don't worry, I was reacting more to my past self than to anything you wrote there. it's been an interesting journey to understand myself as neurodivergent, with superpowers and limitations; finally managing to start putting my veganism in practice, after learning to cook; embracing various other social and economic justice causes that have long attracted me but that I couldn't find emotional/attention/willpower budget to do enough about; realizing that support for causes is not binary, that every little bit can help and that demanding more than we (or others) can give often backfires... these have all been things I've learned in my many years of activism and getting things wrong :-) some recently, some longer ago, and I'm coming to this notion that sharing about them might do more good than keeping them to myself. I wonder if there'd be interest in a speech about the activism-relevant aspects of this personal journey at e.g. free software conferences such as libreplanet. would people enjoy such a meta thing?
