Me: When my #Dragonbane campaign starts back up again, we’re going to do some serious role playing and I’ll make combats more dangerous and deadly.

Anyone who labels themselves as Alpha Male has some serious insecurities. But it lines up with the use of Alpha in software releases.

Octavia Butler told me one of the failures of sci-fi /fantasy was its inability to imagine the alien other as anything different from a human form "with a mask on." I rate sci-fi on that basis to this day. Yes. I knew her. Yes. She was exceptional.
Teens: I wonder if I'm autistic.
Early 20s: Attention seeking, probably masking ~24/7

Late 30s: One of my kids has ADHD.
Early 40s: Oh, I have ADHD. That explains it.
Mid 40s: I wonder if I'm autistic.

My dental hygienist found orthodontic cement on one of my front teeth this morning. I haven’t had braces for over 30 years! I’m a mixture of surprised, impressed, and a bit confused.

Choosing what to eat always feels so overwhelming, so I end up eating the same exact lunch for months at a time.
(until the fateful day where that particular meal is DEAD TO ME and I start anew)
