Could someone tell me the reported demographics of DCA "random selection" at security?

Omg!! I've been reading gourmet hound annually since it was coming out weekly!! So exciting to see new story from the author + it's aroace focused!!!

Hello, I'm Robyn/Leehama and I make comics (Gourmet Hound, Flowerpot)! My current project is "And Another Lovely Day", a (non) rom-com about two aroace coworkers who, after a meet cute outside of work, mistakenly believe the other is in love with them 🌟 www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/an...

Interdependence is beautiful and I love it. Watching my friends tell the bars dj to not play flashing lights (I'm a seizure risk) and check in with me during the night <3

I'm supposed to watch as the foundation for my citizenship is destroyed, while I complete a PhD concerning my disability, watch science become censored, propaganda run rampant, access to info and resources on queerness be destroyed, and also just, go to work????

Trying to turn my indignation and anger at the lack of autistic voices in research into fuel for writing my diss proposal (like... So few researchers even use self report bc they're worried about validity or if an asd person can communicate "correctly")

Turned into a 30 min nap.

I'm so fucking tired of being sick in ways that don't make sense to others not even to Drs. Why do I spend episodes laying on the couch unable to take care of myself sick to my stomach half scared my brain is making me think I'm sick and half scared I'm sick but no one will believe me

I am learning to recognize what a shit dad I had growing up

My dad also used to hint at that I was "fat" even though I was chronically underweight bc he assumed that I must be all fat due to not doing any "real" exercise or sports. I was horseback riding, doing gymnastics, aerial dance, rock climbing, hiking w/ friends, and swimming the whole time

Really sad realising the first person to call me "yellow" was my dad (white) and I was like 13 :( my first experiences with racism were my family and it hurts

I'm halfway done with the Chevron patterned blanket!! Going to try to finished the skein Ive got for the beaded piece tomorrow.

Crochet projects I'm focusing my attention on this weekend

Ahhhhh this govt shutdown has really thrown a spanner in the works!! Im crashing out a little trying to figure out my timelines!:

Just did Dad night out version of party night: drove over early to visit, socialize, and "get ready" with the pals. Chaffeured everyone around as the DD and sent them off to the metro. Said gnight and went home to bed. Love that I can find ways to work w/ my disabilities to accommodate myself

God is a woman I am blessed with everyone around me

I have been thinking about the artistry and love in GDT Frankenstein since I saw it in theaters. Beautiful. Everything I've ever loved about making movies was in there.

Taking suggestions on simple to prepare it already prepared food that is calorie and nutrient dense. Living with low appetite and prone to nausea but I know I need to stay fed!

Realising I made a mistake in reading updates to the grant proposal (read 2025 as 2026), have an upset stomach from stress, fighting my low appetite to get enough calories, but feeling so loved and supported! Stressed but not alone!

Using my focus bean app so much to deep focus on my f31 app!!

Magic focus hour(s) were blessed to me so I wrote a mostly complete first draft of my background and training doc in three hours!! I should wear my ANC headphones more bc they definitely helped!

There's something so sweet about writing my biosketch, reflecting on the 10 years I've been in higher education (started college at 16!), then looking over to see coffee mugs with my undergrad uni and my current grad lab <3 every day my love for science grows fiercer

I'm learning to adjust my mentality from "oh I'm so lazy bc I do X thing" to "I need to accommodate my disability so I do X thing". Slow mornings, slow wake ups, intentional routines are part of my autistic needs!

I just realised that I have unmasked so much since moving out of my parents. I am so comfortable with myself nowadays. I can ask lots of questions I can clarify myself or ask for specificity in my odd way and people are patient with me.

Me and my household are all on edge bc my ex (who I broke up with last month!) is overstepping boundaries and being pushy as well as claiming I ghosted them (we broke up) overwhelmed with this anxiety that they will show up to my house and confront us

Absolutely overcome with joy that zohran mamdani has been elected new york mayor!!!

Crocheted a cat bear beanie :)

Shout-out to the beverage buckaroos who get it. Also shout out to my friends who came over to be with me at last minute!!

Office hours companion!

Left: 3 books I picked up at 2nd&C as they've been on my TBR list and at the top of my mind recently. Right: two books I read in Oct. Didn't finish as my grant proposal ate up so much brain energy but happy to read them (1st time babel)

The grief and isolation of trauma queerness hits me sometimes

I'm actually so tired of Drs and being the only advocate for myself in the room. I'm so tired of guessing "how much research do I need to do in order for a dr to take me seriously"

Simple little things

I have therapy assigned fanfic writing homework

I have to wear a heart monitor for a while and I'm so glad that my symptoms are flaring while wearing the monitor but so frustrated that I have to deal with the symptoms at all. I have work I need to do and want to do but it's clouded behind chronic illnesses

I think "delulu" is the most godawful slang word rn, I think it first of all is incredibly ableist (I thought we moved past using delusional as an insult???) And shortening it to "delulu" in an effort to make it funnier somehow just feels like a cheese grater on my brain

Bout every day I go through the shame guilt cycle in relation to my PhD. I feel like I'm never doing enough, and then when I am able to be productive, I get incredibly excited. When the work stops, the guilt returns.

It is so hard to celebrate mid autumn festival when I have been broken away from my family. I have no shrine to light incense at, no ancestors to pray to. I love mid autumn festival bittersweetly.

I'm begging ppl to pls stop using "those dumb anti abortion ppl don't even adopt kids" as an argument for why anti abortion ppl are dumb Adoption doesn't make anyone better than other parents & it's an incredibly difficult and complex thing. Adopting/not adopting are not moral compass points.

Sometimes the spirit or ghosts of stories possess me and bounce around my mind for ages until I release them into a doc in which I write 1k words in 30 minutes and feel like a god for the rest of the day. Today is a spirit day but my laptop is DEAD

Trying to decide if I want to make social media dedicated to sharing my xp being autistic in a PhD. Trying to be less internet present, but also want to document this v valuable journey

Picking hard topics in therapy makes therapy hard :( it's not all lore dumping and feeling better it's now frustration and "I don't want to work on my own self destructive habits"

I hope the world knows this little beast is so loved by me

Hanfu for Xiao! My first hanfu ever 🩵
