Autism and ADHD diagnoses are hard enough to access anyway, often taking years, and then support after is generally non-existent for autistic folk who are considered able to function with minimal support and medication for ADHD is often the only support ADHDers are offered.

This. I'm Gen X, and yes, I had a feral childhood. As an undiagnosed AuDHD-but-very-academic child with a very complicated relationshipwith my mother, I was an outcast, so I have significant amounts of trauma. Yet I still felt like I had a future. Today's teens don't feel that.

Last night I created a new pinned post that talks about what I do on Twitch! I’ll be giving away a few steam keys to a few people who repost throughout the day!

Snow! It'll be gone in an hour or two, but pretty while it lasts!

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

One of the really difficult things about being an old auDHD git who still loves gaming whilst also loving crochet and gardening is that there's very few people out there that would even consider being friends with me.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Spent a couple of afternoons piddling about with terraforming a cave and breeding donkeys in my 3.5 year old Minecraft survival world. Logged out. Game crashed. Got stuck on loading terrain screen when trying to reload. Guessing I've got a corrupted chunk where I logged out...

I'm just going to say it: If you're enticed by playing this game because it's free now, you've got bigger questions to raise (to yourself) about why you still quietly enjoy Harry Potter whilst its creator does everything in her power to remove rights from trans people with her profits.

YouTube Recap dropped, and im absolutely NOT surprised at this! Thank you, @pixlriffs.bsky.social , for another amazing year of content!

I *may* have listened to Singularity by @avidmc.bsky.social a bit!

Lego diorama. Including sets from the 70s to 2025. Never too old for Lego.

This evening, Grublin 2 and I have made gluten-free cinnamon buns that actually worked and tasted pretty damn good! G2 is turning into a pretty confident baker. First time working with psyllium husk powder. Essential for a proper dough, but oh boy is it absolutely revolting to start with!

Listen, world, I'm now officially retired. Can people just stop asking me to do one more job because "No one else knows the job like you" and "You're get excellent results" and "But we can't find anyone else....". Alternatively, I'd like to learn to say "No."

@archaeoplays.bsky.social Look what arrived today! Can't wait to dive in!

Age yourself with gaming.

if any of yall get a message like this, for the love of all heavens do NOT click on the link in general if you get any messages saying that your account is or will be suspended asking you to change the mail adress or to click on a link to fix it, IT IS A SCAM

This is brilliant.

My grafted acer: 24/11, 30/11 and today!

Fireworks still blasting their way into the sky round here, so I'm sugglung Spangle-Cat downstairs whilst The Hubster is keeping Boots-Cat company upstairs. Honestly, I'm all for banning the sale of fireworks to the public. Its a bloody menace every year. #GrumpyAndTired

Genuinely, stop giving FNAF promo. He still gets paid from it all. It's his IP. Y'all talk about dropping HP but can't drop FNAF?

Found a couple of gorgeous gingerbread house themed cushions in B&M yesterday. Boots has claimed them already. #minenow #ruledbycats

Acers are putting on a show. Until we get a brisk breeze and they drop all of their leaves overnight!

If you're a fan of The Hermitcraft Recap, Lyarrah does the captions! Also a member of Truly Bedrock! If you're in a position to drop a dollar or two as a donor it would help enormously. Or stick some YT content on, catch a stream and help a fabulous, underrated content creator out!

Finding additional work is the easiest way I can avoid being stuck begging again in a future month. If you are a busy video maker who needs some parts of the process taken off your hands and can afford to throw me a few bucks for it, let's talk about how we can make each other's lives easier.

Epic Aerington strikes again! Who you gonna call? Channel 64!

This year's pumpkins - Minecraft style!

I discovered the @channel64smp.com creators earlier this year and they are such a talented, funny and friendly bunch of people. Definitely completely underrated and deserving of much more love than they get.

@paultales.bsky.social made me and The Hubster chuckle over our coffee this morning! youtu.be/cNpWuY2zyYA?...

I'm LIVE in the Fathom's world! New outfit, new update, new opportunities! youtube.com/live/FMOt7Gw...

Younger Grublin has been suffering with a few intrusive thoughts recently. Nothing major, just the result of a bit of increased anxiety and rejection sensitivity (sadly, they get it from me). Always worse at night. Now I'm not a night owl, but...

"The AI Revolution has started" declares a lady on LinkedIn. "Welcome to the AI Age. How does that make you feel?" It makes me feel that people who have invested an awful lot of money in a very dodgy and unethical technology are starting worry that 'Fetch' simply won't happen.

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

Where can I buy a new brain? Or where can I get mine reconditioned? I'd like the rejection sensitivity option moderated please! (Currently avoiding social spaces because I don't fit in and I'm terrified people don't like me. Yes, I know it's bloody ridiculous.)

I can feel my mood finally lifting and the stress of the last few weeks ebbing away. Sunshine in Yorkshire, a warm greenhouse and a cup of coffee make for a contented Lass.

After an extra week than planned of running around like a headless chicken, today is brought to you with a big do not disturb sign and two stream days to switch between (Channel 64 SMP and Hermitcraft).

Channel 64 stream day!

Always a fun time - Channel 64 stream day this Saturday!

Son needs photo ID, preferably a passport. "Do it online!" the civil service exclaim. He needs photo ID to do this. Sigh.

It's time to begin our biggest Fathom's project yet! I'm so excited! youtube.com/live/q61-P1Z...

Vandal destroys valuable artwork www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u... I know the point is the messaging/silencing of dissent - but I hope the Royal Court of Justice don't claim to need any more funding any time soon given that they've just happily washed a couple of million quid down the drain

Idk if anyone is looking to rehome a cat, but Pawpurrs cat sanctuary in Wigan desperately needs to get cats adopted, like urgently. 96 cats all under the care of a single person + volunteers and I'm really worried she's taking on too many to handle.

Absolutely this! I've had a ridiculously busy August doing Stuff For Other People that involved Interaction With Strangers. Which means I don't have the bandwidth to interact with People I Actually Like. Eleven more days of People Stuff, then I'm free to reset The Brain.

Hospital run for a friend again today - so begins the how long waiting for blood tests this time game!!! Fortunately, it's a quick pin prick test and the hospital is local. Two hour wait the first time, five minutes the second time!

Creeping Brain Weasels have been silenced today after several texts from the parents of students I used to tutor before my life went tits up in Nov '23. All passed their GCSEs and off to sixth form or college. I did some Good Things. Take that, Brain Weasels!!

It has arrived.... #TheGreenhouseDiaries #RhinoGreenhouse

One does not fuck with the WI...
