Catching up with a bit of @katefoxwriter75.bsky.social & Nic King's magnificent podcast, Neurotypicals Don't Juggle Chainsaws.
This one's on glimmers, which (if you don't know) are the opposite of triggers.
Restoration and joy!

(Note: in some places, like Canada, it's a bit more complicated, but authors still do get payments when their books are borrowed, at least sometimes!)

My background is in Biology and Ecology. I spent years studying the diversity of life. How sad that we openly celebrate the diversity of the natural world, but (as a society) find it so difficult to see the inherent beauty in neurodivergence. In the diversity of our own species.

Definitely had enough of the behaviourist nonsense that's rife this time of year.
My fave type of review…. From young people themselves…. This fills me with such joy & pride

Listening to a parent today describing her 7yr old as 'strong willed' and needing firm boundaries... in response to kiddo 'refusing' to go to bed because of monsters.
When did we forget that children are humans too?
Poor kid just needs to feel safe.
We are not okay.
You are killing us.
We are the canaries,
and y’all selling coal.
On this page, we get personal, we get feisty, and we get punk rock about it.
