Autistic, neurodivergent, queer, BIPOC, and disabled folks absorb a lot of information from our environment — and much of this amounts to immobilization and silencing. Rather than shame myself for coping and surviving, I can acknowledge and appreciate just how adaptable and resilient I am. And once I do that, I can use my wisdom, strengths, and badassery to make sure no other person has to go through what I have.

Listening to the same song on repeat all day is one of my fav things about being alive.

Sometimes it feels like feelings come in super-sized form. Happy? No, super happy. Sad? No, super sad. Confused? No, super confused. It can be super tricky to navigate super feelings.

Psst, keep those tea sayings you get at the end of tea bags. You can put them up on your wall and feel whimsy all the dang time. Or, get loose leaf tea. Either way, stay hydrated and don't forget that the world needs you (despite all the bigots bigoting around telling you otherwise). 🩵 Anyways, read more about me summoning courage and badassery in a super gentle way in my very first post of my memoir-ish Substack, On the Flyway.

Learning more about yourself is a forever journey. How do you know when to give yourself a pep talk? How do you know when to let yourself just sit on the floor and cry? How do you know what to do and when to do it and how to do it and why to do it? These answers aren't fixed, and they'll change just like the seasons. But the point in asking all of these questions is to get curious about yourself — what you want, what you need, and everything in between...because if I wanna love myself, I gotta get to know myself.

"...I hold a few hydrophilic bits and groove into a bath of safe desire." Finding your voice — or rather allowing your voice to emerge and investing in it — can be quite a journey. I find that if I'm overzealous and too excited in retrieval, my thoughts and feels tend to vanish. Ah! But sometimes, within the silence emerges some truths that jiggle like a jelly...a sign that I am in the right direction.

Refusing to do the inner work when you have the time, money, and access to do so *before* having kids, & then saying that you don’t have the time or capacity to do that work because you *now* have kids is richhhhhhh. Like yes, you don’t have the time or capacity now. Which is why you should have done it beforehand.

when I see people eating it brings me joy like yess they are nourishing themselves 😌

I’ve never been one to not say “don’t say I didn’t tell you so”. I will tell you so before, during, and after the fact. And I have no shame. It’s not a personality flaw, it’s confidence in not being afraid to tell it like it is and call out bullshit when I see it. Some people need to be put in their place.

I think I’d love it if I didn’t need any sleep and then instead of sleeping all night I could think all night and it’d be dark and quiet and no one would bother me and it’d just be me and my salt lamp.

When my dog gets impatient she sulks and rests her head on any surface. And when she gets really impatient she knocks sh*t over and makes sure you know what’s up. Let’s all be more like my dog.

Are you waaay deep in therapy and self-improvement? Do you find yourself working through trauma and crying and laughing and grieving and learning and unlearning and questioning and growing and growing and growing all the dang time? Me too! That's why I started The Bird's Eye View. It's a lil section at the end of each of my Substack posts that poses a question (or two or three or four) that connects that deep inner work we do to what the bleep is going on in the world, because it's all connected. Any noodles, The Bird's Eye View from my latest post is about holding space for feels while also nudging yourself towards more growth. Comment whatcha think! Or not! Do you! Follow your heart! Be safe! And check out my Substack, On the Flyway! 💕

Fractals are repeating patterns found in nature, and they're relaxing as f*ck to look at 😌 As an autistic/disabled/chronically ill/queer/neurodivergent girlie, decompression is essential — exhaling out all of the horrors of the world creates space...Space to daydream, reimagine, rebuild, and execute. For me, this space is found in fractals. Read more about my first steps towards exhaling out all of the gunk on my memoir-ish Substack, On the Flyway.

Things all humans need: a space to safely express ourselves. Autistic, queer, disabled, and BIPOC often encounter [insert atrocious sh*t like racism, microaggressions, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc etc] when we're our authentic selves. Over time, we may learn to suppress in order to self-protect — because being ourselves comes at a high cost. Sadly, this suppression becomes rote for so many of us...until one day we're like...hey, I think I'd like to be me, all of the time, from head to toe, today, tomorrow, and always...and what might we find? A whole lotta work that needs to be done to unlearn and relearn and become. Anynoodle, read more about me taking that first scary step and gathering my feels on my memoir-ish Substack, On the Flyway.
