I've always been drawn to the phrase "in this corner”

because it works both for introverts and sparring.

Over the past few days I have tried to just act without self-consciousness, and it has been pretty great.

I don't mean not thinking about what I'm doing. No, I am doing what I am thinking.

@artemis Well, this sounds quite familiar.

Loneliness hit me hard today. And the big contradiction is that I also feel better alone being autistic and I know that there is no solution to this. So how do you cope with this my fellow autistic?

Cassandra,
@Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

@adelinej This is something I really appreciate about the internet. I can participate to the extent I want for connection, while still being the necessary degree of alone.

Cassandra,
@Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

@adelinej I hope the feeling of loneliness subsides soon. [heart]

Dear collectibles geeks, "mint in box" is some grade A capitalist bull shit.

@JeremyMallin Hmm. Presumably overlaps with the mentality that “a girl is a flower" and experience crushes petals.

I think a spaniel is standing as candidate in my constituency!

It's possible that the human could be the candidate, but I don't reckon so. He's presumably just an assistant.

I'm voting spaniel.

@RolloTreadway You could write “the spaniel" on your ballot just to be sure.

Hey FoD’s, our Code 47 segments can “ramble on and on about some things everybody gets shown.” Should we keep it as is, move it exclusively to YouTube, or occasionally have an Oops All Code47 episode? Let us know!

Cassandra,
@Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

@mikey @GreatestTrek I agree that they’re fun and should be kept. I usually end up checking them out on youtube after, especially to see the artwork. Some talented FoDs!

@Mepurfield Ah! Well then I hope it again makes the sense you're looking for.

This seems like both a personal cry for help and an indication that you work for a dangerously dysfunctional organization

@kjhealy Do I get paid three fees / salaries in this scenario?

We have an exciting announcement!

Today, we're introducing Comfort Zone, a new MacStories podcast all about pushing ourselves out of our, well, comfort zones.

Each week, @matt, @ChrisLawley and I will talk about a new piece of technology that we’ve been using — and one of us will surprise the other two hosts with a new challenge to mix things up in our technology stacks. 🌶️

Read the full announcement on @macstories: https://www.macstories.net/news/introducing-the-latest-macstories-podcasts-next-portable-console-and-comfort-zone/

It amuses me to write really intricate poetry and then assign each unit the blandest title possible.

@looneybyron This sounds really difficult. I wish I could help.

How the heck do in-ear buds not irritate the Hell out of everyone?? 😵‍💫

Cassandra,

@JeremyMallin They bug the shit out of me, but it's about their refusal to stay put rather than the feeling of them.

@GayOldTime Wow, I can't think of what marketing was going for here other than pimping out chefs.
