    352) I Accidentally Made Over 100 YouTube Videos

    I forgot I had a podcast, which seems like a good place to start. I’ve been spending a ridonk amount of time on YouTube and now have over 100 videos cuz apparently once I start something, moderation leaves the building. I’ve also been walking a ton, losing weight, wearing new clothes, and putting many, many miles on my poor little tootsies. Sparky and I have been checking out new places, which I love right up until my anxiety remembers it has a job. I’m still going to the chiropractor too. Today was appointment eight. I don’t enjoy going, but annoyingly, it helps. The cat family is doing good. Phil had his teeth cleaned Monday and is currently on antibiotics, which I’m sure is exactly how he wanted to spend his week. And most importantly: FALL IS HERE!!! So basically this is a catch-up episode about where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing, how I forget an entire podcast existed. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    A vet visit, an unexpected border terrier sales pitch, a questionable tree-cutting plan, and some thoughts about the POTS walk videos I’ve been making for YouTube. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    350) I Have Transportation and Several Complaints

    I got a Chevy Spark, named it Sparky because originality is alive and well, and developed several complaints about Chevrolet, chiropractors, Aldi parking lots, and my own hobbies. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    349) I’d Like My Car Back, Except I Wouldn’t

    A warning light, an oil leak, no money to fix it, a meltdown, selling my car to Alisha’s sister, and the horrifying realization that I care deeply about who drives a car I no longer own. I also get into why sharing a car messes with my routine so badly, why disappointment turns me into an a*****e, and why I apparently need a private vehicle for emotional and logistical reasons. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    348) The Vet Is a Dick & Now I’m on YouTube

    Xena’s vet appointment included a crying tech, an a*****e vet, and more reasons to wonder how much longer this clinic is gonna exist. My back pain has also reached the point where a chiropractor is about to touch me on purpose, which feels like an alarming new level of desperation. Plus, hikes, my first YouTube video, the horror of watching it back with my wife, and the surprising realization that putting my face out there doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it used to. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    347) No AI Detectors in the Woods

    Who’s autistic this week on Big Brother, accidentally turning into a section hiker, making a first Substack video, and wondering why a robot gets to decide whether human writing is human. Plus, an important correction: When I said Melody was becoming my new favorite BB player, I meant Taylor. NOT Melody! BB fans will understand why this correction could not go unaddressed. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    346) Death Sucks. So Does That Aldi Bitch.

    Tommy died, which is awful. A hike brought him to mind, Alisha’s heading next door for the weekend, Big Brother contestants won’t stop f'n crying, and unfortunately that Aldi bitch is still employed. Grief, errands, TV complaints, and the universe testing its luck. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38
