Bean cat has no eyes,
Only ketchup for a tail,
Feel his hunger grow.

Needs must.

2 Threaded Spouts

This afternoon will mark two weeks on #Spoutible .

The second week I've overextended myself in my personal life a bit, and burnout has slapped me down again.

I hope the coming week will bring some more energy.

A dry erase cartoon titled "Eye of the Beholder". On the left, one person looks anguished, and says "Oh my god, look at all these successful people... I can't talk to them!" Another person, on the right of frame, with the label "Successful People" above them says "Shit... I forgot to eat again."

This weekend the project is to put up a gazebo, but the frame needed treating first.

Tremclad is not friendly to my MCAS.

Doing my best to attack it in stages, and try to mediate my exposure.

Oh, it happened. My rating got updated. I wasn't sure if I had to get to 100 spouts or not first.

I've noticed the page load time has dropped significantly for me on here on #Spoutible compared to a week ago.

I guess @cbouzy and co have got that new infrastructure humming.

I'm not sure if #KeyboardPorn is a thing, but I installed new key caps on my mechanical keyboard this morning, which are inspired by the Data General Dasher D2 key style.

They feel lovely to type on. s

This was the basis of the terminals in the Severance show Apple TV.

Almost to one week here and appreciate the warm #Spoutible welcome.

Also thankful to folks like @Hereforthepopcorn and numerous others for helping me overcome my inertia in connecting with people, and making me feel welcome.

I appreciate you all.

I dislike my alexithymia sometimes.

I think I'm sad right now, maybe? But it's the physical sensation I have, not an innate sense that I'm sad.

Sometimes I don't know if I'm anxious or I need the bathroom.

Sometimes I can tease out what I'm feeling with the right video/music.

When you invited me to bubble bath,
I thought that you meant soap,
But here we are, with rice and milk,
I guess we'll cric crac croc.

But I hope at least it's oat milk,
I'm lactose intolerant, you see,
For both our sakes, I hope so,
Else we'll need some potpourri.

Night #Spoutible

It's been good to have a place where I'm free to be creative.

Been in autistic burnout for almost two years, and the one thing I need to recover is creativity, which has been hard to re-ignite.

I've been more so in three days here than the past six months.

That's postive.

They spelt "Bubbles" wrong again... also I think I travelled in time.

Also, for my fellow Australians back at home...

If we call Rice Krispies, Rice Bubbles, then why do we call Rice Krispie Squares, Rice Krispie Squares?

I demand a Royal Commission into it.

I'm low on words today,
My abilities ebb and flow,
Instead I'll share this picture,
A favorite, so your know.

A memory of a lovely day,
In a forest close to me,
So even if my words are few,
I can share with your this tree.

I bought this plush about 4 months ago (I love plush animals).

Was it foreshadowing?
Was it precognition?
Was it totally a coincidence, as I like whales?

Who can say?

Welcome new spouties!

I spend a lot of time doodling as well as writing, though not enough recently.

This seemed #Spoutible adjacent.

Here is a whale performing an air guitar solo.

I think I mentioned I have a #NeuroSpicy brain, so expect the unexpected.

It seems certain accounts I get the red error for when trying to reply no matter what. Maybe they are using settings about new accounts.

The error message just tells me to try again later.

It's ironic that some invite new followers to message them, but they can't reply lol.

It's Friday - Almost there! Here's a photo I took recently at a beach near where I reside.
