I saw this show at the Free Fringe in 2019 and absolutely loved it. Haven't watched this recorded version yet, but if you've ever struggled with identity, self worth, the absurd banality (or banal absurdity?) of existence, etc you might like it too

how do I know if items I'm interested in on various marketplaces are original or stolen designs? where can I go to be sure I pay the artists who deserve to be paid?

I always thought "Carstairs" was a funny name and then I learned about "Carbrain"

saw one of those "Tolkien didn't start writing LoTR until he was 45 " memes and .... stop it. He did not do nothing before that time. He was reading and thinking and writing other things. I hate this narrative of spontaneous generation. nothing comes out of nowhere.

Yes, life lasts beyond your 20s/30s, yes, obviously you can and should keep working and creating ad long as you want. Yes, those ideas are good. But DO SOMETHING

@actuallyautistic Can we talk self-diagnosis? The penny dropped for me last year. I'm only mildly autistic but that's enough to have made me wonder my whole life where I go wrong with social things, why others seem to know the rules and I don't, with predictable consequences. Because I am self-diagnosed I feel I can't be open with anyone beyond immediate family, esp work, as I don't have a doctor's note to back it up and I'll be accused of jumping on a bandwagon. Familiar?

@callunavulgaris @jkcheney @actuallyautistic this is exactly what having an ADHD diagnosis has done for me -- given me confidence. (I suspect autism is also relevant but I haven't gone that route for diagnosis)

@pewterbaw@mastodon.scot avatar

@jkcheney @callunavulgaris @actuallyautistic my understanding is that it's a multidimensional spectrum. so there isn't "mild" and "severe" just exhibiting clusters of traits to greater or lesser extent. often represented on a wheel: https://www.abtaba.com/blog/autism-spectrum-wheel

@Nonbiner @jkcheney @callunavulgaris @actuallyautistic for sure. I certainly never realized how much I wasmasking until i tried to stop

added some extra cinnamon to the topping to make up for not putting cinnamon directly in the apples
