Hello to followers old and new, and to those who haven’t followed me yet 😉

It’s time I wrote an #introduction thread

First of all, je suis désolée que cette introduction ne soit pas en français

Secondly, tha mi duilich nach eil an ro-ràdh seo sa #Ghàidhlig

Despite picking a francophone instance as my home, my French is very rusty and was never great anyway!

I speak much better #Gaelic, but will probably use neither often

1/5

And home again! #TransOnTrains

In case you missed me introducing Kitty yesterday … https://eldritch.cafe/@transponderings/109047844206853432

On my way to see Kitty 💕

I wonder if there’s a cultural element to the choice between ‘Don’t forget’, which feels friendly and natural to me, here in the UK, and ‘Remember’, which feels a bit too formal/stern

This is an amazing tip by Dani Donovan both for ADHDers who might be tempted to interrupt someone before forgetting a thought 🙋‍♀️ and for anyone who has something to say while in ADHDer or other ND person is in full flow! 🤞

My daily meds reminder a few days ago received a comment about the wording

https://eldritch.cafe/@transponderings/109013654154046482

I’m not entirely convinced that I should change it, as the current wording feels more natural to me

So what wording would you find most helpful?

Another late-night #TransOnTrains

And again I have the royal treatment, with a carriage to myself! 😉

For anyone interested in Gemma Williams’s talk on #RelevanceTheory and #DoubleEmpathy, it’s now available on YouTube

The passenger information system on this train has just run through its entire repertoire of recorded announcements! 😂

People to retain tickets for barriers

Certain tickets not valid

Train stopping here due to engineering work

Train running very late – claim a refund

etc.

#TransOnTrains again (very empty ones!)

What could I be up to? 😉

Is this a bi plane? 😉

I’m often asked* about the difference between a pandemic and a bidemic

The first affects everyone, regardless of gender

The second affects people of two or more genders

In practice, the two terms are often used interchangeably

*I’ve never been asked
