Introduction

Hi everyone. People on #Mastodon tend to write an introduction and pin it to their profile so people can see a bit about them, so I thought I'd do the same here.

I'm late-diagnosed autist with co-occuring ADHD (PI) . Multi-instrumentalist self-taught musician (Melodeon, bass, guitar, synths, drum programming, live & studio engineer) living in London with tutherarf and two house buns. Recent fugitive from Facebook (I left 6 years ago, rejoined last week and was promptly kicked off for being silly in the video capture thing they ask you to do). Rekindling my love of Warhammer (via Necromunda) and ttrpgs.

I take pictures of things. I put googly eyes on pictures of Donald Trump, and I'm mostly benevolently shambolic.

*Rolls eyes*

The inescapable parade of clichés and hyperbole begins tonight.

It's clear who the winners are already: Gianni Infantino, Donald Trump, and their collection of corrupt officials, sycophants and hangers-on.

"X years of hurt", "could go all the way", "going to bring it home", "game of two halves", "they think it's all over" etc., etc., etc..

Yay! I've just had confirmation that I can start titration! This is both scary and awesome!

I'm coming to the conclusion that, when it comes to the men's team at least, England is no longer a cricketing nation.

Sssshhhhhhhh! The Cricket's on!

Look how cute these tiny dice are!

A couple of photos of another House Escher little sister. I have four of them in my starting gang. This one is called "Silverfish". I've not done anything with the bases yet, just painted them black and varnished them. Speaking of which.... The legs on this model are coated in gloss varnish which gives a nice texture/finish to the material, the yellow knee pads are gloss while the black base of the knee armour is matt to give contrast. I don't know how well that comes over in the pictures, but it's pleasing IRL.

Three of my Escher little sisters. I didn't do this on purpose, but they do look like a very dangerous girl band!

I'm still new to painting miniatures, so still improving my painting skills...

Dear Mr Blair,

Be a good chap and fuck the fuckity off. No, I don't want to hear another fucking word from you. Now fuck off, and don't fucking come back. I thought we were clear when we asked you to fuck off before. Then you fuck came back sticking your fucking awful opinions in our faces. What the fuck? Donald Fucking Trump? You fucking think we should fucking be closer to Fucking Donald Fucking Trump? Oh do fuck off. Oh, and fucking come back but just stand there fucking saying nothing so I can tell you to fuck off again.

Yours kindly,

Fucking Everyone.

Whenever we have extreme weather and the meteorologists start quoting both Celsius and Fahrenheit, I always think of this:

It's World Goth Day today, I will be listening to some FoTN at some point, I'm sure. Last time I made a playlist of all my gothish tunes in iTunes, it came out at about 3 1/2 days long....

Jury tosses Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman

Jurors spent nearly a month hearing and viewing evidence in the high-profile trial, where Musk had accused Altman of "stealing a charity".

Hmm, audience reaction cut there. #Eurovision

So, there's this thing where people are labeling Autism Spectrum and ADHD co-occurrences as AuDHD, and I don't get it. Wouldn't that be Autism Deficit & Hyperactivity Disorder? I mean, that's not right, that doesn't describe me.

I've recently been late-diagnosed (hehe, recently-late...) with ASC and the assessors spotted signs of ADHD, which led to an assessment and a subsequent diagnosis of ADHD (PI).

I'm not so keen on describing these as disorders, I much prefer the description of conditions. AuDHD doesn't fit a description of who I am or what I'm dealing with. If anything, it would be predominantly Autism Spectrum Condition & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (PI) Condition.

I did a level of mathematics in my A-Levels and one of my degrees, that should look like (AS+ADH(PI))C. It would make thing easier if I reduced the ADHD (PI) to its earlier iteration, ADD. Substituting the second "D" in that, taking it from a Disorder toa Condition, that would read as ADC. Following this route, I'm thinking of (AS+AD)C. Maybe just AS&ADC would be easier.

I'm not entirely happy smushing two conditions together, just because it makes a convenient acronym. They're separate aspects that interact. I like clarity, and AuDHD doesn't provide clarity, it leads to ambiguity.

Sooooo........ ...Jesus looks like an Ai generated Barry Manilow.
