2. Emotionally Limited Parents Misread Neurodivergence as Defiance Neurocomplex traits often get pathologized in emotionally rigid households. Curiosity becomes backtalk.

This is also about school.

Grave robbers and their beneficiaries forced to return stolen human remains and sacred burial possessions by law because they were so sure they were entitled they had to be forced to right their wrongs.

omg the NASA footage of the recent sun probe is incredible

A lot of the resistance to mask wearing in the West is due to xenophobia and an inflated sense of cultural superiority. Masks have been a longstanding cultural norm in parts of Asia for decades - not just for viruses, but also air pollution

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

when you refuse to wear a respirator in your every day life—
only wearing one at protests, or when you're foced to, but never to the grocery store, pharmacy, on public transit—you contribute to a social climate able to criminalize protective tools. CHOOSE SOLIDARITY, prevent infection, mask up.

Historically pandemics have ignited fascism & normalized eugenics & indifference

Yes, and I’ve been noticing this pattern as a disability historian. When people got ‘fed up’ with taking precautions and blamed vulnerable people for their boredom, grief or trauma, the ableism just exploded. Openly eugenicist ideas espoused in mainstream outlets, the r-word becoming ‘acceptable’

It is frustrating to me that (a) the word "alpha" came out of studies on wolves in skewed situations, (b) the word was used to designate leaders, but (c) is now just being used to describe assholes who couldn't lead a group of lemmings out of a paper bag.

Toni Morrison taught us that the weapon formed against us is distraction. She framed it as distracting us from our purpose, but the enemy we face wants to distract us from all life, to command our attention away from caring for ourselves and experiencing anything other than fear. We cannot let them.

Have often heard Americans wondering how ordinary Germans could inform on Jewish neighbors to the Gestapo and well...

The anti-DEI moral panic, fed by the NYT and others, including people like Tyler Austin Harper, has never considered or cared that "DEI" programs included programs for disabled students, lower income families, first generation students, and veterans.
