The advert, which claims that the company values honesty and direct communication, and “fosters a culture of respect and integrity” might as well have followed on with “THIS IS A TRICK” in bright-red 72-point font.

A job advert written by a neurotypical HR manager is actually a big sack of stupid lies, sources have revealed. The advert, which claims that the company values honesty and direct communication, and…

Whenever you see a white boomer or GenXer hope you realize that there’s an 86% chance (according to Gallup voting polls) that that person voted for this invasion of Venezuela. THEY have turned us into the villains of this planet. They are the real terrorists.

Just a reminder for the religious zealots, angsty, and societally conservative: Not everyone celebrates or even acknowledges Christmas. So, when you try to rope me into a contest for who can say “Merry CHRISTmas” the most, understand that I will refuse, and you should probably reign your neck in.

What. The. Fuck. I’m not even censoring my thoughts here- this is ignorance run a-fucking-mok. We can scarcely afford to allow such critical climatic, meteorological, geological, and atmospheric information to be trampled by ignorant beasts. This is the path that returns us to being primitives.

Let me just make it absolutely, unequivocally known: I do not support those who use AI. I consider AI to be the greatest single technological threat to civilization since the atom bomb. Its power to destroy, its power to deceive, its power in general will never be used to benefit mankind.

I love that, despite the scope and scale of my employer, I still have to post things like this just to have folks behave in an adult, reasonable way. Yet, I could signpost my face and neurotypicals would STILL force me into uncomfortable interactions and then put ME down for not being social. #ASD

Ouch. Another critical hit from a satirical comedy page that sometimes hits a little too close to reality.

the james dobson memorial website has a page where you can submit a "tribute" and they don't even ask for your e-mail address. which seems risky. i mean. you could just write anything there. even gay microfiction. or relevant bible verses. or gay bible microfiction. jamesdobsonmemorial.com/tributes

Excellent thread by Prof. Ortiz demonstrating the feasibility and practicality of switching to all-electric home lifestyles. Your mileage may vary depending on your utility providers, but threads like this prove that it IS possible; that places the burden on us as citizens to take similar actions.

I’ve undergone a tremendous personality and perspective change over the last decade or so. It’s been a journey with its start in racism, homophobia, cowardice, conservative ignorance, and cynicism. I’m certain 20-year old me would have sneered with disdain at who I’ve become over time. (1/2)

The Māori word for #autism is takiwatanga, ‘in their own time and space’ I for one think it’s lovely to describe the condition I can relate to this as I find focusing on one thing at a time works better for me.

It is so incredibly heartbreaking to have been in pursuit of a life in STEM- to have studied and worked hard to get closer and closer but have my career (that I was forced into by necessity) pull me further away. (1/?)

Neurodivergent facts: 1) I am bullied/harassed daily at work. 2) My management does not support me as a “disabled” worker, despite what the books and manuals instruct. 3) I can’t afford to leave and be jobless. 4) The bullies and harassers are aware of #3, so the harassment intensifies daily. *sigh*

My corporate employer cannot seem to grasp the difference between the power and versatility of Microsoft Office Desktop and the horridly weak and watered-down Office 365. The difference is analogous to the difference between children’s doctor playset toys and actual medical instruments.

In light of recent #scotus rulings: I keep seeing statements like “this can’t go on” or “how does this keep getting worse?” This is the very definition of “the slippery slope.” Once pushed down it, extreme effort will be required to slow, stop, and climb back up to where we started our slide.

Situations like the destruction of the latest #spacex rocket on its launch pad really hurt public perception of science 🧪. Regardless of SpaceX’s intent or the dedication of its engineers, their track record is beginning to cause more harm than good. Why does this matter? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Finished. What a book! I have rewritten my adult goals for life. 1) I no longer have any of my previous desires. I have reset my mind to its childlike state. 2) I will explore, discover, inquire, and aspire to greater understanding of our Universe. 🧪 3) I will encourage others to do the same.

A well-worn but obviously well-loved copy of Carl Sagan’s book “The Demon-Haunted World” sits on a workbench table. Under the cast of the work lighting, the subtitle “Science as a Candle in the Dark” gains multitudinous meanings.

Story of my life. Biggest lie I was ever told growing up was “work hard and you’ll be rewarded.” Nope. In the end, I discovered that working hard and being kind just got me relegated to the bottom rungs for not being insufferable enough. But at least my kindness and humanity is still intact…

ND thoughts #002: Always hire NDs. They’re loyal to a fault, naturally enabling despite social anxiety, strongly altruistic, and hard working. They avoid politics and almost always give honest feedback. They’re also easily abusable and no one- not themselves or their coworkers- will defend them!

Reading a classic. Who speaks for Planet Earth? Only those willing to be skeptical, wonderstruck, and curious- and those willing to brave the floods of ignorance, trivialization, and belittlement that wash forth from the superstitious and cowardly. #science #curiosity #sagan #cosmos

This. 15 years of promotions skipped because “can’t you just turn off your autism and be more charming?” No, I can’t. Although, a proper rephrase would be “I can’t flick a switch and be nauseatingly dishonest and ingratiating towards human beings who deserve honest communication.”

Yearly active assailant training is my annual reminder that I live in a country so obscene and ridiculous that it would rather require employers to drown me in seminars of “run, hide, or fight” training than actually REMOVE tools of assault from public access. Ludicrous.

I’ve reached this weird point as a: - Former extreme conservative - Recovering cynic - Atheist who escaped a cult - Autistic adult The weird point is that I’ve become the opposite of almost *all* of those things- a kind human being. At least I strive to be. Still autistic af tho. 3/4 ain’t bad.

One of my favorite things about my #WebDev 🧑‍💻 journey has been beginning mornings in my office. I have a sunrise-facing window that lets in warm comfy sunlight that I can cozily enjoy while starting my morning programming. Ahhhh, bliss. Albeit, it’s hard to motivate when I’m this comfy! 😅

Waking up during the recovery phase for reconstructive knee surgery is rough. I don’t have either full extension or flexion in my left knee, so I wake up with cramped, stiff muscles. That’s not so much the problem as not being able to easily stretch or limber up those muscles without extreme pain.

(1/2) Initial thoughts on #bluesky : - I really like the availability of tools and customization of all types. Pretty well-crafted, so curating healthy connections ought to be easier than on xwitter or Threads. - Moderation tools are huge, and feeds and mute lists look neat - Accessibility options!
