Is it really /s

The Tumblr post I got it from said it was a balloon that got loose…

I’m suggesting the BeOS successor.

Haiku, anyone?

I do not believe that is as relevant as you think it is.

There is a certain overlap between autistic people and furries/therians, but that is very much not usually the reason for this behaviour.

This is generally a bad idea unless you have a very specific threat model, as it makes your house stand out from the ones nearby, and may even then attract more unwanted attention.

Not necessarily a sign; just a common quirk to have with the condition.

Not all toe-walking is related to autism: it can also be musculoskeletal or related to other psychological conditions; and at the same time, not all autistic people walk like this.

I have a habit of sneaking up on people like this, too; and yeah, not all toe-walking is related to autism, just as not all autistic people do this.

Just “autistic toe walking”. I myself have no sources, sadly, but it’s widely reported and documented.

There can be a few reasons. Sensory, coordination, neurological… Usually it simply feels more natural.

A common quirk of autism is putting pressure on the fronts of your feet (though rarely as high as this) while walking.

I do it a bit, but the only sign that I am is that my shoes wear down on the front faster than other people, while the heel generally stays intact.

I gave up on notes platforms like this a couple of years ago. I just have a bunch of well-sorted Markdown files that I edit with nano on desktop and Markor on mobile.

Updating my shit in Termux:

# update via apt wrapper
pkg upgrade
# update yt-dlp
yt-dlp -U
# update everything in ~/.src
# (in this case, just ksh93)
gr ~/.src
cd ~/.src/ksh
bin/package make
bin/package install /data/data/com.termux/files/usr

Not yet, but the Guardian is also reporting this: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/aug/25/uk-to-warn-citizens-to-stock-up-on-food-amid-threat-from-climate-crisis-and-hostile-states

My favourite season is Autumn.

Hooray for the Greens and hooray for Hackney!
