Medieval marginalia tattoo now that that my arm doesn’t appear to have chicken pox and my bishop owl appears to have had antibiotics! (It was looking ill before healing).

Sorting out the cabling under my desk for a new test rack has got to be, by far, the worst idea I have ever had for a Monday morning.

Also menopause… we actually went to the open day yesterday as well… when it wasn’t on. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Me planning/leading D and his friend, was like a cat hearding cats. I am not sure how any of us managed to survive this weekend. 😂

Sorry if my previous messages came out all garbled… I was posting whilst assisting autistic young adults (preferred term) around a uni open-day. Let’s just say my mind was not fully on writing short-form posts 😂 (More, don’t cross the street now and are you okay with the crowds?).

I say “Autistic” due to D’s preference. I asked what his preferred term of how he sees the world and he said he preferred to say he was autistic because that’s affect everything he does, despite him having multiple diagnoses. So we should both should learn to make assumptions on terms.

That’s really common. I’ve seen it a lot with D. The friendships and people he was able to engage with were always autistic. Even from a very early age. We were talking about it the other day. He says it’s probably to do with social requirements that NT’s need and autistics forgo.

I have been wondering the same. Not ADHD but definitely the autism. I took the AQ50 tests and on one I was classed as autistic but one another I was just shy of another, but I am a woman.

It was really interesting. I enjoyed it. Nice to see my old uni get a mention. Yes, I didn’t get the grades. 😂

Yeah… a long while back. I think it was his fear of blood that was the issue really. When he realised that they weren’t that bloody (well I don’t show him any blood) it was fine.

Is that a devil on your shoulder? Nope it’s two.

Will look better when it settles down. Medieval manuscript marginalia sleeve should be finished next month. So excited.

My keyboard had a baby… because everyone needs a retro mechanical calculator keypad (they really do!). Happy #NerdMothersDay

So not the best photo, but it’s hard to do a group selfie, when you’ve done a gym session the day before! Today, I had new new concert buddies, along with my bestie concert buddies Beverley Shore. Today, it was @shanghaitreason.bsky.social at Bodega.

We might not have the access to all of the culture and fancy museums, but if it’s something the North does well, it’s music. We have cracking bands. Tonight it’s the Latham’s at Rock City.

When you find yourself in a place that appears to be way above your pay grade… look for the one tattooed person and hang with them. There is always one (and they also appear to have gone into the wrong theatre bar!)

The last time I saw the Levellers, was 1993. They played a protest concert at Brixton Common with the Manics. Stephen Lawrence had just been murdered. I was studying in SE London. I lived in Plumstead just down the street from where he lived. I used the bus on which he waited when he was murdered.

Go home Astarion you’re drunk (or frightened). That’s been happening a lot lately. If you carry on like this I might even prefer Gale!

Everyone in the family now gravitates to my new keyboard and we now call it the “keyboard of joy”. We are such nerds.

In this house we have 2 rules — you can never have too many keyboards and there is nothing wrong with “old school”

Only in our house can conversations start with “Elon Musk looks like a meatball” and finish with the concept of Volcano Chess Battle Royale.

Forget world events, get a tattoo of a medieval killer bunny riding a goat snail instead. A much more worth while use of my time.
