The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Ambiamory is the ability to be content in either monogamous or non-monogamous relationships.
How I would describe it is:
Non-monogamy is wanting and desiring romantic and/or sexual relationships with multiple people at the same time........

What's a way chronic illness has impacted you that you weren't expecting?
Mine is singing! If my fibro is flared, even slightly, my throat and lungs just don't work the same, so songs I can sing with ease on my good days become a challenge with a wobbly voice and bad breathing 🙃

Feeling the grief waves today..... So why I'm choosing to play a game about the after life is beyond me 😅
But I'm taking it slow. Doing gardening. Playing games. Chilling with my other dog. Drinking tea out my fave mug.
Restoring my soul a little bit ✨️
How're you looking after you today? 💚

I'm so fed up of seeing the "X is a mental illness" narrative.
Just because you don't undersrand something or "agree" with it, doesn't make it a mental illness.

What is a safe space in therapy? 💚
Just because you deem yourself a "safe space" doesn't automatically mean that you are. Safety can look different for everyone, it can be fluid and relational. It can change depending on who's in front of you.

Diversity is beautiful. I know therapy can't remove the patriarchy, oppressive systems, and capitalism. But it can be a space to explore who you are and how you can live as your authentic self, however that looks.

CW - pet loss, cancer, anticipatory grief
I took some time off recently as I had to say goodbye to my Arty dog.
He lost a 13 month battle with lymphoma. We did all we could, but unfortunately it was his time to rest.

It's disability pride month 💚
Disability isn't a slur or a bad word and yet growing up it always felt like it! There was an element of not to look or talk about disability, like it was taboo or lesser than. The kind of out of sight out of mind mentality.
