Here's an audio file which I made on treating one type of sensory overload, namely hypokalaemic sensory overstimulation, which seems to be the most common kind in autistic people.

If you wanna not get lost, just go directly to this YouTube link and ONLY listen to that. Anything else is bells and whistles and caveats.

Meanwhile, here's a text thread I wrote on treating hypokalaemic sensory overstimulation:

I was invited to Bluesky largely because of the information I have provided on treating #SensoryOverload, a debilitating medical condition that affects a variety of people, the best-known being autistic.

It also shows that his movement is philosophically empty. There's no well-known artist or band that gets repeatedly called upon to embody the spirit of what he stands for.

Trump has no ideology. He's simply a selfish criminal. He doesn't stand for any particular ideals. So stealing art or music for shallow, cynical use reflects who he is.

It has struck me that the Trump rΓ©gime's repeated copyright infringements over many years stems from its foundational beliefs. Hitler was an ideologue. Wagner's music represented something of that ideology to him.

But Trumpβ€”

I see she has subsequently been shifted to another place where she can do damage, and will be replaced by an equally terrible person, but with his own special terribleness.

Oh! Where? Or what are some of the highlights? I'd love to see her get her comeuppance, even if just an hors d'oevre of it for now.

#HatOfTheDay. Sitting spaced out in the middle of a deurmekaar scattering of cushions wearing frumpy un-ironed clothes in weirdly contrasting colours, I feel like this photo captures one of the stereotypical presentations of senior citizens with ADHD. Even vibing some pathos there.

I have no tats and don't intend getting any, but people have once or twice asked whether they may use my drawings as tattoos. (I only said yes once; might design some in the future, but not now.)

This thread on the technical considerations is fascinating.

Now, I often see right-wing guys say that they prefer women with no makeup, but the woman must also be slender and have a healthy glow.

So I wonder, what happens if the pretty tradwife gets chronically ill? Do they prefer her without makeup, or concealing the illness?

I'm OK with it that some men say they prefer women to wear no makeup (unless it's an unsolicited comment).

This photo was taken when they asked Epstein survivors which of them had tried to speak to Pam Bondi, only to be met by her refusal.

Every one of them raised their hand.

That's Pam Bondi in the front, the blonde oneβ€”the woman who wants rapists go unpunished to save a rapist society.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov was beside himself over Starlink. In response, he threatened to nuke all satellites (as well as Ukraine), unless Trump gets on the phone and tells Elon Musk what to do. The weatherman agreed.
