What's the thing where you reflexively say you're busy just to avoid things you don't wanna actually do, and then people stop asking if you want to do things, and you're kinda okay with that sorting itself out but acknowledge that it has tremendous drawbacks that interfere with other things you might wanna do?
Cause I still do that and its embarrassing in so many ways but like, I also don't wanna be an implacable curmudgeon, cause I'm not. Or at least I don't think I am.
If even one person ever popped me on it, like, 'are you really busy or just telling me that' I would admit I was just telling them that for my own reasons, and nervously chuckle through it, but nobody ever has. I would actually be super impressed if someone popped me on it because that would mean they really know how I work and know me then.

The Mad Scholars Anthology Project is finally happening.
Mad Scholars: Reclaiming and Reimagining the Nuerodiverse Academy
Edited by Melanie Jones and Shayda Kafai, this book contains chapters by numerous Mad Academics, including myself.
Published by Syracuse University Press
"...one of the most timely, conscious, and robust contributions to the field of Mad Studies that I have yet to encounter. The world needs this book, and it needs it right now." - Syracuse Reviewer
My chapter is called "The Subject is Mad" and flits about through various vignettes of madness from Academia to childhood, and explores how madness informs practices of reading, writing, speaking, and percieving.
Of my own chapter, a reviewer wrote, "It’s beautiful; it also gestures toward a variety of Mad epistemological interventions while leaning heavily into Mad stylistics. I appreciate the way they emphasize Mad community and ancestry."

@FractalEcho wow - the above future publication about neurodiversity in academia will be of interest to the @actuallyautistic and also the @actuallyadhd and other ND folks, I believe!
I saw this in Carole and Tuesday, they were the only “natural” songwriters left because computers wrote songs for everyone at that point. I don’t know if that’s a realistic take, but it’s depressing nonetheless. Why can’t we have computers do things that take joy from us instead of the things that bring us joy? You know, like cleaning up dumps or solving problems we would rather not think about? Why are they taking the arts away?
the first thing I do when I get a new phone is turn off audio and haptic feedback ... the scene where O'Brien is trying to move the space station made me realize that #StarTrek would be hell for me @actuallyautistic
