@RaethegreatSW I feel the pressure of a standard of "professionalism" that is the presentation of a sanitized version of ourselves.
I think about the distance it can cause and am trying to balance the goal of authentic connection with he need for reasonable boundaries.
English
@mxlanefox Lane you hit the nail on the head. As someone who was recently diagnosed with a condition I see the importance in relating to hope that is possible
English
I think about self-disclosure a lot. How much do we share about our struggles w/our clients and the world?
The ONLY effective therapist I've had is one who self-disclosed their ADD diagnosis and was open about how medication helped them.
They recognized my struggle w/o stigma.

@emozelym @AutSciPerson Out of curiosity, what was your thesis on, and when did you complete it?
English
@AutSciPerson Knowing this term would have made my thesis so much easier. Thanks for educating me :)
English
I think a lot of things autistic people are told to learn as "social skills" or "life skills" essentially boils down to this:
Why can't you accommodate non-autistic people on demand?

it's so weird to me that joe biden is literally the guy who wrote the law that made testosterone a controlled substance

I'm hopeful that the concept of balance and safety is inclusive of mobility needs, and also demands the recognition of systematic issues that are making things harder for marginalized people. BUT I know I am missing important things, so PLEASE HAAALP. 😬 What am I ignoring? 3/3
English
We're best able to find our balance when we have the supports, safety, & practice needed to adjust for changing circumstances or chaos. For instance, if you're on a path, and need to bypass an obstacle or a windstorm kicks up, you know you'll need to adjust the way you move. 2/

@BlueTamarin2 @girldrawsghosts because they (the designs) are AMAZING and THEY (the theives) are trash.
English
Same goes for ableism, heterosexism, classism, misandry, mysogyny, transphobia, ethnocentrism...
If you don't think an issue affects you, QUIETLY listen to the people that it does. Then, when you hear someone in your life making problematic comments, LOUDLY shut it down.
English
Speaking up can feel like you are self-sabatoging your career or grade. Do it anyway.
Think about what you will say when (not if) you're in this situation, then practice (in a mirror, w/a friend) pointing out racism, microagressions, and bigotry.
Choose challenge over comfort.

Stop texting or calling your colleagues during or after the meeting but keeping quiet during the meeting!

@RaethegreatSW Effective mentorship to get on the career track I want. It has been repeatedly suggested that I "connect with another student" who is also researching the path

Calling ALL my social work students (BSW & MSW). What is one thing you believe your program is missing? #socialworkstudents #BSW #MSW # share #SocialWorkTwitter

@KSoldusty @commaficionado loc.gov/everyday-myste…
Ok, turns out that the "2nd full moon in a month" definition is relatively recent. IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO DO A SUMMONING. It just has to happen on the 3rd of 4 full moons of a season. And now this is something everyone in my life will know.
English
@KSoldusty @commaficionado I know this isn't the point, but blue moons are the second full moon of the month, making it incompatible w/the first Sunday of a month, and now I am laughing at how hard this statement is making my brain glitch. *throws fit* I wanted to do a summoning! 🤣 (goes to do research)

@the_tweedy @OctoQueenPhD Thanks for the suggestion to add to my "awesome strangers to follow" list.
English
That goddamn hero/genius was @OctoQueenPhD who added the caveat "K with caveat that it is possible to study just caregiving if you attend to how it does violence if/when violence is part of the care" and whose MA was on violence in well-intended caregiving.
English
Today a friend drew a distinction between academics who study care and academics who study caregiving -- and lemme tell you: the ableism perpetrated by some self-proclaimed feminist scholars suddenly makes a lot more sense.
English
@resolutemaybe For me, I look at my kids and hope they will have an easier time...but if I don't have the skills (like housekeeping), I feel totally lost when I try to teach them.
English
@resolutemaybe @roryreckons When you say, "she will be like me" what do you mean by that? Have you talked to her about the struggles and coping mechanisms you have (they might help her)? What skills/work -arounds do you wish you had had when you were her age? Are there ways she can help you with your tasks?
English
Those with power and privilege are more likely to live longer.
This makes sense.
Why would people fight to dismantle the systems that support their longevity?
Note: One of the many benefits of supporting marginalized populations is more elders fighting for social justice.

Or have you ever thought that leaving neurodivergent women undiagnosed for much for their lives, women who have disorders that make us extremely vulnerable to emotional trauma and abuse but are entirely unsupported, might explain why almost all of us (90%) exp sexual trauma?
Dr. Jessica Taylor@DrJessTaylor
I think everyone needs to be paying attention to the amount of women who have been subjected to abuse and trauma suddenly being told they have ADHD and autism. This is the next wave of pathologisation after BPD and EUPD, mark my words.
