BREAKING NEWS: Eric Trump devastated to learn White House Ballroom will be a formal event space and not a giant ball pit.

This guy just nailed it

looking at the epstein ballroom that Microsoft "donated" money to and thinking back on how they used to get salty at me, a lone engineer, when I took too long to do my annual "compliance" training which involved watching a video and taking a quiz about how it's wrong and against company policy to bribe public officials for preferential treatment in business.

If you're the "programmer" for the Daily Mail's website, take a bow. It's so badly designed with so many ads and popups that it crashes browsers and is virtually impossible to read - most people give up. I tip my hat to you sir, you're doing the lord's work.

Sometimes it’s OK to just enjoy something without deeply considering the subtleties of its cultural connotations

Spotted someone’s eye-rolling post about CSD being cheesy/cringey nonsense and was tempted to reply to agree. It was never going to be cool, if anything it’s mildly irritating, the point is I wanted to create a Day and consciously picked something that people could enjoy on a simple, uncool level

🥪 Aaaand that was #CrispSandwichDay 2025! Here’s one more round-up of last night’s sarnies, thanks to everyone who celebrated and shared their pics

It's a small thing but putting tags inside clothes is so obviously stupid it defies comprehension. I would wear everything inside out if the seams weren't designed be comfortable in the opposite direction. Fuck I hate autism.

That time of year I have to check which 1:45am it is

so I put an onion on my domain, which was the style at the time

I do not know the woman who created this sign, but I salute her.

Side note about the rook. After it had spent some time gazing into the tree top and the sky beyond with a look of wonder in its eyes, it turned to me and my camera with disdain. I swear it was channeling the Teenager - this is the exact stare they give me when I take too many photos 😆

Today I met a rook who was DELIGHTED with something it could see higher up in the tree, but I know not what that was 🤷‍♀️

Also met this jackdaw in the same tree. Less delighted, more thoughtful. Contemplating the passing of the seasons, no doubt.

So, my little Etsy shop has been doing well lately. 🎨

When I was first diagnosed as #ADHD and #Autistic several years ago, I carried a lot of shame around things like fidgeting and repetitive movements. With time, I’ve learned to understand myself better and let go of that stigma. This journey is what pushed me to start making fidgets and neurodivergent-focused tools for others, and to share them online. I put a lot of care into creating thoughtful items that I hope genuinely improve people’s lives.

To any who have supported me and found my products useful, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me and allowing me to help. 💜

So - yay. All that to say that I’m happy. 😊 (Edit: see some of my favourite creations attached)
