@maunzikation @distelfliege Es ist halt irgendwie einfach ein fancy Wort zur Abgrenzung von allem was mit "Störung" zu tun hat, was aber eigentlich auch unter sensory processing disorder fällt. Was es (noch) nicht als alleinstehende Diagnose gibt, aber ein Ding ist das unabhängig von Autismus/AD(H)S da sein kann.
Ich mein, soll sich ja jede_r nennen wie er_sie mag. Aber dieses HSP Hokuspokus-Dings find ich persönlich voll unangenehm.
I need to do things but I don't want to do the things. You know... the usual.

Understanding impeachment
So we’re starting to hear folks in Congress talking about impeachment. In case anyone wants to understand what that would take, the Congressional Research Services has a good 24 page overview

CRS is like a think tank within the LoC dedicated to providing nonpartisan research for Congress. Normally their reports are only available to Congress, but people in Congress can release it to the public.
@maunzikation nooo, wie fies :/
I will now build my tent in the backyard and check if it is still usable 🏕 🌈

And these few examples were all from the realm of neurodivergency, I didn't include examples of when physical disabilities are used as metaphors for bad things. Which is also very, very often, and not doing that needs to be one part of that very same process.

But if you don't actually mean to insult by drawing on ableist concepts and it's just the first word that came to your mind, then trying to find alternatives is a great process to start.

examples of ableist language
I mean, these are cosmetic changes that come from the idea that most people don't actually mean it that way. Just like with other changes of that nature, like avoiding calling people/things idiots, stupid, r*t*rded, schizophrenic (in the meaning of "contradictory" or whatever), crazy etc, if one's simply looking for a way to express an actual ableist sentiment behind it in less offensive words, that's still shitty.

Admittedly, German has an easier way out by simply using -feindlichkeit instead, but there are ways to do this differently in English as well.
Sadly my English is a bit shit and I don't have any idea which of the more often-propsed alternatives actually work well, but they're out there :)

Today is the day of seeing -phobia used for hate and discrimination, isn't it.
- it takes responsibility from the ppl doing the shitty thing (yes, _especially_ if you're going to argue "it's not referencing mental illness, it's like in 'hydrophobic'!" - oppression is not a force of nature) and misrepresents the mechanisms
- it's awkward to throw people with phobias in with all that
- it is often used to score easy points from more openly ableist beliefs, see "homophobia can be cured" etc.
Es gibt eine Seite namens "campinggate" und das ist nicht ironisch gemeint ^^

Ich hab einen Campingplatz an einem See gefunden, wo es einen riesigen eingezäunten Hundeauslauf gibt und einen eingeäunten Hundestrand und Begrüßungleckerli bei der Anreise.
Das ist mal was Anderes als das "HUNDE VERBOTEN" oder "Hunde erlaubt aber es soll niemand merken, dass sie existieren und Hunde sind".
not at all interesting for cats

I want food but I have to make it first this is not fair. I am so tired.
