I made this account months back with “clawing my way back to art” in the bio. Since then I completed my first art grant- a collab with 10 students that ended in a public exhibit. youngreflections.my.canva.site
When it’s 2025 and you’re not in New England but you’re New England adjacent and someone shouts “I’m headed across the street for a grinder!”. It takes the brain a moment to adequately process. Just saying.

Conversations I never thought I’d be having- a terrified parent has a student in their child’s grade obsessed with Hitler who is on the trap team and dressed like a member of the SS for the Christmas concert.

Me trying hard not to reply “ODD is the creation of behaviorism” when someone new says their kid is diagnosed with it.

Turns out putting kids in baby SHU is a bad idea. Even worse for indigenous students. Who knew?
Decades of research against behaviorism? The Stanford Prison Experiment? TTI? Indian boarding schools? Anyone?

Not too often you watch an awards show where a winner speaks to the many assumed NDs in the audience and watching from home but here we are. #TheGameAwards

I’m pretty great at getting myself in positions of exclusion. I was in the beer industry for years before I was allowed to exist as a pink boots member. Now I sell books but can’t be a part of their big org, which also excludes me from their big online and digital format sales. Always the loner. 🤷🏻♀️

Snapped some baby cheeks (and fingers and toes) and while it’s not formatted for Bluesky it’s too sweet not to share.

Going through a death with my undiagnosed neurodivergent family is a whole trip. My dad didn’t tell me she passed until he saw I posted it on FB. The obituary is FULL of side stories- like how she won $1k at a casino. No one gave me any arrangement details- I just googled it and found her obit. 🥴

Thankful to have a session full of cheekies to stare at after one hell of a downer yesterday. 😮💨

Americans are awful at processing death. I wonder if that too is because of all these compliance-based positivity washing systems baked into our behaviorist culture.

Not my mother, a woman who allowed a kindergartner to walk home to an empty house and hang out unsupervised for hours, over here questioning my parenting choices. 🙃

Over here just having an American neurodivergent experience of all my special interests under attack at once that’s making it impossible to dissociate for survival. And hey let’s add a hormonal shift into the mix for funsies.

I got lazy and googled fun things to do with kids near me and no lie, my kid comes up as a search result. This feels like a trick question.

Who are the grassroots up and comers that are going to be the ones to watch in future elections? I need something politically positive to focus on.

Just learned the local Tesla iNfLuEnCeR was crying to his followers how sad it makes him to get yelled at with his kid in his twuck. Meanwhile guess who is often the lone wolf shouting at peaceful protestors and revving his engine to instigate through our public square?

My kid got us both one of those I want to know your story books and I underestimated how shit these are for high ACE cycle breakers. Probably should skip working on them for the parent days too. 👎
