We have entered the season of cold temperatures. This is a friendly reminder to tap tap tap on your hoods & wheels and blow your horn.

The numbers of cats being injured or killed are far higher than people are aware of 😓😓.

Orbea variegata

This plant is one of the many stapeliads found in South Africa, long placed in the Milkweed Family (Asclepiadaceae), but now transferred into an expanded concept of the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae). These two families were clearly closely related, but it is still something of a shock to have the entire milkweed family swallowed up by its neighbor. In any case, the stapeliads are a notable group of succulent-stemmed plants within the family, with remarkable starfish-like flowers. Orbea variegata is fairly common in coastal areas of South Africa’s Western Cape Province, near to Cape Town. This is the second form of it that has come into flower this year at the Ruth Bancroft Garden, and its flowers certainly are attention-getting.

Just letting you know that if you've recently been diagnosed or recently started to figure out you're autistic:

It's totally normal to feel like you don't know who you are.

This is due to masking. Many of us take on other's personalities in order to make up for social inadequacies. Friends, TV characters, movie stars, family members, cartoon personas... When we're diagnosed or start to strip back those layers, you may find nothing underneath.

It's okay. Don't be afraid. This is how to discover Autistic you. This is discovering who we can be.
