I made this a long time ago but for some reason never posted! It is my quick guide to protecting yourself against burnout as a person with ADHD and ASD.
Of course it is all about meeting your support needs at the end of the day, which are completely individual and may vary over time, but this could function as a guide if you have a hard time figuring out where to start! 🫶🏻 💙💙💙

Plain text:
Inosculation, a natural phenomenon in which trunks, roots or branches of two trees grow together. When branches or roots from different trees are in prolonged intimate contact, they often abrade each other exposing their inner tissues, which may eventually fuse.

Learning to work with the body and brain I have, rather than the one I thought I should have, has made my art better and easier to create.

[video description: a giant eagle creature is tied to a cliff. A little boy cuts the ropes holding it, so the eagle is set free, however, the boy ends up falling. He gets very scared and tears up, but the eagle catches him. The rest of the video is a mesmerizing flying sequence featuring the two characters. End description.]

[image description: a digital comic. The plot is as follows.
"Hi! - says a woman dressed in housewife clothes, - my name is Audrey Wife".
"I wanted to tell you a little bit about my family. The Wife family," - she says, pointing to family portraits hanging on a wall.
"You see, it all started with Johannes Wife, the patriarch of the family," - camera zooms in on one of the portraits, showing a muscular man with a moustache dressed in housewife clothes.
"And throughout our long lineage we've always held up the traditions of the Wife name. Isn't that right, brother?" - she says.
"Indeed, sister," - appears a man, also dressed in housewife clothes.
He continues: "And just like great artisan families, we have our own specialties too! We call them the 3 Cs. Cooking, cleaning," - says he, holding a cutting board and a broom.
"And, - stretches out he, - Combat". The picture reveals that the broom has a blade on the other end and that the cutting board has spikes on it. The brother's eyes are glowing red. End description.]
Some trans people are like me when picking names. I kept my last name and picked names that started with the same letters to keep my initials because I wanted to respect the names my parents gave me.
Some trans people are like one of my friends. She changed her entire name including her last name because she hates her dad and doesn’t want to be associated with him.
Some people are like this other person I know. They didn’t change their name at all because screw you that’s their name so you should deal with it.
Do whatever you want with your name. It’s your name. Nobody else’s. Different things will be important to you. That’s your business.
Two-headed tortoise Janus turns 25!
Janus, who also has two hearts, two pairs of lungs and two distinct personalities, would not have survived long in the wild as he cannot retract his heads into his shell to seek shelter from predators. But at the Geneva Natural History Museum, where he hatched in 1997, Bourgoin and her team of carers - who believe he is the world’s oldest bicephalic tortoise - can cater for his every need!
He is under constant surveillance in case he flips over, which could be fatal, and survived a bladder stone operation in 2020. His heads need periodic treatment with vaseline to stop them getting sore when they rub together.
His two personalities also generate different moods and tastes that can occasionally lead to conflict, for example over which direction to walk. “The right head is more curious, more awake, it has a much stronger personality. The left head is more passive and loves to eat,” Bourgoin said, adding that one head was partial to endives and the other to carrots.
