Status:

Rough night ending with an exhausting stress dream (like a nightmare but more annoying) so wasn’t expecting much from today. Things improved slowly through the day and I felt able to do my therapy homework (see below) which felt good. I think I finally have a sense of what “masking” actually is now.

Listening:

• Origin Story: Karl Marx the Father

Reading:

• After 36 Years, DC Comics To Publish Rick Veitch’s Final Swamp Thing - yes, I have been waiting over a third of a century to read the end of this story.
• Cover-Up review – Laura Poitras’s Seymour Hersh documentary is a thrilling ode to journalism

Watching:

• SPX 2025: Ideas: Tom Gauld and Kevin Huizenga In Conversation
• Autism Research Institute talks by Dr. Dena Gassner, recommended by my therapist.
  • Masking: Deconstructing the Myths
  • Live Q&A — Masking: Deconstructing the Myths
• Chicken Compost - DEEP Fall Upgrade!

Evening Telly:

• Mo
• Frauds - not completely sold on this but might stick with it. Was Lucy Mangan watching the same programme?
