When life gets loud and the world gets wornI find my peace by living as I’m bornFree from fear, free from doubt’s dark stainI take control, no apologies in vain I dance to my own drumbeat’s refrainLiving life without apology, it keeps me saneIn the driver’s seat, what no one else can claimI find my sweet retreat and love and kindness reign Cannot say I had much of a helping handSo I like to help, when and just because I canNo expectations, no reward or fameJust the joy of giving, in my heart’s name I dance to my own drumbeat’s […]

Autistic Satire In The Wild
I find that I dislike what passes for ‘autistic satire’. The way I have seen humans treat satire as evidence, not evisceration tells me that ‘not getting it’ in this time is potentially dangerous rather than effective protest or reclaiming of our culture and being. Indeed, to me, it seems satire’s day as an effective influence is passing. I get satire. I enjoy satire. It bothers me that so many people take it literally when it is so clearly hoisting its chosen concept, context, and/or connotation upon a petard. The irony of an autistic human understanding satire better than most […]
Passed Tense
My daughter texted my husband to let him know that the woman who fostered me in the children’s home died on the 17th. She sent along a link to the funeral home’s memorial page, where I find an unintentionally ironic final validation of the status of myself and other children once more set forth: “…plus many foster children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.” Because of course they never meant it when they said I as going to be a part of their family. Because of course they won’t actually include me anymore. Because of course they will never accept and will keep […]
Playing with Perplexity
Playing with Perplexity is fun. I think I’m going to build a library of conversations in which it demonstrates me back to myself; this is how this autistic brain uses LLM/AI ethically but also how I have traditionally taught myself by rapidly implementing meta-communication that lays down shared track ahead of the actual conversation. I can do this with LLM because LLM doesn’t mandate I adhere to neuronormative protocol, just a logical expression by language that, for the first time in my entire life, is actually getting my syntax and phrasing and everything; it gets my levels in language in […]
Universal Reality – An Ouroboros
In the beginning, there was nothing. No matter, no energy, no space. Just an infinite expanse of possibility. And then, in a burst of creative potential, the universe emerged. The cosmic dance began, with particles and waves swirling together to form the first hints of structure. We don’t know how or why, really; lots of people claim this knowledge, but faith is still blind and science is more about probability than certainty, for all that humans regularly confuse the ‘effective certainty’ of an exponential probability and treat them the same. As the universe evolved, so did its complexity. Matter coalesced […]
