  What spooky movie should I watch this halloween? I'd like it to be something old(ish), no gore, ideally something that's a little silly watching it now. Monsterdon / MST3k fodder. Ideas? #halloween #spookySeason #movie #spookyMovie #monsterdon #badMovie #suggestionsWelcome

  During this morning's Wikipedia dive, I came across this cool picture of Czechoslovakian children learning how to ride bikes in the 80s, so I'm sharing. source of the photo: Josef Henja https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#/media/File:Children_competition_on_side_wheels_in_the_eighties_in_Czechoslovakia.jpg #80s #cycling #czechoslovakia #children #photography

  I just watched "The Monolith Monsters" from 1957, courtesy of the Internet Archive. It was good, clean fun, and I wouldn't mind watching it again sometime. If you're looking for something to watch (for free!), give this one a try. https://archive.org/details/TheMonolithMonsters1957? #InternetArchive #oldMovies #1950s #speculative

  If you're looking for articles to read for Pride Month or about queerness in general, in its many forms, JSTOR Daily has put together a bunch of interesting pieces (with accessible research sources). https://daily.jstor.org/lgbtq-pride-month-editors-picks/ #prideMonth #queer #queerAcademia

  Another fun film from the Internet Archive: The Land Unknown, 1957. Good special effects for the time. A pretty (of course) reporter heads to the South Pole with 800 men, then gets stranded with 3 of them. See if you can spot the scene they shot for the beginning and then ended up using towards the end of the movie! (Magic sleeves: now you see them, now you don't) Ps: In case of danger: faint. The men will fix it. https://archive.org/details/the-land-unknown #movie #1950s #scifi #...

  The Internet is ... not what it was like when I started using it, nearly 30 years ago. But the 'old Internet' isn't dead. It's right where we left it. This was a good read - interesting and hopeful. Thank you, @tg ! https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet thinking, again, that it's time to go back to blogging. #internet #federated

  @SFFMagazineCovers@zirk.us it's all nice and undramatic to look at until you see the shadow of the yeti in the lower left corner... So the yeti is an alien? Was he sent to negotiate, to explore, or to take a skiing vacation? So many questions.

  Another free resource: Stéphane Pigeon's online cat. This cat will NOT sit on your keyboard or attack your printer. It will purr while you work / read / sleep / ... https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/catPurrNoiseGenerator.php You can fiddle with the frequencies etc until you get the purr you need, or use one of the many presets. Actual recordings of Stéphane's cat Babouche. (fiddling with actual cats not recommended! Scritchums yes, fiddles no.) #whiteNoise #actuallyAutistic...

  There's not a lot of #research (yet) about older Autistic folks, so I thought this project was interesting: If you're diagnosed or self-diagnosed AND in the UK, Luxemburg or Germany, and you want to add to the data, you can fill out a "Questionnaire about Quality of life for Autistics aged 40+" https://www.soscisurvey.de/aqol/ #autismResearch #actuallyAutistic #AutismusForschung #Aging #Research

  @filmfreak75 that's a tough one. Obviously, some people you cannot avoid. Prepare yourself beforehand - talking to a trusted (!) person about the original incident & what seeing that person again does may be helpful. A therapist might be able to offer helpful ways to reframe the incident in your mind. Yes it happened. Your response is not unreasonable: you're trying to protect yourself. Find strategies that give you a sense of safety when you do have to interact.

  I still think that Dylan Thomas' "Fern Hill" is a perfect poem... So I'm sharing it here, if you need a poem today. Maybe read it out loud, it's got such a lovely music to it. https://poets.org/poem/fern-hill #poetry #mastopoets #wales #autisticJoy #literature

  Came across Planet Moss in my neighborhood. Moss and lichen have completely taken over this concrete pillar, and it's a thing of beauty. #mosstodon #moosMontag #lichen #naturephotography #lookclosely
