| I have very mixed feelings about that show. The legacy of the Tudor dynasty is not something that I feel benefits from taking historical liberties, and the show takes plenty. There’s already so much intriguing material to work with from true history with that family, that a lot of the changes don’t ... |

| That is nifty! Although I imagine the surprise at the end might undo the benefits of having strong lung capacity. |

| I frequently struggle with overwhelm from being asked questions in casual settings. Oddly enough, I don’t experience this issue in interviews; with formal settings like them, there is usually a clear-cut protocol that I can plan for. However, casual questions pertaining to small talk conversations a... |

| I’ve sometimes found that eating plenty of green, leafy vegetables, drinking lots of water, and taking supplements that help with mood dysregulation and energy levels (ie magnesium or vitamin B12) can help with the psychological symptoms in addition to the physical symptoms. This may not work for ev... |

| I wrote this poem based on a dream I had several months ago. A garibaldi is a bright orange fish, I used to live on Catalina Island and would see them loitering about the piers. They’re quite lovely, although the dream itself was sort of apocalyptic. Anyway, the pre-edited poem: I watched yesterday ... |

| Fascinating and succinct, I like these a lot. Especially the second one. The nifty thing about short poems is that there’s still plenty to ruminate on. |

| I’ve been a lifelong fan of Joni Mitchell and Simon and Garfunkel, and just recently discovered the peaceful debut album of Vashti Bunyan, “Just Another Diamond Day.” I also like some livelier variations of folk, such as S. J. Tucker’s music, which crosses over into world music as well. Recommendati... |

| My therapist gave me this question to ponder, and exploring it has given me improved confidence in my ability to have a healthy and fulfilling sex life. Since healthy sexual practices seem to not be talked about nearly enough in a lot of autistic circles (at least, not in the ones I’ve been in, I ca... |

| I’ve lately become a huge fan of films that utilize modern classical music in their soundtracks. I’ve mostly seen it used in horror/thriller films (such as Shutter Island, one of my favorite uses of contemporary classical). I also love soundtracks that integrate elements of classical music with synt... |

| In terms of online spaces, is an app called Amino that has multiple communities, including for LGBTQ+ folks. One of the communities is for lesbians and other femme-attracted folks (I believe that it’s just called Lesbians Amino). The only downside of Amino is that a large portion of the audience is ... |

| I haven’t received an official diagnosis, but after years of (ironically obsessive) research, I suspect I might have OCD as well. The way you describe your obsessive thoughts is very similar to how I experience my own. It seems that some aspect of autism feed into OCDs mental loops. Living with obse... |
