trans liberation or perish. she/her, 16. fan of trains, spreadsheets, and good music.

thinking about neurodivergency today. i'm not diagnosed with autism, nor do i really self-ID as neurodivergent, but i don't really see myself as wholly neurotypical

part of it is that i do have a tendency to fixate on kinda odd stuff and that i have odd interests (i've jokingly described myself as 'not autistic but really into trains' more than once), but also i really relate to struggling to just, idk, properly socialise sometimes?

i feel like i'm generally good at socialising, but sometimes i struggle with social cues/norms and i've been told i can come off too blunt/explicit on occasions. it's not that bad but it can sometimes be annoying

idk, i don't feel like it affects me enough to be like "oh i'm ND/autistic", but i do relate quite a bit to a lot of descriptions of ND experiences and how ND people navigate the world. it feels kinda incorrect to describe myself as such, but i feel odd saying that i'm not either.

in canberra today and have rode a cool tram
now on this alamein line train and i’ve got this entire fucking carriage to myself lmao
update: i have crossed the yarra
on a journey to the eastern suburbs today
god it's comforting to know that there were like five nazi shitheads at the pride centre tonight as opposed to dozens of counterprotesters. sucks that the drag event got cancelled but good to be reminded how much of a minority these insane bigoted freaks are
if anyone remembers following me on an old iteration of this account, you'll unfortunately have to refollow as i migrated my followers to a new instance which i promptly deleted lmao, losing all the follows i had there.
now on the bus home from healesville, just drove through yarra glen and saw this (seemingly) completely isolated level crossing in yarra glen, with a dead-end track on one side and a station building on the other. any folks on #train or #gunzel mastodon have any idea what’s going on here? presumably some sort of restoration work? looked relatively new so i doubt it’s abandoned
am back here on aus.social, and here’s some cool pictures i took today at the yarra valley railway to celebrate! lovely journey and very nice volunteers, would recommend to anyone visiting the area. idk what hashtags to add, so uh #trains i guess?
kinda tempted to start my own mastodon server now. idk why but it tickles all the little autistic parts of my brain
