Good morning! I'm going to keep my eyes to the trees today, as our "old regular" birds are starting to make an appearance. Yesterday I spotted blue birds, a red-eyed vireo, and a male summer tanager. I've consistently heard a yellow-billed cuckoo around, but he apparently has powers of invisibility.

Enjoy whatever your day may bring!

#today

Last night I took the bold decision to do something other than watching Seinfeld for the 100th time. I’ve been neglecting practicing drawing and did that instead 😊 Here’s the result:
My sister is leaving Greenland this coming Monday, returning after 3 months of working as a nurse in Upernavik. She’s had quite the adventure, immersing herself in the life lived north of the polar circle. Which also means witnessing things like narwhal hunts and polar bears getting cut up. Inuit culture. I look forward to giving her a hug again! 🥰

@autisticbookclub @actuallyautistic Oh, thanks! This is great! 🤩
@manon Exactly! I hope he will love the thought of immersing himself in a book one day. I guess my worries have been about it “stealing” his time, but it’s my job to help him administer.
@adelinej I don’t know, but that’s actually a really good idea. Then we aren’t too committed from the get-go.
@manon Yeah, I’d definitely put a lot of thought into curating the content!
@adelinej I am wondering if it could be a tool for him to “unwind” after kindergarten, or to “isolate” in very stimulating settings, where there’s no “escapes” (like when traveling).
#actuallyautistic Could anyone please give me a bit of advice on tablets for an autistic child? My son is almost 4, and I’m considering buying a tablet for him. I’ve been very opposed to the idea before, but I’ve heard people talking about how it helps them in very high-stimuli environments. Is it too soon? Is it a good/bad idea in general? My son uses TV watching as a way to unwind now, was thinking the tablet could also be good for that?
