Hey hey BlueSky, it’s been a minute! Glad to be back… the last few months have been a LOT and silly me brain-glitch blanked that this amazing community exists. 💕 So what’d I miss?

It blows my mind how many conservatives still assume that meritocracy and DEI are opposing approaches, rather than complementary.
#DEI is necessary for #MEI to be factual.
It’s NOT about handing jobs to folks unqualified to do them. Never was.
Why is this so hard for folks to grasp?! 😫

Last week the ward’s co-op student was attempting to paint a cartoon bear. So I grabbed my pencils and designed my own.
This bear is a definite vibe. Bummer.

I find it endlessly fascinating which items get confiscated by the inpatient nurses and which don’t.
For example; freshly sharpened pencil crayons? Have all you like. Dental flossing sticks? DANGER! ABSOLUTELY NOT!! 😱

Overheard in the common area tonight:
“Is that my pop or is it somebody’s urine?”
I might need to paint that over the entrance door.

Nothing gets us all up and out of our rooms faster than hearing a Code White* alert for our own ward.
Ironic self-preservation bested by our desperate craving for a tangible interruption of the monotony. 🫣
* white = violent incident (usually not that bad)

In case you missed the discussion around the term #Neurospicy, a significant portion of the neurodivergent community has very clearly expressed that the term is offensive for them and rooted in racial othering.

A dear friend visited today and brought me a much-needed oat latte. ☕️
I keep requesting coffee with my hospital-issue meals but alas, someone keeps substituting a daily cuppa lukewarm brown sadness water instead.
Plonkers. 🤨

Saturday #AuDHD Thoughts:
Sometimes I wish I’d gotten the useful Math ‘Tism but instead I ended up with this extra spicy (but mostly useless) Portmanteau T’ism.
I’m Portmanteautistic, if you will.

After a few days inpatient I get REALLY BONKERS PROUD of anything I’ve coloured. Like “could this be taped to the wall?” level proud. I’m normally never proud of anything I do; but in here? Full on kindergarten brag.
Exhibit A below. 🥹 Praise welcome.

My hospital bed flashes red lights whenever I sit on it. It continues all night long. I figure I’m either being prepped for launch and/or fat shamed by an adjustable bed – like it’s screaming “Nooo get off! Halp! NURSE!!” the whole time. Much restful.
