a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

I spoke in front of 100 people and didn't have a panic attack!

I spoke in front of 100 people and didn't have a panic attack!

This may not seem like a big deal to most of you. But, to me, it's huge. My entire life, I've been crippled by panic attacks in social situations. Over 50 years of being afraid to go to weddings or funerals or comic conventions.

But, 3 years ago, I was diagnosed as Autistic.

For 3 years, I've been learning about my disability and going through therapy, and taking steps to advocate for myself.

My panic attacks, it seems, we're triggered by overstimulation. My brain couldn't process all of the noises and smells and feelings and sights. It was too overwhelming, and my body/mind would shut down.

You can see I'm wearing noise canceling headphones. I bring them with me everywhere. It seems silly that this is all it took to stop the panic attacks. But... it works.

I got up and introduced myself, showed a couple videos, and read a whole chapter of my upcoming book (Becoming an Artist... coming out in November) with NO PANIC ATTACK!

I just thought I'd throw this little victory out into the world because we could all use a little victory from time to time.

Sending big hugs from the Hobbit Hole ❤️

there's nothing i like more as a computer program than a long period of silent contemplation - not doing anything, not rushing anywhere, just standing here and enjoying this moment with the user. oh, it seems once again he has summoned my beautiful and ruthless wife Task Manager. hello, my darling! what are you doing with that long cruel scimitar

artist in denial of being depressed: omg this 2 month long art block has been crazy... sorry i haven't updated any of my fics in a long while! it's just been super difficult to daydream! so weird that i've lost a little bit of passion for my current comfort character and ocs... this couldn't possibly have any implications or alternative explanations

You know what, I’m gonna say it, I’m tired of the ick trend thing. I’m tired of us going “it’s a turn off to imagine a man doing this completely normal thing”
