Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know, @sahat is the same person as @simid@neurodifferent.me. I had to find a new server as our old one was getting wobbly and admin not responding. So I took the opportunity to get a makeover. I love name changes, but I know it's irritating. Especially for autistic people. I am sorry. I couldn't suppress it. I just love to have complete design changes once in a while. Names take on meaning and over time there builds up an image of you. It's like a pearl in a shell, The shell is the name. And over time lots of seaweed is growing on it and it gets all covered up.Interaction has formed me into something. But actually the pearl is the core of it here and and I start itching to take it all down again.. And social media is one of the few ways to freely express that need. I'd like to die and bee reborn every seven years or so. Really. I hate being nailed down on an identity. I've heard other autistics talk about similar experiences of a loose sense of identity. So my apologies if I irritated you.
Forced limitations don't sit well with me, either.
But...why is your new name "saws" (sahat= saws in Finnish)? Is there maybe an interesting story behind it?🤓 (No, I just couldn't resist the urge to tell this. Sorry. I'll be going now.😅 )
@philcolbourn@actuallyautistic
exactly. And what I am is a liquid, is a beam o flight or a radiant, deep dar,k it is an impulse that keeps on moving, creating form, destroying and recreating it...
I'd like a change in the social fabric that allows anyone to pick their identity freely. Not just before birth, but throughout life. it would also make translife and all kinds of surprises from within a lot easier. Noone would care anymore, it would be normalized. Ahhh, that would be freedom.
