🎏| Autistic Gay WizardGood morning to everyone who is #ActuallyAutistic.
How do you relax on a Saturday? 🦆
Micah 
@AmberlynWhite I generally am so exhausted I just want to rest, or sleep, but sometimes my brain isn't tired enough and I want to get up and do a special interest but I often don't have the energy to do it and fall asleep anyway. 😳
@micah I genuinely relate to this SO much. There have been countless nights I have fallen asleep in my chair or on the couch with my special interest or current hyperfocus project on my lap. (*cough* last night *cough*)
Jessica @AmberlynWhite I usually spend mornings in bed, cuddling my cat and catching up on podcasts. I then normally have some sort of sporting event planned to watch, and I like to treat myself to some homemade popcorn 🍿
@Jessica All of this sounds so great, wow! What would you say your favourite Podcast to listen to is and your favourite sport to watch?
@AmberlynWhite At the moment, I love listening to "Football Cliches". It's a comedy podcast where the hosts joke about the funny side to football and how it's talked about by commentators. It's quite niche, and I wasn't too sure about it at first, but quickly grew on me.
I also like "Self-Hosted", it's a podcast about self-hosting, software, and hardware. Not only is it pretty informative, but all the hosts are great to listen to.
"Swindled" is also interesting. It's quite depressing as it talks about the misbehaviours of bad people and businesses, but I've got a morbid curiosity of these things, so I find it fascinating.
Sport wise, I'm a huge football fan, and enjoy MotoGP and the snooker. I love events like the Olympics and Paralympics too when they're on.
Currently, the snooker UK championships are on, so I've been enjoying watching that today 🙂
@Jessica I love that you listen to such a variety of shows! I also appreciate that over the last few years more and more niche Podcasts have been surfacing so that people like you and I can enjoy them. Thank you for sharing what you enjoy with me. I think I’ll give Swindled a check as it sounds like something I’d enjoy.
@AmberlynWhite Yes! I think it's wonderful such an industry has been created where people can share their interests for others to enjoy.
I hope you enjoy Swindled, I just picked an episode title and description I thought sounded interesting, and started from there!
1435@AmberlynWhite I think I'm gonna watch some of Ashley Neil's "Nice driving" episodes, they always make one feel better. Probably also gonna play some #Minecraft. But my stepbrother is coming which means there's gonna be the weekly 1-hour rant about politics ...
@1435 Sounds like an awesome day! I hope that you were able to find some time to play Minecraft. Do you prefer creative or survival?
@AmberlynWhite I mostly play with online friends. Sadly the community I was part of died, so I'm trying to make new friends now (which isn't easy as you will probably understand).
@1435 I do understand that, yes. I personally haven’t had any luck finding an online group of friends to play games with either. However, my younger siblings are avid players and include me often in their online games which I am grateful for.
Hazardius 🡗🡗🡗 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@AmberlynWhite Usual: late night at Friday (to feel like I can do something for myself or smth), staying long in bed, breakfast-dinner with watching new episode of SPYxFamily, and then sitting and doing some other stuff. Today, I hope to read something and not just spiral down with SoMe feeds. 
@hazardius That sounds like a pleasant Friday. Were you able to find some time to read?
@AmberlynWhite Oh. Sorry for being confusing. I stay up late on Friday and then stay long in bed on Saturday morning, so I described my (currently) usual Saturday.
And so long I still haven't opened a book, but I managed to reopen my coding project to mess up a bit with it. So I'm actually enjoying today. 
Aaron@AmberlynWhite The park, or hiking. It's the only way for me to turn off and put down all my (de)vices.
@hosford42 I love that! Walking and getting outside is so good for our physical and mental health.
@AmberlynWhite And the research supports it, not just my anecdotal experience.
@AmberlynWhite What do you like to do on a Saturday to unwind? 💜
@Jessica I personally like to play games on our PS5 and listen to audiobooks/online lectures. Thank you for asking!
Aphrodite (recharging)Most Saturdays I engage in a spin-off project of my podcast AlmostLive. called #BadIdeaSaturday.
I was going to try #6Games1Deck but between technical issues setting up my steam infra and my body engaging in industrial action after volunteering to help two new orgs from the ground floor and help out a third, established org over the last 48h, today I’m just recording a few more eps once my body feels rested enough.
