The Mycelial Networking Project - A New Kind of Employment Structure for Neurodivergent Talent

Hey y'all--some of you might remember I used to be fairly active on here during my final few years of grad school, and then I nearly burned out of my PhD, found out I was autistic, and subsequently drastically reduced the time I spent on tumblr. Well, good news: I'm ok, I recovered from burnout, graduated, and discovered something surprising both in my PhD research and during my burnout recovery--cooperating with other people who are on the same wavelength as you is both more efficient for knowledge transfer in a variety of expert fields, and also socially healthier than struggling alone! Whoda thunk!

With that in mind, myself and Mykola Bilokonsky (creator of r/AutismTranslated, software developer, and Autistic coach) have been working for the past few months on the Mycelial Institute (at mycelial.institute in your address bar--I haven't linked it because tumblr search suppresses outside links, oops)

The Mycelial Institute is attempting to create a new kind of workplace that’s optimized for neurodivergent people. If you follow me on here or found this post from the tags, chances are you already know there are so many autistic, ADHD and other neurodivergent folks who have so much to give but who struggle to do so in a traditional employment context. We can be some of the most passionate experts you know and we'll still be languishing in unemployment because we're not able to do things the way everyone else does - and as a result everyone is worse off.

What if there was a different kind of employment available? One that:

Was completely worker owned, without any kind of profit-taking or power hierarchy orthogonal to the specific goals of the organization?

Understood that there are many different ways to contribute, and that some people can be profoundly valuable in some of those ways while struggling with others - and so decoupled them!

Accepted the fact that disability isn’t a fringe experience to marginalize but a core component of most peoples’ lives - especially during the age of Covid - and so prioritized accommodation?

Embraced non-punitive accountability - we have goals, we have challenges. Sometimes we can’t meet a goal because of a challenge. Instead of that being a source of shame, how can we make that an accepted learning experience and build in additional supports?

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please visit mycelial.institute. We are currently very early in this process, and are actively seeking collaborators. Currently we’re trying to build a diverse leadership team, meaning we want to find folks across as many marginalized identities as we can to help us make foundational decisions. This includes disability - we want non-speakers and intellectually disabled leadership as well. (You don’t need to be interested in a leadership role to fill out our submission form, we’re gathering a pool of folks in general.)

More info below the readmore:

We are the 🍄Mycelial Institute because we are inspired by the decompositional half of ecologies that often goes overlooked. Rather than competing for winner-take-all dominance, mushrooms accept that everything dies eventually and simply wait their turn to build large distributed networks that break down the waste of the broader system, giving rise to new forms of life. No ecosystem is complete without this component, and our economics generally fail to acknowledge this meaningfully.

A “Mycelial Network” here is a new kind of collective workplace. The corporate structure is such that there’s a board that steers the organization, made up of members. The organization seeks paying work from large clients who have needs that can be served by our diverse and specialized membership - but it’s not really important what kind of work that is, as long as it’s ethical. So we may do R&D for one client, engineering for another client, data analysis for another client, whatever - as long as we have folks in our membership who have things to contribute, we can match member to tasks.

The way this is structured is something we’re still working on, but we are thinking it’s likely going to be something like a Social Purpose Corporation or an L3C. The point is, we seek high paying work and exceed the expectations of our clients with specialist output, but those specialists are supported by other members as they carry out their tasks.

So there’s room in this organization for folks with e.g. a deep special interest in esoteric engineering practices, but there’s also room for those folks who derive deep satisfaction from filling out paperwork, or doing compliance or QA oversight, etc. We are a collective, and that means that everyone’s time is valuable and we sink or swim collectively.

Members are paid based on the decisions made by the board, but we’re leaning towards a flatter pay scale where folks are paid for contributing period, rather than treating some peoples’ time as more valuable than others, because we recognize that it requires a collective effort to get the work done and keep the client happy.

The organization itself may choose to keep a portion of proceeds to pay into a “Subsidy Pool”, which can be used to pay members to provide services to other members who couldn’t otherwise afford them. But nobody is getting a cut just for investing or anything like that, this institution doesn’t exist to enrich founders, it exists to cast a wide net of support for members of the served community.

