Hi, I’m Allison!
Here’s the things I usually post or talk about:
- Memes and jokes 🤣
- My nerdy interests 🎮
- Painting Warhammer minis 🖌️
- My writing journey 📖
- Astronomy 🔭
- My cat, Elsie 🐈
On top of that, I always strive to be positive and uplifting. But be warned, there’s occasional chaos too!

• A turkey getting stuck on your head.
• Being locked in a box as penance.
• Eating a trifle made with beef.
• Getting your head stuck in a door, then breaking said door.

I would be very interested to hear good coping and management strategies people have for RSD, particularly in the workplace.
Knowing you have ADHD and will occasionally suffer from RSD goes a long way to helping you deal in a healthy way with your RSD.
Often RSD triggers our unhealthy coping strategies. It can make us prone to abusive relationships as we feel like nobody else could want us.

A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).
This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.
RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

I love it when cats are like:
“Hmm. A thing.”
*SNIFF* *SNIFF* *SNIFF* *SNIFF*

That feeling when you see another transfemme in line to order at the cafe and you’re worried it might be too awkward to say hello, so you don’t…
And then wonder if they were thinking the exact same thing.

I think I’m very tired. The sort of tired that makes me act kinda crazy and goofy. I should probably get to bed!

Maybe instead of coming out with carefully worded letters and heartfelt social media posts, we could just run out into the street and shout “TRANSGENDERIZE!” like its fucking Beast Wars.

If you happen to be someone’s boss, supervisor, manager, or anything similar…
Always tell them they’ve done a great job. They’ll really appreciate it.

I actually played vanilla world of warcraft for a little while back in 2005. I made a bunch of characters, highest level I got to was 40, and had a ton of fun, but then got bored. Decided to quit literally a week before the infamous corrupted blood incident.
On this day in 2004, World of Warcraft was released in North America.

My name is Charlie Brown. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy. Me...or everyone else.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.
He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died, Charlie Brown

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Just to avoid any confusion: no, I am not a medical doctor. I have a PhD, not an MD. I got my doctorate from studying asteroids, not people!
That being said, I do happen to be involved in medical research at the moment. But not because I’m a medical doctor!
