The associate is busy with someone else and there are 3 other self-checkout stands with flashing lights.

And 10 minutes in and you can't recall what the first 9 minutes were about

Moving from a walker hostile city to a walk friendly city, I forgot they existed and had some close calls. I'm pretty aware of them now.

The true misconception is that there are scientific definitions and culinary definitions. No the culinary definitions don't fit their scientific category. They're not intended to.

Cyber Myconids... Oh boy.

One word is never enough to describe an experience. People can say they're okay when something is wrong or they can over-exaggerate. The last thing we want is more people reading this is thinking their trauma is actually stress and it's in their head. They don't want to be one of the people overreacting. They're "okay". Those people need help and shouldn't second-guess theirself.

If you call in an emergency, they don't make you prove you're not lying or overreacting. The ambulance comes either way. Once they arrive and assess the situation, they react appropriately.

If you feel you need help, use language that you feel fits. Once people understand the situation, they should react appropriately.

I've had friends that were in pain, but said they were okay. Up until things got critical. I don't want people hiding their pain because they don't want to be a burden. If you are in pain and need help, express it.

I demand to be scanned for Parkinson's every doctor visit now.

"Biscuit is going to scan you for Parkinson's now"
"Aww, whose a good boy?"
"You're clear. That'll be $145."

I use saved posts to show post to my wife in-person, because I like seeing her reaction.

Sharing my story as how I became aware as it relates to me.

I suspect I'm autistic, and don't quite understand masculine or feminine gender norms. (I mean, I learned what they are, but they seem nonsensical to me.)

After I learned about the "Gender Apathetic" identify, it seemed to fit my feeling towards my gender, which is to say, I don't care about it. (Although appearing like my birth gender tends to draw less unwanted attention.)

Also, I learned that gender expression and gender identity can be different, which helped solidify my feelings about being non-binary, since I dress mostly like my birth gender, but I do not feel any other significant attachment to it.

I got one of the easy identities and no gender dysphoria or people giving me odd looks. I know a lot of other people have it harder. Knowing about my identity did help me to understand myself.

Nope, we got an imposter in the bottom-left corner. Other than that, pretty good.

We were infiltrated by an imposter!

That's me in the car to a party I don't want to attend.
