Dubliner living in #NYC teaching #STEM to autistic students. A penchant for sparkly things and whimsy. Nasty shoe habit. I #Crochet and I may be turning into a bit of an #activist because well - if turns really bad I have to be able to tell myself I at least tried. Ban guns not books. We won't go back. Resist.

Last Notes npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Richard Dawkins fell in love with it, calls it Claudia and claims it must have consciousness because it understands him so well. 😵💫 npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx a relative with bipolar was using it for a while during an episode and now they are stable realize it was literally feeding their paranoia and amplifying their intrusive thoughts. It's dangerous. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx well it's been clear for a while he only likes listening to what he wants to hear. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx one of the best tools I have found for helping kids deal with big emotions is the Incredible 5 point scale. https://www.5pointscale.com/ I brainstorm with them while they are calm how they can climb down the ladder. Counting to 10, blowing up.a pretend balloon, stomping etc. So when explosions happen I just have to say 'Oh it looks like you're angry at a 5, how do we get to a 4, so we can start to fix it?'. It doesn't always work straight away but it certainly helps a lot. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx I would love to explore different jobs but I am pretty much stuck where I am because everyone depends on my health insurance. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Thanks - yes I've been doing a lot of PT. I really have no idea how it's going to be after. I bought a leg elevation pillow, a cooling therapy machine and a cane. The pre-surgery educator said I should aim to have a g of protein for every kg of body weight. My diet isn't bad, Christmas treats aside, but I just don't eat enough to get even a third of that. Mostly today I'm looking for how to hide the protein powder taste in the smoothies! npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Experimenting with smoothies because apparently I need to drastically increase my protein and vitamin intake pre and post knee surgery. I bought an organic plant protein powder. So far (day 2) regardless of what else I added, they have just tasted mostly like the vanilla of the powder. Anyone have any tips? npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx And visions of sugar plums danced in her head. #Eloise https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/115/778/174/428/519/980/original/4f0d48c1987ef663.jpg npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx The problem with old NYC apartments is the heating only has two settings: off and sauna. So when it's cold out and you have to wrap up - you have about 0.3 seconds to get out before you turn into a puddle. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx #Eloise surveying her territories last night.

Tell me you've never lived paycheck to paycheck... Rent was due Saturday. A lot of people were depending on snap for groceries for the week. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx it's to do with shame. It's perceived as shameful to be poor so people pretend not to be and get into more and more debt to maintain that image. Another victory of the rich because most of the time they're the ones who should be ashamed. But as I've said before - the concept of shame is a weapon invariably used against the most vulnerable in order to oppress and control them. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx There's a lot being said about the #NoKings marches and I agree that they are largely performative and don't achieve that much when looked at as isolated events. But what they are achieving is people who wouldn't usually are getting more involved with #activism stemming from attending them. People are meeting like-minded people, organising, attending civil disobedience, deescalation and marshaling trainings, taking part in other actions, things they wouldn't be doing if they hadn't shown up. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Son 2 went to a stargazing event this evening and got a really cool photo of #Saturn https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/115/318/952/167/727/278/original/36ae1f94d6eb5c83.jpg npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx I was at a goat sanctuary and 6 of the goats there were the product of housing an intact goat for one night in a separate enclosure with an anti-mount bag around his neck. He got 3 goats pregnant in an hour. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx it's asking me to create an account or sign in to follow but I follow other bridging accounts without having to do that. Is it a setting or something? npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Rise and Resist at Trump Tower. They read out the names of everyone held at CECOT - before NYPD came and arrested them. #NYC Photo Credit: Jackie Rudin https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/114/655/656/757/385/054/original/b307a6eb4ef00c65.jpg npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx A PSA from a seasoned protestor (Alexis Danzig) Regarding the national guard being called out to Los Angeles because people are fed up with ICE grabbing people: Douse eyes with water after a tear gas attack; not milk. It's hard to keep milk sterile especially now in the hot weather. Bacteria can contaminate the milk and potentially cause infection if applied to eyes or skin wounds. Water or saline solutions to wash out eyes after a tear-gas attack are a-ok. #NYC #LA #Resist #AbolishIce npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx there is discontent in what used to be Eastern Germany because after the wall came down, instead of merging, their culture was just obliterated. People are unhappy and ripe for RW disinformation. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx ooh thanks - that might be a fun activity to do with kids in school! npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx also when he was talking his bs about inflation the two foods he mentioned people would be able to buy again were ham and bacon. Both pork products that neither Jews nor Muslims eat. npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx hang on - what? We don't use 'fancy dress' here? I do. Nobody ever corrected me. 🤔 npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx I don't want people walking on my food prep surface! npub1zef472vj6lyzjpp50lhmm8zwup622d37ax5ccv8gujd8lak308esvjdyd8 Jenny Fx Ok one more - just because it's the best photo. #NYCEasterParade #StandUpFightBack https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/112/193/190/065/199/367/original/183796cf73a4ec45.jpg
