My listening for November 2024 - can see Blixa Bargeld and Imai Hisashi literally duking it out over who gets to be my biggest obsession....

I do not remember there being a church spire in this neighbourhood?!?

(It is The Shard, just visible from Streatham Hill)

Spoke to a neighbour on the other side and explained the situation. We exchanged phone numbers, and he said if this guy appears again, I can call him and he will walk me to my door

I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I can’t find the incident number! I know I would have written it down in a safe place - but then forgotten where!

Failed Human Being @kunstmuell.bsky.social · 13h

They said call back if there’s trouble. Can I call them if all he’s done is park and shake his fists at me?

I don’t feel safe at all when he’s around.

FML. That builder who kicked down my door and attacked me is parked outside my gate again.

He saw me and immediately started shouting. I’m freaking out and about 2 minutes away from a panic attack.

He’s been told by the damn police not to park near my property!

Look I know that Twitter is both bad for mental health and bad for political world but every now and then you get a post like

"This is a T-shirt for the rock band"

Makes it all worthwhile

I just yelled ‘YOU BITCH!!!’ out loud at Michael

It was interesting because my GLF friend told me that in 1970, the GLF picketed the film for portraying negative stereotypes. But when he watched it decades later, he understood what it was trying to say so much better

Watching The Boys In The Band 1970 because one of the Umbrella Circle (former member of the Gay Liberation Front) told us how important it was at the time

The lesson i’m seeing is, really, my god, queers have always been most awful to one another 😢

Sudden sharp realisation: is ‘hate-reading’ (the sort of obsessive social media monitoring and surveillance I’ve been the focus of, often from other ND people) actually a weird form of Special Interest in a person?

“I often find my special interests are a perverse fascination with a person or movement I find morally abhorrent.”

I know, right? He had GREAT TASTE (not surprising given his father invented much of that mid-century modern look) I hope they sell an auction catalogue!

Unfortunately the book talks about how the ‘blunt asshole IT genius’ stereotype is untypical, and most autists need to work on not being a fawning people-pleaser.

But where’s the advice if you ARE pretty much the ‘blunt unlikeable IT guy’ type? 😭

Sorry, sorry, sorry - i’m trying not to post but then Price goes and writes something like this and I feel punched in the gut again

“Autistics aren’t given the tools to understand how emotions feel in our bodies, and because we are taught to prioritize others’ feelings above our own.”

OK I think the painkillers for my back are starting to make me a little too unfiltered, time to log off, listen to an 6-hour Kraftwerk playlist and finish reading Dr Devon Price's book on autism (posts very much in character)

OMG!!! 😱

Seeing this, I realise that WAS Florian. I saw an old German man in a flat cap, sunglasses and old-fashioned suit riding one of these along the Rheinufer. I thought ‘HUH?’ then dismissed it, thinking Florian would never ride this kind of bike

Oh that’s amazing. I wish him success with it! Hope you have a good time

I did not know that he had a book, let alone that the launch was tonigh?

This is probably for the best as I would genuinely bankrupt myself for this, had it been on offer

There are no theremins in Florian Schneider’s estate sale

Noooooo why is this happening when I am unemployed and broke?!?! 😱

Read this and it was such a gut punch I think I pulled another muscle in my back.
