me: oh yeah, I can teach you how to do that, let me just find the thing I read that helped me

*finds the link I think I learned the thing from*

*skims to make sure it& #39;s the right one, but apparently I synthesized information from lots of different sources*

well, crap

this is like 90% of the reason that I have a blog, so eventually I can maybe like. arrange all the information and sources into some sort of coherent structure, which I can then share with other people.

my mom was asking me about how to roast pumpkin seeds, and I was like. I don& #39;t remember but I would honestly just look at a few blog posts to get a sense of typical cooking times/temperature and how much oil to use, then add whatever spices I want https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷" title="Mit Schultern zuckende Person" aria-label="Emoji: Mit Schultern zuckende Person">

I taught a friend to knit a couple years ago and I brought a bunch of different yarns with me so they could touch the different fibers

and it didn& #39;t occur to me until we were sharing this story with my friend& #39;s knitting guild that this is not a typical way to teach knitting

we started with a hat and I cast on and got it started and I was like, "look casting on is boring and it took me 48 hours to be able to do it, let& #39;s just skip to the fun part which is knitting. If you like it, then we& #39;ll worry about casting on."

this thread brought to you by, I was trying to find the thing that I remember helping me learn more about trusting my intuition

and I think it was an amalgamation of like: artist dates, Focusing, some dharma talks, a book by Starhawk, and posts from Autistic twitter
