What kind of #Autistic are you?
I’m the kind that has a (badly) laminated timeline of the 19th century, with my personal history touchstones nicely dated, and I look at it in awe of how much technology and society changed in those 100 years. I’m comforted by patterns and relatability.

I just ordered like 5 Houdini books via Thriftbooks (fuck Amazon) and the one I’m MOST excited to read is about Rose Mackenberg— Houdini’s “girl detective”.
When Houdini got too famous to busy Spiritualists, he sent Rose pretending to be a “grieving widow”. She busted over 1,500 “mediums”

Update: ow.
When you spend a good 6 years playing roller derby, you get really accustomed to falling on your knees.
Going for a casual roll in a pair of moxies I haven’t worn for a spell with super gummy wheels and NO KNEEPADS (helmet always)— I had this coming.
But boy did I feel ALIVE!!!

After completing a puzzle, how long do you have to wait to show it dominance?
Finally got around to doing my John Carpenter’s The Thing puzzle and now my back hurts.

Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon crafting and listening to podcasts with my partner. He does Warhammer. I make tiny food magnets out of clay. We’ve been together for 15 years.

Are you still defending your girl Bari? Someone in your position should be held accountable for your statements… but also your work for the Atlantic so… accountability isn’t exactly your forte.
Anyway she’s bringing in Fox News hosts which just screams journalistic integrity 🤣
