it is also nice bc i work in sexual violence prevention and crisis care and it is a field i have been involved in since i was a teenager so i know A Lot About The Work but in an autistic way where im pulling together threads of info thru time in a way i dont get to do often and love to do ok thank u

reading 150 pages of application information in bed with my legs kicking in the air because i’m a sicko who loves the kind of writing that is now just AI (breaking down immense amounts of data and information into accessible, actionable steps and processes)

i’m working on my first state/federal grant where i’m the only grant writer and i’m fuckin giddy reading through all of the different datasets i get to pull and present and i am furious i don’t have rich parents bc i would love an advanced degree are you kidding me

my favorite genre of story as a kid was anything where the protagonist finds out that they are actually adopted. like any time my mom got a phone call that sounded like a big deal, i prayed it was the hospital or something saying i was switched by accident. i didnt dream of much else in the “future“

also to be clear, she will have money to cover rent. if you want to give her money to help with that, also let me know.

also looking for trans friendly part time work. ideally with some flexibility. she has been thru a lot and it can take time to find yourself after scary shit. anyway uhhhh plz lmk. thank you!

hi if you live in chicago or know someone who does and they’re looking for a roommate, plz let me know! one of my dear friends is a trans woman in her early 20s and she needs safe, longterm emergency housing. if she can move in within a week, amazing. dm me.

so i experience chronic guarding of my abdomen and i thought it was just like “tightness” and just learned it is literally the body trying to protect me from pain.
i feel like my parents were like “what kind of fucked up lil guy can we make by inflicting physical and emotional pain at random?” me!

been absolutely maxed out so i've been allowing myself to do the things i feel are "very rude" to accommodate myself. so i'm rocking and wearing sunglasses and my n95 in a staff meeting

anyway this has been “being nice to lil me” posting. what a freak

i wrote an essay at like 13 about how i ran into andy rooney in an elevator and he was really mean to me and it hurt my feelings. which …. i was missing some critical understanding there. but he was very very annoyed.

i also really loved 60 minutes primarily because of the clock noise and i would be like DAD CAN WE WATCH 60 MINUTES but i would try to be chill about it because i wanted my dad to like me but i was also a child so i was like 🙂‍↔️😤🙂‍↔️😤🙂‍↔️😤😡😡😡

i love to be a 7 year old girl who is fixated on “movie so long and so popular.”

pretty neurotypical childhood, just had a whole era where i repeatedly asked my dad about the showing of the titanic movie. (how does someone go to the movie and also pee? how do you show a movie that long? why is it so long? how does a movie that long get into the cassette?)

scout is sitting next to me on the couch for the first time in a week and i'm pretty much crying i love her

a giant hawk was cawing and eating a bat in front of me and william while i screamed and nothing bad has happened since.

the balloon museum is my enemy what do you mean they extended through early september GET OUTTA HERE i hate you

we love jessica!!!!!!!

if we’ve been mutuals for a while, you probably have an idea as to how huge this is. i am feeling all of that. i am a proud big sister!!!! (i will always be her sister no matter what my pronouns are, it just feels right)

she’s been a cna for a few years. she is the embodiment of doing hard things and being a big angel while doing them. i love her. please send her good thoughts bc there is a small possibility she doesn’t get in but i very much doubt it 💕

cool nurses of bluesky, my sweet baby sister is probably getting into nursing school today which … i cannot express how proud i am. what are things you needed that i could gift her? i might get scrubs but need brand recs.

(not AI, irl divine being)

scout the cat being swaddled like a baby in a brown towel so she can get her medicine. her eyes are big and her face is 😐

trump is trying to erase truth from christianity. never forget, this is the actual christ child.

i can’t stop randomly crying about scout even tho she’s home and mostly ok aside from leaking poop constantly. i mostly just want her to be able to leave the bathroom i miss her

i also feel like nonprofits talk about "burnout" all the time but don't really have an understanding of autistic burnout and also consistently push back against any accommodations i might ask for.

i'm also poor and i have journalism degree from a state university so p much everything i've been able to get into, i weaseled my way in the back door. it is also means i have 50k+ in debt that i have been stuck to since my mid 20s that severely limits any money i can spend on accomodations.

if you have autism/adhd and have been able to find work that doesn't radically exacerbate burnout, what is it? i feel like my career has been dictated by my co-occurring cptsd/ocd and i am so fucking tired

relationship xgames mode, it was a nice weekend, we love scout and her stinky butt

i met my gf‘s parents for the first time (we’ve been dating since 2018) during the same weekend we were both off and on weeping bc scout the cat has been sick and also really really stinky and has a med schedule that requires us to get up at 5:30 am.

scout is my first cat and really my first secure attachment and we rely on each other for so much and this is scary stuff and i’m glad she is ok and also jfc.
