No joke. I actually believe BlueSky should’ve always been invite-only. Ever since it opened up, we’ve seen far more undesirables join and turn it into Twitter.

Istg, every single cabinet pick and department head Donald the Terrible has chosen is counterintuitive to the raîson-d'etré for their department. If that doesn't call his cognitive ability into serious question, I quake with terror for the intellectual capacity of this nation.

Spent the morning catching up with the friend I'm staying with. Apparently, the former president of his previous employer has been confirmed to head the Federal Railroad Administration.

Enjoy your trains while you got 'em, my #ActuallyAutistic homies... my friend and I both know this is bad news

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it, I can't do anything about my ludicrous height any more than RFKJ and his vacuum-skulled boss can do anything about my neurology.

Come and get me, you idiots.

Fuck you and fuck anyone who thinks they can try.

"I ask you to consider that autism itself has the power to bring people joy. I experience happiness to the extreme. I can be entertained by the simplest things. I show ppl love in the most unique ways.” Marcy Hannah Waring, @ejwillingham.bsky.social's TPGA newsletter:

Do some tall people have "profound tallness?" (This is an autism labels side-eye)

You can’t take the tallness out of someone, not in any ethical way. “Tall” is just what they are.

Best wishes, be safe... here's hoping it is indeed the FINAL move (for a while at least)

Catastra @autisticatwoman.bsky.social · 1d

Same... how did things go with your move, or have you completed it yet?

Catastra @autisticatwoman.bsky.social · 2d

Hell yeah... I don't think your move was quite as far as mine though 😹 (made it to my destination last night and I almost didn't want the journey to end for all this scenery)

Now I'm glad I'm here. Going to take a couple of days to unwind and cool my paws, then hopefully get to explore a little

Catastra @autisticatwoman.bsky.social · 2d

Well... I made it.

And holy fuckamoley I was not anticipating these kinds of views 🙀

This is not stereotypical desert, this is inviolable beauty of nature

Ok... one more push should do it as long as nothing goes sideways (including my car)

But I feel pretty good so far. Excited, even. Maybe while I'm winding down from the move I'll skeet about the difference between moving due to necessity vs. your own devices

On we go!!

Catastra @autisticatwoman.bsky.social · 3d

As long as I've calmed down enough from the move by then

🎶 At the hundredth meridian, at the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian is where the great plains begin
I remember, I remember buffalo
And I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me
Gotta remember every single fuckin' thing I know 🎶

(alas, could not fully completely list every song title I wanted to mention... the pigeon camera missed them... sorry Gord, I'll put on my fifty-mission cap to make sure you're lionized)

Catastra @autisticatwoman.bsky.social · 4d

Finding courage.

I'm looking for a place to happen,

at the hundredth meridian.

Luckily I'm not locked in the trunk of a car.

We'll go too.

Maybe I'll meet some wheat kings.

I have the wherewithal...

... to make it to Eldorado.

A red flag is a red flag. If you have any reservations whatsoever about a person you're interacting with, or want to interact with, don't dismiss it, dismiss the person instead before you get very, very badly hurt

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

*adjusts phone playlist so that I will almost certainly be listening to "At the Hundredth Meridian" right as I'm driving across it*

Ok then... here it is. Today's the day. Unless it ends up being tomorrow bc executive dysfunction.

Goodbye Vampire State, hello safer (I hope) horizons with nicer people and no slippery surfaces, if you get my drift.
