I was unable to see my own posts until I checked “show read posts”. I take it you’re on desktop? Try clearing your cache; since incognito shows the posts, that suggests either a caching issue or a plugin/extension conflict, and the former is more likely.

Is the Rubik’s cube a normal item for you to be carrying, or is it a recent thing? How many times have you solved it?

I’ve noticed this as well, where I can’t listen to something with words (podcast, someone talking, TV show, etc) while doing a crossword or other word puzzle. I never really broke it down to realize that it’s likely because the part of my brain that processes language is completely incapable of multitasking.

I also have to avoid music with words while working; I’ll end up typing out the lyrics to the song instead of the email response to a user that I’m supposed to be composing.
