What do you for Self Care? Here's Aiden talking about their acts of Self Care: “I take naps, read, write, listen to music, and I eat snacks. Showers are also very soothing. I like the sound of rain, so sometimes I just turn on rain sounds. I also clean and organize stuff.”

Today is #SelfCare Monday, here's some advice from Athiette: “I moderate my twitter usage, only look at news sites twice a day, try to make connections with people who will be supportive, and indulge in cute things as I find them.”

the binary is an illusion . Smile and let a flashflood of love run through all parts of you if you agree😀. We are not binary. And I mean us, the human race. We never were. We are just playing with polarities. And it's fun. I used to do ballroom dancing. It's great fun. It was even more fun when I started doing it with women only. Playing with the roles. Why can't we all be this flexible and whole? We have lots of different currents of emotions and conciousness inside of us. Not all of them express in gendered physical form. Gender is not a club to beat people into shape with. Patriarchy made it so. But that's just dark age violence. Gender is there for us to have fun with and play. On all levels. mentally, emotionally and physically. Live itself isn't binary. It forms all kinds of relations and shapes. Circles, triangles, polymorphous forms. The binary only exists in the imagination of people that want consciousness to be stuck in one form. For reasons of power, control and fear. That's a very impoverished state of being. Even when I have a heterorelationship I am only really close to my partner If I allow myself to ditch the binary. Most progressive men will know what I'm talking about. As a neurodivergent person I am much closer to this understanding as I am likely to not understand this artificial divide anyways. We need to help the rest out of their corset of unhappiness. Really. Holding up the binary is like arguing about whether god is a he or a she. Utterly silly. I bet you all know this, but I just was dancing this morning, realizing how much damage this does to our bodies wholeness and I had to say it again. It was latin and that culture is so steeped in this and I had to find music that didn't represent that. @actuallyautistic
