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 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

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

(Getting ILX flashbacks as much as high school)

Managed to do something stupid to my lower back and I was hobbling around until I remembered hot water bottles exist

Like, I hate having the body of a woman and I hate being treated like a woman but the thought of ending up as some schlubby buzz-cutted dude in navy chinos instead of some Eno-esque otherworldly twink? 🤮

Sorry, I am going to be so annoying since I found this blog: the phrase ‘bilateral dysphoria’ makes so much sense to me

Wait, what?!! I’ve read a ton of trans mascs saying T made them hornier but no one ever mentioned LOSING THE ABILITY TO HAVE MULTIPLE ORGASMS

Some effects of testosterone give me dysphoria. That doesn’t mean I regret it.

I had to go there to get here.

What do you MEAN, cis men can just order testosterone gel from Asda with only an online questionnaire?!?!!

(And do I know any men in London who would be willing to do this, asking purely for a friend, of course)
