Ancient Woodland doesn’t mean the trees are ancient

It means trees have been there undisturbed for thousands of years, & at least since consistent national records started in the 17th Century

It’s the soil that is ancient

The ghosts of the dying & the dead feeding the living

Ancient woodland floor covered in Autumn leaves, seeds and twigs

Searching for the very first raindrop to hit the ground. Today, KOKEDAMACHAN searched for that raindrop atop a tadpole's head. Maybe it can be found here.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Thanks for all the spoons. In return please enjoy the tiny fossil below, it's from my talk, deets in the alt text. Talks still not done and it's looking like crap. But it's more finished that it was.

Microscope photo of a tiny 3.2 billion year old microfossil that looks like a the little grey ghost of a raisin. It's about 20 microns long, or 0.02 mm

“High-functioning” means people ignore your struggles.
“Low-functioning” means people ignore your strengths.
Stop boxing us in.
Start listening.

Autistic decision-making isn’t just mental.

It’s sensory.

It’s relational.

It’s embodied.

Every option is a whole landscape we feel in our bodies - and sometimes, that’s too much to walk through alone.

We need support.

It does feel like everything, everywhere, all at once.

Tweet from Brian Allen: “🚨 RFK Jr just said circumcision causes autism, but not because of the procedure. He claims Tylenol is to blame... and says ‘two studies’ prove it. We’re officially in conspiracy multiverse madness.”
Below, a C-SPAN screenshot shows RFK Jr speaking at a table during a Trump administration cabinet meeting.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.
