For any folks who don't know of me already that may stop by, I am neurodivergent af (autism + ADHD), so my manner of speaking and responding may be different than what you are used to. Just know that I have a big big heart and a big big potty mouth. Rarely if ever do I mean any harm. Thanks.

A profound concept from “Joy is My Justice” by Tanmeet Sethi — when faced with a personal hardship or loss (an inevitable part of all of our lives) instead of asking “Why Me?” try asking “Why Not Me?” to open up new possibilities for your future

THIS
Once emotional safety became a bare minimum for me, it threw me right into solitude. Most people aren’t emotionally safe. Most people are in survival mode and unfortunately, they don’t have the capacity to be a safe space for anyone because they’re not a true safe space for themselves.

Plus, less money in the pockets of billionaires, so it feels good too! Stick it to the man this Christmas, shop small businesses
If you are able, please consider only shopping at local businesses today, this holiday season, and beyond.

Shopping local creates an additive, multiplier economic effect, rather than the extractive effect that occurs when we send our money to monopolistic companies like Walmart or Amazon. 1/2

Tricked by a poem. For fuck's sake, stop calling it AI. Trillions of $$, ALL the venture capital funding that is available going to it, just to create a shiny turd that can't stand up against a fucking POEM.

I’d be so grateful if you’d listen and share!
Dropping this one early so you can listen on your travels! I weave William Blake into my embarrassing chocolate milk story, read food writing from non-food writers, & play music by D'Angelo, the Clash, Portishead, Beastie Boys, Van Halen + more. Free/Ad-free/No Ai

Living with highly internalized autism is unrelenting daily microtraumas that trigger intense anxiety, overwhelming internal meltdowns, and feeling like you're one anxiety attack away from completely falling apart, all while everyone around you thinks you're "doing great"

This is pretty fuckin cool
Scientists just ‘supercharged’ vinegar with nanoparticles — and in mice it wiped out 99.995% of MRSA in lab tests. 1 topical dose. 24 hours. No damage to healthy cells.
