seems like a reasonable way to interact with those peddling conspiracy theories.

I've spent 35 years trying to get rid of the racism I was taught, and 40 years trying to get rid of the internalized homophobia. When it comes to the autism I'm still at the "grit my teeth, duck my head, and plow through it" stage.

@ScottSoCal @tilton look just stay calm and keep your back to a solid wall until the lensflares pick up and you can find your way out

OK, but I have a Kelvin timeline, what's that? I've only gone into it a couple of times - it's very dark in there.

The speech by Frederick Douglass for the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society of Rochester, NY on July 5th, 1852. He was asked to speak on July 4th, but he chose July 5th instead, to commemorate the abolishment of slavery in New York on July 5th, 1827

At the beginning of the wedding, the newlyweds are blessed with  Korovay, and at the end, the godparents distribute the loaf among the guests, as if sharing the happiness of the young family with everyone present.

I haven't had to move in more than 20 years. This is the longest (by at least 4x) that I've ever lived in the same place.

Wasps eat pollen, with the bees. I've watched them on the Big-Ass-Overgrown-Flowering-Bush I leave uncut for the bees. I didn't know it would also attract wasps, but they've been harmless, so I let them do their thing.

Think this is a wasp but it might well be a hoverfly.
On looking closer - I think that it is a hoverfly

59 years ago, Pres. Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, shaping America as we know it today. 60 years ago, everyday activities like dining, hotels, & public trans were pockmarked by segregation & discrimination. This Act is the most comprehensive civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, & we owe it all to the tireless efforts of ordinary citizens in the American civil rights movement.

I'm able to easily detect negative emotions (anger, frustration) in other people's expressions, but not positive/affirmational (compassion/love) emotions. I've been told that's common in people with the kind of childhood I had.

@actuallyautistic Okay, folks... riddle me this.

When my ex-wife was glaring at me, I did not see the glare, and this caused us a whole bunch of disputes over the years.

The thing is, however, that if you put pictures of people in front of me and you ask about how they feel, I'm going to get it right.

So I'm confused.

Are there autistic people who can pass the "tell me what this person is feeling?" test on the basis of pictures, but fail to notice the feelings displayed on folks' faces when they are involved in a situation with those folks?

Like... if they are being tested in a clam setting, they can do it. (In a clam setting, at the bottom of the sea. Har... har... I meant a calm setting.)

But if they are in a possibly anxiety-inducing situation, the ability goes out the window?
