Evri desperate for me to review how they did in basically being subcontracted by another company to move stuff from said company's warehouse to one of said company's shops, for me to pick up later. Ideally I wouldn't even know how this internal delivery happened? Let me imagine a countrywide […]

FOx

A fox sitting on a shed roof. Its tail is hanging off the edge. It is looking at something out of frame.

My parents wrote this off as copying my brother, but I’m not sure it was that, I remember kind of zoning out while I was doing it, it was a soothing thing to do. I think I did this to about age 12, when I belatedly realise it might look a bit weird to outsiders. That’s… autistic stimming, right?

The stimming – so my brother would do this thing where he was sort of rocking/repeatedly planting his face into the sofa while making a kind of churning/white noise sound. I think when he was a bit older he described this as “pretending to be a washing machine” (washing machines being a special […]

I'm fairly sure if I was school-age now something might have got picked up. But that didn't really happen in the 70s/80s - also, my brother is basically the old-school stereotype of autism, with a "super power" and everything, and by comparison I was low maintenance and just read books and got […]

Don't really feel there is any value in trying to get a formal diagnosis; I've got this far (53) and I guess have gradually learned to deal with some things. My job is, if anything, too autism friendly anyway - almost entirely head-down solo work, lots of days with no meetings, barely any […]

I think I'm ready to self-diagnose as autistic, not that it makes much material difference to anything. I've got the bad-with-social-cues, the occasional pathological honesty, social anxiety, "attention to detail". Sleeves either rolled to elbows or over hands. Restricted diet as a kid. Mental […]

Apropos of nothing, years ago a 5yo friend of my kid came over at a party and said, apropos of nothing: "I've seen my mummy naked."
Me: "uh ok."
Kid (sotto voce, pointing at her mum on the other side of the room): "Very hairy."

Shout out to the extremely loud power trio blasting out an instrumental version of Welcome to the Jungle outside London Bridge station this evening, in the face of extreme indifference from the patrons of Comptoir Libanais.

TIL the main academic framework of the history of marketing is massively flawed and based on essentially an unreferenced memoir of some bloke, and everyone knows this but they just stick it in all their textbooks anyway and have done since 1960.

I love how you can get loads of different things going on in a single Vital patch (obviously if - unlike me - you know what you're doing you can get much more elaborate and musical things happening). #looptober

There is an extremely chill looking guy in Mastermind. He's a video editor and his specialist subject is Mickey Mouse 1928-35.

IKEA, not content with blahaj, further cementing their dominance of the prized Mastodon user demographic

A fake iMac in an IKEA office display. The screen is a decal of a Linux desktop. Nested menu is open - looks like they are trying to configure some audio settings which I understand is a weak point of Linux and the main reason I don't use it

Love when a book starts out like, let me tell you about this one bitch

It was admitted by all her friends, and also by her enemies — who were in truth the more numerous and active body of the two — that Lizzie Greystock had done very well with herself.
We will tell the story of Lizzie Greystock from the beginning, but we will not dwell over it at great length, as we might do if we loved her. She was the only child of old Admiral Greystock, who in the latter years of his life was much perplexed by the possession of a daughter. The Admiral was a man who liked whist, wine — and wickedness in general we may perhaps say, and whose ambition it was to live every day of his life up to the end of it. People say that he succeeded, and that the whist, wine, and wickedness were there, at the side even of his dying bed.

Ahhh Benjamin Myers is really good. Beautifully written book about the friendship between a young man from a mining village and an older bohemian woman who broadens his horizons (not like that). Exemplary characterisation and beautiful language. Also quite a lot […]

Is this cat part leopard or something? I don't think I've seen markings like that. Also it brought down a gazelle