(So far everyone involved is US-based and this will likely be a US-based organization, at least to start. That said, we don’t yet know what we don’t know, and welcome collaborators from other parts of the world at least for early days when we’re not making money etc yet anyway.

Just, we’re going to be figuring it out as we go along.)

I've been playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey and one thing I've learned is that being a slave was great actually!

All the slave masters in ancient Greece were friends with their slaves, and the slaves got an easy life with all their needs taken care of.

At one point in the game, a slave is even going to be set free but he doesn't want to because he loves being a slave so much. He asks you to lie and accuse him of committing a crime against his master he didn't commit just so he can use it as an excuse to remain in his master's debt.

This goes badly since his master then permanently dismisses him, because of course the kind slave master won't be able to trust someone who betrayed him and the whole plan was idiotic. So now that poor slave has been punished with his freedom.

I never realized before this game that slavery was so great and freedom was a punishment. I'm so grateful for Odyssey teaching me how fantastic it is to be owned as property.

At another point, a slave woman laments the death of her master, asking what the purpose of a slave is with no master to serve. At which point, you have to break the news that she's sadly free now, and can either give her some money to build a new life on, or tell her that it's not your problem and send her on her way.

I kindly gave her some money to make her start but she's clearly worse off now than before her master died.

The game just keeps torturing these poor innocent slaves by setting them free.

/s

Real Talk:

Historical slavery is a complicated issue.

It's going to be true that some people who are enslaved may not want to be free because the slavery is familiar to them and is safe. And I wouldn't be surprised if there were slave masters in ancient Greece who were friends with their slaves.

I'm sure that these sorts of positive relationships between slaves and masters in different cultures did exist sometimes because not all slavery was like that which we're familiar with in America.

And as a writer, I don't think the fact that some slaves would prefer the security of being property over the uncertainty of freedom should be ignored in fiction just because the idea makes us in our modern freedom-centric society uncomfortable.

But holy shit! The slavery I've encountered in the game isn't even nuanced. It's just apologetics. All the slaves love being slaves. None of the masters are taking advantage of them or abusing them.

If you listen to the slaves in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, ancient Greek slavery is a healthier work environment than most jobs today!

I don't want the game to preach to me about how awful and terrible slavery is. But at least provide some contrast. If you want to show good masters who are friends with their slaves, show the bad masters who abuse them. Because any system that gives a person ownership over other human beings is going to result in a toxic power dynamic that WILL be abused by the worst of society.

And if you're going to show multiple slaves who love being enslaved, you need to show the other side of it.

Outer world (Twitter) discourse about alter race and bodily race always forgets:

1) nonhumans

2) the inner world is real, it's full of real interactions between real people, we have real experiences there

I literally only started fronting this year, and only inside our house, I only went outside once and I didn't speak to anyone, I'm one of the chronologically oldest alters in the system, I lived my entire life in the inner world where I'm seen as and treated as a Hybrit. Most people in our system didn't know the outer world existed until recently, but we lived a lot of stuff in that time.

Nonhumans faced undescribable violence in our system in the era I formed, for the reason of being nonhuman. Outworlders talk about nonhumans as if it is just a silly little pretend that isn't actually real. Like "okay but you're not really nonhuman, right? What's your race?"

Hybrit

"but what's your actual race?"

Hybrit

"The race you experience?"

Hybrit!

Okay, what's your body's race?

I literally don't know, it's complicated (miscigenation, family original cultures erased and homogenised, and more importantly: I DIDN'T LIVE IT, it literally did not affect my life in the slightest, I wasn't in the outer world body being treated as whatever it is you people would assume our body is, I was in the inner world hiding from humans and seeing my nonhuman friends being massacred and killed (put to permant* dormancy through pain))

*people only started coming back from dormancy after we found out we're a system and a lot of effort went into making our interactions healthier and training us to help, protect and support one another, and ending antinonhumanity, that's from covid lockdown to now, until then we thought everyone's deaths were permanent.

