Weekend links (Tumblr crosspost)

After a bit of struggle wherein hitting enter randomly posted a blank outline!


My posts

I am mostly resting through the post-Halloween crash. I'm not sure whether Thanksgiving week will be extremely hectic here, or will actually provide time to work. It could go either way. I did manage to shake off the sore throat that was turning into an earache, though. In the meantime, I'm now crossposting Weekend Links over at Dreamwidth [you know, here], and I'll be mirroring anything big there as well. (I've also done a very concise post [not sarcasm] they’re summarizing my adventures this past year.)

Patreon is still the "see it early" hub for all this, but I'm glad to be catching up with people on all the places I used to post, even if I have to drag myself back to Twitter periodically to throw a "SEE I WROTE" cherry bomb and run.

I want those of you outside the US to understand that everything in this post about canned cranberry sauce ("Can-Berry") is true, and if I can remember, I'll take a picture of ours on Thursday.

A Happy Big Sandwich Night next weekend to all who celebrate

Biomarker for chronic fatigue syndrome identified

The sheer stress of autism, a post that really struck me because just a few days prior, my mom had said offhandedly to me that my life is "so stressful," and I was like, what? I'm not the one with the nutty office job full of ridiculous people? "No, but you are stressed, all the time." This was said in a very supportive way, mind you. And I found it interesting that she perceived and accepted this while I had been spending a lot of my time (for years) telling myself that I didn't "deserve" to feel so stressed about "nothing."
