It’s good to be able to respond to yourself with compassion. Even when things go wrong, even when you make poor choices, even when it all goes kablooey.
If I’m not able to do everything, and have energy left over and have a smile on my face the whole time, it does not mean that I’m a broken human being, it does not mean that I’m not good enough.
If you've managed to survive all these years in hurtful systems, what does that mean about how strong you are?
If you're that strong, what else could you use your strength for? Could you make more radical changes?
Happy Unveiling Day! On June 25, 2015, the Baphomet statue was unveiled, symbolizing the importance of religious equality and freedom of expression. This monumental bronze statue reminds us that everyone deserves a voice, regardless of their beliefs. Let’s celebrate diversity and promote acceptance in our communities!

Sometimes there’s a gap between the things that we want to do and the things that we have the capacity to do, and sometimes there’s no way to bridge that gap, but instead it needs to be grieved.
I had such a supportive mom! When I came out to her (two occasions -- when I told her that I was a boy and a girl, and when I told her that l liked both boys and girls), she was like, "That's who you are!" and then would put on another Bowie record. I know not everyone has had supportive parents, but even just having one that accepted me as who I am made all the difference in my life. It didn't stop the bullying, but it gave me the confidence to be myself -- and that was HUGE!
There’s a lot of cultural messaging that says part time work isn’t good enough. And a lot of it really comes down to a narrow focus on productivity, as the only measure for personal worth.
That framework is destructive, inhumane, and inaccurate.
recognizing my presence and my acceptance is a constant that I can provide myself throughout the highs and the low of life. I'm starting to feel it. I'm starting to give 'em due props.
This is balance and makes unicycling feel easy. Just because we're reaching out and holding on does not mean we aren't steadying, or that our supports get all of the credit.
Autism is an illegible feature
"How disabling it is depends as much on your social circumstances as it does on your symptoms."
"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."

"The faster you accept the reality of your situation, the faster you advance" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Progress in a time on uncertainty begins the moment you stop waiting for the old world to return, and start preparing for the next one.
This is where the idea of the '7 Stages of Economic Grief' comes in. Much like the stages of personal grief, organizations often move through a predictable cycle during economic downturns. Understanding these stages, and accelerating through them, is key to resilience.
Shock: Initial disbelief and paralysis in response to sudden economic signals - plummeting markets, layoffs, uncertainty. Decision-making halts.
Denial: A refusal to accept that the downturn will last or have real consequences. Leaders believe "this will pass quickly" or "we’ll be fine."
Anger: Frustration emerges—at markets, governments, internal dysfunction. Blame takes the place of action.
Bargaining: People start seeking stop-gap solutions or temporary fixes instead of long-term strategic moves. "If we just cut this budget…"
Depression: Morale sinks as a realization settles in that the downturn is real and will last for a while. Talent leaves. Innovation slows. The organization loses momentum.
Acceptance: Reality is finally acknowledged. New strategies are discussed. Leaders begin to plan instead of panic.
Hope: Action resumes. Ideas restart. Teams regroup around future-oriented strategies.
Great leaders don’t stall in grief—they lead their way through it straight into acceptance and hope. Realize this - you can’t build the future in you are in the denial, shock, anger or bargaining phase, because none of this creates momentum. Action does.
Recovery belongs to those who race through the grief to begin moving forward.
Thats' why you need to quickly lead your team through the fog of the grieving process when a downturn begins. While others pause in paralysis, your job is to light the way forward. The best leaders do this by helping everyone move with speed through doubt and into direction. It’s not the recession that breaks companies—it’s how long they stay stuck in it.
What happens if you stay stuck in the anger, shock or denial phase? The state of absolute paralysis when a recession looms and idea factories are being turned off! The result is that they don’t just enter a potential economic recession, they go into an idea recession.
But the winners who achieve growth in a recession don't think like that.

Honor your capacity. You’re not going to get out of it what you want if you’re trying to push so hard that you’re hurting yourself in the process.
Happy Monday-internet connectivity issues at my job today. That’s always fun-
But, an opportunity to practice acceptance.
Little goofy art for Autism awareness/acceptance month!
