Embracing neurodiversity

🌈 AuDHD isn’t just attention and sensory differences.

Many of us live with a rich blend of Emotional Contagion, Frisson & Sensory-Emotional Sensitivity.

Let’s stop pathologising the people who cry at sunsets, feel music like a memory, & mirror pain with compassion.

So much better than that Tom Cruise movie!

GenX wasn't parented - we were disciplined. No one cared about our feelings. We were called lazy, talkative, impulsive, bossy. Incapable of finishing projects/courses. Don't forget the burnouts from "cosplaying being neurotypical" and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria! www.facebook.com/share/r/1X6R...

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Stop Scott Morrison's Order of Australia

I for one detest the idea of Scott Morrison receiving ANY award as his involvement in Australia was NOT OF SERVICE to it's people and it can be easily argued his actions caused both harm and death to many citizens from the heartless policies he enacted.

Hang where have I seen this before? 🤔 #auspol

Poetic justice? - This my local Baker's Delight.
A pity the government is not empowered to close down retail outlets for democracy breaches.

Idk who made this, but I love it!

Can this weekend get any better?

It's election day in Australia. Hoping #TemuTrump loses his seat and the LNP is annihilated in my seat of Whitlam and across the nation. Back to the 1950s with you.

This is a make or break election for Medicare.

The choice is clear. Labor making it easier to see a GP for free, or Peter Dutton who tried to end bulk billing for good as Health Minister.

Whitlam is my electorate. They're a laughing stock here. Traditional Liberal voters are not voting for them because of who they've chosen. Nathaniel Smith is a failed state Lib from Wollondilly. He was parachuted in from Sans Souci for that. Wish he'd go back!

That's what my kids call me when they're losing an argument. They know its the worst possible insult to a GenXer 🤣

A digitally illustrated meme features a retro television set displaying a black-and-white, vintage-style news anchor with a forced smile. Inside a speech bubble, he says, 'Be Afraid!' Below him, bold text reads: 'Other People Exist.' The top of the image says 'CONSERVATIVE MEDIA be like…' in distressed, bold lettering. Surrounding the TV are logos of conservative media outlets—Fox News, OAN, Breitbart, and others—each crossed out in red. The background is a dystopian sunset with ominous clouds. The meme critiques fear-based conservative media tactics and propaganda, portraying them as stoking paranoia about diversity and societal change.

🚨 BREAKING: New study finds that OTHER PEOPLE existing is NOT, in fact, an attack on your way of life. More at 11...

Community Safety Alert
If you’re not-white, queer or otherwise marginalised be careful on the streets of Richmond tonight, there’s a neo-Nazi gig “Antichrist Festival” at the Central Club Hotel at 293 Swan Street.

With the threat to cut NDIS funding for dietitians, we need Medicare more than ever!

Sounds like you need a new one

So much more common than we were led to believe!

The gut-skin axis: feel it in your gut, wear it on your skin We continue our series on the gut axis, this time focusing on the gut-skin connection. You might have noticed it yourself—how a heavy, sugary meal can lead to breakouts the next day, or how certain fo...

"The gut-skin axis shows a strong connection between gut health and skin conditions. Current studies are developing microbiome-targeted therapies using probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics to benefit both skin and gut health and show promise in managing skin conditions..."

Canva graphic with a white background, and a red, white, and black rainbow at the top. Black text reads, "Some people might wonder why all their friends’ kids are “suddenly” being diagnosed as neurodivergent but then i look at my friends themselves ...and well, yeah. that tracks." Smaller text in the corner reads, "@ThinkingAutism"

It's not a mystery why neurodivergent people tend to have neurodivergent kids—even if those kids' neurodivergence isn't exactly the same as the parents'. Spread the word. -SR, who is gazing at her own friends with so much love. #neurodiversity

some ways to generate electricity

A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.
