This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered.

@masukomi
indeed! :)))

@masukomi what a great woman. It's people like these that hold the torch for our species if you ask me.

@twynn i couldn’t begin to guess as i have no idea what was cut. Is the audio available somewhere? Is that how you know about more questions?

@masukomi

"if I didn't keep swimming, I was going to be sitting in my own vomit."

A metaphor for life

@Owlor i suspect she’s just an autistic woman who never had one to begin with.

[fullofmang@mastodon.au]

@masukomi that's glorious

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@HaraldKi thanks Harald. I was assuming it was over near the country of Georgia but also confused because couldn’t figure out why it would have a straight. To be honest i thought the country of Georgia was landlocked until just now.

@masukomi thank you for sharing that, it made me chuckle.

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@DJGummikuh i mean, us autistic folks have invented our figured out most of the cool shit so…

Don’t know for a fact that she’s autistic, but dang did she leave a lot of clues.

[djgummikuh@mastodon.social]

@masukomi to be fair, I don't really think that categorization makes sense here, my admiration goes deeper than that. For whatever reason, she pushes the limits of what not only herself, but humanity as a whole can achieve and is approaching this with an almost child-like fascination despite the tremendous ammount of effort involved. Now whether she did that because she's autistic doesn't matter any more than the fact she's a woman in my opinion, I just admire her approach to life.

@masukomi @bart What a shitty interview and she got #fat for nothing. #wasteoftime - don't read

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@DJGummikuh that perfectly describes the autistic approach to our special interests. Some of us just happen to have special interests with broader applications. Einstein being the most famous example, but there’s also no way I’m buying that Charles Babbage and many other people who drove humanity with discoveries or inventions that required years of hyperfocus on no one else cared about weren’t also autistic.

@masukomi Magnificent lack of fcks. I want to be her friend. 10/10 incredible attitude.

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@masukomi "I don't think I've recovered from childhood" is already so relatable right from the start

[helle@tacobelllabs.net]

@masukomi That indeed is one of the wildest and most real interviews I read. 10/10 approved — Violet

@masukomi From another interview with her.

“I ate pretty much nothing but ice cream every day for months and months and months,” she said. “I highly recommend everyone try that at least once in their life.”

OMFG, this woman, loving this — Violet

@masukomi
disappointing to see the wikipedia entry for SoG hasn't been updated to reflect her spiteful achievement

[squirrelwithaninvisiblew@mastodon.social]

@deadDuck @masukomi @agturcz Is the volte-face *because* she’s on Facebook and Instagram? Either way, it’s a shame as you were so enthusiastic!

[mintspies@beige.party]

@deadDuck @agturcz @masukomi these are top quality responses. Excessive ice-cream is *almost* enough to make me want to exercise!
