I agree with LTG (R) Ben Hodges and the NATO Chief that it isn't enough to say we support Ukraine but want them to win. @potus should follow this lead. #StandWithUkraineοΈ
@JRBuckley @sentient_water HOW IS THIS REMOTELY SURPRISING??!? Has everyone forgotten βgrab them by the πββ¬β?? Have we forgotten his comments about dating Ivanka if she wasnβt his daughter??
@sentient_water @UnCoveredMyths
For me, a β is someone quietly saying "I really liked that." A boost is speaking to the room, "Listen up, y'all need to hear this."
@UnCoveredMyths My thoughts exactly. Often I feel people are being personal or vulnerable & a β says "Hey someone heard you but I'm not gonna broadcast this OK?"
Also a boost & a β means double like in my book.
On #Juneteenth weekend, Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a new registry that could have improved outcomes for sickle cell disease patients. The bill's sponsor called the move βpetty, bullshit #politics.ββ

I'm curious why does mastodon (& I assume the Fediverse) not really use or value stars β? I've had it explained that they don't do anything (then why have them?) But more to the point would you eat at a place that had ZERO stars β on TripAdvisor?
My dog, Little Man, is my constant shadow.
Dogs are the best.

re: Russiaβs strike on Kramatorsk city center kills at least 9 people, including 3 children
And I'm seeing news reports that Ukraine security services have detained a guy who helped deliberately target that busy restaurant for the Russians.
Inhuman.
Russiaβs strike on Kramatorsk city center kills at least 9 people, including 3 children
Russian forces attacked a bustling pizza restaurant in the center of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, on June 27, 2023. At least nine people, including three children, have been killed and 56 injured.
βTwo rockets were fired at Kramatorsk at a food establishment in the city center, where there were a lot https://www.weareukraine.info/russias-strike-on-kramatorsk-city-center-kills-at-least-9-people-including-3-children/ source : admin #Ukraine
@its-sal @actuallyautistic @retronautickz @hosford42 Funny how trans rights has become a sort of "canary" topic to check whether somebody is problematic in a lot of other ways as well. Seems often to be the case.

Significant sleep problems, getting worse as I get older.
@actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I've had insomnia for a long time, but my insomnia progressively required more and more support. My problems were cranked to 11 with my cancer. Nothing worked (medicine, therapy, blah blah blah) until I got a new bed, but I still have periods that are less than optimal or flat out bad. I don't mean one odd bad night. It is more like a week or more.
One thing I've noticed is that my needs appear to change. I'm fine with hugging my squishmallow, then I have to stop or I cannot sleep. I'm fine with white noise, then I have to stop using white noise, or I cannot sleep. I'm fine with my ears free from earplugs, then I have to use earplugs or I can't sleep.
It is maddening mainly due to the trial and error aspect of it.
Is it something that other autistic people experience?
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistics @actuallyautistic
Depends on the trip. Business travel can take a couple of weeks to recover and get my balance back. Face-to-face meetings, full masking/camouflage all day, every day. It's exhausting. Personal trips, with no schedule and no agenda can be recovered in just a couple of days - enjoying being in my bed, in my house, with my stuff exactly how I like it.
How long does it take my #ActuallyAutistic comrades to recover from traveling somewhere away from home?
@simid@neurodifferent.me
"fear of disability and vulnerability and projection of everything we are afraid of being ourselves, onto those who are "disabled" or needing care and compassion"
I hate my own meltdowns - they feel like I'm out of control. It's threatening when I see that in someone else, and I distance myself from it. I'm trying to wrap my head around that, so I can do better.

All of this:
βI grew up in a world based on a social contract that I was not pre-briefed on, and I just realized these rules made no sense,β Grimm told The Hill. βIt just seems to me as an autistic person that neurotypical [non-autistic] worldviews accept premises without reason, like pink is for girls, blue is for boys β¦ I just realized these rules made no sense.β

If it turns out you need to cover the yelling part, I recommend warm tea with lemon and honey to soothe your throat.
