It was a good run. I had six or seven years of having some of that self esteem. Paying my own way. Making things people loved (and were "good" enough for several Chinese factories to make knock-offs). It was nice not waking up every day wanting to die.

I have had to finally go for financial support, which means Universal Credit. They way they treat people is grotesque, but you should know how they treat disabled people...

I ran a successful Etsy shop. I made a limited amount, but as a frugal/cheapskate with few expenses, it was more than enough to be comfortable. Last summer Etsy closed my shop for no reason, blamed me, and since then sales have gone from thousands to single-digit this year. Depressing.

I have an interview next week. It's one of those dehumanising ones. They are shocked I do not have photo ID. How do you not have a passport or driver's license? Well, I say, me going to this interview will be the first time I have left my home in 8 months. And I do so unwillingly. Don't need them!

4:30am and I’m awake because my carer has been so shitty with me today I am about ready to give up on everything. Why do I bother

"Escape From New York: Herpes" If only there was another letter in "HeroeS" which could have been made to be snake-shaped...

I like Final Girl a lot, but Hostage Negotiator Career is still very appealing to me.

I have decided to fight against the impulsive aspirational purchases of board games. Those big games I will never have enough people to play with. Luckily a lot of games have solo so it's not too bad. But I am always tempted by Cosmic Encounter.

Going through the process of #universalcredit I do not imagine this will be fun.

None of that snow we were promised.

I created this account today because this morning my career called me “empty headed”. I felt sad to be insulted but realised i had no one to express that to. I have always thought I was “alone, not lonely” but I don’t think I believe that now. I am lonely. And when you’re housebound, you’re stuck.

Hello. I am new. I am looking forward to maybe talking to some people. I am autistic and do not leave my house. I do not have any friends. Not real life ones or online ones. I have a carer who does not like me. I hope I will be welcome here. Hello.
