And to your comments of butt joke? I love the concept of an otherwise normal image with a clearly glass butt, however have no idea how that would be accomplished lol

I'm a dental trauma carrier. It's brutal and embarrassing on top of the dentist's office adjust being just about the worst medical experience we've got.

CTV Saskatoon recently did a great feature on Nicolas, one of our Clubs That Care leaders, and the great work he is doing to provide assistive technology to his community.

Watch: www.ctvnews.ca/saskatoon/ar...

An image from the CTV feature showing Nicolas doing some soldering while working on a device.

Based on your assessment it sounds like the wiser course, assuming rest, diet, and hydration are equally locked in

I don't know how it works with running.

If I lift a lot, I remain conditioned to lift a lot. If I take too long of a break, I become cookie dough

The memory that this invokes:

My junior high teacher handing me a shitty grade on an assignment. When I question him about it, and compare it to the kid who could (literally) barely read at our grade level and got a B on the same assignment.

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

Two-page comic about ADHD, self-doubt, and burnout.

Panels 1+2
A person with short black hair and yellow antennae recalls lifelong struggles with effort and recognition. As a child, they cry while being scolded over homework. Later, they work hard but still fail small details and receive an “F.” When they finally succeed, they can’t enjoy it—holding a medal labeled “2,” they feel it’s luck, not skill.

Panel 3+4
Page 2:
They explain how productivity fluctuates. A blue graph shows steady effort, while a pink line spikes wildly. They say, “For me, it fluctuates more extremely.” Sitting exhausted at a messy desk, they admit, “I only stop when I’m too tired to go on. The word I learned for all this was ‘lazy.’ I never learned a healthy measure or how to trust myself.”

This is so relatable 😅

Hi. Reading this fills my heart and brings tears to my eyes (as an autistic person who was actively denied supports throughout his life) Sending you both so much love.

Media portrayals have been awful.

Parents have a habit of describing the one time they saw a kid melt down line it was a war trench.

Most of them have never interacted with an autistic person that they're aware of. But they are making us the tip of their bigoted spear exactly like trans folks

Yes but he's apparently so difficult to work with because.... (Checks notes)

Apparently he wanted the show to "be good" and they just... Don't

"Just because I follow racists and transphobes, and interact with racists and transphobes, and share the content of racists and transphobes, and openly defend their rights to be racists and transphobes, and ban people who call out racists and transphobes, people think I'm a racist and transphobe 😭"
