"I love when they allow me to play a little bit of the duality. Thatβ€˜s what I love about Bucky. I love that even though heβ€˜s come a long way, heβ€˜s still carrying his whole life experience with him. Heβ€˜s not a totally different person."

A whole lot of fuckers 'on the left' or 'in the center' gotta realize they are repressed, hold bigoted bias against some skin colors or types of people, or other shit and just be like 'well obviously my first gut reaction isnt the whole story and im not immune to social conditioning so what's up?'

Whenever you make art you should make it the most self indulgent thing that has ever existed. make it so self indulgent ppl are like Hmm is this a fetish, they went so hard with it, wow, I don't even go here but maybe I do now

I had ordered a Crab Facts advent calendar last year for my 8yo & this year intended to give her Eel Facts but I accidentally sent it to her cousins, last night her face fell when she opened up crab facts. So I spent last night making Axolotl facts, today’s was a basic one: axolotls are salamanders.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

If you'd like some good news on AI, the last few weeks have seen execs across multiple industries strive to hide AI usage labeling on their products because, as many of us have said FOR YEARS, the audience that *doesn't* want AI is substantial and we will reject your product whole hog for using it.

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

I was today years old when I realized how well a sled will move over wood chips, even when fully loaded with wet, rotting hay. Lower to the ground, it’s much easier than getting materials in and out of a wagon! 🌿 #gardeningtips #farmlife #worksmarternotharder

The Truth Behind the Deathwatch Beetle's Creepy Tap-Tap-Tapping In the United Kingdom, the insects were once considered omens of deathβ€”they're actually much more destructive.

If you lay awake in an old house in England on a summer night, you might hear a slight tapping, as if a clock were keeping time, counting out the moments remaining in your life.

Do you hope it keeps ticking?

Let's talk about the DEATHWATCH BEETLE, Xestobium rufovillosum.

A glimmer is a satisfying sensory delight that fills someone with fervent ecstasy. It is the opposite of a trigger (a stimulus perceived as threatening and unsafe). Autistic people often experience the sensory world with hyper-attunement, creative alliance and whimsy. These glimmers have been collected from a sample of autistic people and do not represent the experience of ALL autistic people. 

[image description: 

In center in yellow text reads:

β€œAUTISTIC GLIMMERS” 

Around the text are a bunch of examples with small coordinating drawings. Examples include: 

Collecting shells

Crushing lavender 

Sound of rain

Lava lamp

Cat purrs

Steaming tea 

Bumblebees 

Candle light

New leaves 

Knitted socks 

Damp springy moss

Shiny bubbles 

Shimmering feathers

Crunching leaves 

Freshly baked bread 

Dopamine dressing

Know your neurodivergent vocabulary - a #glimmer is like a small special interest, a wee little euphoria

Glimmers are vital to our wellbeing! Think of them as spoon-makers. We need them to help self-soothe, cope with stress. They can be anything, but there are many shared commonly in the community

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.
