    S7 E1: August is the Sunday of Months
    Sep 3 2024
    We’re back! It’s season seven because these things are arbitrary like all this related to time, like what month we start school in the fall or what day of the week is the first day! This was recorded on the penultimate day of August, just before the long Labo(u)r Day weekend here in North America,… Read more S7 E1: August is the Sunday of Months

    S6 E13: Is it ironic that the episode about professionalism is episode 13?
    Jun 17 2024
    I’ve been thinking a lot about professionalism and how it is used to hide other, less…socially acceptable -isms, including ableism. How many of us who are neurodivergent have been told, explicitly or implicitly, that we aren’t professional enough? Otter.ai is being a pain again, so as soon as they figure out how SSL works or… Read more S6 E13: Is it ironic that the episode about professionalism is episode 13?

  • S6 E12: Neurodivergent Hangover Cures

    S6 E12: Neurodivergent Hangover Cures
    Jun 1 2024
    It’s that time of the year for us academics: THE END OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR. What does that mean? It means that there is a rush of events and experiences and expectations that can be both enjoyable AND taxing to us neurodivergent folks. So Aimée and I forget to introduce ourselves, go on three different… Read more S6 E12: Neurodivergent Hangover Cures

    S6 E11: Maybe Try Writing It Down?
    Apr 19 2024
    Aimée was name-dropped in a new Taylor Swift song, but that isn’t actually what the episode is about. What it is about is thinking (quickly! This is our shortest episode that isn’t just me addressing you and wishing you a sappy new year!) about the difference between reading a book, taking hand-written notes, and what… Read more S6 E11: Maybe Try Writing It Down?

    S6 E10: SPRING ZOOMIES!
    Mar 12 2024
    I swear, it’s only been a few days, and I completely forgot what we talked about for this episode. Finally, Otter.ai Insights proved useful to remind me what happened. We’ve talked about Spring Fever before, almost exactly two years ago. What’s changed? Well, we’re actually a little but better-adjusted and more attuned to how the… Read more S6 E10: SPRING ZOOMIES!

    S6 E9: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 2
    Feb 23 2024
    Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse! Look, it’s Friday afternoon, GarageBand was being weird, I’ve done nothing but tedious tasks today, and it’s been a stressful week for me, personally. (Everyone is fine, it’s all fine, we’re all fine.) And I have a bad case of… Read more S6 E9: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 2

    S6 E8: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 1
    Feb 16 2024
    The title is a mouthful. The podcast actually has some structure, with a build in cut point for part two that doesn’t involve me going incoherent. We have talked a great length about how advice meant for neurotypical people just doesn’t work for us, but how do you go about figuring out what DOES work… Read more S6 E8: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 1

    S5 E7: Crip Knowledge
    Jan 26 2024
    This was supposed to be what the last episode was about, but we took WAY too long to get here (and I am desperately trying to find where Aimée finally says it in the episode, but then gave up and just said it in the intro I recorded). Crip knowledge. Learn from it! Transcript (where… Read more S5 E7: Crip Knowledge
