What does true awakening look like for neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and intersectional communities?
Here’s my inclusive reading of Donne’s “The Good-Morrow”—with reflection prompts and actionable resources.

I’m embarrassed for our country when Shine Lawyers take $50+ million while Aboriginal class action members get peanuts. It’s exploitation all over again. The bastards. #4corners

The Department of Housing & Public Works stated via email that they will review my application in September.
As they know, that's too far off to prevent my end.
As one charity told me, that's what they do. Lie, postpone, delay, avoid.
The problem will resolve when we are dead.

I have been informed I am not eligible for assistance from the Government for housing because I don’t meet “core requirements”.

Do you support students (or colleagues) who hyperfocus—for better or worse?
Learn what causes it, the roles of dopamine and executive function, and how neurodivergent brains (like mine!) can thrive by working with—not against—their natural wiring.

This week so far I have reminded three disability organisation accounts on here to use alt text, two of them were vision impairment related posts . None of the three accounts have acknowledged my request to be inclusive. This makes me question if they are genuine or just scam/bot accounts. Be wary!

One year ago, #MrKitty returned home.
In less than two weeks, we will no longer have a home.
Nowhere to belong.
Mr Kitty, Millie et al., we may all be back together soon.
Honestly, that reunion can not come fast enough.
I am so damn tired.

Mr Kitty is now home, where he belongs. In time for #Caturday.
Still undecided on which photo to use, or if I will change it regularly.
Also not sure where I will end up keeping his memorial.

Getting overlooked for a specific job now, that felt like we were a perfectly engineered match…
Granted I got hit with rejection for two other positions at the same time.
… it really stings, more than most.
Was it because I’m #disabled, queer? Facing homelessness?
Or “overqualified”?
