MASSIVE FIND: Two lost ancestry paintings finally found: The famous Dutch portrait artist Berend Kunst was a Cosmopolitan artist who travelled all over Europe. He just so happened to also portray FIVE of my ancestors.

- Jakob Hindriks Kuper (1792-1856)
- Engeltje Jochems Georgius (1809-1894)

Jochum Remmes Georgius (1778-1854)

A farmer in the Dutch region of the Oldambt, who left behind quite a trail of art and poetry in his life. A pious rural romantic poet who also figured in the Dutch Rèveil, a religious romanticism movement.

Will post more in October

I absolutely need to get back into making Genealogy discoveries for my friends.

If you are a friend and curious about your ancestry, contact me on Discord if you want me to try to make your family tree.

When we talk about adopting a neurodiversity perspective, and rejecting the language of deficit, it doesn’t mean “focus on people’s strengths instead”. It means “don’t assume a difference between two neurotypes is a deficit” or more generally “accept the differences between people w/o judging them”.
"A focus on earning power reinforces existing prejudices...The pursuit of capitalist-defined strengths risks excluding people with a learning disability from the neurodiversity narrative.

And researchers are driven to use economic arguments to demonstrate the value of their work."
Neurodiversity is Anti-Capitalist
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “strengths”, and the way we define them, in relation to neurodiversity.

We live in a time where it's no longer possible to see the architecture as a simple manifestation of its functions. In the rising post-industrial creative society, the mind (psychology) is inextricably linked with the concept of beauty, and in the same way, the architecture in it must be as well.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Your occasional reminder that autism doesn't exist outside autistic people.

If you're telling us you want to "defeat" or "eliminate" autism, it doesn't take much to understand what you're REALLY saying.

Happy #AutismAcceptance month, by the way 🫠
RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."