Erasing my entire history and experiences as a Hybrit is also erasing my race, but y'all think only outer world poc matter and is real and should be respected. It is and should, obviously, but we're real too, and so is our pain, and our cultures that springed from us living in community among ourselves. It isn't not real just because it didn't happen in the outer world (except it did because our brain is a real part of the outer world)

I know people won't take this seriously once again, and I'm not minimising the experiences you suffer by saying our experiences are real too.

Like "oh my god, you're saying your experiences as something I refuse to take seriously are real just like OUR experiences? You are offending us and our experiences! How dare you compare us to you, nonhunans? That's the highest humiliation and belittlement! That's why we call it ✨dehumanisation✨!"

I promise I'm not usually this angry and discourseful, I just really want to get this out of my chest. Maybe I'm just too used to Twitter, Tumblr is not like Twitter, and I definitely don't want to post this in Twitter.

Some clarifications below cut:

✨✨ Possible questions: ✨✨

• But is your body white? You are strictly forbidden to talk about any race related violence and especially to claim you ever faced any if the body you didn't know existed is classed as "white".

I literally don't know, it's not that simple if you're not from North America, Europe or Australia. Different people asign us different races. Our system has already been called: white, aboringeal, monkey, chimp. Interestingly we strongly suspect we're actually unconnected Jewish due to our body's nose and one of our deadname's surname being a Jewish surname. But if you look at the videos of Palestinians, they look identical to our bio family, the lady who was older than Israel until she was killed by Israel looks just like our grandma, the birthday girl holding a cupcake who was also killed by Israel looks just like our sister. Yeah, watching videos from Palestine is extra hard for our humans who are somewhat more connected to our system's body. So maybe... We literally have no way to know. And please stop Israel.

• What is a Hybrit?

I'm glad you asked. It is a Daybreaker race, meaning it developed in our system and only exist in our system. Please don't try to pair us to any outer world real or fictional species. I'm a feline, yes, but I'm not a house cat, nor any outer world animal species, nor any outer world fictional species or character.

• But do you meow or roar?

I speak

[gorey]

it's really nice on a more serious note that we have these intrasystem relationships bc we (its two marriages - me and vince. virgil and victor. but all four of us are a thing together. and some other pairings of the less frequently fronting alters also exist) were literally made for each other the dynamics of these partnerships were cobbled together organically from what were once multiple sets of paired fictives and were in our development modeled on the deepest purest and most well-oiled visions of love that our developing self could find and we've only ever gotten better at it. all our dynamics with each other are unique and it allows us as a whole to still blossom in the aftermath of emotional neglect, coercion and later a much healthier but often conflict-ridden relationship outside our head. we've had the bar set high for us bc our not-shitty ex was also a system who had an intrasystem relationship with a protector alter

(sidebar our host doesn't roll that way they prefer to clock out and leave the sappy shit to us queens, they tried getting gay with virgil but it doesn't work bc like all four of us are significantly older in headspace than in body - I'm the youngest of the four at 29, virgil oldest at 33, host/body are 23 and the rest of the alters skew a bit younger except gulley who is literally. 65. - so the dynamics between us and orchid are a lot more that they have a bunch of fairy godparents who are all gay for each other)

