My dad once followed an elderly woman home because she was driving fine except that she went around every traffic-calming island on the wrong side 😬 Once she was safely parked up he took note of the address and licence plate and phoned it in.

I bet that the venn diagram of people assigning sentience to a programmed animation, and people denying agency to non-verbal humans, is a circle.

Two frogs exist together in spite of it all.

One frog is blue with rose eyes, and the other is purple with blue eyes. Both have a blueish purple linework. To their left is a rose, purple, and blueish purple floworal creature. The field they are in is pink, rose, blue, and purple. Above them all are purple words that read, "Trans rights in spite of everything." Around it is purple stars and dots that are rose, blueish purple, and blue. You can get this 4x6 for 30.

I genealogied too close to the sun recently and discovered that her husband was my fourth cousin 3x removed.

Equal parts grossed out at the fact, and delighted at how much he would have hated being related to my queer, immigrant, feminist, socialist, 1/4 Ashkenazi ass.

I’m sure there is some very meta statement here about not trying to #drawtober one’s coffee before drinking one’s coffee.

Yep! I have contacts for distance vision and have to use reading glasses for close vision on top of them to see my phone πŸ˜‚

My normal day-to-day glasses are varifocals.

At the conference in Dubai, Ellison began with a joke about Musk before warning the audience that artificial super-intelligence was coming sooner than expected.
What, Blair asked him, should governments be doing about it? "The first thing a country needs to do is unify all of their data so that it can be consumed and used by the Al model, Ellison responded.
Ellison was also specific about which data needed unifying - and he had an example in mind: "The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data," he
declared, but it was too "fragmented" at present. Below him, the former prime minister nodded, clutching his Tony Blair Institute (TBI) notebook.

I know this is a radical position that will probably enrage people

But hear me out:

What if this thing we call autism is just the way some peoples’ brains work

Not an illness. Not a brain injury. Not a defect.

Some. Peoples’. Brains. Are. Different.

And they don’t need to be fixed
