And they complain about immigrants who don't look like them (and their descendants).

The descendants of illegal immigrants who built a nation on stolen land are complaining about illegal immigration.

You really can’t make this up.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Chris Rufo gets covers for talking about how he wanted to financially decimate Black women

And the same magazine didn’t even do an interview when I pointed out how academia was treating Black women and online. Research aided him

The white experts still only talk to white people

Would you believe our President, Eileen Bosch, has done an interview with us, but hasn't done a member highlight?

Until now. 😉

You can get to know Eileen through this member highlight. Now live on our website! www.apalaweb.org/member-highl...

a person with short black hair and a confident expression, standing against a plain light background. They are wearing a short-sleeved black top with a white leaf pattern. The person accessorizes with vibrant orange earrings and a matching chunky necklace composed of large orange beads. Their arms are crossed, displaying several bracelets on the wrist, including one with multi-colored round beads. The overall composition conveys a sense of calm assurance and style.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Time for another round of “I can’t believe the Pope is Catholic”! Which American pundit—who converted to Catholicism as an adult, but in their bones remains an intellectually-embarrassed evangelical Protestant with a Yale BA—will gift us an outraged First Things or (dv) Atlantic essay this time?

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

There are levels of corruption. Mild to moderate to severe. But ours in the Philippines is on a level of its own. As my generation used to say, it’s “ALIEN”!

The penguin pendant was a birthday present from someone else. Also love it because...penguins.

A person's hand holds a circular badge onto a dark blue garment. The badge has a purple background with handwritten text that says "#1 mom" in black. The person's fingernails are painted with sparkly purple nail polish. A silver chain necklace with an abstract penguin pendant is visible around the neck. The corner of a floral-patterned garment is also partially visible.

I really liked this article on Kapwa I found a while back. Good intro, I think, for people (like me!) who had not previously encountered it.

journal article. Kapwa, a word that is cited to have been first explored in academic liteature in 1978 by Virgilio G. Enriquez.

I also had layers of trauma to deal with and have been near burnout multiple times.

Not just stress. A lot of layers to my onion to unpeel.

Being correctly diagnosed helped me fully tackle the rest.

Just my story. I experienced a lot of the below, too. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. #ADHD

Text

It's Not an Excuse

Even when we do open up about our ADHD, and try to explain the symptoms that have defined us for too long, many people are incredulous. They don't believe that ADHD exists in adults. Or they think we're making excuses. Or they say we're too successful to have ADHD.

None of these reactions is helpful.

"ADHD is not an excuse; it is an explanation - a totally physiological explanation," Dr. Littman says. "The smarter you are and the better you compensate, the more people will doubt you. The harder you struggle to cope, staying up late at night to pull things together, the more people will doubt your ADHD. They don't see that the cost of your success is terrible depression, anxiety, and burnout."

"Accent mirroring, also known as accent adaptation or phonetic convergence, is the tendency to unconsciously adopt the accent or speech patterns of those around us. This linguistic chameleon effect is not unique to individuals with #ADHD, but it appears to be more pronounced and frequent..."

There's a reason why some people can perfectly copy accents, and others can't

Turns out, there's a neurodivergent link.
