This is a photo of the color changing leaves in Schroon Lake, NY. I was on my way back from the Albany area and I saw this. I edited the power lines out. It took a while but I like the results. The AI tools don’t work so well but I manually used photoshop.

Stop pathologizing ND kids play:

Potato lines up her toy vehicles and put plushies inside.

A bcba would be freaking out bc they are lined up.

Oh no! /sarcasm

Let the kids play.

I found the first pendent i bought.

I was cleaning out my bathroom and I found this. It made me proud of who I am and what I will not tolerate.

I am happy this isn’t lost, makes me a little emotional.

Once again, gender has been canceled 😆

She came to our small town in upstate NY, unfortunately I was working but my husband went. He was not able to get inside. There were over 1 million people registered. She came outside and addressed the people who could not make it inside the small theatre. That made me so happy to hear.
One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them.

In case anyone needs to know or is in the dark:

Ivermectin is not an antiviral

It’s an anti parasitic used in veterinary medicine mostly and in very few human applications.

Stop spreading pseudoscience

Ivermectin and COVID-19
The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.

Just curious why your reporter Jared decided to ignore the 3 main campaigners who are responsible for reporting this bleacher

& why you went to the NAS instead when they had little to do with the campaign ??

So sorry for my absence. I lost 3 supported people in the last 3 months and not coping well. 2 of them i was extremely close with.

Like i do, i make sure everyone else is ok and ignore myself. Don’t do that.

I am trying to cope and i will be back when i can.

This is a photo I took on my way home. Daylight savings time allows me to get more of these type of photos. The way the barn, tree and the mountains look together is breathtaking. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1693...

On my way home from work and captured this. The light over the garage looked green through my camera and I love how this came out. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1693...

Being authentically you means having things you don’t care are “childish.”

I went to the Habitat for Humanity restore in VT and one of the employees did tell me that he loved my froggie plush bag but I didn’t hear him. i apologized.

He took a photo of Froggie Friend.

This was taken from my front porch. My oldest was complaining about the quality of their phone camera so i took my camera out and took this. I love how it came out.

I caved and got the mill composter. We have chickens. I wanted to compost but the steps make my ND brain say no.

One advantage I wasn’t anticipating. It takes all the things my pets try to get into that will harm them 😆

It’s set to automatically ground. We will see.

Accomplishment! I got all that needed to go into scrapbooks into scrapbooks! For context: i have one for each child. That’s 8 children. I didn’t have things for every child but it was a lot.

Will be starting research on the blog today before we play d and d. It was a request on Cassandra Syndrome

Being a Disabled DSP allows me to ensure those who lives in these homes are being treated with dignity. My employer, NY State, values my lived experience and have been able to use it to help people have more dignity.

I am known as the weird one and i am more than fine with that.

When advocating/ being an activist, don’t spread yourself too thin. This is how I burnt out. I just took on autism as a whole.

I am concentrating on quackery. This is better for my mental health. I hope to be blogging again soon.

Last bnai mitzvah for at least 2 years so we get our year to breath! 6 down, 2 to go. Seeker and Potato are left.

Remember living as your true self is a form of resistance. My disabled kids all became bnai mitzvot. They are part of resistance without being recruited.

Deaf tip:

If you wear behind the ear hearing aids you know it’s a pain in the butt to keep those tubes clean. Even with the tools they give you.

At work I tried a pipe cleaner. An arts and crafts pipe cleaner. Best thing that i ever used!

Things are settling down here in my personal life. I will try to post here more. Resist and be a menace.

I moved away from Florida as a queer Jew and am under the protection of NY state.

If you are a menace to the current administration, I want to hear about it
