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.

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?!?

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.
25 tiny ink bottles, photographed from above and on top of a cardboard box. Each bottle has a white rectangular sticker on its lid with a splotch of ink showing its colour. Most of the inks have a shimmer in them. The box is labelled “Diamine Inkvent 2023 - Purple Unboxed Complete Line 12ml & 30ml Bottles www.pulpaddiction.com.au “

“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.
hellkitty.bsky.social Famous FNU! @hellkitty.bsky.social · 23d
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)

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

* a 1-2player game by @storybrewersroleplaying.com
Two books side by side, with a pot of ink and a dip pen. Both bear the title “My Late Father’s Correspondence” and indicate that it is a “read and reply” style game. The left book is wire-bound with a painted image of a regency-era woman and flowers in the foreground and a manor and clouds resembling a man’s face in the background. The right book is a notebook covered in quasi-vintage-style washi tape and a bookplate with its title. It’s not pretty, but I tried. A closed notebook lies atop an open spiral-bound book, and a pot of ink and a dip pen are positioned in the top-right of the frame. Both books bear the title “My Late Father’s Correspondence” The notebook is covered in quasi-vintage-style washi tape and a title bookplate. The vibes and colours of the washi tape almost match the lovely brown wood/aged paper/dried flowers in the artwork on the book’s pages. The notebook is not pretty, but I tried.

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.
onorah.bsky.social Onorah @onorah.bsky.social · Oct 20
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.
Screenshot from the Lulu website of their hardcover case wrap option. The image of the book is angled to hide the binding and the text reads: 24-800 pages Traditional hardcover binding with the cover image printed on the cover. Casewrap binding is most often used for textbooks and hardcover portfolios.
