My adulthood is becoming more of an inescapable cycle of deciding what I will not do out of all the things I do want to do. The more useful stuff I manage to do, the longer the wishlist becomes! Heartbreaking but such is life. Sorry, friends. πŸ˜”

#AskingAutistics Does anyone here know of free resources/tools on #AuDHD spoon pacing systems like this? I'm asking for me because well.. spoon management is hard on a tight budget while living in a draining society.. 🫠 neurodivergentinsights.com/blog/the-neu...

It's interesting how all the people who complain about how disabilities or illnesses have become identities seem fine with people identifying as well, healthy, or normal. I think if anything there is a much larger identity politics of this latter sort.

So EXCITED to announce our (free!) conference, Critical Neurodiversity Studies: Directions/Intersections/Contradictions in Durham in 24-26 June (fully hybrid). Focusing on the idea of a 'critical' ND studies via arts/humanities/social science approaches. Absolutely buzzing.

Just an episode or two of Bob's Burgers then will dry my laundry.. πŸ™ƒ

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true 1/

At this point in my healing process, I think I'm finally learning to not take those who think I'm inferior seriously.

I'm still hoping that one day, my jokes won't be too obscure anymore? πŸ™ƒ
