There was a thing called fun and people knew how to have it.

Three wonderful things that happened today:

• I was offered accomodations without having so ask for them
• I was called an amazing parent
• my kids gave me their first ever hand made Mother’s Day cards… addressed to “my special person” rather than Mum no less!

CPC debating about drugs tonight. Eh, I don't think we're watching the same ads 😂 🤨

"I remember growing up as a teenager in the 1980s, and we would see commercials on TV. One commercial said, “This is your brain, and this is your brain on drugs.”

What are the commercials that we see right now? “Do drugs with a friend.”

Nikita doesn’t allow me to eat alone.

She came up to me while I was eating my dinner and starts asking me to pet her (she’s an affection eater).

Me: why do I always got to pet you while I eat, why can’t you pet me while I eat?

Nikita: pets me by rubbing her head all over my leg and arm

Sweet kitty. :RedHearts:

As a general rule, I avoid posting or reposting quotations from famous people unless they're accompanied with the citation of or link to a reasonably good source. But I so very, very often want to boost the quotes I agree with even if I am unsure of their true provenance. sigh

Hey everyone, I thought this would be a great place to ask this question…

I’m studying at uni to become a counsellor, coming to the end of year so we’ve decided to do topics we’d love to know more about. I have to make a leaflet like you’d find in a GP surgery with facts about neurodivergence (it’s cool, I picked the topic with me being autistic) for others to learn from.

I have tonnes of great stuff to include but wanted to ask you guys for any ideas you might have?

We don’t all need to buy the exact same things that we use occasionally. We should have organized borrowing.

I order some Products from the United States.

The cost is $88 CAD.

There's a fixed international shipping cost of $48 CAD. Frustrating, but that is what the shipper has, so okay.

A couple days later, I get an email from UPS asking to pay the import duty fee. The import fee is $51 CAD.

That is more than half the cost of the product itself. I'm overall paying more for shipping+import fees than for the product.

When I moved here I assumed I could buy stuff from USA cheap because of NAFTA :(

I'm thinking about meditation again. I have always thought that the point of meditaion is to endure the impossible pain of being alive. I mean just to sit and breathe is to be really vulnerable with all sensory sensitivities, for me mostly sounds. And feeling your body so intensely. So, I always thought that the whole point is to sit and make yourself endure all of it, no matter how bad it feels.

Ugh… had to remove and reinstall all our smart lamps (smart plugs actually) after today's split second power outage. 🙃

What a pain. It shouldn't have to be that complicated or that sensitive to power fluctuations.

The House is sitting until midnight tonight and tomorrow, and it's not even June yet.

It will suck to do this for six more weeks and not get the summer off like the other translators (I'll get a few extra days). Going back will suck until we figure out a way to bring me over permanently.

I got a haircut today. Never my favourite experience, but she confirmed my hair's looking healthier, so I think I'm on the right track for healing.

I never understood why they always want to make hair huge. "What is that disproportionately large round ball on your neck?” "Oh, that's my hairlmet, I just got it done.”

I asked her to make it heavier. It is now definitely in the Vulcan - Bajoran range. [thumbs up]

Another game of Fit to Print on the table. We usually play new games a couple of times to get the rules in our heads. This time I won and I played way better than a few days ago. #BoardGames

I did a lot of thinking and Autistic Bookshop needs to diversify it's income sources.

30% profit at an average of $1.97 on book sales means the store will never pay for itself.

So I created a merch collection to help.

I had some reading and writing themed designs already, so will add more later.

Google should eventually bring people to this once the store has built up some authority, which is mainly how a merch collection will help.

I really think that Musk made the logo for the social medium platform he acquired and ruined an X because he wouldn't have gotten away with making it an outright swastika.

I was audibly incredulous at my partner when he phoned just now in response to a text I'd sent.

I’d asked him to send a link for the thing he had emailed about.

He said my request was unclear.

It made me want to give up on language entirely. If this was unclear, communication is literally impossible.

Then I realized the issue was actually that he hadn't bothered to read thoughtfully and had just instinctively phoned in response as per his communication preferences.

Which movie I recorded on a whim and likely won't get all the way through should I watch?