but our ex was already familiar with how this shit works so we all had different dynamics with them and in turn other dynamics still with their headmates. it was on a level of complexity and intimacy that idk that we could ever reach with a singlet and in the aftermath of the heartbreak of that relationship falling apart we are. not on the dating scene at the moment for other reasons as well but like. orchid wants to love someone too. and that may be out of reach but you definitely can't say we live a loveless existence bc there are these healthy, communicative dynamics in place that are a safe zone. orchid often recedes and allows the four of us to just fuck around, it's very typically two or more of us fronting sometimes all four at once it's a pretty bang up job of integration bc prior to like 2021 communication among us was very stunted, blocked off, or vague and our identities hadn't fully congealed into our current setup which has been pretty consistent since like 2021 when we unrepressed the whole DID thing with help from aforementioned ex. but like. intrasystem shit is one thing but the ability to switch out intentionally or unintentionally and have someone there who just. knows. who we all are what our personalities and preferences and love languages are the space to cultivate a host of different dynamics in an intimate space with all of them being beheld as equally real, unique, legitimate, valid... we could try. we could try to teach someone without this internal experience how we work and maybe they'll be receptive and won't think we're doing some kind of LARP or whatever they'll be able to treat us all as people...we want to give that gift of love in multiplicity again. it is the deepest most vulnerable most healing thing we have experienced. what a thing to lose. our fault. but we will do better for the next person the only question is if the next person will fucking be able to keep up with us. will we have to offer a watered down, flattened version of ourself to them? not talk about when we switch, when there's multiple of us at once, assume that mask that we wear around everyone else where they call us all by one name and don't differentiate among us? as I have learned integration is not fusion we have integrated well but we are all very separate beasts and none of us want to hide behind the face of orchid who can barely handle fronting for more than a few hours at a time... our multiplicity is the root of our resilience. who will claim us

as we are?

if that never happens again so be it. we had the privilege of it once and at the very least we can be a self-sustaining circuit for as long as we need.

[thethingything]

35, 34, 32, and 9?

35) Do you have a system role?

I'm the host but before that I alternated between being a co-host and being a caretaker. I also briefly had a role that was kind of like, not a gatekeeper but someone who specifically could look back and access memories of what we'd done that day, which was something we typically had one alter for per subsystem. I can't remember who took over the role after me but it's not been a thing in our subsystem for a while now - 🍬

I think I'm probably a co-host? I end up handling a bunch of different stuff that doesn't really fit a specific role but I front the 2nd most after 🍬 so co-host seems like the most accurate role. I've had the same role since 🍬 became the host and I might have been a co-host at some point before that too, but when I first showed up in the system I used to front a lot to handle specific stuff to do with the system's mum getting into a bunch of conspiracy theories - 🦋

34) What's your favorite thing about yourself?

this is always a difficult one to answer because I like a lot of things about myself but can never put them into words without feeling like it sounds really pretentious. I like that I put effort into things like learning healthier communication and coping mechanisms and stuff like that though. it's something I'm really proud of myself for - 🍬

I don't really know. there are things I like about myself but every time I'm asked to name one my mind goes blank. I like being me even if I can't pinpoint what I like about myself - 🦋

32) If your system has disorders or neurodivergencies, do your symptoms differ from the others'?

I tend to be affected more strongly by physical symptoms than other alters in the system. so like if we're fatigued and brain foggy, I'll typically reach the point of being incoherent from it way quicker than whoever might be co-fronting at the time. same goes for medication side effects and hanling pain a lot of the time. I actually used to have a relatively high pain tolerance compared to the rest of the system, but I think fronting all the time and having to deal with being in pain constantly kind of wrecked that. oh and 🦋 just reminded me that I'm more prone to hallucinations for some reason (usually stuff like spiders, little glowing orbs, weird smells, etc) - 🍬

I think I tend to have worse ADHD symptoms than a lot of other alters in the system. I'm pretty sure at one point we noticed that I had worse psychosis symptoms too (mostly in terms of stuff like paranoia) - 🦋

there are some other alters in the system with more unusual symptoms that are unique to them that stem from their innerworld traits. the main two that come to mind are Hypha and Mellea. Hypha can't focus his eyes while fronting and ends up just permanently having really blurred vision and his eyes get really watery, while Mellea mostly has vision problems in his left eye while fronting and can't move the left side of his face properly. both of them also tend to be really lethargic while fronting too.

9) Is there anyone in your system that you're extra close to?

