I am pointedly /not/ thriving rn ( `ー´)
Had 2 kidney ultrasounds in the last 2 days, and on top of the right rotator cuff shoulder issue that I'm getting an ultrasound for today, YESTERDAY I gave myself probable ligament in my left (writing) wrist.
Oh and also my right knee needs an MRI next year. 😮‍💨

Never underestimate the value your presence can have on someone else’s life. No matter how short, no matter how small. You matter and can make a difference.

New article out today! This piece explores the animation reference performers who, despite rarely receiving credit, gave body and authenticity to the Disney princesses 👸

I'd love it if you gave it a read, especially if you're invested in Disney Studies 💖

Within seconds, their brains have automatically registered me as being different to them, in some way that sets off alarm bells (to use a phrase). www.nature.com/articles/sre...
They won't be aware of it. It's not in their control, unless they realise that's what's going to happen/

"But I don't need to know how your brain works".
A common comment, when autistic people talk about the need to explain that we're autistic.
Mmm.
Let's explain a bit of everyday life. Thread.
I am invited into a meeting with e.g. 7 people whose brains function in 'typical' ways/
