I topped up my @PayPal account at the Dollar General and never got my money! I'll keep you posted but as it stands I'm out fifty bucks! Don't top up at the dollar store you won't get your money!

Well, this is a transcendent level of evil: Facebook bought a VPN company and deployed it, in part, to spy on its competitor's users.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/

It's a reminder that VPNs have their own risks, beyond technical ones if operated incompetently -- namely, that you have to trust the VPN company itself.

UPDATED to reflect which users were being spied on.

My cat Loki just batted the heck out of my older cat Morris because he wanted a spot on my lap. Morris took off after that I'm about to charge Loki with assault but to the victor go the spoils I guess!🤷🏼‍♀️ #Caturday

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 128 , Monday 04/03/2024

TL:DR House elf, but not house elf enuf it seems.

Up around 6, made breakfast, emptied the dishwasher , hung the laundry out & then managed to get out for a walk.

Got home to find that herself had been down while I was out & made her mid-morning snack , leaving me the cleaning up to do. I really don’t mind housework, but I object to being taken for granted & treated like staff!

Really struggled to find the motivation to do anything for most of the rest of the day.
Managed to get into ESO a little bit late this afternoon.

Reading Masto this evening while watching the TV & a person I thought of as a friend essentially accused me of being lazy today, which kinda hurt.
I know that I have motivational problems & that for various reasons I have not been super active over the last 6 months or so , but I do try to at least do the minimum to keep house n home together. I have yet to have a full week where I can completely turn off - even when I have been quite seriously ill !
I know there is so much more that I have to do, but I am trying !
Sufficed to say that our relationship is changed as of now. 😔
Reading this has really brought my mood down.

I also caved to another pizza - which I didn’t really enjoy , so major failure!

Final Thoughts.

I generally have a very low self image , today a ‘friend’ successfully dropped it several pegs lower.

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

So. Since @taylorlorenz is now out here attacking, misquoting, deadnaming and dishonoring dead transchildren on her next clout chase to fame, it’s time to get into the predatory and delusional behavior across Clubhouse and Twitter that got her FIRED from NYT. I was there. I saw it first hand. She tried it with me. It failed. So now it’s time to tell the story.

Because what you WONT do is attack and disrespect #nexbenedict and not have me stand on business with this btch.

"Arizona state law already allows property owners to use deadly force against home invaders. This bill would go a step further by expanding authorization of deadly force against anyone who even sets foot on private land without permission, as well as any structure on that land, 'occupied or not.' "

Have they tried rocking that moon lander back and forth a little?

We had dinner with some friends this evening -- five of us in total. After discussing it with Helen earlier in the week, I came out to them as autistic.

I got an interesting set of reactions. Angela (a former headteacher, who I thought knew more about autism) said: "but you're so social." So I said a few words about masking and learning to spend time in company. Lesley replied: "you should have known him when he was young. He was really quite odd." (No, it's fine, we have that kind of relationship.)

I told Angela I thought she'd known for years, and she said she'd suspected it, but only because of my unusual walk. So, if you really want to pass as NT, you need not only to avoid ticcing and stimming, and make eye contact, and say the right things at the right speed, and pull the right faces, but also to get your walk right. Who knew teachers specialised in gait analysis?

So that's it. I'm committed. I'm #ActuallyAutistic now. 🙂

A special counsel's report concludes President Biden took classified information about the war in Afghanistan and other national security matters when he left the vice presidency in 2017, but he will not face criminal charges.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 90 Friday 26/01/24

TL:DR 90 days ! Woo hoo ! Project WOOF is moving forward. On the whole not a bad day .

My sleep pattern continues to be all over the place , sleeping for a couple of hours , waking for an hour or so then sleeping for 4 or 5 hours. Why I cannot get a full nights sleep is beyond me !

I know that I am in a pretty deep depressive episode, inability to sleep, inability to concentrate, some manic behaviour - the sudden & intense exercise routine . Also the loss of socialising ability & a shortage of spoons !

I did manage to get out for a walk to day , after I did my chores , or rather redid the chores that herself had ½ done.

I was in a lot of pain , from various sources , so I only managed a ‘short’ walk of 8k steps , it was a nice sunny day but fighting with various aches & pains somewhat muffled the experience.

Had a nice chat with CDP 🧚‍♀️ when I got home, but we didn’t get chance to play co-op which was a bit of a shame , maybe get a chance on Sunday. 🤞

Spent the afternoon on a ‘Vigil’ season 2 fest which was nice & went wild & had pizza for tea with a couple ciders to wash it down - pure heaven !

Final Thoughts.

A much better day today, although I am in a fairly deep depressive episode. The fact that I’m able to write about it is a good sign that I’m maybe on the way back up.

Project WOOF seems to be progressing in the right direction so thats all good !

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
