Shout out to Gen X women who have been surviving a pandemic and a crazy ex-president while going thru peri-menopause. I see you not sleeping for the last 6 years. 🍷
Moms here to tell you that there will inevitably be those who choose to misunderstand, mischaracterize, assume the worst in you. That is a reflection on them, not you.
Your heart is your own. And those who truly see you know your profound beauty. So do we.♥️
It’s not EVERYTHING you need, but if you can stabilize the way you eat, how you clean, and arrive on time more frequently, it can give you some REAL relief in a way that will quickly make a difference. If you need more info, here’s some more basics:
And lastly, for those of us who DO struggle with time, we need a way to combat the way we work with our time.
We can get places on time more often when we understand how to support ourselves through not being able to perceive time:

How perfectly said! This has been a big issue for me and my self confidence, and why I become reclusive.

One of the things @RAforAll and I tell librarians ALL the time is to STOP promoting books everyone already knows about. You have, roughly, a zillion books in your library and you're wasting time promoting the most popular ones? What? Why? Stop.
Take a class. Learn a foreign language. Learn the names of the trees and birds. Teach yourself cooking. Explore older films. We have access to more knowledge than anyone before us and the world is a feast for the curious and fascinated.
Being ADHD is enthusiastically starting a project, focusing on details and doing it right. Then running into unexpected barriers, growing impatient and rushing the last steps so you can see the steady decline in quality until you abandon it altogether
Not only do librarians NOT read on the job (we have far to much to keep up with for that), the emotional labor of the job usually affects our energy in a way that prevents us from reading as much as we'd like at home.
One lesson of working in a public library is that the fastest growing population in America today is people who have something in their phone that they need to release into the physical world.
Friends! This made Dad laugh this morning. The Little One had the Hairdryer on, and suddenly Dad realised that Baby Dog was hiding, just in case it was turned on him. He hates the Hairdryer. Silly Boy! 😹#dogsoftwitter#BabyDog#wednesdaythought#dogs
A recent letter to the Legislative Audit Commission calls out recent actions from the Board of Regents and President Gabel, specifically pointing out possible issues with Gabel’s contract and the UMD chancellor search.
you will save yourself so much trauma by giving up trying to win the approval of normies who don't like you and embracing the weirdos who already love you
Just a little reminder:
your neurodivergent friends love when you communicate that we have hurt your feelings, or said something wrong, because 9 times out of 10, we won’t realize unless you do.
Your ND friends are on your side, just talk to us.
Humans did this to me. Not trout, nor eagle, nor moose, but humans.
Without environmental protections humans will do this again. Remember, you need me to live, not the other way around.
Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday
Live today.
Not yesterday.
Not tomorrow.
Just today.
Inhabit your moments.
Don't rent them out to tomorrow.

Interestingly women are and have always been told that our rights and needs come after men’s. In every liberation or activist movement. Even in movements about us. Told that there is always a greater struggle we women need to focus on. And where had that left us?
