I'm retired now, but busy painting like there's no tomorrow- spurred on by the rise of AI slop. My protest is to keep creating no matter how hacky, amateurish, and unpolished my work is. I write also and if I have time knit and crochet.

also if you follow me for my autism and neurodiversity related content, you really do need to follow Sonny. Maybe it will help convince them to post more often. 👀
How can we talk about neurodivergence or neurodiversity without relying on medical diagnostic labels?

We deserve to understand ourselves beyond the DSM.

We deserve to assign our own meanings to our differences instead of relying on the single narrative that they’re a deficit, disorder or illness.

Today in Hell Yes, Research! "We argue against normalization and “cure, ” in part because many autistic traits can function in neutral or positive ways, although other people may misunderstand or stigmatize atypical behaviors." From @drstevenkapp.bsky.social:

There are pros and cons to getting a professional diagnosis as an adult, so I decided to weight them in meme form!

@susiedent.com #twowords loving the game- have discovered an oddity though...The bot Wordsworth doesn't seem to be able to swap letters. Halfway through a game it passed every turn. Easiest win ever!

#addbirder question for Darryll - i was added weeks ago but my bird posts dont show up any more on the birds! feed. Also you said you'd added #nzbirds to the included tags but it's not on the list any more? Am I in birb prison? Have I committed avian sin? Please include me again.
