Press Secretary Jen Psaki demonstrates candorous professionalism in the first White House press briefing. So refreshing to see a pro at work. Psaki ably handles some really dull questions.

I updated “Just Sayin’” with four new quotes: You cannot counter structural inequality with good will. You have to structure equality.

We are all accountable to the urgent work of building a more just, more equitable world Source: Apple launches major new Racial Equity and Justice Initiative projects to challenge systemic racism, advance racial equity nationwide – Apple True that. I might add that line to my “Just Sayin’” list. See also: Equity Literate Education: Fix […]

That’s who Sam Vimes is. He helps people who have nowhere else to go. — The Watch S1E1 I watched the first two episodes of “The Watch” and enjoyed them enough , with reservations about the tinkered characters.

For me and many other LGBT individuals with autism, the internet has been a socialising goldmine, filling in the gap left by our inability to engage with other LGBT spaces. Online, tone of voice and nonverbal facial expressions are removed as factors from understanding conversational intent, with words alone explaining intent. Social media allows me […]

Neurominorities, Spiky Profiles, and the Biopsychosocial Model at Work

I’m making my way through my second read of the very interesting ”Neurodiversity at work: a biopsychosocial model and the impact on working adults”. There is a lot to digest. It offers: definitions of neurotypical and neurodivergent based on spiky versus flat profiles a taxonomy and timeline of neurominorities an evolutionary critique of the psychomedical […]
