I don't choose the fixation

Nyt on mahdollista päästä kertomaan omia kokemuksia työelämästä neuropoikkeavana, olipa sinulla (jo) virallinen diagnoosi tai ei. Työterveyslaitos tekee virallista tutkimusta aiheesta "Neuromoninaisuus suomalaisessa työelämässä". Kyselyssä keskitytään kokemuksiin ja tarpeisiin työnhaussa ja työelämän arjessa sekä työkykyyn ja työhyvinvointiin. Tällä kerätään tietoa neuroepätyypillisten henkilöiden työelämäkokemuksista, jotta työpaikkoja voidaan kehittää entistä neuroystävällisemmiksi.

Kysely on suunnattu kaikille, jotka kokevat kuuluvansa johonkin neurovähemmistöön diagnoosista tai sen olemassaolosta riippumatta. Jos tunnistat itsessäsi esimerkiksi ADHD:n tai autismikirjon piirteitä tai oppimisvaikeuksia, voit vastata kyselyyn. Diagnoosia ei tarvita.

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

…relic…

they knew that space was there because they can perceive it directly. it's literally right overhead all the time for their entire evolution. they know the faces of thousands, millions of stars, as soon as they tip their faces up. eridani is a name from two thousand years ago. all their stars have been named and known and watched and sung about for longer than any individual human civilization. they have always known the eridian star was there.
