Black Tattoos by Tattooist Roxx TwoSpirit aka Bling Bling Roxx

It’s extremely rare that I see a tattoo, that – in my opinion – suits the body. I love the body by itself. I find harmonic bodies extremely beautiful. And I can never see myself getting a tattoo… just as I can never see myself wearing the same shirt or necklace everyday, for the rest of my life. Or having the exact same piece or art hanging in my living room for the next 55 years of my life.

But. These tattoos by Roxx TwoSpirit a.k.a. Bling Bling Roxx are more graphic, less detailed and looks way more like a piece of clothing than when I usually see tattoos. Super cool. Especially if you could wear them for just one day ;)

Carly Fleischmann: Autistic Girl Expresses Unimaginable Intelligence

I saw this video a while ago, thanks to my mom’s cousin Annette, who posted it on Facebook. I still think about it every now and then. Because it made a deep impact on me. So now it’s time for a post.

It’s the story about Carly Fleischmann. An autistic girl, who suddenly start to type and express herself through a computer – after 11 years of silence. Well, not silence. She is able to express sounds. But she has not spoken language. And no ability to talk. This is truly a mind-blowing journey inside the autistic mind and body.

TED Talk: Temple Grandin – The World Needs All Kinds Of Minds

Watching the story of Carly Fleischmann - and being so inspired by it – made me search TED for talks about autism and how their brain functions. This lead me to Temple Grandin, who is quite a piece! And truly inspiring too.

I love her comment about different thinkers and Silicon Valley.

Autism activist Temple Grandin talks about how her mind works – sharing her ability to “think in pictures”, which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.
