New followers: Hi! I'm Zoë. I also answer to "Hey, you, please put down the guitar you're giving me a migraine!"

I'm currently battling a WICKED bad cold, so my posts are more all over the place than usual. But I post aboutprogramming, music, fiction writing, ADHD advocacy, and trans stuff 💙

A thing I think a lot of cishet folks don't appreciate is how reluctant many of us are to trust these days

And how much harder it gets when the few we do let us down

"If [NAME] could turn on me, so could anyone"

Especially after the nth time someone has said "Oh I'm not like those other people that have let you down" and then they do something to not just let you down but betray your trust so completely that you hope to never see that person again (I'm not bitter. lol)

Look I know I’m partly a murder hobo build but really I’m trying to be a seducer hobo, things just don’t always go as planned.

The 'F' in 'Silent Hill F' is for the word you're going to be shouting in rapid succession as you panic and try to run away.

This game is proper Japanese Horror Weird™ and I am here for it If you can forgive that it's not set in America, everything else is proper Silent Hill so far

Another day, another KFC price hike. I know from speaking with a manager (Not the crazy one I've mentioend before lol) that at least part of it is the price of chicken. This is Arkansas. YOu can't spit without hitting a chicken farm here. Can't imagine how bad it is elsewhere

One of the most irritating things I frequently encounter from transphobes is oddly similar to anti-vaxxer logic. Namely, that scientific evidence which contradicts their opinion is simply dismissed outright. When confronted with evidence about gender identity, the response is always utter denial.

The ADHD *really* didn't help either, but between the ADHD masking the autism, the autism masking the ADHD, and me being blind actually doing a LOT to mask both (because, no joke, I was the only blind student at either my high school or college, and nobody had a clue how to "deal" with me lol), yeah

omg I just realized, the #autism brain LOVES TO QUESTION EVERYTHING and this is exactly why I failed out of colleg so badly.

I had a series of math teachers whose teaching style, and I QUOTE verbatim, was "Don't worry about why and how it works. It just does." and I couldn't understand it.

more games should be asking me this

A cropped screenshot of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. The text reads:

When you were younger, Congruence gave your class a frank presentation about preparing for the changes your bodies would experience in the next few years. Which parts of the presentation was relevant to you?

The choices are:
MENSTRUATING, BREAST GROWTH...
VOICE CHANGING, GETTING ERECTIONS...
NONE OF IT. I'M LIKE A DOLL DOWN THERE

-of questions :)

Zoë, Typo Pumpkin 🎃🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @scaerietale.itch.io · 1d

Things like rejection sensitivity can absolutely cause some of these to feel triggering, and hell, the turn of phrase ones don't bother me in the slightest. Metaphors and stuff. But I can't STAND things like "Hand me that thing on this side" and I've developed canned responses to "How are" types

Putting a tw on this video because there are phrases that got me, that I honestly wasn't expecting and never thought about because I've gotten so used to biting my tongue when I hear them, but, holy crap there are so many

I used to have a small under desk eliptical too, but I had to stop using it because my desk was too short, and I kept banging my knees lol

I have neither the need or the desire to "get ripped' but being able to lift a 24 pack of soda effortlessly? Yes please 🏋️‍♀️

I have zero upper body strength so I've started keeping my adjustable (2/3/4/5lb) dumbbells by my PC and TV, so when I'm otherwise vegging out I can at least tone my noodle arms a bit

Me: How the hell do people measure such precise tiny littl distances without some kind of... specialty gauge?

Amateur/hobbyist guitar repair tech who forgot calipers exist lmao. In my defense, I got like 3 hours of sleep last night due to mild stomach bug. Think I'm going to make up for it now

It's asking me to sign up for a 7-day trial, so 🤷‍♀️ I'll try and get it working (without selling my soul to another AI slop company) later. My iPad needs charging right now, and my patience for Canva is razor thin

I'm not complaining mind you, but something is up with my taste buds today. They're way more sensitive than usual. I took a bite of chocolate and omg it was heavenly.

It wasn't even GOOD chocolate. It was a mini kit kat lol
