My autistic brain loves to plan out entire conversations before socialising. It can be tiring, but it comforts me. I like to prepare for every eventuality, so I map out every conversational path in mind, like I’m creating and repeatedly playing a “choose your own adventure” game.

One of my oldest comics is going around. A gentle attempt to poke fun at English common names.
A chart titled "animals with misleading names". There are eight animals with labels. Electric eel: not an eel. Mountain goat: not a goat. Maned wolf: not a wolf. King cobra: Not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing. Peacock mantis shrimp: Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp. Horny toad: Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend. Mayfly: Active through the spring and summer. Eastern kingbird: Found in the West. Many birds do not recognize its authority.

Them: "You're a marine biologist?" Me: "Correct"! Them: "I always wanted to be a marine biologist! But then I learned they don't make any money." Me: ".....also correct" 😑 Marine biologists everywhere, how often is this how people greet you? 😂 I'd say a solid 30% at least – at Pacifica, CA

Some day I will stop being surprised at ospreys' ability to lift off after being submerged, but today is not that day.

What a sight. After getting dragged under three times, this Osprey emerges with a massive pompano. Go bird go!

A 390ft rocket (the height of a building ~40 stories) just did a series of summersaults through the air. I know it wasn't supposed to, but that was pretty wild to watch. #SpaceX #Starship #StarshipLaunch
