Being an American abroad is weirder than it's ever been right now. On one hand I'm foregoing that aspect of my identity more and more in order to let myself just be Scottish, but then I watch a show like #Mo (on NFlix) and I desperately miss how close I felt to other cultures living in the States.

Working really is a lot of just: I sent the e-mail! Task complete. ✅ They sent one back! Now I'm not done anymore. 😢

For the UK-based universities that REQUIRE even just a shitty pic of a coffee-stained, creased diploma despite having been provided official/electronic transcripts that demonstrate I graduated, do you also want me to fax that over to you as well, or does that need to be a telegram?

I think one of my more 'telling' #neurodivergent traits is that, now that I'm approaching my 40s, I feel like I have permission to be into the shit that I was into as a kid - because, at this point, there's clearly an established pattern which makes it 'OK' to enjoy things, somehow??

Watching "High Potential" (Kaitlin Olson), E1S4 ("Survival Mode") & I HAVE to have to know who on staff is a home-edding, self-sustainability 'prepper' because they nailed it 😂 Loved the Akosua Shirley quote about preparing for crises. Was not expecting to see this community well represented yet.

I feel like in some ways, people with #ADHD are better prepared for upcoming supply shortages, etc. because we often forget to order things like medicine and groceries anyway and therefore have lots more experience being miserable #DisabledPrepping

When I was a baby on the internets I would basically just go OFF - constantly, to whoever, whenever. It was pathological. Now as an adult w/ decades of experience I can just disassociate while I'm writing a response, and when I return to my body I've somehow written something coherent & reasonable.

Sometimes I feel dumb for how much I have to look up when I write in French and then I find myself doing things like searching whether 'collaborative' is a noun or a verb (in English) and I feel a bit better about just not being particularly proficient in any language

🚨 NO UK PUBLIC HEALTH MINISTER Public health isn’t optional. Clinically Vulnerable people can’t wait. This role must be filled urgently. Leadership matters. Repost if you agree!

I started writing out a to-do list for all the things that have been haunting me b/c usually when I do that, I can see that things maybe weren't as bad as I thought they were. Only this time I'm more haunted than I was before making the list because it is, in fact, even worse than I thought #ADHD

Sometimes I feel bad for not having memorised enough names, places, events, etc. from school, and then there's a day like today when a stranger asks me to provide them the name of a group I've created and I genuinely cannot remember exactly what it is

I was today years old when I found out that Matt Berry and @jemaineclement.bsky.social were not the same person and I refuse to believe I'm the only one who thought this. It bothers me how confidently I have shared JT trivia with my kids without realising.

SO close to the point, but the @theguardian.com is still doing the "ABC" thing, unfortunately. ( #AnythingButCOVID ) #LongCOVIDKids #COVIDisNotOver

#CrowdsourcingKnowledge #chickens For poultry/waterfowl keepers/researchers who are especially well-educated about #H5N1 / #AvianFlu, is there a resource/place online for sharing pictures/details of our set-up for advice on improving mitigations? (Asking in general bird groups tends to go poorly.)

Had an appointment w/ my youngest today at a combination dental/vaccination clinic. Vaccination receptionist looked over at a baby across the room and literally said to the mum, "You're not here to get that baby jabbed are you??" before going over to coo at the baby. #NHSHighland #Antivax

It finally happened. I accidentally clicked the unsubscribe link in an email newsletter run by an organisation I genuinely wanted to receive updates from, and there's like...no one click option to undo it or re-start it. I can't believe it.

I find as an adult I often read messages I've sent that I had imagined as 'heated' but, upon re-reading, are entirely tame and collected, and there's always a part of me that's a little disappointed.

The cool thing about LinkedIn (for now, anyway...) is that if you are only connecting with other progressives, it's essentially like repurposing the website to be some sort of skills-based directory for mutual aid. It's a strangely friendly place with more expansive discussions, if well-cultivated.

I can't ever leave Facebook. I would lose my most important list of all - my block list. I can contact virtually everyone on my friends list in at least one other way, but if I delete FB, I'll completely lose track of who all the assholes in my city are. That list represents 3 years of hard work.

It's been a bed-heavy few weeks, and to avoid losing my mind, I've been trying to get back into languages. I sign (ASL) and speak #French, both at decent conversational levels (B2) and it's dawning on me just how influential French is for both American English and #ASL.

It's been very weird preparing for both severe weather and an emerging pandemic in the same week. Largely missed by Éowyn, but days after setting up biosecurity measures for the birds, I get a notification that Scotland is going into 'bird lockdown' for #H5N1 / #avianflu.

One weird thing about being COVID-safe and online is trying to decide whether it's more 'honest' to have your profile picture be what you would look like to pretty much anyone else, and what you look like when you're not wearing a mask. #StillMasking #COVIDIsNotOver #MaskUp

My most recent fear is that I will, at some point, inadvertently click the 'Notify Anyway' button at the bottom of the iMessage, disturbing/alarming a contact completely unnecessarily with some stupid ass meme I'm sending them

Good Ventilation protects you from COVID-19 (and flu) infection. This document was first published on the WHO Philippines Facebook account on 21/01/2022. It's one of the clearest and most synthetic we've seen. Thanks to @associationarra.bsky.social for sharing it. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Has anyone had their kids do #VirtualSchool at the School of Humanity (sofhumanity.com) and have thoughts? We've been with several online schools at this point and still looking for something that's a good fit, and while this looks like it could very well be it, I was curious about ND experiences.

Read the thread if you or anyone you care about is disabled or chronically ill. Read it twice if you are in the medical field and need the reminder that patients are people with valid lived experiences, especially when it's been a tough day for you. (You are people too. Hold on. Take another breath)

Our council is opening up funding for community grants. I'd like to create a "Prep Box" for people living in northern Scotland, similar to the Baby Boxes we have. 1st aid, matches, radios, masks, basic survival guides - happy to hear more ideas (esp. from Scots!) before I propose! #DisabledPrepping
