My interview with Jesse Meadows for 'Sluggish' is up! Podcast + transcript.
We talked about #WeirdPride, #monotropism, being #autistic and #ADHD, #flow states and a bunch of other stuff.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Jesse is an excellent interviewer.
@quidcumque I'm a married Orthodox town-centre-dwelling leftist fantasy nerd, thought I was bi until the love of my life turned out to have been a woman all along, read Latin fairly well and Old Church Slavonic fairly badly quite apart from a number of more conventional languages, direct a church choir, write fanfic (not at the same time though the one is sometimes inspiration for the other). My hair has had exactly 1 trim this millennium. I wear only skirts/dresses, never trousers.
I'm a married Catholic suburb-dwelling leftist autistic sci-fi nerd, a bisexual agender parent-of-three chaotic good math prof, an excellent heretic, an Latin-reader, a writer of textbooks and fannish things, non-competitive to a fault and very awkward and shy in person.
Happy #WeirdPrideDay to those who celebrate.
I have just come across #WeirdPride.
Sooo... is this an actual thing? Weird Pride Day? I mean, this would basically be *my* day

So, welcome to the fifth Weird Pride Day, March the 4th 2025. #WeirdPride is about celebrating the things that people have found bizarre about you, because we all need to accept who we are. Hearing about other people's pride in who they are is a powerful thing. weirdpride.day
Join us at the second ever in-person #Edinburgh #WeirdPride celebration at Shrub Coop, 6:30-8:30pm, Friday 7th March
Come and celebrate whatever makes you weird! Or the things that boring people find weird about you… That might be your passions and perspectives, your queerness or neurodivergence, the ways you exist in this weirdly normative world.
This is a chance to meet and spend some time with your fellow weirdos. We'll be providing crafting materials, so you can also make your own Weird Pride badge, or something else related to weirdness.
You might like to dress fabulously, but there are no obligations.
We'll be hosting an open mic from around 7pm onwards. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/U8uvQw5hJaj7f4SP8

I don't often post on Everything2 any more, but it was a huge part of my online life for a long time. I made many connections and friends there that I've kept up with on various platforms ever since. A bunch of my favourite weirdos.
So I posted about #WeirdPride Day:

Honestly, 70: same.
