Hi! I'm Becky! π€
I draw Helicopter Death (see my profile pic), who's been my pet character since grade 3, I love to #paint, I sometimes write #essays when I think of them and I love doing #research, especially on #bipolar but also on other topics which cross my mind.
I live with bipolar and I think #adhd, so I post about that a lot, and other mental health things. I also post a lot about my kids and random things I think are cool or interesting. Likely sometimes politics. Maybe some lgbtq+ (I'm bi and demi)...
I know things about #memory and #psychopathology too, as those are very interesting areas for me and I've done seminars when I was in undergrad (plus I started grad school in clinical psychology but I never finished)
Adjacently, I'm married to @silverwizard so sometimes I talk about tech stuff too, if a topic comes up between us that sits with me
Nice to meet you all π

Bad at posting and dropped off the face of the fediverse for a good 6 months, but excited to be making a book for my 4 yo starring him and based on his current favourite book series. This is a picture of the cover I've made so far. Seems to warrent a post :)
Somebody please tell me if I did alt text correctly or tell me what I'm doing wrong if I didn't... I have never managed to get it right ππ³

But here are a bunch of tiny robots I made.

My mom was supportive in almost every way but she couldn't afford alternatives and so I had to go. But I think if my kid calls home every day, something is wrong and I have better opportunities than she did to do something about it

But thinking a lot about how you need to place your trust somewhere for the web to work, and what seems really important is in deciding who and where to place your trust.
For this and many others, I really need to find a way away from Facebook and Google (personally don't hate Netflix yet although willing to listen, and already migrated away from Apple and Amazon). I am determined too, just slow moving

When we live in a society which forces us to hide our autistic traits in order to have our basic needs fulfilled, while simultaneously denying our being autistic, and then penalizing us for "playing the part", it is natural that we will feel like imposters.
This is all by design. Autistic and other #neurodivergent people are demonized, othered, and excluded from society unless we play the rules. This cognitive dissonance is an essential part of being autistic, actually. Not a denial of it. YOU ARE AUTISTIC.

So this is me sending vibes of love and kindness and vitamin d your way
And reminding you that if you have vitamin d in the house you can take it during the winter and it might help. Or if you have a full spectrum light bulb that can help even more β€οΈ
Now that December is over, it always hits me harder too, so take care and stay safe and know I'm wishing you the best

Putting the image description here too incase the alt text didn't work. Please tell me if it worked π .
A computer screen with words on it on a black screen or in Grub (a bootloader), if that makes sense, with a rainbow backlit keyboard in front of it and two hands typing

It's only polite. And if it feels silly, watch out because you're also clearly driving too fast.

I've tried to keep myself contained after the one time my newborn started crying when I mooed. Can't win them all.

If you want to tell me, I'd love to hear about cool things that happened to people last year, whether it's completing a project, going to a new place or whatever.
Personally we discovered an outdoor amusement park for young kids, which was really fun to go to a few times, especially for their Halloween event

Thinking about all the harm caused to my siblings and I because both my paternal grandparents and dad had favourite kids. My mom never chose any of us tho, and I will not engage with it either. It makes it really hard for this and other reasons to feel super comfortable having my dad be an active player in the lives of my kids π

When given the same prompt, a dear friend of mine about twenty years ago gave me a little rock on which had been written with paint pen: "World Piece."
I don't know where that ended up, but I loved it.
(He also gave me a very nice electric wok)
