Christian Challenges
I think the hardest thing about being Christian is many people don’t accept it if you are honest about your own faith. I don’t mind if people want to discuss it. Sometimes I enjoy a good debate on the reasoning. It’s hard when they get angry when they can’t change my mind. Many people don’t…

Star Trek on MicroSD
My phone broke in November so I was relying on a goodish older phone I had, as I wanted to pay for things in my new home (e.g. washing machine). Though charging it 4+ times a day was a pain – its battery wasn’t good. I’ve replaced it now with a Motorola sim free with…

As an #ActuallyAutistic adult I feel fearful of the future.Particularly as I am structurally unemployed from not being effective affective labour.I am less capable at modifying neurotypical emotional experiences.Every year our society becomes more capitalist and market dominated.

Growing Up in Star Trek
I’ve been watching Star Trek since 1995 when I was 11. It became my #ActuallyAutistic special interest and still is today. From around that age I was considered a geek at school and not popular. I struggled to make any friends except other Star Trek fans. It’s fair to say a lot of my psychosocial…

Data in Star Trek
I’ve always admired Data and his relationship to Captain Picard. Rewatching Data I notice some of his challenges like his literal interpretation. I’ve often had a literal interpretation myself. His interest in researching most topics is very much me as well. He is the ultimate generalist. Learning more about philosophy with the historical context has…
