Okay I said I wasn’t bothered at all by the outcome but, I am starting to feel quite I don’t know, strange? My weak ability to notice my own emotions due to autism is complicating my ability to know how I feel about that lol

As a "clean as you go" person, I'm firmly of the opinion that tech debt tickets are a good way to ensure tech debt never gets cleaned up.

Been thinking about autism a lot lately, and how my autism explains so much about my life and my relationships in retrospect. It's like I kept looking at things as this chaotic explosions of interactions and suddenly shifted my perspective and everything lines up in a way that makes sense.

Content warning: Autistic realization
I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to speaking at the #OpenUK State of Open Con 2024 conference in February 🙌
There's an incredible line-up and I'm very proud to be one of the talks chosen - from the submissions to the Open Source Software and Open Source tracks that I was helping review, there was some incredible submissions and speakers, so it's very cool to have made it to the line-up!
I'll be speaking about dependency-management-data, but for those that have seen me speak about it before, there's a tonne of new stuff since my last talks, and I've got some new stuff that'll be dropping into the project + the talk before the talk in February 👀

Extra special ❤️ to my fellow high functioners. There’s nothing easy about grinding to a halt, but there’s also a special kind of hell for people who continue to function and seem normal. It feels like drowning in plain sight. And on that note, the phrase “it’s OK not to be OK” can pop itself right in the sea as far as I’m concerned. Tolerance of poor mental health is bare minimum. Being not OK isn’t OK. People don’t need “permission” to be in that place, they need to be helped out of it.

TW: Suicide 2 nights ago I was in the worst place I’ve been mentally for years. I didn’t want to be alive anymore and I didn’t plan to act on it but I know it’s a short step from there. I sent a mayday text to 3 of my closest people and within 20 mins had someone with me. After a big chat, and 2 days of proper sleep, eating well, seeing friends and healthy distraction, I’m feeling much calmer and I can see the woods from the trees. Cont…

Every single person I know is currently at Grade A, Defcon-1, Ultra Premium Level exhaustion right now. So if you're scanning social media and this applies to you, let this be your motivational speech. DON'T do thing. DON'T go get it girl. STAY in bed. ORDER in. EAT some soup. TAKE a nap. REST is not failure. REST does not make you weak. REST is not laziness. REST is self care. REST.
