The massive explosion in use of satellite imagery by archaeologists has led to the discovery of hundreds of thousands of ancient sites and features across the world in the last 25 years, none of which were known about previously due to data resolution+coverage.

Burnout didn’t come out of nowhere.
it came after years of pushing myself ridiculously hard and barely surviving.
It came from never being allowed to say, “this is too much” or “I need help.”
It came from the pressure to keep functioning, no matter the cost.
I didn’t break down—I wore down.

Why the autism jigsaw puzzle piece is such a problematic symbol
To many autistic people, the puzzle piece represents stigma, exclusion and a harmful push to make them conform.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and I just want to say this:
You don’t have to change to be worthy of love. You don’t have to mask, shrink, or shape-shift for anyone.
Your authentic self is something to celebrate.
Not just for April, but always. #autismacceptance #austismawareness
