The scary part about RFK Jr's anti-autism push is that, if he gets his way, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. Diagnosis rates 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 drop. Not because there are fewer people with autism, but because people will be too afraid to get diagnosed, and those who already are will feel more need to hide it...

I had an absolutely amazing time at the Arizona Renaissance Festival and got to meet some fantastic folks, both new and familiar. Books, music, mead, and delightful company. What more can a wyrm ask for? 💖

It just occurred to me, with the word restrictions being imposed on NSF grant applications, there's actually an opportunity to standardize more inclusive language. For example: can't use the words women or females? Guess we're going with "people who are pregnant" in this study on perinatal care 🏳️‍⚧️🫶

The upside to forgetfulness — you can be pleasantly surprised when you forgot there was something you were looking forward to ☕

I just got my admission letter for grad school. 🥹

This has been a really rough year, for me. I'm hoping this is the start of getting back to where I want to be.

Tired of reading annoying recipe blog fluff? Well this is your annual pre-holiday reminder that if you add “cooked.wiki/“ before any recipe URL (type it in before the http:// part) it gives you a condensed no-nonsense version of that recipe including only the ingredients and instructions!

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important.

(listening to emo rap)
🧠: Idk, I think he'd be a good partner, he seems sweet
🧠: I mean, his songs are full of weed and anxiety
🧠: So are you. And he seems really in touch with his emotions, I just wanna be soft with him
🧠: ...
🧠: Oh no, I'm vulnerable to sadboys

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨

Always be suspicious when someone offers to pay you money out of the blue. I'm guessing this is the same kind of scam where they actually will make it look like they're sending you the money — But wait! Oh no, they made a mistake and need you to send (all or some) of it back! (1/2)

Does anyone else get tingles in your brain when you're baked and listening to music? I'm curious if it's the same thing people get from ASMR, it's like...soothing and intense at the same time 🧘‍♀️

My favorite part of being high is when I forget that I put on a playlist of my favorite songs and every few minutes get pleasantly surprised by the next song that comes on, repeatedly saying, "Oh! I love this song!"