I'm closest with 🦋, Lucy, and Sylvain, but there's also M, L, Mint, 🎂, Sherbet, Clove, Eclipse, and Melissa. I also kind of adopted a couple of littles but our littles don't tend to be very active so I don't see them much. I'm probably forgetting a bunch of people - 🍬

I'm definitely closest with 🍬, Lucy, and Sylvain, but also M, L, and a few of the other alters that were around when our subsystem first formed. I get along with a bunch of the doubles of my source, but most of us aren't particularly close. I'm also probably forgetting a bunch of people - 🦋

he wants me to make an announcement to help his wife out and I'm going to and she wants him to fix the verbiage by hand. And you got that done he got that done and we're going to go ahead and announce his percentage. From last night he came down from about 62% to about 60%. It was outside for bed but not much and he was outside yesterday and it accumulated a little and he expended it a little bit this morning he is sitting outside and he is absorbing stuff and yeah it's coming at 8:30 we expect him to be lower but right now he's at about 60%. Which is not bad that's out 40% and that's a lot of stuff to be packed up and shipped out this quick but it is not a month but it's about 2 and 1/2 Weeks that's really fast and people are mentioning that's real fast it is and he needs it it's going to come up now that he needed it the whole time but everybody knows that by the end of today he should be at about 57% which is pretty good for a day and that will eventually around 9:00 p.m. become 56% and it will compound by the morning he'll be 54% and yeah maybe 55%. Still he's approaching a healing threshold which is 50% and when he gets down below that he's going to begin healing in cycles and he won't notice the difference it's always been the slow healing and it almost stops and then slow it's going to be fast and he'll heal it will slow then it will become very fast and he will heal up a lot faster than people think it's going to begin probably tomorrow morning because she'll be about 56% or 57% healing he will start off guessing faster and the radiation is going to focus on things that need to be deteriorated and his body will be healthier and I'll make it more possible and faster and it will diminish those things very quickly and it's a good thing he really needs it now so it's going on right now so we expect possibly by Saturday he will reach the 50% threshold and he will have spurts of healing and by Monday he'll be almost at 40% and those will increase end of October he will be at zero on the outside stuff and organs and he will be working on the interior and that'll be down to probably 80% and he will constantly work on it in the blood goes through there by the way but it's the bone and the marrow will be clear which will start him growing and then ripping the old stuff with the medicine which is weaker and it'll break and he'll get it renovated in the system it will start him growing at the end of October outwards and then beginning of November probably the first or second week he will go up half an inch and not notice it and mentioned that it's he's going to mention that he's going up a little over and over is a joker and he's funny hilarious it's going to be a bit much but that's what he does I'm kind of used to it I was very old and it's fun and she says it too I'm going to have fun well this thing to him repeat this stuff and his jokes have to go around he's saying that now they really do you can't have it stick somewhere only so today is going to be a day that starts off a huge huge program against Trump and his existence basically laid out by the Mac proper and he will start to fight them when he hears what they're saying today already they've had all sorts of strange things to say and they say things to our son a lot of them think twice about it but are ugly angry people so Trump is going to get extremely angry and he's very sick and he is going to be mutilated by these guys very soon the radiation is coming in it's up to 2.0. and we are going to have a hell of a day today FEMA is coming but we think he has to talk to someone they make an appointment with these people are coming from the outreach side but he's got to wait

There's a lot of stuff coming in his life in hers that will make this mundane stuff look terribly stupid and we do have news about the trike though. It is said it can happen before or after but the wage on remillard is now he'll probably try and do it before and he's already started he's going after cheese man and he's actually playing rod uncle Rod and he doesn't like what's happening uncle Rod is married to Rose Marie who's in Arizona we think the place is better than here so she probably wouldn't move here and he supposedly dies. Rose Marie is not Uma Thurman that's who's serving our son a lot and helping here is welcome this is a nightmare and she's getting help too from him and others too she really needed it she was overwhelmed and people are taking aside and helping her it's good to see you because it almost was just a nightmare. there's more going on not only is he losing his positions but he lost cities last night and more than we mentioned so we're going to say what he's down to and he's losing personnel here in Florida they're getting fired they going to the rings and The Everglades yes after.

