"Last week the U.S. government terminated at least 68 grants to 46 institutions totaling nearly $40 million when awarded, according to a government website. Some of the grant money has already been spent, but at least $1.36 million in future support was yanked as a result of the cuts, a significant undercount because estimates were available for less than a third of grants."

I just migrated here from SecondUniverse@neurodifferent.me, so as a quick introduction... I am a trans woman. I transitioned back in the nineties before the world declared war on us. I was diagnosed with autism in my fifties, and more recently I have self diagnosed myself as having CPTSD. I post about astronomy, game development, trans issues, mental health, autism, and writing. #trans #actuallyAutistic #writing #mentalHealth #gameDev

Pinned Thread

I realized this thread is gonna be me ranting about how much I love Zoë Straub. Oh well, thread continues whenever I feel like it, I guess!

Hello friends! I am excited to (re)share the #mentalhealth project I started two years ago: https://littlebetterzine.com

Little Better Zines are free guides to evidence based coping skills – now expanded and redesigned with new info and improved accessibility.

These are techniques I often share with therapy patients, but I know not everyone has access to therapy. I hope you find these zines helpful, and I’d be grateful if you repost/share the link with anyone who might need them!

Eine britische Studie zeigt: Menschen fühlen sich in den Morgenstunden am glücklichsten, während das Wohlbefinden zu später Stunde deutlich abnimmt und Depressionen zunehmen.

Im Winter leiden die Menschen häufiger unter Einsamkeit und depressiven Symptomen als in anderen Jahreszeiten, der Wochentag spielt dabei eine untergeordnete Rolle.

"The grief of lost friendships can be overwhelming, but disability justice organizers emphasize that the ruptures people are experiencing related to COVID-19 are just one example of the larger experience of ableism in our society."

Reminder to check in on your friends, especially those dealing with health issues that you might be losing touch with.

CW just means thinking if what you're going to post has a good chance of causing stress to someone. It's very easy and causes no harm to you.

I can't remember where I downloaded this from, sorry.

Erst #Linnemann mit "Listen für #psychischKranke",
jetzt Oliver #Huth vom Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter (BDK):
"Ich würde mir wünschen, dass die #Polizei direkten Zugriff auf #Gesundheitsdaten bekommen kann."

Was läuft eigentlich schief im Denken solcher Leute?

Once you have awakened to your own agency, you can change your life through every choice you make, regardless of the category:

• health
• wealth
• relationships

Wouldn't it be great if you had a little bit of help along the way? This is some game-changing stuff. If you're ready to make 2025 your best year, click the link:

#CPTSD and #SelfSabotage

What makes CPTSD survivors self-sabotage? When something good comes your way, do you think, "This is too good to be true, so I might as well pre-empt the bad ending?"

Or do you think, "I don't deserve happiness," and so you go out your way to destroy it, whether consciously or not, so you can say, "See? I was right. I'm a bad person. I don't deserve good things."

That's the trauma speaking, not reality. #mentalhealth
