for autism & ADHD
Turns out I’ve been neurodivergent and legitimately struggling this whole time :/

i can keep them all pretty stylistically consistent cause i'm just using the same kinda style i love to draw with regularly, and it's really so freeing to make shit fast and messy and imperfect. i'm kinda stunned at how fast i made all 16 of these, it was like 3 or 4 sessions total

some icons are very similar to their original designs, and some really aren't. i tried to keep them all having a similar colour palette to keep them quickly recognizable, but played with the silhouette because apple making everything a ~rounded square~ sucks ass actually

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Late night Detroit radio when I could listen and then hearing Setting Sun (1996) melding electronic music with Britpop literally blew my mind as a 12-year-old autistic kid. I think The Chemical Brothers was the first “techno” CD I bought at Sam the Record Man. Wore it out

Just had a doctor interrogate the autism diagnosis on my records due to the ‘high levels of emotional empathy’ observed during our consultation. He then suggested that being a writer and autistic was, in his mind, highly unlikely.
Sorry, lads…but am I in the wrong century?

a funny question to ask about self-driving cars that invites a crazy rabbit hole is "do self driving cars follow the speed limit". You'd think the answer might be simple but it isn't
