HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This was a fun and interesting read that got to the Hacker News frontpage yesterday. anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-...

I'm often positive about the ADHD super powers and lean into the parts that allow me to do things that most people find very difficult. I love hobbies and being curious. But some days I just can't. Beating myself up does not help. It's OK to accept when it's a disability and be kind to yourself.

In order to clear the air and prepare the public to understand any falsehoods in Kennedy's announcement, DPH has put together a review of what research truly tells us about ASD, including why the whole notion of an "autism epidemic" is false.

A must for the owl-lovers out there!

Core memory unlocked 😂

It’s Friday! Coffee time!

1/12 ⚠️ TL;DR: There’s a Legionnaires’ outbreak in Central Harlem, NYC — 67 cases, 3 deaths. If you’re in affected ZIP codes and have flu-like symptoms, get medical help fast. Let's break down what you need to know.🧵👇

This month we celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—a critical commitment towards equity and accessibility for all! As we commemorate #ADA, we must also address adversities that people with disabilities face in their lives.

Yes please !

Who loves Lennon?! 🫶🏻🥳

This is quite an insightful read. Highly recommend taking a minute to understand this perspective in the debate…

Very excited to be attending the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference today, from the @ndhumanities.bsky.social network. Sad I can't be there in person, but their online provision is wonderful, and lots of very cool speakers in the lineup...

Welcome to the Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference's takeover of the Polyphony site, from today until Tuesday next week. Here co-organiser @louisecreechan.bsky.social kicks us off by asking: 'What is critical neurodiversity studies'? thepolyphony.org/2025/06/23/c...

It’s a rainy binge-watching kind of day. Given the state of affairs around here, I just fired up the series Jericho. Figured that was appropriate. 🤢Maybe I’ll pick up some good survival tips or something…y’know, in case they might be needed soon. /s www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/jericho

Jon this is amazing!! So beautiful!!

To you or other alts who’d know, QQ… reaction? Suggestions? [email protected] @altimmi.bsky.social

If you are a fed, and want to test or enhance your critical thinking skills, this is a short, fantastic course! Click on “Apply for Course” & “Request an Account” if you don’t already have one. I am looking for something similar for non-feds. If you’re aware of anything please feel free to share!

Design friends! I'll be chatting with the great folks over at Uxcel about how to get the most out of the UX-product manager relationship, and how to take the lead when it comes to collaborating. Free to join, next Tuesday (24th) at 6pm UK time. See you there 🌈 lu.ma/WebinarBen

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

H*ll yeah.

To all my #AltPride peeps:

Yes we have a lot of flags. No we don’t care that you think it’s too many. No we don’t expect you to learn them all. But in case you’re curious, I’ll just leave this here 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

As a note, I went to look up the ‘Ally Flag’ to use, and found this article: www.cabrimmer.com/post/in-the-... I have to admit that Casey has a point. As an ally, I shouldn’t be creating or using a new flag—I should use the existing community flags, just as I use 🇺🇦 to show my support for Ukraine.

The science doesn’t lie. Gender -affirming care is healthcare. And it works. Period.

This is fantastic! Must read. #inclusion #ux #disability

Apparently the House budget bill *still* includes language aimed at barring federal court enforcement of most contempt findings. I wrote May 9 about how this not only seeks to get Trump agencies off the hook for recent misconduct, but imperils a wide range of vital legal and constitutional rights.

A lot of us are not ok today. If you have a queer service member, vet, or human in your life, maybe go check on them, k? They may eat crayons but @altusmc.altgov.info is absolutely correct here. Queer service members, queer people, are whole ass humans that deserve respect and dignity. Period. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Whhhyyyy does it take so long to make homemade French onion soup?!? But ohhhh soooo good!! Such a late dinner tonight, and yet everyone waited for it! 🤗 mmmmm. Night all! 🦋

We have a new landing page for you. We shipped the first version of the site in 5 days in February and our (lack of) design showed. Thanks to our fantastic product designer, we made the leap into "thoughtfully designed." Take a look ➡️ wethebuilders.org

This 🧵 is diving into Head Start as its currently on the chopping block in the proposed budget. Head Start is an incredible program that is much more involved and influential than people may realize. And if the regime gets its way, this cut would result in generations of harm.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Voting protections unlocked. Keep it rolling. I've got a special message for you from ovaryroll.com: I Stand for freedom of eggspression

Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

Heyyyy! Can you help me share this? Maybe if we get it to people’s eyes someone might be interested? I appreciate the help💜

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Excellent read! Mad props to platform product managers
