Awake at 5am. I hate non daylight savings.

Also it’s autism acceptance month. Seeing lots of promotion of it at work but no actual discussion of how they actually do anything positive to help people with ASD. Nor the fact that many employees hide it because they don’t want to become a target / be put in the spotlight. It’s also ironic that return to office is pushing ahead, when people with ASD often find corporate offices a sensory hell. (Apart from other issues like dealing with commutes etc)

Oh god I hope nobody tells all the big companies about this. It'll become pride month V2

spoiler

Not dissing pride or pride month here, I just don't like when companies take over events and social causes for the sake of trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of people
