I LOVE my job as a Head Start preschool teacher. My days are amazing, but coming home and having paralyzing anxiety about how I’m going to pay my bills is terrible.

@medwynw Sometimes I’m like “Wow I didn’t know it was an option not to hate yourself”

An icky feeling comes over me even when I type out the words “bipolar 1”. It feels like a bad word. It’s the kind of mental illness that is just ugly. There’s no sugar-coating it. With mild anxiety and depression there’s almost a romanticized self-deprecating element to it, but with bipolar it’s just bad.

@medwynw Yes, I agree. That’s very well said. Mental health awareness is ok as long as it’s not severe or harmful mental illness it seems. But to be honest, I’m fatigued with my own depression. I wish I could get it together.

people are accepting of autism under certain conditions- like if you’re a self-sufficient genius. Go ahead, wear your headphones, but build us a rocket while you’re at it.
On the other hand, when autism is truly and completely disabling, we tend to look the other way. People don’t want proximity with high-support needs, non-verbal, autistic full-grown adult men. It’s very difficult when somebody who is intellectually disabled and 200+ pounds shows harmful or disruptive behaviors. We as a society don’t want to deal with it.

If you’re looking for a beta reader, I’d be happy to chat and see if we’re a good fit. I’m not an editor, but I’m happy to give it a read and share my opinion.

@scriblotta Knowing who to trust in the industry

[Emma @EmEggleston1]

@BillWiIdin It’s incredibly frustrating. It’s the same way in childcare as well. It’s completely and utterly corrupt. There’s also no reason why MediCare shouldn’t pay for memory care.

@Loi_cee But you get smart while you’re at it :)

We read “Alan’s Big Scary Teeth” by Jarvis today. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a good length for my Pre-K students and it had lovely illustrations.

@itsnwts Is it too late for Bernie Sanders to run for president?
