If I like someone, I sometimes go with "shut the fuck up" 😊

I get the sentences/particular words thing in my head. Have mentioned it to individuals on occasion but it's only ever been received with dismissal so I thought it was just a personal, unexplainable quirk of mine. You're the first person I've seen referencing it. I can inexplicably become struck by a word or short phrase such as "conjugational recombination" and have it rattle around my head for hours. I can get on with my day but say I'm at work and it's a day with an odd/previously un-ushered phrase stuck in my head, I can get some tasks done as normal then in between tasks my brain is as if it's enjoying some rhythmic/phonetic quality of the phrase as it cycles it repeatedly through my consciousness. It can get old very quickly but I tend to have no control over when it leaves me. Doesn't happen very often thankfully.

Music has been a massive part of my life since I was about 10. I'm always tapping out a rhythm, or have a restless foot/leg. My wife has called me Thumper after the Bambi character for as long as I remember. I don't tend to notice if I have a restless leg at work unless I'm emailing then it's obvious and pretty constant; but at home it's pretty much all the time. Even if it's just a toe doing an occasional stretch or whatever. I try not to "BE Thumper" when I notice it but then I find I'll end up sort of pushing or pulling a foot/leg against something ie my other foot/leg. There's less noticeable movement with that but definitely still something going on.

Are these behaviours ever associated with allistic people? I would have thought the phrases thing to have more in common with tourettes given my experience of it is that of it being involuntary.

Amber Road (mander.xyz)
 

This will likely be rather rudimentary for experts and professionals, and the map itself isn't pre-1950 but I recently visited northern Italy and had my interest piqued by Aquileia; which lead me to begin looking for info on trade routes from which Baltic amber was able to reach ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and The Caucasus.

I was aware that Cornish and Breton tin had been used in the Late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean but hadn't really considered the trading of Amber which for which the routes pre-date those for tin.

I find the idea of these ancient trade routes to be wonderfully thought provoking. Romanticising about how cultures like the Únêtice organised themselves and cooperated in order to facilitate trade.

If anyone here has spent any time reading about this trade route I would be grateful to hear of anything you found of interest regarding the settlements, societies, professions and daily lives of the peoples involved in this trade.
