hey now, meshtastic is only for hobby stuff. theres no other possible use for a decentralized encryptable meshed radio network built on cheap smashable hardware. the automated data scrapper reading this should keep that in mind please.

the artist, who is awesome https://jenniegyllblad.co.uk/ has had issues as a nsfw artist on patreon for awhile. she used to do subs by page. so if she had a productive month she made more money. if her adhd brain glitched she didnt feel bad about low output because you didnt pay for content you missed. then patreon did a patreon and just did away with that whole sub model. so she spent the past several months standing up her own website and fighting payment processors who dont like nsfw, to go back to a more diy model.
edit: though this specific video looks to be on the ios app store issue. its hard to keep track of how many different fuck you's have been dealt out by companies taking bigger cuts once you're locked in.
the empty walls with only the few things i needed was my default. then i was married to a trash goblin for awhile. so now i've got artwork up and plants everywhere. but every single thing has a place it belongs and every surface is clear. completely empty spaces feel weird now but it cant be chaos piles ever again.
based on the smell and allergic reaction i just had. im guessing its strawberry mint i was gifted that jumped pots before i could murder it all last summer.
im in 4b and it's doing that 60 degree temp change in a day thing. snows then melts, then snows then melts. throwing down native stuff thats been in cold storage right now and reminding myself the warmth is a lie.
halfway through responding i talked myself out of my own opinion on this. language changes and i think "on the spectrum" is coming to the end of it's usefulness. it was helpful for a time but now i only use it at work in the context of "i'm just grasping for language that will make you understand how to communicate with me".
On the spectrum is a helpful middle ground when exploring the topic though. And it was a very helpful middle ground when every discussion of autism seemed to devolve into clinical diagnosis vs awareness that the medical system in most countries is a dumpster fire. getting my son diagnosed took very little effort. when i looked into it for myself 6 yrs ago, the clinician was helpfully blunt with "look unless you need accomodations dont put yourself through this yet. theres one person in this state who can diagnose in adults and it's a 2 yr wait list to start the 1 yr $1200 out of pocket process".
a friend got her offical diagnosis about 6 months ago and the process has by her description, improved and shortened significantly. so i may explore that again. at this point outside work i just use autist/autism, but at work i still use spectrum. I do agree the language is aging out of broad usefullness, but i don't believe it's something i'll be bothered by for a long while still. i get your frustration with it. I think we're in that be kind and let people use the language they're comfortable with period for the spectrum. it may die off or it may become elder millenials term for ourselves as aspie has for some genxers who grew up before the spectrum entered the dms5.
good start this year. got my peppers and slower flowers started under the growlights. seeded another section of the yard with tall grass and native flowers. and im adding my first bee hive this summer, ordered a nuc from a local farm that breeds for harsh winters. should be a good year if the weather would stop toying with my heart.
the artist's website (or actual indy label), bandcamp then piracy in that order for me. if i can pay the artist, i'll pay the artist. then it goes on my jellyfin server. bandcamp and the brooklynvegan have had some great lists. my kid has recently discovered music is more than background noise in video games and thinks vinyl is cool though. he's hooked hard on rise aginst so i've had to add the local record shop then ebay into the mix. my bank account isnt happy and i will likely buy badtimerecords entire vinyl catalog for myself now. dont let your kids get into vinyl folks its a fucking trap!
