Today I noticed that my nipples, which once shone like headlights, now operate more like flood lights. Aging is interesting.

I'm a member of a local autistic group and it's been a game changer. Check if there's any local to you. Also any groups that involve her interests. But please remember that you are not responsible for her. You need a life too.

Yeah, it's will be upsetting to her but she needs to hear it. I'm always grateful for honesty and maybe you can help her reach out socially? For me it was the push I needed.

I think I'm like your room mate. I'm Autistic so social stuff is highly stressful but I'm also really social so I blab on and on to anyone at home (my safe space). Please tell her how you're feeling and that you need a safe space at home too. You need to feel safe too.

As usual @kentparkskeet.bsky.social is spot on. I don't miss the days of sanctioned misogyny, homophobia, racism or transphobia. I don't want a return of the white Australia policy or corporal punishment. But each to their own I suppose.

I totally agree with him, but people in cults cannot be reasoned with. Logic is futile when arguing with emotion.

I believe most people who romanticise the past are at the stage where they're feeling irrelevant. They don't understand or embrace change so it must be negative.

I heard an American lawyer recently profess their shock that many First world countries don't automatically extradite criminals to the USA. Don't they realise that most civilised countries oppose the dealth penalty?

It wasn't until I had a child in a pram that I truly recognised how difficult it is to be in a wheelchair. I was so humbled and embarrassed that it took this to fully recognise my privilege. I'm deeply ashamed.

I just heard a story of a Nazi swinging a young child by the legs and smashing them into a wall to kill them and then I heard a story of Jewish soldiers shooting and starving Palestinian children and the world makes no sense to me.

Childcare worker's wages (and aged care and teachers) need to be raised to attract more employees so that centres (and schools) are not desperate for staff and greater safety and quality measures can be implemented. We need to value the professions that we entrust to care for our community.

Whenever this comes up I think about 'The Remarkable Life of Ibelin' - a documentary about a young Norwegian battling Duchenne muscular dystrophy whose parents allowed him to play WoW thinking he was wasting his time. It turned out he was living his best life, that was impossible IRL.

Mr Husband took the kid to his soccer match today. The first time, nervous, parent ref got hot and decided to take off his trakkie dacks and wear his shorts. But he wasn't wearing shorts. Mr. Husband said that's why he won't referee.
