon doesn't mean I won't eat it. More texture than taste. So hidden in other foods, I'll eat it.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

- I never refuse food but dislike salmon
- Dreams of a Life (Everyone should watch once but entirely heartbreaking)
- Sweet Caroline (As Caroline it's really creepy)

I do have time. So I'll get back to you 👍

Ka81 @ka81.bsky.social · 14h

Give me some more time with that, but it's really good and beautifully captured the experience of being neurodivergent and struggling with this neurotypical expectations of our emotions and behaviour. Cracking job 👏👏

This is false advertising... quite disappointed. Topping up the old-fashioned ways of stimming and info dumping about 19th century witchcraft trials just takes too long!

Ka81 @ka81.bsky.social · 18h

Ironically, this is accurate. I really did get all my vaccines and had alot of paracetamol this week (that cold was dire) and posted about it. I was hopeful. But no dice alas! 🤣

Just have to get it the same way as usual.... obsessively rewatching LOTR and Star Trek for the billionth time in a fluffy onesie whilst barely talking to anyone for 5 days and eating with that one spoon only.

Having had all my vaccines and paracetamol this week, I am unfortunately not more autistic at all.

Totally sold a lie there...I was hoping to top up.

It's entirely directed at Teachers. So I'm hoping we do and get a better handle on the wheel!

Also lots of answers to those...🤣

And yes, I've used both Data Science methodologies and the term Ed.4.0 in a sneaky attempt it seems to conclude we shouldn't use the term, and we should rethink the tech....

Ka81 @ka81.bsky.social · 19h

So maybe let's stop with the Education 4.0 lark. 🤣🤣🤣
