My ex long term partner was neurodivergent in very different ways than I am. Not AuDHD but anxiety and some other stuff. For us those differences might have made some other incompatibilities worse in ways that ND and an understanding NT wouldn't have faced.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

On the one hand: yes, a bit weird. On the other hand, I still cringe thinking about the time I met one of the foundational scientists in my field at a conference snack table and ended up asking who he was because I only knew his name and work, not what he looked like.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

You're just completely wrong. Just about everything you've described here are long term complications linked to Covid itself, which many young people ended up catching multiple times because our society refused to take it seriously.

“It’s easier to get a job when you have a job” is an idiom I hear often, and like… there is truth to it, but I feel like the people saying it don’t really internalize what that means. It’s easier to get a job when you have your basic needs met, and you’re not wondering how you’ll afford food.

Apropos of nothing, I will point out Hegseth was an infantry officer whose closest brush with command was leading a Plt at Gitmo. Never had a Company, and was pressured to retire as a Major. He’d get himself fragged.

The iced coffee thing is born out of the same impulse as “but what was she wearing,” “he had preexisting conditions,” “well, didn’t they know [traditional clothing] is unprofessional?” Anything to shift blame from systemic failures to a group of people already conveniently scapegoated.

If your pain needs an additional 50 mg of morphine to be reduced enough for sleep, that’s not opioid-resistant pain. If your fever needs three Tylenol instead of two to break, it’s not medication-resistant. If you need an additional dose of naloxone to see effect, that’s not naloxone resistance.

EMS says Narcan-resistant overdoses could suggest so

It’s been +25 years, but I really don’t think there’s been as much progress on harassment as we’d hoped. We seem to make paper progress better than universal effective progress. Workplace misogyny has a lot of places where “the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges”.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Time to break out this old chestnut.

Panel 1: A spaghetti-faced bat monster creeps through a menhir-strewn, moonlight-drowned plane. This is CTHULHU!

Panel 2: The dread High Priest of R'Lyeh's head is struck by a small red and white spheroid. The Pokeball bounces off the squid-y head of the elder god with a "Bonk!"

Panel 3: A nonplussed blue and white theropod glares as another Pokeball poinks off his muzzle.

Panel 4: Saruman the White, first of the Istari, foremost emissary of the Valar, sent to Middle-earth in the Third Age to stem the tide of Sauron's machinations, also gets bonked in the melon by a Pokeball. Sound effect is "Tok!"

Panel 5: Cthulhu, unknown dino, and Tolkien wizard chase a young woman and her companion into a nearby copse of trees.

Panel 6: A young white woman with half a purple bob (other side of her head shaved) leans against a tree trunk. She is wearing a blue tshirt with a red Gatchaman symbol on it, and a back pack with a trans pride badge on the strap. Her bulbasaur cowers at her waist. She is breathing hard. she says: Puppy, I think we're doing this wrong...

Panel 7: The girl walks away from the forest, holding her pokemon. She says: Sorry, baby. I thought for sure we were at least gonna get us a Sauruman.

Meanwhile, the Istari in question shouts "Keep looking, you fools!" as the dinosaur's head pokes above the tree tops, looking curiously at the towering form of Cthulhu, who is in turn gazing lovingly at the theropod.

This is a comic

Kronk angel and devil meme, showing the loveable himbo from the emperor's new groove with an angel and a devil arguing on his shoulder. The angel is labeled " eugenics is atrocious because all humans have inherent worth" and the devil is labeled "eugenics is atrocious because it fundamentally misunderstands evolution" and Kronk is labeled "me, a disabled evolutionary biologist"

I may have only ever done 1 photoshoot with this oversized mushroom hat, but gott daaam it might be my favorite. totally made, shot, and edited by me 😜😘 I love a good spontaneous artsy high fashion photoshoot. bonus if it's got a little booty in it.

rose wearing a gIANT blue mushroom hat. peaking underneath are her delicate fingers, her cute toes, and that good good booty. the ass. the butt. also it's in a thong. perfect.

Rose on her knees, you can see the underside of the HUGE MUSHROOM HAT. the gills, if you will. Her long hair is in two braids and she has blue makeup on with white polkadots, mimicking the mushroom pattern.
