[dusts off profile after an eon] hello hello sometimes I bake things. Mostly I’m stress baking things 😅

Btw never believe that a company values you; they value your output. I know this seems obvious, but I had managers at a company telling me over and over that I was valuable for years, and then I had a mental health crisis, and suddenly I was a Liability™ and they didn't want me.

I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this

Red states are not ALL red.
Those of us making them purple are dealing with the same garbage policies and shit attitudes.
And no, we don't always have the ability to "just move".

I can’t be the only one who feels like he doesn’t feel shameful about this at all, right? Like. His expression gives me the “I just have to serve six months and then I’m out to do it all over again” vibe and I greatly dislike that.

Not allowing remote work means you won't get the best candidate and I will stand on that.

(Because it was never about hiring the best candidates, it's about monitoring staff because workers are just numbers to corporations.)

Being an international/transracial adoptee. But yeah. I don’t really have a definitive point for this. More just to get the thoughts out of my brain (3/3)

Good relationship with my adoptive parents. And over the years they’ve gotten better about being able to hold space for my adoption related anger and grief. And they’ve slowly accepted that they can love life with me in it while also acknowledging the problematic circumstances of (2/?)

Today’s gotcha day (I’m aware that fellow adoptees hate that term but I’m more indifferent to it). I always have such mixed emotions about today though not nearly as much as I do on my birthday. My parents usually get me a small gift which is touching. I’m fortunate enough to have a (1/?)

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Guess it's time to plug the Kofi again. Any bit helps as I'm actively going to be homeless in less than a month and I have to try and save what little I can ko-fi.com/neurotenical

This guy got fired from his sports reporting job for THIS post. This is easily, easily the most censorious period in my life. You can get sent to detention camps by the government for writing an op-ed or fired from your job for THIS type of post.

Part of me wants to try and find my bio mom. But I’m honestly so afraid, especially as an openly queer person. SK hasn’t been known for uh. Progressive values 🫠🙃

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.

The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.

Was scrolling through this thread to see if anyone else mentioned this site. I’ve also had positive experiences using their service and getting swatches 😊

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

Once you decide one group can go under the bus, you've decided all of the groups can go under the bus.

At that point you're just negotiating preferred order.

They aren't overlooking it.

They just don't care and don't expect their audience to think about it or care, either.

JD Vance’s relative, 12, refused heart transplant over vaccine status Adaline Deal’s mom says she decided her daughter wouldn’t need a Covid-19 and flu jab because ‘the Holy Spirit put it on our hearts’

she is an intercountry #adoptee from China; she has two heart conditions and she requires a transplant; her hospital will not approve the transplant until her adopters agree to her receiving flu and COVID vaccines, which they adamantly refuse to do.

She is in heart failure.

All the people that said we'd be fine owe me $5-$5000 depending on your income.
