Writing is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna write next.
Creative Writing for self-discovery.

This is like the coolest party you’ve ever attended, and the only limits are your interests and imagination…and you can never get trapped listening to your uncle’s old stories, unless you want to!

I can imagine in some years the discussions will include the various "deficiencies of neurotypical types" 😉

"For some, today’s theme may seem a little cheeky.
But have you ever stopped
to ponder the power
of what it is like
to feel your own embrace?"
Hey, so, I'm going to stop posting these each day. If you're doing them daily, you probably don't need me to remind you. If you want to start head to the playlist!

# of COVID deaths per year in Canada:
2020: 15,307
2021: 14,606
2022: 19,035
Let's get one thing straight: 2022 wasn't the year that we “learned to live with COVID.” It was the year we were told to ignore COVID while it continued to cause mass suffering, disability, and death.
Valid todo-list for #creative #neurodiverse #adhd #autistic #neurotypical folks
Happy New Year!

Something like Birkenstocks for your feet at home?
epic description of socks! I'm blown away 😍
Because they're popular politicians, lawmakers, and celebrities. It astounds me that we've collectively let this slide.
@pixplz @novid Not only do they need masks, each room needs a #CorsiRosenthalBox If your child’s class doesn’t have one, consider getting other parents involved to get the school to do it or the teacher to do it as a class project or make & donate one yourself or as part of a group. The supplies can currently be purchased from Amazon for under $100. #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #Health If a class can have a class turtle or class #cat they can have a class Corsi
Mental health workers need downtime too; space to disconnect from the constant expectations of others as the mediator or “go to listener,” dedicated time to process the needs and stress of their own lives and opportunity to engage in conversations where they are also being heard.

#Mastodon, or life without an #algorithm, demonstrates that most people are decent most of the time. This makes all the difference in the world.
Hellooo Mastodon!!!👋
I hope that today you have a moment to give a little Holiday cheer to a stranger.
If you are surrounded by friends and loved ones today, take a moment to tell each person individually how much you appreciate them.
We all go thru life hoping that people see good in us, and that who we are makes a difference in others lives.
What better holiday gift then to give reassurance that their life is valued and that who they are makes a difference?
Now go spread some joy!
#fediblock : Activitypub-proxy[.cf]
Someone has apparently written open-source malware to circumvent fediblocks by "woke" instance admins (I kid you not -- they're unironically using that term).
The only domain we currently know of providing this service is activitypub-proxy.cf, but I'd expect more to pop up.
We may need a tool to periodically scan federated domains for heavy subdomain usage that could be this software in use.
Anyway, thought everyone should know.
-- your woke administrator (well... partly woke... I haven't had my morning caffeine yet)
Between last preperations
and the festivitity itself
I think of the Good in the World
and wish you and your loved ones
a nourishing share of the Good in the World.
Never ever lose your confidence in it!
Merrry X-mas!

Busy City Maze

Tired of walking in busy city maze
with nowhere to go and no one to meet,
I lie down on the soft meridian grass
that shimmers in the middle of the street
between streams of cars speeding toward success
so I can feel the heartbeat of the Earth.

The Tedium of the Work Christmas Party: Why Enforced Fun… Isn’t

I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who enjoys the 'traditional' work Christmas party, so I tried to get to the bottom of why that is.
For science!
ByteDance used TikTok to track my location — and the locations of two of my colleagues — to try to find our sources. We reported on this back in October, but kept things vague to protect sources. Today ByteDance admitted it, so we can say much more:
