If you have reach in Australia, I’d really appreciate a repost! 🙏 I’m nowhere near the numbers I need and will need to extend the prize draw if I don’t get more participants.

Also, if you’re willing (and allowed) to pop up a physical flyer near you, DM me and I can post it to you/send the PDF :)

My autism identification has materially improved my life in a number of ways, not all of which I’d fully articulated to myself before taking this survey.

Autistic AND non-autistic adults living in Australia, can you help out with this research?

Start practicing your scripts now:
💠 "All food is just food."
💠 "I'm not labeling my eating today."
💠 "That's a weird thing to say out loud."

PRO-TIP: Have your phone ready to suddenly need to "take this call" and leave the table.

Just a reminder that if you have ADHD, your RSD can turn "You've gained weight" into "You're unlovable and everyone's been talking about it."

But here's the thing: people who comment on your body at holidays are telling you who THEY are.

You don't need my permission, but if you find yourself in an RSD spiral, remember:

You can leave.

You can fake a work emergency.

You can say "I have to go" and just... go.

You don't need a reason that satisfies them. Protecting your mental health IS the reason.

Hey autistic and non-autistic Aussies. Onorah needs more participants for their research. The survey isn't too long or difficult and it's for a good cause!

Throwback to that time* at PAX Aus when the final Omeganaut was chosen via a KPop Demon Hunters sing-off. Those folks who competed were incredible.

* that time was last month, at PAXAus2025. Why does it feel so long ago?!?
I recently had a dream where I flawlessly sang Golden by HUNTR/X in front of crowd of like 50 people. If only I could do that irl.

Too relatable
I’ve always thought I’m delightfully fucking quirky when all along I’m actually autistic 🤦🏼‍♀️

Dipping my toe (or rather, my pen!) into fancy fountain pen inks. Just finished swatching these beauties and am so keen to use them 😍 no idea what for though, seeing as I don’t write that much by hand anymore.

“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.

(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

One player is Dracula. Write a letter to your reanimated friend, Adam Frankenstein, complaining about the weird lawyer staying in your house. Adam, write back about how wandering the Arctic sucks.

Plan a holiday together.
....makes me want to make some sort of epistolary game of my own, possibly for two players. Possibly invoking Dracula and Frankenstein, the two most famous epistolary novels. (heck, maybe it could be called Dracula To Frankenstein)

Want me to write an eldritch horror with you as one of the character? I have commissions open.
Desperate times, and all that -- I still need to raise money for rent and CC bills.

So offering another #commission: custom stories with you in them - this could be #horror #fantasy or even Slice of life.

Help me boost this post! (DM for discount?)

Just finished Day 5 and had a sneak peek of the protagonist’s commentary upon receiving the Day 6 post and… the anticipation 😍😍😍 I am so here for the drama and need to buy this game for my cosy rpg friends for Xmas so we can discuss.
Also, writing my letters with a dip pen is excellent immersion 🖋️
I was massively dysregulated yesterday so took a break to play a day of My Late Father’s Correspondence* and it was exactly what I needed to get out of my head and distract me from the sounds contributing to my dysregulation. 10/10 recommend

I’m struggling with the mental load of uni/clinic/life rn but as long as I don’t let it impact my sleep, I’m pretty sure this game release will save me 😅 behavioural activation, let’s goooooooo!
TWO DAYS until you open the doors of your taverns in Riverbottom, Halflington, and Gugamush! 🍻

I should mention that I’ve been really happy with the standard-paper-weight paperback journals I’ve had printed through Lulu, and haven’t had any complaints from my Etsy customers, it’s just the hard covers that I don’t like. So I’m gonna try Ingram Spark for print-on-demand hard covers next time.
PSA to anyone getting hard cover books printed by Lulu: they’re just perfect-bound with a hard cover, not case-bound as you might expect by the phrase “traditional hardcover binding”.

And fountain pen ink feathers terribly on their heavier paper, so it’s usable but not ideal for custom journals.
