"Neurodivergence is not purely created by capitalism...but the way it manifests today is shaped by the demands and pressures of this system.
Traits like hyperfocus, pattern recognition, and creative thinking can help people resist the nonsense of capitalism. Yet capitalism only values these traits when they increase productivity.
The fight against capitalism must also be a fight for neurodivergent liberation." ✊♾️

'Excuse me,' says Alice.
'May I say something?'

pickNeurodivergent Marley is determined to finally go to their first ever Pride, but they have to find ways to make Pride work for their sensory needs. I absolutely loved this beautiful picture book. The characters are wonderful, the textures of every page are amazing, and the illustrations are inclusive. #picturebook #Neurodivergent #lgbtqia #inclusive #disabilities

“You remember your first love because they show you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how you become a person and why.”
Love this book 🧡
