It works! I finally have my Spotify back. Feels weird not having Super Simple Songs and Steve & Maggie coming up in recommended… www.thejournal.ie/spotify-wrap...

A new Spotify setting finally stops your kids’ music taking over your Wrapped and recommendations

The setting was introduced by Spotify last week.

As an ADHDer I sometimes get bored with clothes and pass them on… only to find myself a year or 5 later buying almost the same thing! Lesson learned, things need to go into a pending place for me to revisit before saying a final goodbye.

Haha sometimes I totally forgot I’m writing a book until I look at my BlueSky bio! Fuck ADHD I’ve written 12,000+ words since Friday but it was for assignments. I need to redirect the flow state!

Shout out to all parents who are having a tough week as their children struggle with the return to school. The novelty of new school bags wearing off, night terrors creeping in, tired and cranky, a new routine & many of them separated from friends.

My nephew vomited on my shoes on Saturday. While they’re washed and fully dried (twice) it really brought home that autistic thing of there really only being one pair of shoes… despite owning many.

I love my work! My day is so rich, varied, sad, funny, complex and human. When I think of the misery I lived doing an office job. So grateful to that part of me that got sense in 2013 and changed careers!

In a shop yesterday my child is dawdling along. Several high vis jackets behind us in the queue, clearly on lunch, getting a little impatient. “Pick up the pace love” I say to him. “What pace? Where?” He says looking at the ground. Whole shop erupted with laughter & he got a free lollipop. ❤️

Hand on heart I don’t think I ever really knew how to “do supervision” until this training I’m currently doing to be a supervisor. How come in all of my years as a therapist I was never guided through how to make the most of supervision?

Doctors with opinions that have nothing to do with science and everything to do with misogyny are dangerous damaging people. What a harmful, misinformed article. The women who are finally finding answers after decades of internalizing that they’re the problem are not “deluded”.

It's called rape. Nobody 'had sex' with anyone. And then a suspended sentence? After producing child sex abuse materials as well? Sickening. www.thejournal.ie/limerick-man...

Young man who had sex with 14-year-old girl and filmed her given suspended sentence

The Limerick man, who was aged 18 at the time of the offences, pleaded guilty of three counts of defilement and one count of producing child pornography.

This morning my son said “no mammy I can’t bring that dinosaur to school…it’s pink” And? “Pink is for girls” My heart broke a little. He’s 3 & he definitely isn’t getting any of this gender crap at home. It starts that young? 💔

My son is just 3. We’re a week off his first ‘school’ summer holidays. It’s mad how much juggling this means for someone self employed! Childcare solutions are few and far between here. To the parents in a similar boat with no village & zero family support, I see you (I am you) 👋

Lads on twitter talking about how immigrants are going to 'take are jabs' (typos deliberate) while the owner of the CSAM generator is promoting AI and driverless vehicles. The lack of self awareness is off the charts.

Nothing like a shit night’s sleep. It’s going to be one of those days.

Therapist doing online therapy with a screen behind them. It looks like they’ve got their shit together but behind the screen is messy chaos. Just a day in a therapists world.

Absolutely huge crowds in Belfast to reject the far-right, paramilitarism, racism and border violence. A loud message to the politicians who pandered to violent paramilitary groups this week

Do people really buy books written by AI? Why?? I’m back on fire with my own writing and there’s a huge part saying why bother? AI will have it as a best seller before I even consider how to publish.

I’m seeing more and more places advertising themselves as “neuro-informed”. Whats that supposed to mean? You know we have nerves? Is it just me? I’m perceiving that as a bit of a red flag. You’re either neuro-affirmative or not. I feel neuro-informed is not at all the same as neuro-affirmative.

“Mammy can you be the bread and I be the butter?” A new way my child is asking for snuggles. Very cute.

My child often seems indecisive. Until he’s getting a back scratch! “On the skin, left, up, circles, down, right, triangle scratches, faster, softer…” when it matters to him he knows his mind! (He didn’t lick that off a stone…)

Whatever happened to essay type stream of consciousness blogs? So many of my newsletters and blogs I follow are now bulletproof points with several M dashes. To the person who I originally followed it was YOUR voice I read, don’t lose your confidence in this AI era.

Do you offer autism assessments for adults? We know clinics are busy! Our PASS (Post-Assessment Support Service) offers a referral pathway so your clients receive neuro-affirming 1:1 support after assessment without you having to manage the service internally. thrivingautistic.org/pass-service/

Ah fuck off. Not you Jo! Obviously. I love our local library, it’s so inclusive and welcoming. I’ve hosted and talked at events in SDCC libraries. Libraries are so community focused this is a very disturbing decision.

What an thoughtful decision of the event coordinators at St Annes to ensure that disabled people are protected from seeing #CMAT by providing an incredible view of this tree. We paid for #CMAT...but I'm sure the tree is in our best interests.

A stage viewed from an accessibility platform. You can see a performer on the screen but the stage is obscured entirely by a tree.
