I love Vanessa, she is just the sweetest. Years ago someone sent me a link to Spencer (SB Mowing/Power-washing) as a joke ("if you are REALLY autistic how come you don't watch this?!") and he has been my go-to brain buzz quietener/xanax-equiv since. Can't explain the appeal.

Same. And then they get baggy and slip over my eyes :(

Even the pattern I followed had to be adapted with 10 extra stitches to accommodate all that skull.

I had to crochet my own santa hat, none of the shop ones would fit.

All these shiny happy people forgetting that 'festive' includes Krampus and Knecht Ruprecht.

You will never find me. I'll be in the secret master room in the crawl space behind your bedroom, overseeing the still-twitching bodies of the AI-architects I have abducted and hidden under that series of trapdoors/floor cupboards/crypts.

Internalised ableism/ stigma/ years of thinking you're just a bit thick are a bitch. I'm v v lucky to be learning/working with people who get it.

Oh I'm so happy you are doing this!

Very tame and sweet but sorely needed seasonal enthusiasm :)
