Yes, also I will in deep conversation with someone while walking not pay attention to where we are going just focus on the conversation. I had a college roommate who would zigzag, walk in circles or backtrack just to see what I would do. The conversation was my direction and the other didn’t matter.

…steppingstone path I’d only step on the steppingstones or jump from stone to stone. I’d be greatly agitated and depressed for days if I had to walk on the grass instead because I was being corrected from following my β€œlittle rituals”. I don’t think any autistic kid ever forgets this stuff.

When I was a kid, one thing which would make me melt down was if people tried to correct my weird way of walking. One of my rituals as they called it. I took very seriously step on a crack break your mother’s back and would go out of my way to avoid cracks. Also if there was a…

The thing is I only see those posts on my phone Home Screen notifications and not in my Blue Sky notifications. I usually only block spam accounts, like this particular one who created umpteen accounts all to ask for money. I am poor and get sick of everyone always asking for money.

The Bird Card Game first deck from Iceland with illustrations of various Icelandic birds. The Flora Card Game first deck is right next to it with illustrations of various plant species in Iceland.

This photo is of the rules of both games and also lists the artists, writers, etc who put these awesome decks together. Not only are they incredibly informative, a fun game of go fish, but also works of art.

Each box has a full color species photo: one is the European Herring Gull and the other is Scheuchzer’s Cottongrass. You learn the Icelandic name, Latin name, English common name, about their habitat, and many other interesting facts.

I need a stupid book on insects! I went to Iceland and all I got was 2 stupid games on birds and flora teaching you the common English name, the Icelandic name, the latin name, family name, habitat and more. One is crafted by a natural scientist, who I spoke to before buying them. She’s cool.

What an idiot! Several diseases at least in our country were gone or at the very least a minimal number across the country. So yeah of course we should encourage people to go out there and infect everyone and for people to leave themselves medically defenseless.

Or lose him in one of Spot’s holes and let him glitch for awhile. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but seems in poor form for a performing artist to look down their nose publicly as it may make his fans deny themselves a chance to explore those arts too.

…mother’s little helper, #strychnine.

You’re not a mother!

No, you are. This helps you solve the #mystery of getting my forgiveness after all the years of abuse. I believe during the spasms of your death throes I can let go of that hate and be a happy person again. Happy Mother’s Day!

It can. This is so #sweet! Get ready for the most intense psychedelic high imaginable and then of course death. Can’t have it all, am I right? Hahaha. A new twist on this…

I get silenced notifications, not on this app, but on the list of notifications on my Home Screen. Whenever I’m not on an app that’s what happens even with unblocked notifications.

I didn’t realize blocked people could still post to you, that basically makes it an ignore if they can still access my account. That seems messed up.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of an armadillo facing the viewer and leaning protectively over a pangolin which is curled up on the ground. The armadillo's shell is a series of dots and the pangolin is made up of wavy dashed lines indicating their form rather than being realistic portrayals of the animals.

…that’s scary. Dies Irae.
All right, I suppose Dies Irae might be a bit scary.
Ok then off to get my saw.
I thought you said gore wasn’t scary.
I’m not going to cut things up! The saw sounds creepy af so going to grab my bow too and play it. You just need to lay off the sugar.

#Gore is scary.
Gore isn’t scary. It’s gross.
Blood and guts and detached body parts with loose bits of meat and flappy skin.
Flappy skin? Flappy skin? Like paper blowing in the wind?
What perhaps dangling eyeballs with bloody muscles and optic nerve?
It’s the music… 1/2

…and pickle sandwiches, peanut butter and ham on toast, and still cheese and jelly.

Currently eating turkey and Gouda cheese with yellow mustard on cinnamon swirl bread. Breakfast Rice Krispies with Cinnamon life cereal mixed with dark chocolate almond milk.

When I was a kid I loved eating bowls of ice cubes with salt, also lemon flavored animal crackers with French onion dip, and cheese with grape jelly sandwiches.

An adult I often eat same foods for months or years daily or twice a day. I like, although not currently eating, peanut butter… 1/2

I switched to my hands.
Slowly digging out
the heads of thirty-seven men.
Never found their bodies.

#Dig they said.
What could it hurt?
I didn’t have to do it.
Nothing obligates me to anyone, but curiosity sucked me in.
Not like I will dig up a pyramid from sand.
Sometimes my friends and I get hunches.
This time it was a cornfield in the middle of Nowheresville, Kansas.
