Happy Holidays
For neurodivergent people the holidays can be a stressful time. This doesn't have to be the case though, and it also doesn't have to mean you don't enjoy yourself. It just might just mean adjusting expectations and making some small changes. In my family changes look like this:…

Growth can take many direction. It can be upwards, but it might also be outward or blooming like a bud aiming for it's leafy potential. Different types of growth will suit different goals. Read more on my blog. #growth #growthmindset #goals #blog
The many directions of growth
Growth can mean lots of different things. As we head into winter, it is a time I find myself reflecting on how I've grown over the year and what changes I might want to make to direct my growth moving forward. Vertical growth (aka the tall tree) It's easy to think of growth as vertical. Kids growing up and getting taller, or a tree reaching up to new heights, stretching upwards to get closer to the sun.

All the UK flag fans should be very upset right now that a British flagged boat and British citizens were just kidnapped by Israeli soldiers in international water! That is not respecting our sovereignty.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

No government has ever made me feel as worried and hopeless about the future as this one, just the prettiest little authoritarian fucks to ever grease their way into parliament.
On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.
Well said.

"Her youngest child - a five-year-old boy - is having the hardest time with the change, she said." This sentence is from BBC News & the 'change' the boy is struggling with is his father being taken by ICE. So 'change' is misleading. Call it what it is, trauma.

Today is the 80th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of fighting in WW2 in Europe. I'll be thinking a lot today about all the women who contributed to that, such as the codebreaking women of Bletchley Park, the 'ENIAC girls', and many other women who forced men to see their value. #veday

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.
Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

"It's all in your head" is the strangest expression. Like, yeah, that's where I keep my brain, and my brain is how I interact and experience the world, so it's pretty significant to my entire existence! Let's take mental health seriously. It impacts everything we do. #neurodiversity #mentalhealth

Please don't buy and then return books, use a library instead! If you love the book after borrowing it from a library then go buy it. (Or you know, just buy and keep books good and bad like a biblio-scar on your book shelf, it's part of your life story).
It’s not normal, it’s not acceptable, you’re just an asshole who doesn’t care about harming authors. Fuck you.

Idea: What if next time there's a queue for the ladies' toilets, you take your girlfriends and use the mens'? If anyone asks, just say "biology" (of course, you mean your biological need to urinate, but biology doesn't need clarification). Let's make ourselves an issue (in groups, don't go alone!).

If this were a movie, now would be a great time for an alien invasion. One that forces humanity to move past our differences to unite against a common intergalactic enemy. Sadly, it's not a movie, and I can't imagine any life form intelligent enough to make it here wanting anything to do with us.

I will never understand how a group of bigoted women go all out to destroy the rights of a tiny, marginalised group of predominantly harmless women instead of using their centuries of built up rage to actively destroy the patriarchy and the actual men who do us real harm.

The Supreme Court is due to rule tomorrow on the Equality Act. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.
It’s vital that people are in the room when their rights and freedoms are on the line.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.
