For many autistic people, work isn’t just about learning the job, it’s about decoding everything no one says out loud.
0706 remembers his first job as overwhelming. No one explained the unspoken rules, how to behave in meetings, when to punch in or punch out, or how to manage time.

He was trying to learn everything at once: how to be professional, how to be punctual, how to manage his energy. And like so many autistic people at work, he struggled to say he was struggling.

His workplace had an in-house therapist. Talking to someone helped him understand why he was feeling the way he was, how stress builds up, how to notice it before it overflows, and how to manage it better.

For Ved, therapy wasn’t about changing who he was, it was about understanding himself. And for many neurodivergent employees, that kind of understanding can mean the difference between burnout and belonging.

R@pe culture❌ Consent culture ✅

Too many survivors have had to prove they “fought back” to be believed.

In France, that’s finally changing. The country just passed a new law that says r@pe is any s*xu@l act without consent.

No more loopholes. No more “but she didn’t say no.” Silence is not a yes. Freezing up is not a yes. Giving in is not a yes.

This is a huge deal, and it didn’t come out of nowhere.

The law gained momentum after the heartbreaking case of Gisele Pelicot, whose husband drugged her, r@ped her and let strangers r@pe her. Her story sparked global outrage.

Survivors and activists turned that outrage into action.

Now, France joins countries like Spain and Sweden in making consent the baseline. The law spells it out: consent has to be freely given, clear, informed, and revocable. Anything else is not consent.

Advocates say it’s a major step, but not the last one.

Real change also means better s*x ed, trauma-informed cops and courts, and a justice system that stops failing victims.

Too many people, especially women, are told to “wait and watch.”

To “come back if it gets worse.” To “not worry about it.”

But cancer doesn’t wait.

From Olivia Munn and Clea Shearer to Angelina Jolie and Cynthia Nixon, they're a wake-up call, about missed diagnoses, about medical gaslighting.

These voices speak the truth: cancer is terrifying, yes. But even scarier? Not being believed.

Mary Sickler — Miss Nevada USA — just walked the Miss USA stage wig-free, becoming the first contestant to compete at Miss USA with a public alopecia diagnosis.

Diagnosed with alopecia universalis in 2024, she chose to ditch the wig at prelims in Reno and owned the moment in a jeweled headpiece and silver gown.

Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that can cause partial or total hair loss.

If this made you smile, drop a 💛. If you needed this reminder, share it with someone who does.

Donald Trump just confused a dementia test for an IQ test.

While bragging to reporters about “acing” a cognitive screening at Walter Reed, he claimed the test was “very hard” and used it to attack the intelligence of two women of color in Congress.

But here's the thing: it wasn’t an IQ test at all. It was the MoCA, a basic tool used to detect signs of dementia.

Intelligence and cognitive health are not the same thing and conflating them hurts people who already face bias, erasure, and mockery.

In 2024, only around 1 in 5 people with disabilities had jobs. That number hasn’t really changed in years.

It’s not because disabled people can’t work. It’s because workplaces often aren’t built to include us.

Job applications that aren’t accessible. Offices that don’t accommodate. Attitudes that still see disability as a disadvantage.

Even when disabled people do get hired, many are stuck in part-time or lower-paying roles they didn’t choose, just because full-time opportunities aren’t made accessible.

We’re talking about this because inclusion isn’t a checkbox, it’s a mindset.

It’s time for employers to stop treating accessibility as a favor and start treating it as a fundamental part of building any team.

Earlier this year, the US cut off critical funding to the UN World Food Program.

Just like that, food and aid for families in G@za, Sud@n, Syri@, Yem3n, and 11 other crisis zones were suddenly at risk. The WFP called it what it was: a de@th sentence.

While politicians stayed silent, , yes, the kids’ YouTuber behind Songs for Littles, donated $1 million to help feed over 2 million people.

Then she kept showing up.

For P@lestinian children. For q***r parents. For grieving families. For every kid who’s hurting, no matter the border, no matter the backlash.

She didn’t have to. She could’ve stayed "neutral". But she chose love over silence.

This isn’t just about one donation. It’s about what it looks like when someone with reach uses it to fight for dignity, justice, and humanity, even when it’s uncomfortable.

