In my 40s. Recent uni graduate (July 2024). Studying for a Masters now. England, UK.

My posts mention my studies, memes, and my journey of figuring out how to live life fully as a “later” identified neurodivergent person (#ActuallyAutistic + #ADHD) & balancing this with chronic illness (#MECFS 15+ years).

Interdisciplinary brain: I work best when combining two different specialist skillsets.

Apparently May is ME/CFS Awareness Month!

Maybe I should do some "awareness" posts. For example, today I sat on my porch and read some poetry. I'm now pretty wiped from the mental exertion of that light reading, the physical exertion of sitting upright with my feet on the ground, and the sensory exertion of listening to cars, lawn mowers, and barking dogs.

It was worth it, but I'll have to be careful not to overdo things the rest of the week since I have 3 medical appointments.

Today’s 3 Good Things:

- Had capacity to do quite a lot of house chores that have been waiting a long time. And even did a bit of meal prep and cooking for my dinner tonight, which is not usually a possibility.

- It has been a quiet, uneventful weekend.

- Greenery is thriving here. I’m overrun with happy baby plants indoors and also watching the first blooms of various plants outside as well.

End of 10

Hello AI my new friend
Tell me when the world will end
Show me everything I want to hear
My weak brain you must steer
Some say all you do is hallucinate
But I think you're an awesome date
Tell me things in a sultry voice
Mating with computers is a choice
No more need for my tin foil hat
Just bring up the computer for a chat
Don't even need that LSD
Just chat with you, for a fee
Forget humans or Instagram
When your LLM is your biggest fan

My son comes downstairs with all his medieval garb on and asks if I can take a photo of him with a bow/arrow, for a physics assignment: take a photo of something with kinetic and potential energy, extra points for an action shot. 10 mins later we're high-fiving our nerd success.

Now seems like a good time to share my all time favourite technical term:

“Elegant degradation”

I learned this in the context of front end web development. Yet, oh boy, the potential for broader life contexts!

New life goal: degrade elegantly.
(Versus the hot mess method).

we went to the little river today.

we saw flowers and trees, bees and butterflies. a deer disappearing into the wood and sideways shrimps in the water. i brought the hawthorn tree an oatmeal cookie and marvelled at how much blossom it has, how much it’s grown. we got briefly rained on by the sunny grey sky and felt the sands of the riverbank shift beneath our feet. 


i stood for a while on a little sandbank, a temporary island that may be gone tomorrow. i felt the water and the world swirl around me, separate as i was, wishing i could stay in that protected place forever. i watched my footprints fill with water when i stepped back onto the bank, and i watched the earth breathe as those footprints emptied and filled, emptied and filled, in an unbroken rhythm that had nothing to do with the ripples on the water or the flow of the river.

if you light a fire today, light it to honour what has been and what remains. light it to protect and purify what is. and light it to kindle the strength you need to fight what comes.



wishing you peace and rest, love and many blessings, today and always.



a beautiful beltane to you all. 


#beltane #mayday

@moonrabbit Thank you for this perfect snapshot of your day. ❤️ I strongly feel that this is how life is meant to be.

@druid  
if only the rest of it were the same. but at least we had that little island of time.

wishing you both a beautiful and blessed day. and life 🌱🌸

@moonrabbit may the heating air be kind to you, and may the bonfire flames bring you protection. A beautiful Bealtaine to you :)

@CaismirneachRaigi go raibh maith agat 🔥🌱 and to you.

and abundant birthday goodness, for i see that yours has been! i hope it was a lovely day. 

@moonrabbit

I raise a glass,
Cry in the cold of dawn
Refections of our lost and dear
Live beyond us

I plant my feet in earth and sun
Life shining everywhere
A blessing and a shield

Sparks fly in the night
Jump free from the blaze
Dream fed, tended by loss
Our strength is grief that has been fired.

(with the love in my heart that so many of us feel for the earth and her breathing)

@moonrabbit Beltane blessings, my friend. 💚
@FeralStrumpet 🌱🔥 thank you, friend, and to you