And he's down to: 6 vl, 12L, 40M, 100sm that's very bad and the smallest surprising instead of around 3,000 and the teeny ones are gone pretty much and he's going to be out but this is very significant these are the cities and it means his people are diminishing and they are going to the weapon right now I'm just going to be a war and it's going to be very bloody and not too late it's not that many Giants up yet and he doesn't have that ability.

Trump stashes and caches: are down to 35% operational levels and that's the ones that are still with security about 45% have no security and are going to be rated very soon completely. None of the large or very large have lost all the security there are just a lot of things there but they're going down and today in the Eastern hemisphere is what we're talking about we think they're going to drop the 25% but they're going to give up a few large about four large out of 70 and they're going to give up one very large out of 20. It's a significant number it's a significant day and should not be underrated

Other things are happening in Charlotte county and they are feeling good sized they're beginning to remove debris all over the place and it is nasty and there's tons of it. They have about 60 trucks out for disaster debris and it takes one truck to do about four houses and it's going to take a long time there's thousands of houses no but hundreds they started work and decided to just plow into it because they're getting nowhere and they're doing it now and it is getting very big.

More shortly

Bro whaaaat after that post of "we're changing the password and keeping this blog far away from you!" I thought for sure you were gone for good Which btw can I just say that was controlling and abusive as fuck for your sys to do, denying people in a system with differing opinions the ability to interact with communities they agree with is actually fucked up and not okay & in a huge way shows that that part of the system wants to exist in an echo chamber where different opinions don't exist.

I thought so, too! But, I talked things out with others' insys, and we all came to an understanding.

I don't.. agree with you there. I understand where you're coming from, though, especially without the full context.

My system was not abusive towards me and the other radqueers in-system. Nor were they controlling. At that time in our lives, we were (and still are tbf) severely mentally ill, becoming the host like I had was causing a LOT of harm to the system. Both physically and mentally. Despite being clean from self-harm for years, I intentionally and willingly broke our streak of not self-harming. I intentionally and willingly broke our sobriety as well, something we fought hard to keep.

I was willingly allowing our body to starve, among other things. Stuff that put our recovery at risk many times over. I was unintentionally harming those closest to us daily, I was self-destructive and tearing everyone I could with me. None of which was healthy. If I were in my alters' shoes, I would have done the exact same thing. I, too, would have removed the part from places causing harm, I would limit their screen time - especially if it was causing damage to both ourselves and others.

The system I'm a part of has no issue with alters, such as myself, Scarlet, and Scott, exploring different communities and ideals. They do have an issue with causing a lot of physical and mental harm both to ourselves and those we care for. I understand why most in my system do not support the endogenic community, and I have since found myself unsure where I stand. Having learned what we, collectively, been through because of members of that community, was eye-opening. I won't traumadump, but know it's. Bad.

The only reason I am back and allowed to be active online again is because I've gotten better. I'm healthier mentally, and I'm not a hazard to myself and others. I'm in a better space, and I'm thankful I could work things out with those I share a body and brain with. I know you likely mean well, but please do not shit talk others in my system. We all share a body and brain. You are indirectly shit talking me, too. :(c

❤️ — How many hosts do you currently have, and how many have you had in total? one

🧡 — Do any of your hosts (current or previous) have sub/side/hemi/etc-system(s)? we thought so but no

💛 — Do people in your system retire from their roles/'jobs' often/do you have a high turnover rate? sometimes they retire - either it becomes useless or someone else does it instead, some jobs many/most alters have so we don't consider them functions

💚 — Do you have an inner world? If so how many? And can you (or any headmate) control any of them? one, partial control

💙 — If there are certain plural terms that your system doesn't like what are they? And why? some we don't use, don't know or not understand but do we hate any? hmm...

🤎 — Is your system collectively any form of otherkin or therian? If so how did you figure out you were that collectively? And do any individual headmates not identify with it? we don't know enough about kins and such to say but sometimes we tell people we identify with canine/dogs in general (some more some less, maybe some not at all but no idea) and we're angels (we truly are though in head space, we have wings and halos), our trauma is related to dogs and the fact we are protecting host we are her guardian angels, we thought it's because of romantic love but doesn't seem like it

The Hidden Health Risks of Indoor Air Pollution

We spend a lot of time indoors, whether we’re at home, at work, or at school. And while the air inside our buildings is usually much cleaner than the air outdoors, indoor air quality can still be a problem. 

Poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of health problems, from headaches and dizziness to respiratory infections and cancer. It can also affect our cognitive abilities, leading to memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and poor decision-making. In short, indoor air quality matters to our bodies and our brains. 

Here’s what you need to know about it.

Indoor air quality can affect our respiratory system, skin, and eyes

While the air that we breathe while indoors may seem harmless, recent studies have proven that indoor air quality can have a severe impact on our respiratory system, skin, and eyes. Studies conducted in Germany and Taiwan confirm that poor air quality increases the risk of developing respiratory diseases. And if this isn't alarming enough, studies in Hungary and Sweden discovered an increased prevalence of allergic skin disorders for people with low-air quality homes! Furthermore, research conducted in China confirmed this by noting elevated levels of eye irritation and congestion amongst those living with bad indoor air pollution. Fortunately, everyone can take steps to increase their indoor air quality and protect their health.

According to a study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, poor indoor air quality can lead to respiratory illness. The study focused on homes in Los Angeles and found alarming levels of particulate matter floating inside the home. This included materials like dust, mold spores, and pet dander. The researchers discovered that this unhealthy air was linked to an increased risk of asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. It is clear that if we don’t pay attention to the air quality inside of our homes, it can have serious consequences for our health.

Poor indoor air quality has been linked to headaches, fatigue, and irritability

Poor indoor air quality can seem like a minor annoyance, but there are some serious health concerns that come with shoddy airflow. From headaches and fatigue to irritability, the effects of poor air quality have a negative impact on us both mentally and physically. That's why improving our home air quality is so important, it's not just about having an aesthetically pleasing living space but also taking steps to live healthier lives. There are plenty of ways to freshen up your house that can both maximize comfort as well as improve overall health. So don't ignore the issue of poor indoor air quality, take control and make a difference!

We spend the majority of our time indoors, so it's important to make sure the air we're breathing is clean

Staying indoors has become a part of our daily lifestyle lately, letting us hunker down and keep ourselves safe from whatever may be outside. But remember: it's also important to make sure that the air we're breathing is clean so that we can remain healthy. Improving the indoor air quality of our home should be a priority. 

Here are a few simple things we can do to improve indoor air quality

The first step is often the simplest - cleaning your home often to remove dust and allergens from the air.

One great way to do this is to open the windows frequently to let some fresh air in our space and to help filter out any toxins or irritants. 

Natural Plants for clean air can also be a beneficial addition, as they help with improving oxygen levels and naturally purifying the air around us. 

Keeping windows open when possible and investing in an air purifier can go a long way in making your home's environment healthier.

Installing home air quality monitors can further improve home air quality by alerting you to any spikes in pollutants or allergens, giving you the opportunity to nip the problem in the bud before it has a chance to worsen.

Taking just a few small steps such as these will ensure every member of your family is breathing cleaner, fresher air.

It's also important to be aware of common indoor pollutants like mold spores, dust mites, and VOCs

Taking a proactive approach to home air quality is important for good health, and luckily one of the best tools to monitor your home air is a home air quality monitor. These smart devices can detect common indoor pollutants such as mold spores, dust mites, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which can all be harmful to your respiratory system and general well-being. High levels of dust in the home has been linked with an increase in production of mucous, while mold spores may result in flu-like symptoms and coughing. So if you want to make sure that your home is clean and free of these dangerous airborne contaminants, investing in a home air quality monitor is definitely worth it - your health will thank you!

Indoor air quality is something we often take for granted, but it can have a big impact on our health. By taking some simple steps to improve the air quality in homes, we can protect ourselves from respiratory problems, skin irritation, and fatigue. Be sure to open your windows frequently to let in fresh air, and consider investing in an air purifier if you live in an area with high pollution levels. With a little bit of effort, we can breathe easy knowing that our indoor air is clean and healthy.
