“THE TELEPATHY TAPES” PODCAST
Y’all, one of my best friends growing up had autism, so this topic is very near to my heart, but if you want to understand what people with autism both deal with and are capable of, I highly recommend this podcast. It’s blowing up right now, but for good reason. People with autism have a range of special abilities, one of which they highlight in this podcast being telepathy, with an immense amount of research and tests to back it up. Its both relieving, and also mind blowing, and makes me equally sad to think about how we’ve been conditioned to believe everything that we see is how it is, while there is so much more to us as people.

I unfortunately think this podcast is doing a lot of harm. Look into the issues around facilitated communication and how that’s portrayed (or lack thereof) in the pod. I want so badly to believe in what is suggested in this podcast, but if shes wrong, she has just found a new way to misinterpret and not hear what autistic people may actually want to say. Sorry, long comment—I was really taken with this pod and then felt swindled when I did more digging.

Aphantasia
one of the best episodes of radiolab in recent memory is all about this! Whether you visualize or not it’s such an interesting listen to learn how other people experience thought and what it says about their brains

maintenance phase podcast
this is the podcast that really made me value podcasts, as well as being one of the biggest parts of my own personal recovery with food. cannot recommend highly enough! Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes debunk various health and wellness claims, studies, movies and biases on this show. truly changed the way i look at the world, myself, and has given me a more critical eye for the infinite wellness industry. ♥️

Open an art gallery
Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

Rural living
Spent a month in a cabin in a rural town in Washington state and fell in love. Spent my days gardening, writing, cooking, working out with logs and trees, just living the most simple life. Being back in a city makes me sick to my stomach now and capitalistic 🤮. It sucks.
