Does this doctor not understand what “was a key motivating factor” means?

I’m looking forward to watching Murderbot though it’s a TV show. It just wants to be left alone to watch TV. We need more stories like this because clearly the “don’t fuck with tech” message really isn’t getting through, people decided that means “fuck with tech” (wink wink).

My next steps will be focused on going through the report, moving location, & looking into treatments & government help. But I want 2 state that while there are difficulties, a lot of things could be managed better if we looked after disabled people as we should be. Society is broken, I’m not. (4/4)

I’m lucky because I’ve got a super supportive husband, his mum & wonderful friends. I can’t imagine what it would be like going through this process without help. I also had a brilliant neurodivergent therapist from Neudle. There’s no time 2 discuss treatments, it’s all focused on diagnosis. (3/4)

I had 2 do diagnosis over 4 months due to finance & lack of spoons. It’s an expensive & rigorous process & I’m confident that it was correct. I hate that it had 2 happen during really bad autistic burnout but I probably would have burned out my brain and body if I’d had to keep going as I was. (2/4)

Well I’ve come out of the other end of diagnosis for suspected autism and ADHD, CPTSD and OCD with Autism, ADHD, CPTSD and OCD. Nothing was really that shocking, I saw these things myself but it’s nice that a professional acknowledged it. Self diagnosis is valid 100%. (1/4)

It is a wonderful day to help a really kind person and his family. @tareqeelbawab.bsky.social and his wife have young children, and they have not only kept them alive, but also managed to protect their hope and joy throughout months of unimaginable conditions. Please help them if you can.

People are shit regardless of religion, religion is just a tool like any other. Stop spouting discrimination and nonsense. Religion is just religion and it’s personal so keep it to yourself. There’s no “better” religion.

It’s true we have very active brains and nutrition makes a huge difference. Keto and intermittent fasting can work great for neurodivergent folks… but they don’t remove ADHD 😂.

So, for what it's worth: I don't think AI is taking over jobs because it's better than people or even good at its job. I think it's taking over jobs because it's cheaper than people and bosses like cheap and aren't necessarily aware of the (very high) risk of bad, dangerous quality output (7/7)

#infinitynikki obligatory giant moon photo shoot before it disappears.

A woman with calf-length, straight, blonde hair is standing in front of a large moon, facing away from the camera. She is holding a frilly pink and white umbrella, and is wearing a long-sleeved, blue and pink dress with gold embroidery.

Fun with Life Makeover x 2, Infinity Nikki and Dreamlight Valley. Have a bit more capacity to be creative lately.

A woman with wavy, blonde hair is dressed in a large blue and white dress with black and white crane birds and silver accents. There is water in the background and pink petals floating around.

A white-haired woman is standing over water in a flowy white, frilly dress, with a cape that is very light red and brown ombre underneath. Her heels have silver cages and she is wearing a white stocking on her right leg and white gloves that don’t cover her fingers. Her outfit is designed to give the appearance of a sea dragon. There are pink petals floating up and the water has a pink, circular tinge.

A woman is standing in water on top of a rock. She has blue eyes and light pink-blonde long, wavy hair that is braided towards the back of her crown. She is wearing a flowy, white dress with blue embroidery, a white feather boa with blue and silver parts, blue and white gloves, and a blue-silver flower crown.

A terracotta hexagonal tiled street has stalls on the left and right side with blankets and rugs, vases, pots, baskets of fruit, books, a golden tea set, and balance scales. Behind this on each side are a flower topiary sculpted like peacocks, and fountains and tall palm trees. In the background are two figures including Jasmine from Aladdin in front of a palace. A pond is on the right and trees and floating islands are in the distance.

All they have to do is strengthen the laws to include religion under hate speech but be specific about it so religions don’t get away with bullshit. Anti-discrimination should include any discrimination, not just the ones we feel a little bad about like race.

The problem is that hate speech doesn’t include religion, only race, probably because religion is a choice and we’re still a conservative nation, favouring Christianity. So they get away with the old racist dog whistle of targeting jews or muslims etc but saying it’s not about race so nobody cares.

I haven’t read the study but as an autistic person I can tell you mirroring emotions convincingly isn’t impossible. But just like you will probably be able to guess I’m mirroring and not feeling, the same thing could be said about AI. Bots don’t have anxiety, they have learned expected responses.

Beautiful article for International Women’s Day about invisible disability. Are we invisible? Or are we made invisible when people don’t believe us? Don’t validate our experiences? Many of us hide our disabilities because of rampant ableism, but even when we stop hiding, folks choose not to see us

open.substack.com

We aren’t invisible, we are made invisible

It is Women’s International Day on 8th March. Let’s talk about women’s health and how we are made invisible

“You’re so lucky I wish I could sit around all day” Every disabled person hears this at some point in their lives Disability is NOT a vacation. It’s an unrelenting full time. No evenings or weekends off. No OT. No manager you can complain to It’s a constant fight for dignity, care & survival

People often don’t know they need something until it’s given to them. Addicts aren’t bad people. You can’t know who will succeed & who won’t. Especially if the way u measure success doesn’t fit. Society would do better if people had ongoing support rather than having 2 burn out before they get help.

Putting some of my favourite outfits from #infinitynikki here. I was never into photos, fighting, fashion, gachas or platformers but I can’t tell you how much I adore this open world game. The stories, music and artwork are amazing! I love just wandering around collecting things.

A woman in a doll-like blue and gold dress with a white feather boa, gold shoes and pink, curly hair.

A woman in a gold and black ballgown with a black tophat, black necklace, vinyl jacket and gloves is standing next to a red and black bull which has sparkly horns, a red heart nose, and is known as a bullquet.

A woman is dressed in a pink dress with snowflakes, and a pink jacket with white flowers and green leaves and a green belt. She has pink, curly hair with a big, cream and green bow on top and is wearing a pink choker with a flower. Her white socks have pink ribbons on the side and she is wearing green shoes.

A blonde-haired woman in a cute, green hat, is wearing a green bubbly dress with white lace and green thigh high socks, green shoes and a green choker. She is posing on the countryside with large, sparkly, green and white flowers, and there are trees in the background.

I modified my @flomask.bsky.social to work with a Sipmask kit. The package contains the SipMask port, two caps, a support ring and thin straws.

Right?! You’d think stress, war, poverty, pandemic, depression etc would be mentioned a lot but people seem to think poor health is from poor lifestyle choices as if we live in a vacuum.

I do find it a strange commonality within the US. We have arrogant people in Australia but mostly people don’t give a fuck which is why nationalism doesn’t work here & nobody trusts the government. But it’s why we’re behind on infrastructure, technology, progressive values & other things.
