A certain trash account masquerading as a holistic psychologist is saying that neudodivergent people are valuable because of our "superpowers" and. No. We are valuable because we are humans.

Every Elon guy is like, "Wokes are the real elites. Blue collar workers never make fun of their boss or quit their job. Crawling on the ceiling is the easiest way to move from one room to the next. Moulting and leaving a 6-foot husk in the break room is a key part of management"

I love the reaction of cat lovers upon seeing a cat. Every single time the level of excitement is like they've read about cats for decades but never actually seen one in real life and they're SO EXCITED. Every. Single Time. Even if it's the hundredth cat they've seen that day.

I dreamt an intricate dream this morning; I was someone very similar to me (though not me), who returned to their crumbling seaside town of origin after decades away to help the town bookstore modernise their business operations

Last night the Windhoek City Council voted, in a 9:5 vote, to remove the statue of German colonial officer Curt von François, which has been standing outside the Windhoek municipality since 1965.
Here a few notes on the background of this significant decision. More soon.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

It isn’t that girls do not want to lead, they know that they are not seen as leaders, they will face discrimination & bias, the traditional style of leadership imposes a double-bind on them where they have to be aggressive but also not ‘too much’. I am v angry about this headline

The UK government's ruthless and reckless policies that "go for growth” require us all to ask the essential questions that Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - set out decades ago. So join me in answering these questions... 1/n

Some takeaways for folks newer to UX and design:
• None of us here truly know what we’re doing (we’re just trying to figure out how to solve real problems for real people)
• Just because someone has more years on you, it doesn’t mean your thoughts and opinion don’t matter

A REMINDER!
We need diverse representation not *only* so every kid can see themselves as the hero of the story, but also so that every kid can understand that *other* kinds of kids are *also* the heroes of the story.

The two types of neurodivergent communication:
1) All jargon, no context ("the proton-inverted flux capacitor")
2) All context, no useable words ("you know, that video with those guys, they were British and it was sunny, I think it was in dover or something...")

Twitter, where do I find voice actors for small paid jobs who have real accents? I need voice actors with Caribbean, West African, Indian or Pakistani, and Chinese accents and the auditions I am getting are white people who YouTubed their way into sounding “Jamaican.” Any help?