After Bella Hadid’s final walk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, trolls flooded her comments. Said she looked stiff. Said she wasn’t “walking right.” What they didn’t see?

has been living with a chronic illness for over a decade.

Bella has Lyme disease, PMDD, endometriosis, ADHD, and mental health struggles. She’s had IVs between shoots, hospital stays mid-career, and days where her brain felt paralyzed from the inside out. But when you’re beautiful, famous, and still functioning, people forget you can still be sick.

Let’s rethink and recalibrate how we treat people who don’t look disabled. Let’s not earase pain when it’s invisible.

A major new study has uncovered a powerful truth about women’s health: visceral fat - the deep belly fat wrapped around our organs - can do more than just sit there.

When it’s metabolically active (burning lots of sugar for energy), it can actually drive the growth of aggressive endometrial cancers and make them harder to treat.

This isn’t about body-shaming or fear-mongering. It’s about understanding that not all fat is equal, and how our bodies use energy matters more than how much we weigh.

Women with more “active” visceral fat were more likely to be diagnosed with advanced cancers, see their cancer spread to lymph nodes, and face tougher treatments.

Doctors say this could change how we fight cancer - by targeting this “hot” fat with new treatments, early screenings, and lifestyle choices that calm inflammation before it causes harm.

Here’s what you can do to protect your health starting now:

👉🏼 Prioritise daily movement. Even brisk walks help reduce visceral fat activity.
👉🏼 Focus on whole, fibre-rich foods that stabilise blood sugar and reduce inflammation.
👉🏼 Get enough sleep. Poor sleep raises insulin resistance and metabolic stress.
👉🏼 Avoid smoking and limit alcohol, which can worsen inflammation.
👉🏼 Most important, stay proactive about screenings and regular check-ups, especially if you’re postmenopausal or have other risk factors.

Running in reverse to move forward 💫

Meet Charles Evans — diagnosed autistic as a teen, he crossed the finish line of his first full marathon (5 h 26 m!) running backwards around Nottingham’s Forest Recreation Ground, to show that neurodiverse perspectives give us a beautiful vantage point.

By using different muscles, different rhythms and a reversed direction, Charles didn’t just challenge the track — he challenged the narrative that ‘difference’ is less than. His words say it best: ‘there is beauty in the difference.’

In a world built on “straight ahead”, this backwards run becomes a metaphor: for autistic people, for neurodiversity, for the power of doing things your own way — and raising funds for Autism East Midlands to make the inclusive world we keep talking about actually real.

In a country where same-s*x marriage isn’t legal and there are still no clear protections for LGBTQ+ folks, q***r visibility in mainstream media is rare, risky, and powerful.

That’s what made the latest teaser from K-pop girl group feel like such a moment.

Their single 'Spaghetti' features not just one, but three drag performers: NANA Youngrong Kim (who appears in the teaser), plus KYAM and RINGRING (credited in the YouTube video).

Fans immediately picked up on it and praised the group for always showing up for “the girls and the g**s".

But this isn’t new for LE SSERAFIM.

Screenshots have resurfaced of member Sakura’s powerful review of an LGBTQ+ Japanese film, where she openly questioned gender binaries and wrote, “There is no right or wrong answer for human emotions. Love between men, love between women, it is fine if it exists".

And then, there’s J-Hope of BTS also appearing in the video, just as BTS is teasing their return. It’s pop culture colliding with q***rness, in a way that feels bold, joyful, and deeply needed.

In a landmark move, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala has opened the state’s first-ever hostel exclusively for transgender students, giving them both a roof and a message: you belong here.

Trans students face housing discrimination, landlord rejection and daily exclusion , so many drop out not because of grades but because they had nowhere safe to stay.

This initiative is a vital piece of the larger puzzle of inclusion: reserving seats, rewriting curricula, and offering support. India, led by progressive states like Kerala, is showing how higher education can become safe, accessible and affirming for trans learners.

It’s a small hostel now (just six beds) but its significance is huge: the message that campus life must be for everyone.

The question ahead: if one university can build this, why can’t every university in India follow suit? 🌈
