I went to DINFOS, too. About ten years before you did, when it was at Ft. Ben. And you have not embraced a single lesson learned there. It's a shame, really. You've abdicated your oath to the Constitution in order to serve Donald Trump, a man you once (properly) despised. How sad.

Pause The Pain (The Goth Remix)
YouTube video by Pulse Empire - Topic Pause The Pain (The Goth Remix)

This is a remix of my song "Pause The Pain" that I released in February. This is a #darkwave version (or goth) and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. #synthpop #darkwave #goth youtu.be/uCJvoqvNxnw?...

I picked up a classic synth today, a Yamaha DX 27 keyboard. Right now I'm waiting on a USB MIDI connector so I can hook it up to my laptop.

2/2 What does she do? She just repeats the question again! Of course I'm starting to get frustrated, which can lead to a meltdown and I don't want to do THAT at an airport, surrounded by people.

I had a similar experience on Frontier Airlines flying back from Cleveland earlier this month. It appeared that I was going to miss a connecting flight, so I asked a gate agent about it and she asked me a question I didn't understand. I told her that I was autistic and didn't understand her. 1/2

At that point with the rude Walmart guy (he actually told me "we all have our jobs to do") when I was trying to get him to direct me to the damn hoodies, instead of just pointing vaguely in some direction, I had a Karen moment and demanded a supervisor. One came and she was wonderful.

He'll probably get it, too. You kiss the ring and you reap the rewards.

Had a terrible experience recently at Walmart. Was trying to buy a simple hoodie and the person in the dept just pointed vaguely somewhere and I told them I was autistic and didn't understand what they meant. Another person came to "help" who was incredibly rude and condescending.

I'm at #cinemawasteland in Strongville, Ohio. This morning I met and had breakfast with Michael Berryman of "The Hills Have Eyes" fame. That was an odd experience. Also spoke with Cynthia Weintraub just now of "The Prowler" and "Humanoids of The Deep" fame who was absolutely delightful.

Just driving around this area again -- it's just surreal. And all of the memories of my previous life hear came flooding back. All of the laughter and good times we had. Our friends. I didn't expect to hit as hard as it did.

It's #worldautismawarenessday and I was first diagnosed in 2016. I would have been around 44. I had displayed symptoms my whole life really but no one recognized them until my last marriage. Which, ironically, was one of the reasons why that marriage ended. Life can be strange.

Moved into the home I'm sharing. One of my new roommates decided to take over my bed. The weird thing is, this place is super close to where I used to live in SE PDX, before moving to Montana. I never thought I'd return here, alone. Back to where I shared a life with someone & we were happy.

How hard is it to give away a ticket to Kraftwerk in Portland at Keller Auditorium on April 6? I have one to give away for free but no one wants it. No strings attached! I'm serious. I will be in Cleveland for Cinema Wasteland and can't go. Message me if you want it. #kraftwerk

It's disgusting. It's like he thinks all of the lessons he learned during his enlistment no longer apply now that he's the VP. I went to the same school this guy did, DINFOS. Some of my classmates are proud he's an alumni. I sure as hell am not.

Back to real life. I will be moving into my new place on the 1st. $900 a month to rent a room. Pretty expensive, but that's typical for this area. If I wanted a studio apt. it would be about $1300 a month at least.

I've been channeling the emotion into songs, which helps a little, but it's no replacement for the warm embrace of someone telling you everything's going to be okay, you know?

Being autistic, I'm having a hard time dealing with the sorrow and grief that comes from getting divorced. It's no joke. Sometimes I'm okay, and other times it just floods in. It's like being caught in an undertow when you're swimming in an ocean.

@kellycarlin.bsky.social I am living your dad's "a place for my stuff" routine. I've got stuff in a hotel in Oregon, a smaller version of my stuff now in a hotel in London, and am about to take an even smaller version of THAT to Paris.

Leaving for London tomorrow! It's been a dream destination of mine my whole life. I don't really have any concrete plans other than to explore the city. My hotel isn't in the best location, but it is close to a train.

Hey! It's a new song by my band, Pulse Empire. It'll be out in a few days on all of the major streaming platforms. I wrote it in support of the #trans community who especially need to be seen right now. youtu.be/11Kah1SGKYU?... #synthpop

I applied for one of Musk's AI tutor jobs. I figured I might as well try to make some money part-time from the richest man in the world. Of course when they track this account down there's no way they'd hire me.

Maybe by the time he arrives it'll be a bag of crisps with some old Duke or something.

I have, I'm not kidding, 152,286 points and I have no idea as to what I'm supposed to do with all of them. I'd give them all to you if there were some way to do that. I think I have about 500 trading cards but they're all in the .05 to .07 range but good luck with yours!

I wish I could do the same with my Steam points, I have hundreds of thousands of them. I also have a lot of Steam trading cards but it's so tedious to put them up for sale.

First Black woman to be Cadet Sergeant Major, that's a pretty big honor. I looked her up, she served honorably to a country that now wants to forget she ever did. As a veteran, it's pretty much like being stabbed in the back now for all the years I put my life on the line to a bunch of racists.
