Question: What do you do when your grants are terminated, you lose your job and the biggest science agency in the land chooses ideology over evidence?
Answer: You launch your own damn shadow committee to fight misinformation on autism and public health.

The boys' club: How #Epstein 's influence shaped the exclusion of women in #STEM

It's strange to have changed how I use social media. I used to follow the examples of posting about education milestones, trainings, stories about progress at work. Now I'm journaling things I am thinking or like.
I understand my why for this change. It's a bit of unmasking.
#audhd #unmasking
What I know now & will never unknow:
*My body signaled danger they overrode.
*Emotional trust was weaponized as access.
*Over-explaining was my fawn response, not poor communication.
*Blocking was protection, not drama.Impact > intent.
*My nervous system was right.

People aren't tired of the internet. They're tired of the performance. The branding. The curated bullshit. X We don't crave more content We crave connection. Something real. Words that make us feel something- That remind us we're still human. Ryan Hennessey

The Epstein files are everywhere. At dinner tables. In group chats. On podcasts. And in the middle of all the opinions, jokes, debates, and dismissals... someone who has lived through sexual violence is sitting quietly, listening very closely to how the people they love and respect are speaking about it. Someone affected is always in the room... learning how safe it really is to exist in that space.
Please remember and consider:

Between Belonging I've been doing a lot of shedding lately. Identities, communities, masks I didn't even know I was wearing. And in the quieter moments I've started to notice what's left when all of that falls away. The thing that's true across every version of me, every role, every phase, every room I've learned to navigate, is that I care deeply. I always have. And for a long time I hid that, because caring deeply isn't always safe. I've moved through a lot of spaces over the years. Each one met a real need for a season. Each one also had edges I learned to stay inside. So I got good at managing what I showed and where. It works. And it's exhausting. What I've been slowly understanding is that I don't miss the spaces so much as I miss what I felt in them. Being listened to. Being known. Having somewhere to bring my feelings, my questions, my grief, my half-formed hopes. And having someone meet me there with genuine curiosity and kindness. My husband still gives me all of that. Even after all these years. But something in me wants more than one place to feel that way. Not an audience. Not a group organized around a cause or a wound. Just a handful of people I don't have to translate myself for. I'm in a slow season of integration right now. Learning to be a better steward of myself. Learning that I don't have to explain everything; sometimes I can just feel it. But I also miss talking. Really talking. And I'm starting to believe I deserve a place to do that again. If any of this lands for you, if you've ever felt the specific ache of being known in pieces but not as a whole, I'd love to hear that I'm not alone in it. ~~~~~~~~~ The cure for burnout isn't and can't be self care. It has to be all of us caring for each other. Emily & Amelia Nagoski

Past selves sought external approval or understanding. Current me trusts the only one who needs to understand my somatic signals and needs is myself. I am becoming a better, more loving steward of myself. β¨οΈπβ¨οΈ

#GoodThings
Days of delicious comfort foods (storms --> eat perishable foods first).
Abundant harvest from food forest before flooding rains hit. Yum!
Cosy family time indoors, for the same reason. Also cats.

Good time for a repost πππ
Somehow, all the programs that help the majority of Americans are decried as βwasteful spending,β but the ones that help billionaires arenβtβ¦
Funny how that works.
Your periodic reminder that many autistic people are sensitive to barometric pressure changes, and can be in real pain from sinus pressure when it starts to rain or snow. So if you are seeing or feeling dysregulation, look out the window! And treat accordingly. #neurodiversity #autism

Evidence that talking to people with differing viewpoints leads to depolarization and positive experiences.
