When I was very smol I had an intense interest in The Year Without A Santa Claus. I made my parents watch it with me every single night in spite of being Jewish. But those movies were actually made in Japan, so by a lot of definitions, stop-motion Christmas movies are anime.

My #Pokémon trainer card made with circlejourney.net/trainercard/
I did not include any NFE favorites (like Wooper, Pikachu, Minccino, A-Vulpix)... I also didn't include any legendaries in this one. 👾

I also wrote this, which was my second foray into adapted #DBT for #neurodivergent people including #autism #ADHD #bipolar and more, using principles of universal design to create more accessible opportunities to experience and engage with #mindfulness.

Mindfulness can help neurodivergent people recognize cues about their bodies & emotions, & may play a role in reducing anxiety & depression—along with other challenging emotions. @egkeenan.bsky.social shares neurodivergent-affirming mindfulness ideas at TPGA:

You’re not thinking about the past or trying to predict the future – you are just experiencing the moment for what it is, using your senses. Elliot Gavin Keenan" Underneath the white text is red text reading, "tinyurl.com/ThinkingAutismMindfulness".

What is it like to be autistic & bipolar? How can we better support ND folks who require supports like medication or inpatient mental health care? We spoke with Elliot Gavin Keenan about all these topics from his personal experience & new book, Luminous Mind:
