Shout out to every trauma survivor working today to shift a belief or behavior that no longer serves you. It's awkward, it's annoying, it's tiring, it can be scary. And, it's how we change how we feel & function over time-- by doing it even though it sucks.
You're doing it.
You're doing it.

I agree with this. We need people to change their minds and help us fix this. However, there were definitely people out there warning about this stuff. People get to be wrong, and people get to be angry about the harm that was caused. Accountability means owning the truth and making amends.
If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

Two things are usually happening when we're being gaslit: our reality is being questioned, & we're being blamed.
Pay attention to when you're feeling "crazy" & blamed, & get in the habit of pushing pause, breathing, reorienting, & reality testing.

This happened last night and cracked me up.
V: *comes in to say goodnight*
Me, nasally and hoarse, obviously sick: Hi!
V: *stops dead in their tracks and backs out of the room*
Me: 😂😂 Fair enough!

We're spending the afternoon together. I'm writing at the table, and she's all tucked in and cozy.

My grandma's family does a yearly Christmas party the first weekend of December. I haven't been able to go in 20 years, but the pictures are online the next day without fail. This year was their last one. It feels like something stable and grounding is ending. The reason? ⬇️

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between.
We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

Accommodations aren't special treatment. Disability isn't a privilege. Diagnosis, however, is a privilege. So, we don't need to be hypervigilient or make examples of people who ask for more help without their proper paperwork. Working in nondisabled ways isn't superior to disabled working.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Pay off debt, invest in my business, and travel. Maybe rent a cool little studio space to work in.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

This is where the smaller Santa hat ended up. I asked V if I could decorate their Titanic model this year. They hung the lights and I made the hat. My stocking ripped last year, so I got a new one and V was like, "You should use the old one for the hat." It was what pulled the whole look together.

V came home yesterday with a gift for me. They were very thoughtful about the stones they picked for me. It made me cry a little and I felt very loved and cared for. What a thoughtful person! I am privileged to know them. 💖🥰💖

After posting this, I felt a wave of embarrassment. Like I'm stupid for "being messy" in a public way. Like I'm "hurting my brand."
I don't want to suppress myself. That's how I end up giving care and not getting any back. That's how I end up burned out and depressed. So, I'm glad I said something

I'm feeling super stressed so I tried to spend a little extra time with my cats. Then I found a series of matts under Freyja's ear. Her hair is thick; it's a constant battle. So I burrito her and cut it out. She visibly relaxed when it was out, but she's still
