Karen Cuthbert

A few weeks of despair and malaise after the court ruling but I was given succour tonight at queer karaoke. We were probably at least ten years older than most folks there but the kids are fucking alright ❤️

I saw him periodically leaning his hand over the edge of the bed with sweetie wrappers

IT HAD CHIPS ON IT

Don’t fuck around with an autist’s special interest

One of my absolute favourite wrestlers announced he was leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling and it’s giving me conniptions:

We found our local - @karencuthbert.bsky.social

I think y’all should be aware that I’m asleep when I say these things. He’s not giving you any context for them

There’s a student encampment at my university protesting our complicity in Gaza genocide through arms investment & they have teach-outs scheduled. One is about the “history of radical Glasgow” &is about the occupation I was involved in as a student in 2011. I feel old. But long live the intifada 🍉

He’s the best wife guy though

This man just follows me around waiting for me to say stupid shit

This lil guy comes with me to my lectures, hidden in my tote bag. #doingacademiawhilstautistic

Actual dispatches from a conversation between my fellow autist and I

If you want stupid content of me sleep talking and Doing Antics go follow @geoffevans42.bsky.social I guess?

It’s a colouring book cover with the words in gold “Throne of Glass colouring book” and with words in black that say “Sarah J. Maas”. Most of the page is white un-coloured scene of a busy city street but there is a woman coloured in the foreground with golden hair, a red cape, a black bodysuit and she is wielding a small sword.

It’s Sarah J Maas’ world, I just live in it. Wore some mustard yellow tights this week & strode around feeling like the badass Baba Yellowlegs. AND THEN bestie soon-to-be husband @geoffevans42.bsky.social surprised me with this gift. Whaaaaa. I have to get good acrylic pens from the TikTok shop now

There is a pinky-purpley cloudy background. In the foreground there are menacing large black waves with a tiny sailing ship being tossed around in the waves.

This is 6/8 of ToG. This took me a while because I’ve been so busy and subsequently so tired. Maybe because of these circumstances I didn’t enjoy this as much - a lot more stop/starty. Maas sure does like a deus ex machina. But that’s not to say it’s a bad book in any way. I adore Lysandra. 💙📚

No-one wants my info-dumping about Critical Role or my long monologues where I just keep talking because I don’t know when to stop

Accidentally unmasked a little bit today and now I’m full of the Bad Feelings worrying about how it was received. Starkly, sometimes unmasking does not increase one’s wellbeing. #actuallyautistic

"Singer, who has been accused of making transphobic statements on social media, allegations she denies."

Certainly can't deny it now, if she even could reasonably do so before.

Judy Singer is an unrepentant TERF & deserves all natural consequences that go along with those views & that behavior.

Saving this for my level 1 gender lectures coming up in a few weeks…

[me to service] can I speak to someone about X
[service] sure
[me] can they text or email me or I’ll even come in & speak to someone in person. I’m
autistic and don’t do phonecalls very well.
[service] so someone will give you a phonecall about X

Health services- use more contact options than ☎️

First time I’ve ever came out of an appointment with a psychiatrist feeling better about myself. (I’ve been seeing psychiatrists since I was 11). No gaslighting, and giving me autonomy over this drug we’re trying. Insisting that I recognise that what I’m doing right now is so damn much.

I can’t wait to delve into this

Yeah, you’ve got to commit to it! But definitely worth it!

I did a Brave and took my coat to an alterations shop today. I’m glad @geoffevans42.bsky.social helped me to do this because I was all set to buy a new coat even though the one with a broken zip makes me feel like a Raven Queen

Back to scheduled Maas reading. This was 5/8 in Throne of Glass series and boy are we still going strong. I’ve been flying through 500-page books with the sense of flow that you can lie back and bathe in. I love that Maas can still make me believe that everything is completely fucked (and then..) 💙📚

This is what “high functioning” autism looks like 😒

My zip broke again on my coat this morning which is on my to-do list of things to be fixed but which I have no mental capacity for at the moment. So I guess I’m just stuck in this coat for the forseeable? #whatisexecutivefunctioning

If I don’t open scary email then scary email doesn’t exist
