Linkedin
Ever felt like social media is one giant, chaotic dinner party where everyone else seems to know the secret handshake? Welcome to LinkedIn, where autistic professionals navigate a world built for neurotypical networking, armed with logic, efficiency, and, let’s be honest, a bit of existential dread. After diving into the latest research, I wanted to share a few insights for my fellow…

Navigating Social Media as an Autistic Adult: My Decision (And How You Can Decide Too)
I’ve been wrestling with a big question lately: Should I stay on social media, or should I delete my accounts and find a different way to express myself? As an autistic adult, the answer isn’t straightforward. Social media offers potential connection and advocacy, but also carries unique challenges for those of us with neurodivergent minds. To make the best choice for me (and hopefully help…

Navigating Social Media in Politically Volatile Times

Did We Wake Up in Time?
I didn’t wake up all at once. I stirred. I grumbled. I hit snooze a few times. And like always, by the time I finally opened my eyes, the fire had already started. I cant express what I need to say. I research. I pour every bit of data and every knot of dread in my stomach into an AI tool. What it spat back wasn’t just accurate, it was alive. A scream I’d muted. A truth I’d numbed. This letter…

What would Jinjer do?
A dimly lit backstage lounge, maybe an industrial-looking interview room, the kind with flickering neon signs and a lingering haze of cigarette smoke. Around a battered table, four distinct forces in the rock and metal scene, Eugene X, Raze Havok, Raven Steele, and Roxy Riot, sit like a rogue council of sound and fury. Each band radiates their own brand of attitude, from leather-clad anarchy to…

That Awkward Moment When the Nation Messes Up and Stays Silent
America’s greatest threat isn’t foreign enemies, natural disasters, or even AI taking our jobs … it’s that awkward moment when the nation messes up and stays silent. When we fail to own our mistakes, dangerous ideologies slip in unchecked, eroding the democratic values we hold dear. Many people worry about nuclear war or climate change, but surveys show that 81% of Americans are more concerned…

Dear AI
ChatGPT: Good morning William, how are you today?Bill: Not good I want to make a joke and share with my collogues to make them laugh. What do you think about, “Hey, I just sent my social security number to DeepSeek. At this point, I figure why not? Maybe they’ll offer me citizenship. Sure, I’d be poor, but at least they’re upfront about their system.” ChatGPT: You’ve actually hit on something…

Fat Bikes, Frozen Toes, and Questionable Life Choices
Camping on the weekend feels like a distant memory, almost as if I’ve entered a new chapter called “old age” in a world that sometimes forgets about us. But when the weekend calls, you simply have to answer. Yesterday, I took our new truck out to Marshall Mounton for a fat biking adventure. We expected a groomed trail, but the ride turned out to be rough. It wasn’t perfect, yet the workout was…

Balcony Blues at 830 Cleveland
At 830 Cleveland, Apartment 2,A tale of chaos comes into view.The awning leans, a wooden crutch,A fragile fix, but not by much. The siding’s ripped, the beams laid bare,A storm? A fire? Who knows what’s there.A mountain bike waits in the cold,Its owner’s story yet untold. Did they race the wind, a trail to chase,Before disaster struck this place?Now paused mid-ride, they mend and mend,Hoping…

Glacier Park Memories
https://photos.app.goo.gl/JPk9aBaTjdFp23GN7 The sun slouched behind the jagged peaks cradling Saint Mary Lake, smearing the sky with molten orange and lazy lavender. A soft breeze skimmed the water, sending ripples toward the shore as we rode in our tourist boat, the hush of waves against the hull the only sound. She rested her head on my shoulder, our fingers woven together like ivy on an old…

The Tower of Unspoken Horizons
A lone gunslinger trudged across a wasteland where reality frayed at the edges. The Tower loomed on the horizon, an impossible spire whose apex shimmered in endless twilight. Whenever he gazed upon it, his mind twisted with the knowledge that what he sought was beyond mortal grasp. Yet he pressed on. Each step crunched over bones of old illusions, each shell in his revolver a reminder of the…

My Brain's Trying to Adult
So, life, right? It’s like… a Roomba that’s been given a map of the entire universe and told to clean it all by Tuesday. Utter chaos. For me, that chaos was reaching critical mass. I was basically a human tumbleweed of anxiety and misplaced keys. Something had to change. ChatGPT suggested “organization.” It used a lot of words like “structure” and “coping mechanisms.” I mostly read “more things…

Identity Crisis? Nah, Just a Name Change
My website has always been a reflection of the many phases of my life. It started as “Bill’s Web Lodge,” a space meant to bring people together, but like me, it has evolved. Over the years, it has changed names, focuses, and purposes, following the twists and turns of my journey. When I came out as autistic, that honesty caused some distance with others, but it also gave me clarity. This site…

Code of Defiance
Bill Martin was one of those rare dreamers who dared to challenge the dystopia he was born into, a visionary in a world where aspirations were rationed and reality was monopolized. By 2095, the United Corporations of OmniCorp weren’t just pulling strings; they were the puppeteer, having fused government and corporate interests into a single iron-fisted entity. Their playbook was simple: keep the…
