Saccharine Offensiveness

Just like little kids saying "sugar", they know they'll get in trouble for saying the actual word they want to.

Hello From Periodicals

I have a joke that I use when things are piling up on me: I have so many issues that I could run a periodicals library.

Juggling Moments

I've had a disruption to my usual sequence of operations, and hammering out a new one is -er- "interesting". As in, "may you live in interesting times" brand of "interesting".

LLM's

Revolution Against AI

You should be well aware that I have opinions about Large Learning Models. Mainly that the techbros who insist they're good after all can go fuck off and die in a fire. Especially the ones that just outright stole all the grist for their "AI" mill.

Actually Autistic

Representation Vs Autism: Good When Useful

Kind of makes an Autiste like me believe that society will only think me worthy of my keep if I'm somehow profitable.

Whoopsy Doopsy

I'm feeling like a slacker despite getting lots of stuff done. The grindset has got to me, my dear readers. I feel like I'm failing you if I miss just one thing that I should have done. Never mind playing catch-up the next day, as I

Dear Diary...

Over the passage of several baking days, I began to suspect something was awry.

Action Needed

If you’ve been following my daily diary entries on my hub site, or paying attention to my Tumblr feed, you may already know that I’m more than a little miffed with the Department of Status Quo of late.

Working Things Out in Meatspace

There have to be thousands of tools to help writers out there. I automatically avoid all the ones that are pay-to-play because I'm firkin broke.

I have not been looking after myself that great. I know this. I recognise this. I would much rather be writing something because that’s the fun bit.

‘Tis the season…

Adventures in Myopialand

Yes, folks, this is my Nightcrawler build D&D character.

These Humans Are Crazy – It Ain’t That Bad

Statistically speaking, a mentally disabled person is more likely to be attacked or harmed by a sane person than the other way around.

Actually Autistic

Follow, Follow-up

Let me tell you about this cock-up of epic proportions called “diagnosis”.

The Unobservant Effect

I would like to make this clear that I have absolutely, positively no idea whether or not this is a co-morbidity of my ASD, if it’s a Writer Thing(tm)…

Autism and Me, Part Two: Coping Strategies Good, Bad, and Atrocious

I was a child for the era in which measles could kill a kid. Hell, I had schoolmates who thought I had died, the year I caught all the spots. They were greatly disappointed that I was still alive, but that’s not the point of this particular diatribe.

Autism and Me, Part One: Public School Attitude

Back in the 70’s, Asperger’s didn’t exist. Even if it did, I didn’t fit all the checkboxes.

I Keep on Hurting Myself

I have a part of my own brain that hates me. There have been times where I’ve joked that there’s a gremlin living in there and causing havoc.

Who Cares?

I've been working on this blog for some time now, and I thought I had followers. I thought people were reading these things. Turns out, once again, I'm shouting into the darkness of the void, with no response whatsoever from the enormous gulfs of whatever. I
