A good article about understanding yourself a little better than you did the day before. Also a reminder that autistic people were always there, it's just that many of us - including many autistic folks - didn't have a vocabulary or medical knowledge to describe it. observer.co.uk/news/first-p...

Imagine thinking that, in the year of our lord 2025, one of the biggest issues American teachers face is checks notes having too much autonomy? It’s bad enough we are fighting to protect the literal existence of public ed, now we have to battle the re-animated corpse of 2010-era ed-reform too?

Texas has lost a true climate leader. As Houston’s mayor, Sylvester Turner championed bold climate action in a city at the heart of the oil & gas industry and on the frontlines of climate risk. I was honoured to contribute to Houston’s Climate Action & Resilience Plans under his leadership.
