She's in the testing room now. No time limit so hopefully, it doesn't take her longer than 1.5 hours. I'll need to eat & head to work in time to get there for my first session. 🤞🏻I can finally read or journal & fully fade into my music as I don't have to be aware of anything around me. It's not terrible, but there's a persistent unease in these public spaces that drain my 🥄
Plus my mama heart picks up on her #anxiety & testing is not fun for her #ADHD #autistic#neurodivergent @actuallyautistic
Deep breaths & sigh of relief. This "active noise canceling" feature of earbuds is such a gift for managing sensory stimulation; especially when waiting on public spaces.
Hallo Fediverse! 👋
Ich bin noch ganz neu hier und schaue mich erstmal ein bisschen um, wie das hier so läuft.
Hat jemand Follow-Empfehlungen für mich?
Ich interessiere mich für Literatur, ganz allgemein und insbesondere Phantastik, Geschichte, Soziologie und eigentlich alles Mögliche 😀
Vielleicht lege ich mir hier noch einen Autorenaccount zu, vielleicht bleibt es bei dem hier und mal schauen, ob ich hier ein bisschen was über Lektoratskram poste ... Wir werden sehen 🙂

Tach Ellen! 🙂
Verstärkung an der Schreiberlings-Front. Schön!
Dystopien können ihren Reiz haben. Meiner Serie sagt man auch dystppische Züge nach, obwohl sie gar nicht so gedacht war.
Fühl Dich wohl hier!

Hallo allerseits! 👋 🙂 Ich bin der Markus, Romanautor für Fantasy und Science Fiction, außerdem Illustrator, RPG-Designer und vieles mehr. Hauptsächlich bin ich hier auf Mastodon, um über meine Bücher, das Schreiben und allgemein kreative Betätigung zu plaudern. Ich bin gespannt, wen ich hier so alles kennenlernen werde. 😊
@kcarr2015 Yeah, the whole "is this person still that person" was interesting. It's one thing that Star Trek does pretty well presenting these dilemmas, Measure of Man, is another case, as well as the VOY episode where the Doctor wrote a holonovel and his publisher is like, you're not a person so this work belongs to us. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
My first client is late today, so y'all get my braindumps this morning. I am 46. I guess that's in the window of possibly starting to experience #perimenopause. I haven't been able to determine if my temp regulation issues are because of #autism#anxiety or perimenopause. But they started getting really bad last yr. My husband had bought this same #Embr Wave Cooling Bracelet for his dad when he was going through chemo. It had helped him, so he bought one for me. 1/

🥹 I understand. There are generations of patriarchal socializing and shaming 😒 that produce an unsafe and female body shaming environment. It's in the water as the say...#feminism has come a ways, but there's a ways more to go.

Left school thinking 2nd wave feminism had fixed everything. In my first job in a bank, 1977, ascthecjuniorci made coffee for everyone when the doors closed at 3pm. When we got a new junior, it was still my job. The new junior was male. And when the female advance clerk got a promotion, I heard someone ask who she’d slept with.
