I have absolutely no problem talking on the phone with people I know. In fact, for many things I prefer it over texts/emails. But ask me to call a stranger or service provider? No no no no no no no no no NO!
Is this a neurodivergent thing or am I just a broken millennial? :)

Just bought tickets for a play in November in London. If nothing else it is safe to say that my covid-period-induced anxiety of making any future plans is finally relaxing. Yey!

A week ago today I was there 👇🏻
I was pretty scared going to such a large event with all the noise and overstimulation but I’m really glad I did. It was an incredible experience.

Yes, I’m indeed rewatching The West Wing again.
And I honestly can’t remember what it was like watching the last episode of a season on a GIGANTIC cliffhanger and having to wait months to know what happens next. 🤯🤯

I love Aaron Sorkin. He is by far my favorite TV/Film writer.
But the thought that anyone would or should care about a White House staffer being friends with a call girl and that a UK tabloid would pay money for a photo of them together and run it is just bizarre.

Went to my 2nd-ever huge concert (I’ve only gone to a few medium-ones and 1 huge before) and noise-reducing ear-plugs not made the whole thing a lot more enjoyable. I could sing the songs I liked and keep the stimulation levels down for all the parts in between. I am a happy camper tonight!

It's been a hot minute for #MHAWS but I've got one heading your way today!
In it, I put together advice from Lambeaux, a friend's child, Mary Oliver, & Tressie (as one does) to help us to stop stewing on past mistakes & move forward

Well I suppose we might get an answer to the question 'What would happen if you ran as bad an election campaign as Theresa May in 2017 but starting 20 points behind in the polls rather than in front?"

לגמרי מתחברת. בכללי בחיי (ואני מניחה שאני לא מיוחדת) זה אחד הדברים שהכי קשה לי לעשות ושאני מרגישה שאולי הכי מחזיקים אותי מצמיחה - ״אוף איזה מבאס שרק עכשיו אני מבינה x y z״.
אני גם ממש טובה בלהגיד לאנשים אחרים - ״תהני מזה שעכשיו הגעת/הבנת״ אבל ליישם לבד עוד קשה.

יש להם שלוש רמות שונות של noise cancelling ובאמת שזה שינה לי את החיים בהרבה סיטואציות. השותף שלי למשל נוחר והקירות בדירה ממש דקים. כשהוא כאן אני לא יכולה לישון בלעדיהם. מה שעוד יותר הוא הצורה שלהם מאפשרת לי לישון איתם כי זה לא בולט מחוץ לאוזן. קיצר, אני ממליצה אבל לא מתחייבת שיעבוד גם עבורך 😇
