I've never done this before. A friend told me I've definitely proved my gamer cred π. I just wanted to be able to see my buttons in the dark lol

I think for me I get so overwhelmed processing what people say and do, I prefer 1 on 1 interactions. I'd get people saying "just relax" & then do something to stress me out. Hang in there fellow Autistics π

As an autistic creative still trying to get somewhere in their art career in their 40s who also struggles with mental health and a disappointed family who thinks they are lazy & should do something else... This show hits home. youtu.be/wHuWmjXsReU?...

26.01.2026 09:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Oh man is that because of the freezing temperatures everywhere and the lack of wood fireplaces? Oh gawd. It's the opposite here in Australia. Temp tomorrow is 45C/113F AC use is gonna cause problems

26.01.2026 08:56 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Everything you are feeling is valid. It's like the story of the frog being slowly boiled to death, it acclimatizes to the temp difference until it's too late. I'm a white Australian &yet the thought of travel to the US is terrifying. It's so much harder if U don't look or sound white π

20.01.2026 13:24 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is extremely concerning. I know of 2 other organisations that had their funding cut by Creative Victoria, Writer's Victoria was one and the other was the Abbotsford Convent. Questions need to be asked about why they think cuts are a good idea www.artshub.com.au/news/opinion...
