  • How To Manage Hyperfocus So It Doesn’t Ruin the Things You Enjoy

    Send a text

    This week we've got an awesome question from Ashlea about how to moderate hyperfocus (or hyperfixation, or special interests) so that we neurodivergents don't burn ourselves out on things we enjoy.

    • TikTok on Slow Mornings
    • YouTube short on Hyperfocus vs Hyperfixation

  • How to Explain a Gap in Employment

    Send a text

    Hi babes! I have an amazing question from Hilda today about how to explain a gap in employment from taking time off to just chill and not be crushed under capitalism for a cotdamn minute! As we all know, employers don't typically like hearing that you are an autonomous being who doesn't like working, so how do we explain time that we needed to take in between jobs to rest, heal, and/or relax?

    Pulling from my own experience and also my knowledge as someone who has worked closely with hiring managers and HR people, I give my best tips for interviewing for new jobs with a gap in employment, whether that gap is short or long, and whether you are old (like me! ;P) or young!

  • I'm Back, Baby! Updates + Topic: How to Accept Help From Others

    Send a text

    Mommy's back! After my summer vaycay, I'm here to give some health updates, decisions about the show, and then talk about the main topic which is how to handle receiving help without feeling like a piece of poopie.

    Under capitalism we're taught that needing help is a weakness, a failure, a burden. But when you give help to someone else, it really sucks when they feel that way, right? So I speak today from my own experiences of both receiving and giving help, plus from conversations with friends, of how I approach help now and how I'd love for the people I help to process that outreach.
     
    Lastly, I have a call for mutual aid for my sister, looking for financial donations but moreso for professional connections and support, and for social media promotion.

  • Born This Way? How Bioessentialism Hurts Queer People

    Send a text

    After a convo with my beloved Mohera, we decided that a discussion about the dangers of inextricably tying queerness to biology would be a good topic for today's episode. I discuss my thoughts about queer-acceptance narratives that hinge on queerness being a thing that some people are born with that they "can't help."

  • What Does Routine Look Like Post-Capitalism?

    Send a text

    Today I answer an awesome prompt from Cait about how we (particularly autistics) might have routine in a post-capitalist, post-productivity oriented world that appeases our neurodivergent brains while also embracing freedom from a 9-5 or shift work.
