Put lipstick on a pig, and it’s still a pig. Dress up ABA without calling it ABA, and it’s still ABA.

“I am not a woman I’m a problem” I love that

I don't want to mask my autism, I want to flourish and radiate passion and love and live like a soul personified.

January 20th hasn’t ended, but this year is unfolding in so many layers already.

The dumbest thing you can say is: "it could be worse." The universe takes that as a challenge.

Autism is failing to realise that somebody likes you until they explicitly say that they do.

Is TikTok back on again? I accidentally deleted the app

Everyone has a special part of their place dedicated to things they need to throw out but don't know how

New Year’s resolution: Don’t be afraid to match energy when someone is disrespectful—if they’re shocked, that’s on them.

This Christmas, if you spent in your bed. Your rest it’s important, and the universe is happy you got the chance to recharge even if it felt lonely. During this time our bed is our home where you find comfort. 🏡

For all those autistics who find Christmas difficult.

I see you.

Please take care and take all the time you need to rest.

While millions are finding ways to pay for insulin I know there’s an insurance worker picking between what fine dining place they’re going to now from denying so many claims.

A common form of trauma that’s often not discussed in many spaces is undiagnosed health challenges. The constant experience of negative emotions that build up over time without a way of releasing or being treated builds up over time and lives in our body.

Do you know that non-speaking autistic children and adults understand the words you say? Yes, so don't talk in their presence like they don't. And don't baby-talk to them or ask stupid questions. It is condescending, demoralising and deeply damaging to their sense of self worth.

As the next administration admits to taking away the Department of Education this will hit hard the special education systems put in place from this… hard

At the point where every time people ask what I do for a living it’s 1. Live with a chronic illness and then 2. Then I have a job. So I’m working about 80hours a week.

This!!

Black women and femmes deserve to be appreciated in healthcare. In fact, that’s the bare minimum.

Someone: “Aww are you feeling sick?”
(Inner thought: Chronically ill wise or emotionally?)

I love seeing Blue Sky constantly eliminate the ableism and toxic medical dismissal and harm that many approaches in medicine and therapy have done. I feel more informed than I have been in a long time 🖤

Sending love to everyone on Bluesky with family and friends in Syria tonight.

Help! Couples are in Barnes and nobles now (jokes lol)

I Wanted Someone To Teach Me How To Be Disabled. Turns Out There Are People Out Here Doing Just That. Becoming disabled is a total identity shift. That intersection between the practical and the existential is where disability doulas come in.

"What is often difficult for able-bodied people to understand is that adjusting to life as a newly disabled person isn’t just a matter of finding the right care...Although those are crucial necessities, becoming disabled is a total identity shift."

A light pink Christmas tree with tree lights going around the tree.

My Christmas tree

I don’t wanna party like it’s 1999
I wanna buy a house like it’s 1999

At least we are all United in this feeling

The SCUM Manifesto is such an intriguing read I’m almost done with it, and now I’m reading over what happened to Valerie Solanas and her backstory. DAMN!
