like to think I lead complex emotional life but then the sun comes out and i am happy. i am functionally no different from a big leaf
I think about this a lot
Why ABA Can Never BeΒ Neuroaffirming
ABA can never be considered a neuro-affirming approach to use on an Autistic child. this is a detailed breakdown of why.
It is horrifying how autism moms and transphobic parents are exactly the same kind of people. The same kind of dynamics.
It is not a coincidence that ABA and conversion therapy are so similar. Coming from the same peopl,e the same kind of idea.
Humpty dumpty ass dude
This whole right wing legal push to have kids characterized as their parents property really sucks man
"Parents should make their own choices re: vaccinating kids" Oh no they shouldn't
Bonhomme is emperor of Quebec
I was born in 1981 and I never even really considered that I might live to see Nintendo become a more durable institution than the United States
Say pizza to drugs say no to yes
the year is 2030. a doctor gravely informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people who felt bad for a monkey bought polyester plushies that shed millions of microplastics in the laundry that were were eventually consumed by the fish that you ate
Millennial woman horrified to learn she just wakes up early now
I respect the need for precision & get that we have no airtight evidence that visiting a site created solely to show murder, torture, etc. means you're guaranteed to commit a violent act but my GOD. It's so fucked & you cannot convince me it's anything other than a sign that you are deeply unwell.
So uh, is it just me or has the general ability for people to communicate in writing fallen dramatically over the last few years?
Itβs so funny to think about the fact that thereβs people out there deferring every life decision to this
When spotify paid a mediocre, not very intelligent man to βjust ask questionsβ it convinced a bunch of other mediocre & not very intelligent men that they too could have uninformed mediocre opinions and be rich and popular. A mediocricy pyramid scheme.
I hold Spotifyβs greed responsible.
I can identify. Right-wing propaganda has destroyed families.
"Iβm only asking for thirty bucks. Is that a scam or a steal? Hey, thatβs for you to decide. Iβm just an unlicensed, nonprofessional youngster with an inadequate shovel, a mom who says she doesnβt want me sitting around inside all day, and a dream."
Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading.
This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment.
1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.
What I've learned over the last 10 years of Trump is no one on the right actually "believes" anything. It's all performative to just gain power/control. That's why it's silly to debate them or take anything they say as good faith. It's all a facade.
a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content
Abusing women--shooting them, sexually degrading them, defiling their corpses--is a major unrecognized force drawing men into participation in MAGA politics.
Remember Marimar Martinez, shot 5x last Fall in Chicago for trying to drive away from DHS?
Guys who voted for a rapist want to shoot women.
the overt sexism and misogyny of Trump/MAGA has been as obvious and central to their politics as their racism has been for over a decade now.
but youβre not supposed to say that, because then youβre a Woke scold.
gender studies, critical race theory, feminist studies, Marxist analysis⦠all of these are valuable (and valid) lenses to explain why society is fucked up, which is precisely why the right seeks to destroy them
kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life
Franz Ferdinand rolling over as we speak
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
The technofascist ruling class have literally written and spoken out loud their plans
They plan to destroy every country, every public good, & every economy to create their own miserable cruel βnetwork stateβ
They are throwing violent temper tantrums because they faced consequences the first time
