I saw an article by a psych once that said if you connect a Yes activity to a No activity (I can ONLY have dessert if I do life admin), eventually you'll trick your brain in to see the No as a Yes.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalistβs home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.
Thanks! This is what greeted me in my backyard this morning π
This morning said "look for hope & beauty", so that's my intention today. #hudsonvalley
When I walk in to my salon on a busy Saturday & all my neurospicy, queer staff are busy creating beauty in all of its various forms, I'm so full of pride. FULL. Curlies, trans folks & neurospicy women (all folks who often feel shamed or ignored in beauty) being cared for together. #success
The constitution is our TOP priority & ultimate rule book in USA, except when it means Trump's goon squad or Trump will held accountable for ignoring it. All Lives Matter, except black &brown one, women, leftist/socialist/Dems/commies, queers and trans folks.
Just so we're clear: Guns are absolutely our right to have, so we can protect ourselves from govt over reach. (Where are the gun folks) State rights should be protected at all costs, except when a state goes against what federal wants, particularly re to women, black & brown folks.
#Trump turned our entire government in to bigot vigilante hit club, including all the scum at the top to the bottom feeding scum wearing cop costumes. I hate this whole timeline & am thoroughly disgusted that we aren't holding them accountable for a fucking single crime they commit.
When you're about to land but realize it's the US.
Daily art. #fuckice
"There is a darkness, like rust, reaching into everything around us."
THIS. If only we could get someone through the π²π²paywall to run on this.
I'm not convinced their mamas want them back.
Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened."
REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.
Grow a spine.
Good morning from the NE winter tundra & it's beast.
Anyway, their behavior is, I suppose, a red flag in itself. I just really hate this kind of indirect, assumption based interaction. This is what makes people so hard to connect with, particularly for Autistics.
I wasn't even dumped directly. The person accidentally sent me texts saying what they felt about me TO me. When I gently pointed out the mistake, they apologized for the "unprofessional way" of communicating this to me. You DIDN'T comm anything TO me, you accidentally shit talked me to my face.
If only people would communicate more directly. It's easy to just not accept a follow request if you don't want it. Or say "no, thank you". Instead, you label an attempt at connection a red flag, express this to someone other than the person it affects, and then act validated in your choice. π
Yesterday I was dumped by a potential pet sitting job because apparently following the person whose home you may be sleeping in on IG is a red flag. I thought a more transparent connection to see each other was a positive. This was confusing & hurtful to me & my autistic brain is ruminating now.
In other words, America doing illegal shit. Don't worry world, most of us hate us too. π
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means itβs now the US administrationβs position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Started off 2026 working alone in my salon. Saw 1 regular client, then did 3 "pay what you can" cuts, for lovely humans who give back too. Good way to start this shit. π
Same Judy, same.
Watching bunch of young music lovers react to their first listen of Smells Like Teen Spirit. 2 things made me π€¬. One person saying "Nir-VAAN-a" multiple times. Another saying "oh yeah, they're from like the 70s or 80s I think". Are the kids alright?!? ARE they?!?
When you have a bestie who gets you on all levels & gifts are top notch. Sassy bird stickers and texture stickers are basically my whole personality π
2026 intro time: I'm a queer, Autistic mom to an ADHD kid, a gamer, a comics reader, an animal lover. I own a neurospicy friendly, safer space salon in the Hudson Valley, NY. I believe in community, kindness & critical thinking. Live/coparent with my baby daddy, but romantically single. Halloween π
Season 2 of Wednesday was disappointing. I don't get why she needed to be so unlikeable. Wednesday was utterly nasty, cruel & rude to everyone around her. Her darkness isn't rooted in a lack of kindness or empathy. Just a bummer.
Yes, we all deserve to thrive! Good to hear from you Sarah!
Love watching Charismatic Voice discover music, but this one extra special. So many traumatized, deeply sad & pissed off teens of my generation fell intensely in love with NIN/ Trent Reznor's voice. Watch someone break down the genius of this music from a tech perspective.

Hey, Bluesky. I've been gone for a bit, but I'm ready to try again. Hope y'all are surviving out there.
