Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

@skydog Some companies back then, did make novelty items as give-aways to business customer reps. Looks like they made a lot of things with brass. @KarenDorman @sewing

@skydog I wonder. Are they connected to Hadley company from Toledo, founded in 1945?@KarenDorman @sewing

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 198 , Monday 13/05/2024

Up early for some reason beyond this simple squirrels reasoning.
Tidied up after herself, did my chores & went for a walk in the warm early summer sunshine !

I cannot seem to find the impetus to get stuff done, I work best to a deadline & the only person pushing me at the moment is me, which would be fine but I have minimal motivation levels at the moment.

I’m wondering from day to day like a leaf blowing in the breeze, no direction, no purpose.
At least the days are warm now & a lot sunnier, saving energy is easier , my lone mission to drag our energy bills down is less onerous in the summer.

Final Thoughts.

I suspect that I am going through a depressive episode, I hope I come through to the other side soon.

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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

"lf a person refused to (unmask), that right there should cause you some sense of alarm."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams continues to encourage businesses to request customers to unmask. This is ableist, puts people's health at risk, and is NOT required by law.

For AuDHD:

Which terms do you prefer to use?

Do you use ‘have’ or ‘I am’ to describe your autism and ADHD?

Personally, I’m the first one and use ‘I am’ to describe both.

Just curious to see how common each one is. 🙂

Mentioned to a coworker that I'm getting some books, for example on autism, and as they showed interest in the topic, proceeded to lightly info dump. Did give some space so that it was a true conversation. However, it reminded me of a thing I've been pondering.

As I present male, I've always been overly cautious of not mansplaining -- or at least ever since I learned about the term. Now that I know I'm autistic, I understand it's entangled with having learned that NTs don't like infodumping.

Whatever the cause, I have a tendency to stay silent even if I know about the topic at hand but aren't 100% certain that it's appropriate to talk about it. Sometimes it makes me sad.

@felyashono Spot on. Example of mansplaining: Telling the author about her own publication or research programme in a condescending manner. Reply guy is just butting in with a comment.
Perhaps we should say "this subject fascinates me" before infodumping?

BinChicken, to Eurovision
@BinChicken@rants.au avatar

I'm a huge fan of the Eurovision Song Contest, but this year I'm boycotting Eurovision.

Eurovision has always been political. Its purpose is political by seeking to unite Europe with the power of love of music over the power of hate and war.

In previous years, I celebrated the overt shows of support for Ukraine, LGBTQIA people, and other oppressed people.

But this year, the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest have chosen ignore calls for BDS and allowed Israel to enter, and they have chosen to ban other participants from showing even support of the people of Palestine.

If you think the Eurovision Song Contest has chosen an appalling stance on this issue, you're not alone. The Israel singer was booed off stage, and there have been a record number of protests against Eurovision inside the auditorium, outside this year's venue in Malmö, and in many participating countries around the world.

@BinChicken And they claim they are not political. HA!

Sitting in the bus after a day at work. Feeling tired. The meeting that ended the day dragged on and I stopped even trying to follow the discussion. I haven't listened to music in a bus in ages but now I find myself thinking that maybe I should buy a set of noise-canceling headphones.

The bus is hissing loudly, there are conversations that I can't hear which somehow makes them even more annoying. On top of all I'm sitting under a loudspeaker that plays the stop signal in a very loud tone. Shit, it rang again and startled me. Why does it have to be that loud?

Fortunately I'm not too far from home but still.

@timrichards Why do scientists believe this is play? They're being quite selective re the size, and it's more interesting that they have only sunk 7, with no fatalities.
