And I matter so little that my name isn’t even spelled properly when people quote me.

I think there’s a fair amount of survivorship bias that goes into those observations. I know so many autistic writers who are crumbling under the weight of the many things still working against them, myself included. I was able to write two articles for Time last month, but I am really struggling.

Does anyone else spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what Sabrina Carpenter and Lee Hazlewood could have done together?

YouTube video by Mary Margaret O'Hara - Topic To Cry About

I've seen a few "have you heard her sister's music" posts around social media today and while I don't want to make the loss or celebrate of Catherine O'Hara about anyone other than the incredible Catherine, I do love when Mary Margaret gets her flowers.

What I'd really like for my birthday is breakfast at the original diner version of the Homeway, buffet lunch at Banjara, a matinee at Canada Square, record shopping at Vortex, book shopping at Contact, dinner at the Mandarin, and drinks at Korean Cowboy and the Unicorn.

a buffet table full of trays packed with delicious Indian food against a beige wall. A logo pasted on top says "Banjara Indian Cuisine"

To salt the wound, the email still contains a photo of the late, great $10 lunch buffet.

We used to be a proper neighbourhood.

You know you're already welcome to do that at any time, right?

It's been ages since Banjara closed its Eglinton location and yet I still receive a birthday email from them every year, inviting me to celebrate at their Bloor or Eglinton locations.

Thanks, Banjara. I'll have a less happy birthday now that I'm remembering what we've lost. Again.

Deeply insecure weirdo wrestler? You are speaking my language.

Time to go look that match up.

Oh we've got even more Dick Tracy watches now!

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

And this show couldn’t have happened unless years of arts funding had helped a lot of the artists stay afloat long enough to make it and be the artists who could make it!

Come on, Gregg. You must have seen what we saw!

We are so close now!!

Bets on RFK thinking this was her fault, too.

I love Celine and Julie Go Boating so much!

「格闘技は花火、プロレスは曲」佐々木憂流迦、36歳でアメリカへ渡る真意 | Rolling Stone Japan(ローリングストーン ジャパン） 格闘技は「花火」で、プロレスは「曲」だと、佐々木憂流迦は言った。瞬間火力で観客を熱狂させるMMAの世界から、余韻が残る音楽のようなプロレスの世界へ。世界最高峰のMMA団体であるUFCでランカーになり、その後、RIZINのリングでも活躍した彼

Absolutely no idea what someone with such cool ideas about the intersection of MMA and wrestling is going to get out of American wrestling.

The anti-trans and anti-autistic reporting Venn diagram is awfully close to being a circle.

I’d have a touch more respect (or at least tolerance) for it if it came with some more arts funding, no matter how cynically timed and announced.

人気フェス出演のボーカルがなぜプロレスへ　東京女子の神嵜志音が明かす「バンド解散」と「恐怖心」の正体 東京女子プロレスの恒例興行ともいえる、毎年の1.4後楽園ホール大会。この大会では、過去の多くの新人のデビュー戦が行われてきたが、今年のイッテンヨンでも注目の新人がデビューした。その名も、神嵜志音（かんざき・しおん）。黒一色という東女では珍しいコスチュームカラーでデビュー戦に臨んだ彼女への初インタビュー、前編はプロレスラーになるまでの神嵜に迫った。

Oh, of course I'd immediately gravitate to the anxious retired musician who started watching DDT in elementary school

Text reads: For years, the committee was "led by people on the more high-functioning side of the spectrum," said Jacqueline Kancir, executive director of the National Council on Severe Autism and the parent of a profoundly autistic 22-year-old daughter. "There are a lot of parents out there that are jumping for joy, feeling like they've finally been heard," Ms. Kancir said. "However, it also could be retribution. Time really will tell." Georgia Gee, Apoorva Mandavilli and Christina Jewett contributed reporting. Azeen Ghorayshi is a Times science reporter.

The kicker on the NYT coverage of the new IACC is embarrassingly bad.

“The chelation vaccine hyperbaric oxygen gluten people represent us more than ASAN or Autism Society” is just brain worms. How is that the last word on a panel filled with kooks and quacks?

That's inspiring.

A black cat sits on the edge of a fuzzy off white blanket and watches the construction of a blanket fort with an intense focus

The heat’s out again, so the cat is waiting patiently for us to build her traditional thermodynamic blanket fort.

And that's before we get to how much we did to Sarah McLachlan with bonus dance monks!

Into every generation a little man must rain.

Another pattern that I’ve noticed while observing other people—like white rock critics assessing hip-hop, men explaining women to themselves, or Torontonians who once visited Thailand debating the ketchup content of Pad Thai—is that people who aren’t marginalized in some way love appointing themselves the authenticity police of those who are, often with a passion and confidence that’s inversely proportionate to their actual knowledge.

Real Autism for Hazlitt, April 2018

"Body showered, tibia wound concealed, naturally greasy face tempered, tits covered in the agreed upon logo, and still quite incredible abs begrudgingly hidden under the attached shirt, it was time to go to the Taekwondo gym."

"If science fiction truly is about all that humanity is and and all that we are capable of becoming, then you have to leave a little room for perverts and trash connoisseurs."

The Best Sci-Fi TV Shows of All Time for TIME, March 2024

"The stone cold stare he affects in so many shots start to look more wounded than menacing, almost as if there’s a sadness hidden in that pretty face, a sadness all his own from which no James May-approved luxury vehicle can keep Conor safe."
