Whitney sur l'astéroïde B-612 (she/elle/ella/sie)

Yeah it’s not bowing so much as oh you acted like a human being should act on this one thing! Good girl! Who wants a biscuit no you can’t come in the house because you shit on everything else.

Yup. It’s basically dog training for folks like her. Reward the “good girl/boy” behavior, shun the rest. And the rest get the cage aka prison.

What a gorgeous photo, so much play between energy, forward movement and restoration. I want to come walking with y'all!

Just called! This app is awesome.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Just used 5 calls to call all my reps. It makes it super easy--I HATE phone calls and often struggle to find the right words to say, especially through my rage. They give a handy script and pointers on getting your call tallied. If I can do it, you can too! 5calls.org

We stand with survivors everywhere. Release the files, and jail the PDFs, including the ones in the White House.

Ok sort of shocked at that but mostly clutching my pearls at the fact that she’s 27–did I misread that??? She dresses and acts like she’s 47. Hate ages people.

Former Midwesterner who went for a walk this morning—oh I saw! And did not judge because yeah me too.

Trump didn't pass level one giving a rat's ass about others and that's just the prereq for 1st aid.

Trump standing looking straight ahead as if utterly ambivalent to the man collapsing in a medical emergency 5 feet away in the Oval Office.

This photo encapsulates Trump better than the combined word count of every article ever written about him.

Oh this is all such a shame because we obviously share the same sense of humor as educators—and if your colleagues do too then that makes for a brilliant work environment. Minus the oh-so-slightly unreasonable expectations you’re working under, of course. *clutches Victorian pearls*

Well hello, sunshine.

As for me, I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

🤣 I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honesty! Also, sounds a lot like the U.S. (but minus the human rights).

What skills are most in demand and is a particular certification required? Asking for a friend who might be me.

But..but…it will look good on your résumé! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that old chestnut. 🙄 I’m in private practice now and rarely hear it. Whenever someone does approach me with an “opportunity” I respond, “Great! My hourly rate is….”. Shuts it down quickly—or I get paid. Win-win!

Agree that it could be trimmed and polished up. Right now I’m unable to take on anything more due to a pressing writing deadline—but anyone else who wants to revise and add should feel free!

I think it’s worded neutrally enough that it could pass Wiki filters and push the status quo slightly but not so much that it makes non-autistics clutch their copyediting pearls. It’s my researchy way of saying that the notion of a cure reeks of eugenics and should be banned from modern discourse.

Autistic Self Advocacy Network Nothing About Us Without Us

Advocacy groups and scholars within the neurodiversity movement emphasize accessible environments, communication support, and respect for autistic autonomy, rather than normalization.

In this framework, autism is understood as a cognitive and sensory orientation that shapes perception, communication, and reasoning. Efforts to “cure” autism are often interpreted as attempts to remove or replace autistic ways of being, rather than to provide support.

100%! Here’s an idea from my random research—feel free to use: “Many autistic people do not separate autism from their identity, and therefore do not view it as something that should be cured.

As someone who was dxed 10+ years ago I can see all the keyboard sweat and bandwidth labor that went into making this article less awful. They acknowledge “differences” but blatantly state that there is no “cure”. Yes, very much where status quo dialogue is right now.

Wikipedia for Edgelords 🙄

Yes. Proximity to an identity doesn’t = respect for or even understanding of that identity. Actions are what matter.

Thank you 💗

My elderly dog acted *just* like this about 6 weeks before we finally had to have him put to sleep. So sad. 😢 I miss that dog.

That’s better but it’s still so low in terms of today’s purchasing power. Unless it also includes utilities and healthcare?
