I like food
(random) You bastard! Some people don't have any!

I'm a bit hot today
(rando) You absolute arse! Some people are cold today!

I love breathing
(randominium) You're so selfish! Don't you know some people live at really high altitudes and experience thinner atmosphere!

I exist
((B)random (Flowers)) You evil monster! Don't you know some people don't exist!?

a,

@TheBreadmonkey I have twice in a year here, been called worse things than anywhere else. Those two individuals may have been having a bad day/sense of humour failure, or maybe my stupid self deprecating gag in one instance and relatable meme in another were just over the line for them, but clearly not the majority of others. Still, this is a better place. 🤷🏻‍♂️

a,

@TheBreadmonkey True dat. I fully admit that those two incidents are the reason I don’t post more and the reason I draft many posts and delete them before I hit send. That’s probably for the best tbh. 😅

a,

@hilljam Yes! I have a rack Alesis Quadraverb and MIDIverb 4, they are so much fun. I feed one into the other to get really grimy sounds.
There’s a reason I never bought Fabfilter Pro-R (I do have all of Valhalla’s plugins tho)! 😊

Here’s another fantastic lo-fi ‘verb:

@actuallyautistic My coach was suggesting blue light glasses to help reduce overwhelm in supermarkets. Do people find they help? Does something else help more?

a,

@twt @actuallyautistic Supermarkets make me want to hyperventilate. I appreciate it when they stop the music and turn down the lighting, but this is so inconsistent it might be worth giving filter lenses a shot. I tend to go out with active noise cancelling headphones on as well. The cacophony of sound hits me harder than the visual overwhelm. 😅

a,

@dbc3 @twt @actuallyautistic Excellent 😂

If You're a man who is 30+

What is the historical time period You're obsessed with?

a,

@RickiTarr I grew up listening to my gran’s WWII stories, but am not really obsessed with it. I’m more of a horrified futurist. 😩

I'm pretty sure most couples that have been together awhile just have the same fight over and over under different guises.

What is the fight you have over and over?

Ours is probably He wasn't paying attention, I was being bossy. LOL

Planners, lists, and tools for humans may actually make our anxiety worse when we don't follow thru.

They can also be life changing.

Everyone is different.

In either case, one FIRST needs to give themselves grace and accept and appreciate the fact that we don't need to and cannot do everything, all the time.

So, the hubs and I have a one of the long term couple debates about when is the best time to shower.

For me, a shower is calming and relaxing, so I tend to do it in the evening or before bed.

He says it's refreshing and energizing, so it helps him wake up, and get going in the morning.

How about y'all, is it relaxing, refreshing, something in between, or something different entirely? When do you normally do it? Have you always done it the same or have you changed over the years?

a,

@RickiTarr Best in the evening before bed for me. The heat activates fatigue as part of my MS symptoms, so I use it as a way to get to sleep. If I want to stay awake, I’d have to have a cool shower and I do not enjoy that. 😅

I just realized it's my Mastoversary! I'm gonna name a couple fun things from this year:

You all sharing your art with me on

Beige.party Conference in Tampa! Thanks @Alice for arranging that!

Learning about all of you through the questions I have asked, I was gonna name a few specific ones, but then the list kept getting longer and longer, so suffice to say, It's something I've enjoyed a lot, and I appreciate everyone who's taking the time to respond.

Those few days where we all talked about the epic life and times of one John Mastodon.

I made a toot going over Eugen Rochko's various hairstyles, and he showed he was a good sport, and favorited the post. If I had done that on Twitter, Musky would have permablocked me.

A little extra shout out to all the Trans, Ace, and various other LGBTQ+ Communities who have answered my probing and somewhat intrusive questions with openness and kindness.

Getting to see all your faces with one of my favorite positivity cheerleaders @Mary625

A shout out to Beige.party administrator @theropologist for taking out the trash when necessary, not having to worry about whether something is gonna be done when the Hitler Youth show up is such a relief. Plus all the work he's done in general keeping the place up and running, so I could goof off with my friends.

OMG not having to see ads, the only time I see something for sale is dope art made by cool people that I'm actually happy to see!

All the beautiful photos and videos of nature with hilarious hashtags and of course, adorable animals

Alright, I was only going to do a few, but I did more. Honestly, the last couple days have been rough for me due to some personal issues, but making this list has helped me remember some great times, and that there will be great times in the future, so thanks!

    How did my comrades come to know that they’re autistic?

    @actuallyautistic

    a,

    @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic

    I put in my profile recently. Lightly touching the spectrum and very definitely , but self diagnosed because I can’t get assessed here (Fife, Scotland). Mental health services are stretched and people like me are subject to a post code lottery meaning services vary widely by region and my region is very limited. What services they provide have to go to people with way more difficulties than me. I would have to pay a significant fee to be tested and there’s no money to spare for that.

    I started looking into it about a year ago and joining the fediverse, seeing what other people were posting about and doing some tests recommended by others which showed up my tendencies as not being neurotypical.

    Have dyscalculia, misophonia, probably dysgraphia, sensory issues with certain textures (the feeling of foam rubber or sweeping brush bristles on concrete can make me curl up and wail hysterically 😂) Sound and smell, taste sensitivities as well. All of this was completely missed in my school years - ‘78-‘89.

    At school, according to educators, I was a lazy dreamer. I exhibit most of the classic ADHD tendencies.

    I’ve wrestled with saying these things out loud, because who gets diagnosed or just discovers/realises this in their 50s!? Looks around 👀 OH! Plenty of us it seems.

    There are, sadly, plenty of doubters around, but they’re not worth listening to. I’m dropping that kind of negativity like a hot stone these days.

    a,

    @TheBreadmonkey Bros story - I was made to accompany my sister to a Bros concert, my dad refused to go and dropped us off at the Edinburgh Playhouse. The lads appeared on stage in their union flag boxer shorts. Then the screaming started and didn't end for the next 90 minutes. Being in the nosebleeds, there was no escape. Pretty sure this is how I ended up with severe tinnitus. A thousand screaming teen girls will destroy your hearing pretty quick.

    @doug @TheBreadmonkey See, if I had seen Prince, I think that would be something to look back on with maybe a bit of awe, but it was Bros. 🤦🏻‍♂️
