OH and i have really sensitive visoon which means i am EXCELLENT at spotting wildlife. if there is a bird to be seen or a little movement in a pond, MY EYES ARE THERE. don’t know how much of this is autism/how much is being trained since birth by my dad/how much that’s the same thing

i’m autistic and i’m really good at connecting with people, especially kids! i’m very good at adapting my communication and finding things that work/are enjoyable for everyone.
i also have really good mental imaging so i can see things i’d like to make very clearly like a little 3d modelling engine

now nail FILES on the other hand?

i am on the opposite end of the spectrum and have had one pair of nail clippers since birth that i still use - i also got given a second pair that i sometimes use but i prefer my baby ones!

Hopefully we have done everything right and Stellar Firma Live is now available to purchase Pay What You Want on the Goblins Podcast website: goblinspodcast.com/stellar-firm...

incredibly @goblinspod.bsky.social coded reel i saw this morning www.instagram.com/reel/DT1NJ0p...

the only way i can hype myself up to eat a whole apple is slicing it up and having it with a little chocolate bar as a little ritual. my dad used to do this for me when i was little and it is so delightful. just monching into an apple though? awful. especially since getting lip piercings

thank you! i love an opportunity to colourcode my rights and lefts ☺️

they’re So thick and sturdy feeling i’m hoping they are cherished and hold up for many years

photo of me modelling some handwarmers i have knitted, showing the back of them. they are made with a muted green and a vibrant red, with the green being the accent colour on the left hand and the red being the accent colour on the right hand. they have vertical lines that zig zag a little due to the twisting of the yarns for the stitches.

a photo of the palm side of the mitts

first project of the year finished!! some lovely cosy twined handwarmers to be sent to far and distant england. BABY’s FIRST COLOURWORK!!!! these were a mild ballache but ultimately a good bitta fun. having a row counter REALLY helped

i’ve finally got around to making a shelf section for mine 😬 i’ve got over 15 that i’m hoping to get through this year and i’m hoping having them looming over me together will motivate me lol

it’s in damascus!! ep 121

‘you are more important than a thing’ grizzop but will Always get me, as does zolf and azu’s talk in the inn around 155-156 mark!!

not to be too hashtag Real but merebros streams were an actual lifeline through lockdown and i still get so SO much joy from any streams i catch. from 16 and miserable, to 22 and thriving, there is still nothing that makes me giggle quite like SF bloopers! thank you for 5.5 years of laughter 🌀🩵

a picture showing a tattoo across my shoulders and upper back, there is a downward facing crescent shape at the top of my back that is intersected by one vertical and two diagonal lines. the vertical one ends in a star with a small arc and the diagonal ones travel across my traps to form spirals on my shoulders.

another picture of the tattoo taken at an angle to show how the vertical line sits on the spine.

a close up of the spiral on my left shoulder, there is a break in the line to show where the spiral ben drew ends and the one my tattoo artist drew begins.

a close up of the spiral on my right shoulder, again there is a break in the line to show where the spiral tim drew ends and the one my tattoo artist drew begins.

yesterday, exactly two months after i got @stellartim.bsky.social and @benrlmeredith.bsky.social to draw some spirals for me, i got them tatted!!!! joined with a gorgeous pictish crescent/semi intentional symbol of artemis. thank you both for drawing such lovely spirals - they look fucking awesome

got to do a thanj you wave to some cars for letting me across the road and feel like a Creature of sorts. mission accomplished!

my next pair are gonna be done in twined knitting for a friend who works setting up markets and i imagine his wee hands get cold!!! im loving how much i’m learning about fabric construction from knitting, that pair will hopefully be super hard wearing as well as warm.

a photo showing off a pair of fingerless cable knit gloves. they are made from a gradient yarn that is shades of green, brown, orange and yellow. they are quite long and have a four strand celtic knot design along the top of the hand.

a pair of blue and green tabi mittens, the fingers are split into two groups of two, giving the appearance of three puppet-ish fingers, or maybe a chameleon hand!

recent adventures in knitting gloves. one very tasteful pair for a friend and a pair that transform me into some sort of muppet for me >:)

a huge part of my approach this year has been to try and stop missing out on good things for fear of pain so i’m gonna be coming back to this one a lot i can tell

YouTube video by Next Door Records Next Door Sessions: Madra Salach

jaysus i haven’t been able to stop playing this on repeat. the whole session is great if ye’ve the time but if not i’ve made this start at my favourite song. i think i’ve listened to it about 20 times in the last 24 hours and my god i’m proud of the irish music scene !!!!

an ink ans watercolour illustration of a huge stone humanoid lying on their from and looking blankly in the direction of teo badgers rolling and playing in the snow. only their head and shoulders are in frame, their arms folded under their chin comfortably. behind them is a forest, trees bare in the winter cold. in the centre is a huge tree with a hole under the roots from which the badgers have come. there are some birds in the trees, and some snow has settled on the branches and on the shoulder and back of the large humanoid. their head is roughly shaped, inspired by celtic stone carvings, and they have spiral ‘tattoos’ carved into their arms. moss is growing in patches across them.
