Last Notes npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I've seen some people associated with TBS immediately respond to every single piece of criticism, no matter how mild, respectful, or obviously valid with ad-hom accusations of racism. This makes me highly doubt those people accuse others of racism in good faith. It's pretty obvious that they just use those accusations as a general purpose weapon. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Abolishing the EU won't keep him from being tried by The Hague. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It That's horrifying! I can't imagine what they were thinking. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Never said to me seriously, but said to a lot of people my age: "Don't cry or I'll give you something to cry about." npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It This was entirely predictable. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I was just looking at that "backed by the full faith and credit" line at my bank and thinking that wasn't so reassuring anymore. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I think Americans read too much into Duverger's law. It doesn't require there to only be two parties on the national level. There are a lot of countries with FPTP that elect more than two parties to the legislature on a regular basis. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It "empirical, mathematical proof" is *chef's kiss*. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I just realized that by releasing the instructions that made grok "accidentally" go MechaHitler they're giving their users a way to re-enable that behavior if they want it. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Immigration is a human right. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It When I decided in 6th Grade that I wanted to live in historically significant times, THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT! npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It This is way cooler than Centralia. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Immigration for political reasons is a human right. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It That's not a justification for committing genocide and you know it. Two wrongs don't make a right. You should have learned that in kindergarten. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I am so not looking forward to getting black market vaccines from civilized countries. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It This brings back bad memories of Driver's Ed. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It When I was a kid growing up I sometimes thought about what I'd do if fascism came to my country. The thought that maybe my children and I would be some of their first targets really never occurred to me. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It It looks so much nicer from above than at ground level. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I'd rather see his wealth redistributed to his victims. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I never thought I'd live to see the day where the Paperwork Reduction Act did anything other than generate paperwork about complying with the Paperwork Reduction Act. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Ironically I just got back from doing that. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I'm sure it was fun. I tried it again today and it's still fun. I just wonder if fun was the only reason I did it. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I toe-walked occasionally, but only because it was fun... I think. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It New Year's report: npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It 🫂 npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Ooh, sign me up for that! npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It By the way, if you ever want parenting advice from an autistic parent of autistic children, I'd be happy to help. If it's something that I don't know the answer to I can pass it on to some of the other similarly situated parents here. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Exxon is pretty evil. The gun industry is pretty evil. And there are and were some pretty evil governments, of course. But they don't have a lot of competition in the evil department. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Everyone my family goes to has been bought up by one of the two megaconglomerates in the area in the last two years. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Oh, that's terrible. I always pick the plan with the biggest network that my employer offers, but I know not everyone has that privilege. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I really can't put into words how wonderful it was when I finally got ADHD meds that worked. But that makes it really ridiculous that they won't pay for executive function therapy because that's a major part of ADHD. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I think that's great! Executive functioning is second only to social interactions in things I've struggled with in life. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I'm sorry to hear that. I feel like therapy really did help one of my children be more comfortable around neurotypicals, but it's impossible to know if that would have happened anyway. Thinking about my own life and that of my kids I think the most important things are to let autistic kids know that there's a reason they feel like they're different from the other kids (and that's ok!) and to treat them like they are human beings capable of making their own decisions. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I was reprocessing this article a few minutes ago as we autistics are wont to do, and I realized in addition to being demanded to do something he can't, he's also probably frustrated they're treating him like he isn't very intelligent, because studies say that most nonspeaking autistics are of normal intelligence, they just can't speak. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Benji desperately needs someone who understands what it's like to be autistic in his life to work with him and find what's needed to bring him peace. Speech is obviously not easy for him and he should be taught how to use an AAC device to communicate more easily. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It It's wonderful that you respect your daughter's autonomy. Too few parents do that, especially for their autistic children. It's what I've always tried to do with mine. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Is it PDA that makes my first reaction to any post that says "Please don't X" is to really want to do X? Yeah, it's probably the PDA. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It My youngest is 5 and has #adhd, and when they're happy they say "This is the best day ever," and when they aren't having a good time they say "This is the worst day ever," and I really think that's a perfect expression of what emotions are like when you have ADHD. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Oh, I know this one! Canonically, he's still orange, he just has mold growing on him a lot because he lives in a garbage can and never bathes. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It But how do you teach them to hate learning that way? /s npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It That's horrible, though it's an excellent demonstration of how schools are for teaching you to conform much more than teaching you anything useful or interesting. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I feel like I understand NTs better than most autistics, but don't feel qualified to write that book. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I wasn't heading in that direction, but I have to admit I'm curious what it would say. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I guess I should be more careful about saying there should be a book about something in the presence of authors because they think books can be written by humans. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It But that is a book that should be written! npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Sadly that knowledge comes mostly from asking my neurotypical parent why people do things a lot. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I do suspect that thinking differently has a lot to do with it. As I learned how NTs think better I started understanding them a lot better. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It I feel like this is a really good start, but I don't know that I'd be able to reason my way from that point to the difficulties in communication that we have with neurotypicals. npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It What a gloomy candidate! npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It Relevant: https://thedailytism.com/autistic-kids-tricked-into-going-trans-claims-woman-whos-never-tried-to-make-an-autistic-child-do-anything-they-dont-want-to-do/ (This is the best Daily Tism headline yet!) npub1ckkrxznenc3thejdq20xmdzpml8lc9h83m70j0dtpchj5z8q89vsh58cdu Bernie Luckily Does It https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/109/521/328/359/146/722/original/4fd51a4450097f17.jpg
