As a therapist schooling my face is a very important skill… I often wonder if my face is LOUD. I’ve been told I’m maybe better at this than I thought… maybe it’s because I pay so much attention to my face and what it’s doing. Wheee!

I actually prefer tea but since working in mental health I start the day with a cup (or two) of coffee… this was a bad week to try and go back to tea… maybe it will always be a bad week to try the switch. Sigh!

Aunt Norris might be another character. She not only tries to align herself with power… she uses what little power she has to make Fanny, someone with less power, miserable. She doesn’t gain anything from it, but she creates a narrative where Fanny’s misery is required for her to retain her power.

Happy Valentines to all the Janeites out there. Remember that love is family, it’s community, and it’s friendship. I hope you have many different forms of love in your life and in your world. ♥️

When we try and use neurodivergency or autism to excuse behaviour, we perpetuate a false narrative - an ableist narrative - that neurodivergent folks cause harm because they are careless and don’t know better.

Neurodivergent folks understand when they cause harm - and the fear of causing harm is what many folks go to therapy to make sure they avoid. The individuals I see using this excuse for the harm they cause are people who have access to every tool possible to avoid spreading hate and harm.

I appreciate the conversation neurodivergent folks are having right now to say hell no. This is a whyte suprem@cist narrative that we see repeated over and over again. That mental health gets blamed when some individuals cause harm or that neurodivergence is used as an excuse for harm.

Just some Monday morning thoughts. We could all do to be a little more like Fanny Price. Nature is beautiful and we need to do more to be protecting the world around us. This is a good time (as it always is) to make sure we are listening to, uplifting, and engaging with Indigenous voices.

Jane Austen is still an amazing space for understanding the complexities of human nature. She wrote about the human experience - the hypocrisy, the heartache, the betrayal, the foolishness, the selfishness, the growth, and the capacities for change.
