A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Happy Imbolc! This old Celtic festival marks the start of spring, the beginning of the lambing season, and may have been dedicated to a goddess called Brigit, later St Brigid - the first female saint in Irish literature.

ND clients' therapeutic goals may constitute a greater ability to care for their nervous system & improve executive functioning skills, clarifying needs, learning to self-advocate, addressing internalized shame & working toward a positive self-identity
Blog post: A fundamental way in which therapists harm autistic clients is when the therapist does not acknowledge their ableist stance. If a therapist believes their "truth" is correct, any impasse in the relationship must be due to the client's pathology.
When Therapy Harms Neurodivergent Clients
Neurodivergent clients are often misdiagnosed and mistreated due to a lack of therapeutic training. Create a neurodiverse-affirming practice by letting go of ableist practices.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Economically inactive’ defines people by what they are not, reducing status. So let me tell you what economically inactive people are:
- Carers, doing the majority of unpaid physical and emotional labour.
- Volunteers, giving us all a safety net.
- Taxpayers, contributing to their local economies.

Suicide and homicide rates are devastatingly high for #trans people, especially autistic trans folk.
