PSA: Arsenic, which occurs naturally in soil, is building up in rice fields around the world due to global warming. This is heavily not good for anyone as millions survive on rice as a staple, and many underprivileged people may eat rice as their only food. www.earth.com/news/king-of...

Door’s open & I’m lecturing on Zoom, freshly roasted pecans & pistachios cooling on the kitchen counter. Cue a tell-tail noise & sudden yell at Luna: “Oh HELL no, you are NOT licking my nuts!” Both audience & neighbors: “Whuut?!” 😳 We all lost it & died laughing. That kitkat! 🤣 #Caturday #Cats

This is the corker of all stoppers for us #AuDHD folk! Learning to take *all the time I need to answer a question* (even days, hours, weeks or months) has been a key #adulting lesson / skill I’ve acquired only through relentless #selfadvocacy Turns “toxic trait” into “I’m my best mate!” 🥰🌻

Such strong mixed feelings from so many of us in the Autistic community. What do y'all think of this study? #AutRes

A friend on Facebook posted the rooty yamforest on the right & got the #eldritchhorror response on the left. I belly-laughed ‘til I cried. Plant that thing before it reaches the children! 🤣🤣🤣 In other news, it’s been a minute. Howya doing? Auntie M. loves yer gutz! 🥰 #bellylaugh #laughter #yams

Great recommend if you like rabbit-hole binges that lead you to #knowledge you didn’t have: the Arts & Culture app. Brilliant presentation on #Juneteenth - go check it out! Also, found the Webster fam - in the app. Mom did genealogy. This is Lady Elizabeth Webster, my 10 or 12x great-grandma!

*Maine*, damn it. Am currently in Mexico and so am failing in two languages!

YES we get to be mad that autistic people and our families don't get enough supports—But NO ONE gets to blame autistics for being autistic. One way to be an autism ally is to calmly ask unkind or thoughtless autistic-shamers, "how would you feel if someone blamed you for the way your brain works?"

Making #LionsMane soup & LOVE this one perfectly gorgeous geometrically divided Shitake. Beautiful! 😍 Also: Chantrelles, Straw Mushrooms, #Maitake, Bunashimeiji, #ginger & #turmeric root with herbs, spring onion, carrots & garlic in chicken bone broth. Delicious! Peep alt text for ingredients

#Autism isn’t trainable, despite schools turning us into good dogs We’re great mimics We’re good at maintaining the appearance of normalcy to avoid persecution We may or may not be aware of doing so, as being #Minimized and our self-protective reaction to it, is baked into #autistics from birth

#Monotropic split theory explains how #Autistic individuals experience cognitive overload and #burnout due to forced attention to multiple demands leading to energy deficits + mental health crises, made worse by social pressure so we never CAN catch up. No, we don’t all have “the same 24 hours”

Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

I feel so shade-seen my teeth ache. Surely I have never had an authentically “me” thought or action, it has all been #autism and/or #ADHD Anybody else? Or was it really our native intelligence taking full & courageous advantage of #neurology streamlined for a future we are manifesting, even now?

Making bone broth & the ol’ CSA box yielded up a veg I don’t know whether to dice & add or keep in the bedroom for emergencies. 🧐 #foodporn

#SocialMedia showing exactly what you want to see is the working architecture of the chosen ignorance that hurts others 💯 Must-see vid on #Stupidity Great skill-up on brain science & #psychopathlogy of the choices of a chronically stressed & tired brain #Intellectual #Slavery youtu.be/Sfekgjfh1Rk

This is about that time when I was 6, and got caught with a joint by my apoplectic dad, and everyone else who read the newspaper that day. 🤣 Picture it: A hippie protest in 1966, a little kid wanders in and… #1MinuteStories #Childhood #Story #Griot

Did I forking stutter?

Browsing ungulates getting fed is what I love about living in a “wildcrafted city”. They just saunter in from the forest & provide free hedge trimming in exchange for a snack. Wide tracts of woodland go thru town into the forest. Animals pass freely and today, (unlike pioneer times) are protected.

I’m re-reading old books by #authors who are now seen as #neurodiverse This is an early description of #Masking from Peter S. Beagle’s 1964 motorcycle roadtrip masterpiece ”I See By My Outfit” which set the tone for roadtrip #books like William Least Heat Moon’s “Blue Roads” #autism #ADHD #AuDHD

Podge O’Connor speaking on Masking & dropping your masks on episode #198 “Be Careful Who You Pretend to Be” of his Podgecast. A stellar show (as always) in which I spoke and repped for our #Autistic #ADHD & #LGBTQIA community and our masking needs. Enjoy! noomvibe.app/tl/ynqd

A lil’ bit on #ADHD & #Autism when you’re #timeblind: “Driving Miss Daisy” was made in 1989, its memorable theme composed by Hans Zimmer “The Holiday” (a fave) came out in 2006, where a song was ‘composed’ It niggled at me forever, but took until today to figure out it was the same theme #OnWeGo

This literally made me weep for joy! 🌸🐄😭🌸

Happy #Beltane! We were up, long before the day-o! Passing through the Awen portal… Where none dare go who be mere mortal Rooted runes beset the way Earth’s green gifts rule the Day Now Frolic & dance Make sweet romance Welcome Spring in, With Praise as Life renews again #poetry #writing

We made a class war reading list for you.
