Reading everything my ADHD brain decides is interesting today. She/her 🌈
Pinned
My 2025 goal is to manage overstimulation.

I don't want tips about being a ‘perfect’ parent. I need something that acknowledges how hard parenting is when your brain feels like it’s constantly on the verge of short-circuiting.

Thankful this book exists and @lucybexley.bsky.social for the rec 💙📚

Deciphering toddler speak

My wife: What does it mean when he beats on his chest like Matthew McConaughey in Wolf of Wall Street and then yells, "EYES!"

Me: He wants to read Good Night, Gorilla

But how do other lesbian moms handle this holiday....

Didn't realize there was a person in the parked car next to me

So they just saw me shoving 3 mini snickers bars into my mouth with voracious hunger. Classic.

I speak as a neurodivergent therapist who works with autistic kids. We are exhausted from living in a world that demands us to shrink, conform, and mask just to make everyone else comfortable.
Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

whenever somebody says "when i was a growing up i didn't know anybody who was autistic" they're telling the truth, because when they were kids autistic children were chained to a radiator in a state institution

My ADHD affirmation of today said

"My to-do list is not an enemy I need to battle. It is a tool. I control it, it doesn't control me."

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

HAYMITCH. FREAKING. ABERNATHY. We are FINALLY getting his story in Sunrise on the Reaping and I am buzzing. The 50th Hunger Games. The second Quarter Quell. Twice the tributes. Twice the blood. Infinity times the emotional pain. Let's go!!!

Imagine growing up thinking antibiotics were a government hoax and that a high school diploma was just propaganda.

Educated is a memoir about surviving your own family, escaping a doomsday bunker childhood, and realizing that knowledge is, in fact, power
