AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and i'm not an authority, but i'm glad i'm not alone in this<3

If Hilda Swenson's going to watch me, then she can darn well watch me build sandcastles, jump back and forth on rocks, ride my bike from one end of the island to the other and back again, paddle over to the sea caves for no reason, annoy fish in the tidepool, honk the boat horn a few dozen times...

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

every AI work tool out there is like "did you know you're wasting up to 90% of your time on pointless busywork that could be automated away? and i look inside and the "busywork" is like. learning how something important works or double checking the reading on the safety valve. AI companies love to say "why would you waste time learning that in the moment when, instead, you could always ask me about it later?" and it's like. the point isn't to "have access to that information", the point is to know it. The AI can only tell me how to fix that air compressor if i can tell it what the problem is, and even then its instructions might not warn me of potential hidden dangers or might not see that i've got my screwdriver on the wrong screw or might not even be telling me the truth. I need to know how the pump works. I need to know which lines lead where. I need to understand the system I am working with. If something goes wrong I need to know how to fix it, because by the time something tells me how to fix it, it might be too late.

Fail Safe (1964) never stops being relevant.

puppygirllaika

Also if you've never seen Fail Safe please go watch it. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, it remains a personal favourite to this day, and especially if you are of the conviction that old movies tend to be stuffy and boring, this is legitimately one of the most tense, gripping, edge-of-your-seat suspense dramas you will ever watch. Even having seen it a dozen times before i find myself white-knuckling the arm of my couch through certain scenes, and on top of that the direction, cinematography, sound design, and action are all amazing. This movie uses close-ups and the power of silence better then any other I've ever seen. I think about this pair of shots all the damn time:

It also just. Has a lot of relevancy still today, and it's one of the things I recall most frequently when thinking about the efficacy of AI in the modern day. It's not about AI, it's about war, and weapons, and posturing of nations, and the way that secrets and hatred and dehumanization of our enemies and the increasing reliance on systems and automation, not just by machines but by humans told to act under orders and stripped of their agency, lead us into a future that no one is prepared for nor capable of preparing for, with the potential for devastating consequences. And it's a movie where you want to watch the credits all the way through to the end to feel the full impact of what you've just seen.

also +1 for having a character using forearm crutches throughout the movie who isn't a villain or treated as lesser, but instead as a highly respected, thoughtful, and considered leader. the crutches are never commented on, just treated as a totally normal part of his character. better disability rep then a lot of shit today tbh.

Anyway, you can find it for free on the internet archive, here:

I don't understand the Nancy Drew game fandom, or I understand it too well. It's half queer neurodivergent progressive people (my people), half conservative Christian former homeschooler. If you talk about anything related to racial issues all the horrible Reddit centrists will come out of the woodwork and shout you down. Nancy Drew was created as a Mary Sue WASP cracker ass cracker and I suppose there's no reason to believe that her target audience has changed in any way.

Nah you right it’s truly wild to see go down

I can’t speak for everyone but hilariously in my case I was raised conservative Christian and homeschooled (Nancy Drew being one of the very few pieces of media I was allowed to consume) and as of growing up I have realized I am a queer neurodivergent progressive fkfkfkdkdk

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.
