Festive Battery Advice - Plan ahead - Try to spread your tasks across a longer time and plan breaks. Remember to stay hydrated. Prioritise - Don’t feel pressured into putting other people’s wants or societal expectations above your needs. You decide what is necessary or desirable for you to engage with the festivities. Pace Yourself - Sit when you can, take breaks, stay hydrated. Set extra reminders for medication & pain management.

The festive period, any celebratory period, should be something you come away from feeling empowered and enriched. While fatigue is inevitable, prioritising yourself so you come away as fulfilled as you are tired isn’t selfishness. You deserve this. Image description: The Grove of Aletheia logo of a partial eclipse and our motto of “accessible Paganism from the ground up” over a gradient of dark blue to green. The above transcript is in a very light green.

This festive period, consider your needs and take the time to remember that you deserve to prioritise your own happiness over societal expectations and family pressure.

Remember this festive season that in every Christmas film Trump and his ilk are the bad guys.

The media didn’t just get ‘woke’. They’ve been telling you to be kind to each other, take care of the needy, and show compassion to those you don’t understand for decades, since the inception of cinema.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

This #InternationalMensDay we’re celebrating some of the male-presenting deities and mythological characters who can be interpreted as disabled or neurodivergent.

I very much enjoyed this launch, with @thendbee.bsky.social talking about the chapter we wrote together (about neurodivergent students, focusing on undergrads) and @brianirvine.bsky.social enthusing delightfully about the whole book.

Also several other speakers. They're all good! 😊

Neurodiversity in Higher Education: Reflections from Lived Experience YouTube video by Neurodivergent Education Books

I just realised that the video I recorded with @thendbee.bsky.social, about our chapter on neurodiversity in higher education, is on YouTube.

In @thendbee.bsky.social & my chapter on the lived experiences of neurodivergent undergrads, we barely touched on monotropism.

I think reading it in conjunction with Carl's would really deepen someone's understanding of both, though - a neat example of the book's coherency!

I'm really appreciating the feeling of things finally coming to fruition, after about a year and a half of collaborating on chapters and animations.

Here are some events that I'm looking forward to:

Which one? Both? Lol

Does the ND Student Network count? I’m running it by myself at the moment (would love some volunteers, I won’t be a student forever and need someone to take over eventually. Lol). And do faith support groups count?

Agreed. Even in basic undergrad study we’re shown just how much of society is restricted by concepts that aren’t defined in academia. From the concept of intelligence and the, frankly idiotic, IQ cult to the whole weight-health debate and BMI!

Wish I hadn’t now. That’s a whole lot of ignorance and idiocy, right there.

Since when has a concept had to be useful (or even work) for it to be implemented into society? There are countless terms that have never been definitively defined by science or academia that are used to create infrastructures that you all use probably on a daily basis. Such as intelligence, IQ, BMI

I shall because I’m nosy!

Booooo! I can’t see it because it says “blocked”… Does that mean I’ve been blocked by a random person? Or that I’ve pissed this guy off before? 🤣😂

Celebrating Light on Your Terms The Summer Solstice is often celebrated with bonfires, sun-watching, and group rituals. But if your body or brain says no to heat, crowds, or sensory overwhelm, you’re not alone. Here are a few hop…

In the 1400s England decided that twelve year old girls could be engaged but they couldn’t be married because it was too dangerous for them to get pregnant. Some of them got around it and still married their girls off but they couldn’t have sex.

In the 1400s. Something to think about.
