At #EmpSkills25, we asked @nancydoylepsych.bsky.social, Founder of @geniuswithin.bsky.social: 💡 'What are the best ways to support neurodivergent people in employment?' Hear what she had to say. ⬇️

Happy Brighton Pride!

Just love a morning swim to start the day. 🥰

I dunno what you do on a Wednesday but I head to the garden fo the next layer of my papier-mache bull for Brighton Pride 🌈💜💜💜

Now that AI summarises answers to questions that we Google, has Google deprioritised the advertising nature of the platform? I'm no longer finding businesses or content creators when I search up something.

Looking forward to @learnworkuk.bsky.social Employment and Skills Convention today Really interested in how we ensure unpaid carers are on the radar in thinking about employment policy but also the opportunities that devolution can bring for local carer services. #EmpSkills25

Panel 1 explores: how can we close the disability employment gap? 🎤 Great to hear from @chris-smyth.bsky.social‬, Gareth Parry @maxuknews.bsky.social‬, Fazilet Hadi MBE @disrightsuk.bsky.social‬, @nancydoylepsych.bsky.social‬‬‬ and Deven Ghelani @policyinpractice.bsky.social‬.‬‬ #EmpSkills25

@learnworkuk.bsky.social Stephen Evans kicks us off with the usual high quality of data analysis I've come to expect. #EmpSkills25

Finished recording the audio for my book.... Learning from Neurodivergent Leaders. Out soon!

Sam Fender? EPIC. #LondonStadium? Fucking shite. Queues for beer like they weren't expecting a rush. Never seen anything as bad.

Ten seconds of trees swaying in the breeze

Had the BEST TIME at the #BeardedTheory festival. Recommend prancing around with lunatic friends discovering awesome new bands like #BadSister #Gallus #Amass and #TwatUnion for some serious wellness.

Diagnosis protocols are set up to identify neurodivergence with trauma. We keep mistaking ND for trauma is because so many ND people are traumatised. Schools, sensory overwhelm, "stop *being* so sensitive". So many of my friends raising untraumatised ND kids right now. It's game-changing.

My husband's new speakers are so good the bass makes the mirrors in the hallway vibrate. I love it

Been tucked up with my doggo in my van, writing. Getting away really gets me over any procrastination humps. Distractions become manageable, the open air clears my head and I can think better. Long walks. Early nights. Blissful.

People who have been in the Navy. What are things writers get wrong while writing folks in the Navy. What are the in jokes and slang and culture within the Navy?

Read @sbkaufman.bsky.social’s Transcend. Learned lots: Maslow’s pyramid was likely created by a management consultant in the 1960s, and Harlow advised Maslow’s PhD captive monkey dominance behavior. Nice overview of Maslow’s arc and current, related research. New image instead of pyramid:

So I've eaten and exercised consistently well for 2 weeks, can anyone explain why I don't look 35 again already????

I have chosen no longer to make myself emotionally available to people who do not trust me.

Great report from my long time peers Susan Scott Parker, Microlink and Purple Space written up for @forbes.com www.linkedin.com/posts/nancy-...

Loved this podcast

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

There is a small corner of hell for the numpties who designed hotel rooms where the hairdryer plug is too far away from the mirror. Come the fuck on. You know that no women were involved in the design. Chips away at my patience. Grrrrrrrrr.

Flipping genius plan to go to the rage room!

Love this article. Thanks Jon!

Alan and I have *gone to bed at a reasonable hour* at the annual Division of Occupational Psychology Conference. This is not normal. Repeat, not normal.

Guess whose book sold out its first print run last week? 🤣 of course, the print run was only 1000, and my royalties are rather modest, so we won't be getting on the fancy boats or anything.... but... #neurodivergent #NeurodivergentLeaders #neurodiversity #bookgoals

I stand with Zelenskyy and Ukrainians, now and always 💙💛 Hope there's a flood of donations today! (ALT: The account I quotepost posted an image of a Ukrainian flag.) #SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine #FuckTrump

Happening now: in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, students at Sullivan High School are walking out this afternoon in protest of ICE and Trump's deportation regime.

Britain’s net zero economy is booming, CBI says

I’m making my own list of text abbreviations (or initialisms) for more middle-aged, British people, like me. This is what I have so far. Hopefully they’ll catch on. Let me know what you’d add.

Massively helpful post here for #psychologists

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

‘We debate, we giggle and we share our human experience…’ @nancydoylepsych.bsky.social and Prof Almuth McDowall on their collaboration and the themes of Nancy's new book, ‘Learning From Neurodivergent Leaders’. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist... Love this, and would like to hear about other collabs!

Aha! So pleased to see this awesome content migrating to Blue Sky. Welcome, Dr Lewis!

Loving this article - leaders supporting leaders, just like my *New Book* Learning from Neurodivergent Leaders.....

@theguardian.com genuine question, is there a reason why you're not reporting protests against fascism in US and Germany that I am seeing on socials. Are they fake? Just as a subscriber I would like encouragement as well as shock horror....

Trying to get my sleep schedule back after a vacation and the husband rocks up with some leftover Bailey's from Christmas and the news that #Yellowjackets season 3 is released. I have zero resistance!

When you are prevented from playing to your strengths & measured against people with a totally different skill set it can take a serious toll. This is a common experience for #Neurodivergent people. #Neurodiversity #DEI #HR #SocialJustice #Inclusion

Alright here I am. Ready to quit Insta, Facecock and not really have got started on Tiktwat. So, how does it all work?

Pre-order our book on #Neurodiversity coaching - insights gathered over decades of coaching, being coached and researching coaching psychology... Our hearts went into this!

When I see this I am reminded of when my kids had threadworms and we had to do two weeks of laundry and take vile medicine. No active parent was consulted on this branding. #Fail
