 Matters for reflection :    

From my SubStack channel:    

• “The Danger of Stoic Sadism   When Resilience Turns into Cruelty” by JA Westenberg;      

 

 Some llinks that might be of interest or value:

• “How to spot an Omen or Sign”   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZiOz4KzyOc   by Grumpy Old Crone      

• “Ask a WITCH Anything About Magic and Activism!”   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSDfc5CcnGI   by the Activist Witch   This also refers to https://criticalthinkingwitches.com/ and also has a series of interesting shorts, such as “Wicca is not based on an ancient pagan tradition”      

• “Channelled Teachings Inspired by the Spirit World”   on Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death   “Step into the wisdom of the unseen. What if the answers to life’s deepest struggles—loss, purpose, and awakening—were waiting just beyond the veil? Whispers Beyond the Veil is a spiritual guide that brings through timeless teachings from the Spirit World, offering comfort, clarity, and a new perspective on living a soul-led life.   ...   This book isn’t just about receiving messages; it’s about remembering your own power as a spiritual being living a human life.   ...   Bio Amy Marohn is a medium, spiritual hypnotist, and founder of Sensorium Hypnosis. With a background in rehabilitation counseling and over two decades of experience in healing and spiritual work, she guides clients and students around the world in aligning with their higher self and purpose”   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000728018817        

• thisoweek’s “afterlife report” by the  Zammits:   https://www.victorzammit.com/September26th2025/   

• also from YouTube:
  

• a song helps a traumatised dog;      
  
  
• from YouTube and elsewhere ononeurodivergence (noting asymmetrical bifurcation but also synaptic  (under)pruning and neuroplasticity with regard to autism): 
• blatant and ridiculous lies by the current US regime about autism:  see  this criticism and rejection of the presentations (they lacked the standard, rigour, and quality to be accepted as evidence) of those trying to claim a link between a drug and ASD (“In excluding plaintiffs’ experts, Judge Cote noted, for example, that the experts applied a “transdiagnostic analysis” not generally accepted by the scientific community, that served not “to enlighten but to obfuscate the weakness” of their evidence   ...   plaintiffs’ expert asserted that three studies “found that acetaminophen exposure beyond 28 days showed a two-fold increased risk for childhood ADHD and ASD diagnosis.” (internal quotations omitted). Id. at 145. But Judge Cote took the time to look closely at the underlying evidence and noted that none of the cited studies involved ASD. Moreover, the “greatest weight” in the expert’s analysis was placed on a study that “did not involve even an ADHD diagnosis.” Id. At the end of the day, the Court found that the analyses featured in published studies on the issue simply did not find any clear increased risk of ASD or ADHD due specifically to prenatal exposure to acetaminophen.”) - see also   “The (Lack of) Science Behind Tylenol & Autism” - which is an excellent analysis and explanation - including the fact that this is really about controlling women,  this debunking (and call for sustained activism to get rid of zombie ideas [my words]),   this ("autism is not a curse that we need to be rescued from"),   and also see  here,  here,  here,  here,  here,  here,  here and here,  here,  here (possible backlash amongst the US leader's far right cultists),  Tylenol's response,  and “Obama says [the current leader] linking paracetamol to autism is ‘violence against the truth’”; 
  
  
• how high masking women hide their autism in everyday life;

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
