Humble reminder of just how insignificant we are, and just how significant kindness really is.

#CarlSagan #PaleBlueDot

$Carl Sagan “Pale Blue Dot” quote superimposed on first unprecedented image of earth from a distance (quote condensed for alt text limitations): “Look again at that dot... On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines… in the history of our species lived there- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."$

When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow.

If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth.

A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.

Personally, I want ALL the deets. The more information, the better. For some people, that's too much.

Here's the tl;dr version... the most important bits condensed into one page. (Same page two.)

And that's just one example of how Divver makes healthcare accessible for all.

Black-and-white flyer titled “Postpartum Mental & Emotional Health & Support.” Top left: line drawing of parent cradling baby inside a heart with flowers; roses decorate the right side.

A gray box explains that mental health disorders become a concern when symptoms disrupt daily life, encouraging people to seek help without shame.

Common Perinatal Mental Health Conditions are listed, with simple definitions:

Perinatal vs Postpartum (during/around pregnancy vs after)

Depression (during or after pregnancy)

Anxiety (extreme worry that makes daily life hard)

Rage (anger that feels out of control)

Psychosis (disconnect from reality, hallucinations, or delusions)

Italic note reminds readers that having symptoms is not a sign of failure; the key is to get help and support for both parent and baby.

When to Ask for Help section uses heart icons for bullet points, highlighting common experiences such as: feeling sad, worried, numb, or guilty; sudden anger or rage; loss of interest in activities or relationships; pulling away from loved ones; big changes in sleep or appetite; physical problems like headaches or stomach pain; racing thoughts, nonstop worry, or need for control; irritability and trouble managing emotions; confusion, disorganized behavior, or feeling “out of body”; and in severe cases, hallucinations, delusions, silence, or extreme mood swings.

The flyer combines education, reassurance, and a checklist of symptoms to show when professional help may be needed.

Anyway, I made this bc it made me giggle... you're welcome.

#meme #memes #NDmemes #actuallyautistic #maybeshesbornwithit #maybeitsthetism #maybeitstylenol

A variation of the popular ‘distracted boyfriend’ meme. In the image, a man labeled Autism is walking with his girlfriend labeled MMR (a reference to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine). He looks back at another woman walking by, who is labeled Tylenol. His girlfriend looks shocked and offended. The meme plays on the old format where the man gets distracted by someone else, but here it’s reframed around outdated and inaccurate autism-cause debates.

A preview of the sort of resources that will be available at divver.online

Education has always been my passion, but this hasn't always been appreciated by past employers.

Now I don't have to ask permission to advocate, support, educate, and empower.

#nurse #nursing #postpartumdepression #PPD

Black and white educational flyer with floral line art and a heart illustration of a mother holding a baby. Title reads “Postpartum Mental & Emotional Support.” A text box defines mental health disorders as symptoms that disrupt daily life, encouraging people to seek help. Main section on Perinatal Depression explains that depression can occur during or after pregnancy and affect anyone.

Two boxes list symptoms (anxiety, appetite changes, less interest in activities, isolation, sleep changes, hopelessness, guilt, difficulty connecting with partner, unexplained physical symptoms, concentration and memory issues) and risk factors (family history of depression, postpartum depression or PMDD, limited support, relationship conflicts, mixed feelings about baby, pregnancy complications, young age, being a single parent, or having a special needs/inconsolable baby).

Additional sections:

Postpartum Anxiety: excessive worry disrupting life, with symptoms like sleep changes, palpitations, shortness of breath, digestive issues, hypervigilance, obsessive fears, or avoidance.

Postpartum Rage: excessive anger, difficulty controlling emotions, harmful outbursts, screaming, swearing, physical aggression, rumination, frustration, or loss of control.

Postpartum Psychosis: described as a medical emergency. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts or behavior, disorientation, inappropriate comments, catatonia, or mutism. Call 911 if present.

Bottom text stresses that experiencing symptoms is not failure, and help is available.

Honestly, I feel like I learn so much better from gaming so this would be positively brilliant.

Hi, pls help 😊

Divver @divver.online · Sep 19

I wanna create a section on the website where I recommend different support options that actually support neurodivergent humans in a way that empowers rather than forcing masking.

Suggestions?
