  Things I Hate About Autism: *Lifelong insomnia *Being misunderstood *Misunderstanding even basic English since I suck at picking up nuance *Chronic digestive issues *Anxiety & PTSD (I’d say “Great at parties!” but no, no it’s not.) *That perpetual feeling of being alien in my own life *Worrying about what horrible things the current US government administration has in store for me and my kind since they keep bringing us up *Social ostracism (but solitude is also a gift) *Terms like ‘neuro...

  My Mom visited me in Japan several times and so she sometimes dictates what paintings I make to post to my online printable art shop. 😁 It’s a fun arrangement. Two weeks ago she asked me to paint the Arashiyama bamboo forest, particularly the section that looks like a tunnel. This is my first attempt at it. It was challenging but lots of fun. ☺️ All of my paintings are derived from my photo archive representing almost 30 years worth of travel. Available now, to print at home or anywhere that offe...

  I finally put up some more artwork on my online shop. I’d really love it if y’all came by and had a little peek. 😁 Painting is how I soothed myself when I was a lonely, nerdy Autistic kid. Now that I’m a lonely, nerdy Autistic old lady, I find it even MORE important to create! 😅 Much more to come! Your support helps me keep surviving while doing what I love. ☺️❤️ #painting #artforsale #artistsonmastodon #MastoArt #autistic https://payhip.com/NatureNutCreations

  Dearest Friends, After 25 years of traveling through Japan & Korea, I’m beginning a new art publication series built from my archives of photographs, memories, and hand-painted postcards. Every few weeks I’ll release a small downloadable set: a painted postcard from a special place, along with a tiny printable photo zine expanding on its atmosphere and feeling. My traveling days are mostly over for now due to chronic illness and financial limits, so this project has become a new way for...

  I swear running my own business is like an RPG. 😆 One challenge after another!

  Adult crying no matter the anatomy needs to be normalized in US culture, holy geez!

  “We need foreigners to grow, harvest and process our food.” “We need foreigners to work in our factories.” “We need foreigners to raise our children.” “We need foreigners to clean up after us.” “We need foreigners to serve us.” “But we don’t need foreigners to live among us.” 🤔 Hate to break it to y’all, but you’re stuck with us (immigrants). Better learn to adapt fast.

  Things I Love About Linux: 🥰 *Stability (only 1 crash so far and zero freezes in half a year) *Choices (so many choices of programs to customize your experience!) *Subscription-free *GIMP ❤️❤️❤️ *No annoying popups (unless I set up Linux to give me them) *Easier on the eyes *No pressure to use AI *No celebrity gossip, news or other US toxic culture in my face *Installing programs via Bash (because it’s fun) *Reliability There are many more but I have to eat breakfast. 😁 #linux #linuxmint

  Everyone needs more free stuff in life... I’ve been taking my old photos of my travels throughout Japan and Korea out of The Vault, The Archives, and am making little mini zines out of them so I can enjoy them in my hands as opposed to revving up my hard drive and seeing them on a boring screen every time. So tired of screens… So tired. Wanna see what I’m up to? For free? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ You can download your own copy of Issue 3: Susukino Nights at my Ko-fi page and see for yourself. :) Just...

  I feel like I was hit by a car! (And I know first-hand what that feels like). Looks like I’m spending the night with Tylenol, tonight… I feel so stupid! What timing! Just when my life was seeing rays of hope!

  Okay so I just ordered me a cheap bed tray table so I can keep chipping away at my business To Do list, keep making art and working on my projects while laid up on my rear. It should be here Saturday. No more pity party! I’ll make this work! Grrrrrrrr!!! 💪 :wecan: #selfemployed #NoPeaceForTheWicked #illsleepwhenimdead

  Thanks for the well-wishes last night, Everyone. ❤️🥰 I didn’t get any sleep but the pain cleared up about 70% on its own this morning. ☺️ I can move around a bit more than yesterday. The injuries are mild at best, not serious. I hope you’re doing better today too.

  Hey! Where do all the #artistsonmastodon and #artlovers on Mastodon hang out? Where you be at? 🙂

  Feeling better about things, lately. Even though I still have no income and probably won’t for a while, I’m working once again towards trying to build something for myself, and that feeling of having something to work towards is saving my life right now. I have many constraints working against me, too many to list. But I can forget them when I’m busy in The Zone working towards my goals, and that sense of empowerment is addictive. Lately I’ve been watching videos of amazing people around t...

  If we all survive this, how about the people of the world agree on two principles: 1) never again vote for a racist malignant narcissist fascist 2) quickly excise the lesion before it becomes a terminal cancer

  I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be a Christian who voted for a literal antiChrist. The amount of lying to myself I would have to do… The number of excuses I would have to tell people, or to my children if I had any… The mental gymnastics involved in rationalizing my decision…

  I’ve heard (4) separate Democratic/Left-Leaning podcasters announce within 2 days that they prefer J.D. Vance over the current president. And I can’t help but feel I’m being manipulated again. I prefer a general election, personally, not the feeling that I have to accept whatever comes.

  Unpopular Opinion: It’s kinda hard for me to get excited over NASA news while wondering how we’re gonna make ends meet this month and whether or not we can afford to keep our home because a president with dementia on the opposite side of the Pacific is single-handedly destroying the economy of the Asian country I’m living in.

  Nothing’s gonna change if everyone keeps quiet with their heads down. Democracy isn’t rocket science; it’s teamwork. It’s muscle power.

  Silent prayers for the thousands of souls lost and countless more affected by the horrible earthquakes, tsunami and radiation fiasco that occurred fifteen years ago today in Japan. 🙏😢 My husband and I were there in Kanto when it happened. The quake was so big, trains flipped their tracks and it was impossible for me to take the 2-hr train commute back home. Hubby slept in his car that night because sleeping in the apartment was too scary (debris and broken glass everywhere, power, gas &...

  If I were Putin and wanted to lay waste to the United States, I would bribe or coerce someone to do every single thing this current president is doing.
