#USA time to end #Scotus #Republican majority.
They turned a judiciary role into a political one and they dont represent the majority of the voters, so if it is political, Biden needs to add at least 5 more democratic judges.

I really think it’s time to ban Viagra, because if it’s God’s will for women to get pregnant, then so is your limp dick.

Judy Singer, TERF, neurodiversity, "neurorealism" 

So, neurodiversity "godmother" and recently self-identified TERF #JudySinger has now called the #neurodiversity movement "cultish" and wants to introduce "#neurorealism" – basically a new label for the same old anti-autistic ableist nonsense.

In that light, here's a little history lesson I posted to Reddit. reddit.com/r/neurodiversity/co

ME: If you’re not accepting me the way I am, then I don’t think we should see each other anymore.

THERAPIST: Again, not how this works.

I'm not on mstdn.social, but I will say there's a reason I deleted all my content and my account from Facebook, all those years ago. Meta is the same people, making the same choices, for the same reasons that Facebook did.

It still takes a while before Meta(P92) joins the Fediverse and the recent times we have read a lot of things from both sides

Polls are not super reliable nut maybe it will give a better overal picture of what you, the people using these platforms want

The result will not be the definite outcome for us but I do take it into heavy consider because I love you all very much!

"Would YOU want to federate with Meta's new platform?"

Just nearly sent an email to my new boss with the subject line β€œTwink Packs,” instead of the intended β€œTwin Packs,” in case you’re wondering where my mind is lately.

I'm reasonably confident it's a pigeon, from feather coloring and beak. My house and the neighbors on both sides have solar panels, and pigeons have colonized the area under the panels, for nesting. The crows like to hang out and steal eggs and babies to eat. This one was just too big, and got away.

So looking forward to watching Season 2 of The Bear when I get back from my Michigan trip next week. My wife has to catch up on S1 while I’m away.

My church has had a sort of β€œbenign neglect” attitude when it comes to random cars and vans parking overnight in our lot. But this - this is loving others.

I have a bird - a pigeon-ish bird - obviously young, too young to be outside the nest, that has been hiding out in my backyard for two+ days. It can't fly yet. I've put food and water out, because I know how birds have to eat and drink. It's surviving. Today it came into my house, I'm guessing for protection. We have hawks in our neighborhood. I want to bring it inside, feed it, protect it, teach it to fly, and then release it. How horrible is that idea?

For many of us knowing we were different was just something we grew up with. As we aged and progressed through school it was only ever amplified as those around us grew in ways that we didn't, as the ways in which we were trying to grow were highlighted and more often than not vilified. When they were known. Because many, perhaps most, of us grew adapt at hiding those differences, masking our confusion, our difference in justified fear and from our perspective then, shame. For those of us who are older the shame came from having no explanation for ourselves, no means of explaining or learning what it could mean. Pre-internet all we had was tv and films, books and magazines and no where in them did we see ourselves, or at least not in any away that was positive or could even be considered a role mode or a guide for what we could become. Our difference became only the evidence of how broken and wrong we were and something to be hidden at all cost. A dark and terrible secret that must never come out.
So when we finally began to learn what we could be, what our difference could mean, there is a history of hiding and of shame, to overcome. A lifetime of feeling wrong and broken and unjustified. Is it any wonder then that we fear to do this, to accept the truth of who we are. So common is there the need to seek external verification for this, in official diagnosis, in the confirmation of others who we think might be like us. A fear of taking a place that we are not qualified for. Because in the past this has never gone well for us and we fear now for a repeat. We fear also being wrong. Of finally finding an answer, but for it only to be a mirage. Perhaps our final hope extinguished. To have to go back into the darkness of hiding, feeling even more broken and hopeless than before.
And so everything has to be proved over and over again. Each step forward tentative and fearful, fulling expecting it to be the last upon this journey. Each doubt, point of difference between us and others and example of individuality amplified and proof only that we are wrong. That we do not belong here anymore than we have belonged anywhere and that we are truly the imposter we secretly fear ourselves to be and people wonder why imposter syndrome is so common amongst us and so hard to defeat.

@Zumbador @ScottSoCal 2) Stop using subtext in conversations and say what you mean!
3) And stop assuming there's some hidden subtext in what I'm saying, because there isn't!
