Just your average mysterious spinster. Possibly a bit magic, definitely a lot autistic. Your pets have already told me all your secrets.

@NurseChristell1 I once suggested someone chase up an X-ray by calling the Imogen department 🙈

Fuck me, @natasha_pulley seriously understood the speculative fiction assignment #TheMarsHouse

@mitdasein I need to get on Bluesky, I check in on here about once a month now and you’re literally the only person I miss.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AlsJane_Therapy That’s one way to say it. Another, more helpful way to say the same thing is “you will always be recovering”.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@Autistic_Lia Well, yes. It’s hard to tell when they’re all over you one second and ghosting you the next with no explanation.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@iconawrites I’ve wanted to see the Mari Lwyd since I was a child… still on the bucket list!

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@natasha_pulley Ugh, I wish I could read this again for the first time. I’m making a conscious decision not to be envious of you!

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AnnMemmott The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

How does anyone struggle with this? The massive adult quadruped lying on my rug chewing on a cast-off deer antler is very clearly not a substitute for a human child. If I’d wanted a child substitute, this is really not the way I’d have gone.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AnnMemmott Very important point. It’s estimated that around 80% of “behavioural problems” in dogs, particularly aggressive/defensive behaviours, stem from untreated chronic pain. Repeatedly being used as an anchor for a panicking human is going to produce repetitive strain. Do the maths.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AnnMemmott It’s bound to be highly stressful for both the child and the dog; at the very least it would ruin their relationship, and at worst one or both of them could be horribly injured. Terrible, terrible idea.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AnnMemmott Sounds like a really good way to get the child bitten.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@RuthElleson To lose three looks like an ongoing pandemic.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@joss_prior So people who are bigotry-obsessed enough to get hold of a copy of an internal staff publication from somewhere they don’t work for the sole purpose of being offended by it… might be offended. Good to know 🤷‍♀️

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@laurenancona Thank you my dear! Still alive and kicking!

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@AceGentle Same as I do about any holiday I don’t observe and that isn’t for me. I wish observant friends a happy or meaningful day and that’s it.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@joss_prior I’m trying to imagine reacting to “a teenager was repeatedly stabbed” with “but what do their genitals look like?” and I’m coming up empty, because what sort of human being… yeah.

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@JosiahHawthorne I’ve cleaned the wheels of a friend’s chair after they went through dog poop and let me tell you that definitely makes the list 🤢🤣

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

@laurenancona Who says they’re all into girls anyway!?

[Esme Weatherwax II @AutisticSpinstr]

Anyone else totally perplexed by One Day? Seven episodes in and I see no sign that these two people like each other at all. They just meet up once a year to growl at each other.
